Supradan Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Just take your 15 to 20k up to jurgen and he will find you a car to the spec you require;) JMImports Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chingy Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 welcome, get yourself another £8K on ur budget and come see me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevie_b Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 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.

j1mb0b1 Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Start off with a TT 6 speed bud and build it up to a single turbo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobSheffield Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 What's the plan then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Suprapr0ject Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supragaz Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRACIE_LOU Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 Ello!! Welcome too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caseys Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 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?

tooquicktostop Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 Your budget will buy you a monster single turbo already built and finished, I would do that and save the build pain, as said go to JM Imports and place your spec and order, Jurgen will advise welcome BTW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzy Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 Just buy mine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R Black Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 You will get 400 brake without going single and with that budget you could possibly get a V8 dropped in, if its a single you want though get it prebuilt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkR Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 Just buy mine That's what I would do. It comes from 2 very well known and respected owners on this forum... http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=181613 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
