Hi all,

 

 

I am looking to start a Supra Project!

 

Specs: £7-9k to buy the car and another £5-10k to put into it.

 

 

Where do i start....?

 

Thanks

Welcome to the club!

You need to give us a bit more info about what you want from the car. Also, it's unusual to split your budget like that before you've found a car. Maybe you could buy your dream car for the £19k you have, as Supradan suggested. :)

Hi, thanks for your replies.

 

I'm looking at getting upto 400bhp. A decent paint job, new interior, etc.

 

I'm unsure where to start looking! Should I get a non turbo or ....

 

Thanks.

Welcome to the Club. This Owners Club has amazing resources and people with all the knowledge you will need. With your budget I should imagine you could find a nice TT 6 speed manual which you could Bpu and make it look very very tastful. The search button is your best friend. I am sure Jurgen could source you a top conditioned Supra to start with (JMimports)

 

Good Luck

 

Gaz :)

400BHP out of an NA would be tricky I think I can fairly say. Unless you're swapping out for something other than the standard 2JZ...

 

A nice facelift + BPU may do you? What sort of driving do you intend for the car? Something nice for the street? A track vehicle? Drag?

Bit of an update. I have decided on buying a premafe single turbo. Somone mentioned talking to jurgen?

Also, what's the difference on insurance with an import?

Thanks
