Guest steviedude100 Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 you may have seen my post in the newbies section, well yes i am new to supra's and im hungry to buy one now just had a look on piston heads and i found a 6 speed N/A? http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/920178.htm tell me what you think as im not 100% sure what im looking for exactly LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogmaw Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 It looks nice enough for an n/a, and the LPG conversion will be a bonus when it comes to fuel costs. Remember with an n/a you may well be hankering after more power sooner or later, and for a few K more you could get a decent TT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DODGYDODDS Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 Looks a real tidy car, and the bonus of a 6speed, like the way the guy says in the advert selling for a family car, a maserrati, whats wrong with a passat lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May be a good idea to get an N/A though, the turbo could easily catch you out. Get a year or so under your belt with driving the N/A and then go for a TT transplant.

Homer Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 Looks like nice car for the money. Best to get someone who knows these cars well to check it out for you (I.e. Marc P, nice one fella) The performance difference between the TT and NA is substantial, but if you're new to RWD the NA is a good place to start. However a huge amount of this choice should be based on your maturity and general attitude to driving on public roads rather than your age or experience. Out of interest, what's your age? The areas where they are the same is insurance and fuel economy (the NA tends to cost more to insure, but has slightly better fuel consumption) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich8v Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Please go and buy it, or at least report back that its dodgy. I keep looking at this car, and it looks really nice, and well looked after. The only thing holding me back is the fact i allready have a supra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest steviedude100 Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 nice wee 6 speed in there for a convert tho can you convert the 6 speed? to a TT or a single turbo? I free pretty much any weekend, so just let us know only problem now is that i have got to source insurance and sell my car...otherwise i would be up there checking it out now , but if your good to come view it with me that will be a massive bonus as i have already stated i have no idea what to look for .... im such a noob Looks a real tidy car, and the bonus of a 6speed, like the way the guy says in the advert selling for a family car, a maserrati, whats wrong with a passat lol obviously has too much money! Quite a large difference in performance, very little difference in insurance. May be a good idea to get an N/A though, the turbo could easily catch you out. Get a year or so under your belt with driving the N/A and then go for a TT transplant. so are all supra engines the same? is so would i not be better going for a single turbo on it as they are better?

The areas where they are the same is insurance and fuel economy (the NA tends to cost more to insure, but has slightly better fuel consumption) well im 20 years old...been driving nearly three years and i have got 2 years named drivers discount and im almost at my first full no claims discount lol (bit pathetic but i have to start somewhere). as most lads would say " i think im a good driver, in all honesty i think i am, im very alert and have a good attitude!" to be honest if i can get a really tidy supra i dont mind if it is a TT or N/A as i just want something that is reliable and has the super sexy looks as the supra does Please go and buy it, or at least report back that its dodgy. I keep looking at this car, and it looks really nice, and well looked after. The only thing holding me back is the fact i allready have a supra. well give me your supra and you can buy that one....8-) ha ha only joking, if i can get rid of my car and get insurance i will be up in leeds in the morning mate again thanks for all comments you guys really are a great help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mints Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 I'm going over to have a look at this on thursday night with a friend so i'll see if i can get some pics and let you know what its like =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supra-Brett Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 can you convert the 6 speed? to a TT or a single turbo? so are all supra engines the same? is so would i not be better going for a single turbo on it as they are better? Yes, 6 speed is excellent for a TT conversion. Its much stronger than the normal N/A 5 speed box. You could single turbo an N/A engine, but its generally accepted on here that its vcheaper and less hassle to drop a TT engine in. You could single turbo a TT to get big power but thats an expensive route too. N/A and TT engines are roughly the same (waits to be corrected). Both are reliable, and strong and overengineerd so are capable of mods and increased power without problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Please go and buy it, or at least report back that its dodgy. I keep looking at this car, and it looks really nice, and well looked after.
