Axle Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 What next? Don't think i would want to sell her. Is it time for a single conversion? Or would the fun of that soon wear off before i realise i could have spent that 10k towards something more unique? (Corvette Stingray 6.9L ??)

AlexM Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Buy a slower car to drive for a bit, then go back to the Supra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt H Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Who knows how you will feel. A still think a single conversion is a lot of bang for buck. All the money i have spent, that i have seen something back from (not the money wasted on the various cowboys across teh country) i haven't got one ounce of regret for.... Completely love it.

The Raven Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Just drive something normal for a bit. I went without driving mine for a few weeks and using the work van. Love was back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axle Posted May 19, 2009 Author Share Posted May 19, 2009 I do have various other slower cars. Can't get much slower then an Audi 1.8T can you? Anyway, going single is an option, and hearing people state they are happy with theirs makes it appear all the more worthwhile. On the flipside though, i do know there are various people who are not so happy with their singles? Hmmmmm... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If its a healthy base car, and you use quality parts and somebody that knows what they are doing with the fitting and mapping then it should be plain sailing mate. Go out in one to make sure its what you want first though, it is a lot of money to spend out and with car prices at the moment 10k will go a long way towards another nice car, is yours auto or manual?

Axle Posted May 19, 2009 Author Share Posted May 19, 2009 it is a lot of money to spend out and with car prices at the moment 10k will go a long way towards another nice car That is also my thinking. However, how many of those would be quicker then a well setup single? Mine is currently an Auto, so that would have to go too - So roughly another £2,500. Hmmmm...

You could stay on the stock autobox if you keep to a small single, some seem to last years and others not so long, id suggest a drive out in Lui's car, phr stage 1 and auto box.

bignum Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 I was close to selling mine a couple of years ago and having completed my single install myself gave me some interest in the car again, then there`s the way it drives now:), if you`re handy with a spanner its not too bad a job really.

Gaz6002 Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 I *think* my next car will be a TVR Cerbera. I can't find anything else that really floats my boat... under £100k of course Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axle Posted May 19, 2009 Author Share Posted May 19, 2009 (edited) Have you been out in one? serious downgrade from a single turbo supra imo. I agree, my brother had one. Wasnt overly impressed. Although sounded awesome. It had electrical faults, and was only 2 months old. You could stay on the stock autobox if you keep to a small single, some seem to last years and others not so long, id suggest a drive out in Lui's car, phr stage 1 and auto box. I want alot more power then the Autobox would cope with. Plus i love driving manuals, specially on track you cant beat them. Also, my w126 Mercedes outruns the supra, albeit with a v12 engine, but still that should not be happening. My Supra needs a new Turbo i think. Now just to decide on which one.

Pig Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Just to check axle. Are you bpu already? I think manual would make a good difference. It took me a long time to be happy with my single. There is always something to do or change. It's unbeatable on song though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adnanshah247 Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 im going single now, im so excited, all the supra excitement is coming out again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt H Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 I think i'm very fortunate the way my single has come out. I love it and it delivers power better better than stock I'd defo steer away from anything large. Just makes the car hard to drive and has unusable power for most of the time. Small single... set up properly, a pleasure to drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz6002 Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Have you been out in one? serious downgrade from a single turbo supra imo. I've driven a few, but it's not all about the power for me. I have always loved them, I think they're the best looking TVR and although not as quick as a single, they do go well. It would have to be pretty darn special to make me sell the Supra though. I'll probably end up with both Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt H Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Best looking TVR has to be the sagaris. Love the look of that car. Was going to get one if i didn't revive the supra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra_aero Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 I've driven a few, but it's not all about the power for me. I agree but you'll find very few people on here will sympathise with you on that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kslb Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 If you are thinking of going single I would sell up and buy one already done. I am very happy with my single it is the muts nuts but if I still had all the money I had ploughed into it I am not sure I would do it again, I would probably spend it on a track car for the weekends. Although if I had that money now it would probably stay in the bank as junior No1 is due soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
