pistonbroke Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 Im not really concerned with modding the supra up as a standard one will be fast enough for me! Yeah yeah, I've heard that before Welcome to the club matey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
narbar Posted December 15, 2009 Author Share Posted December 15, 2009 Ive spent the tenner and joined the club All im lacking is a supra! The RZ is the one I want but to be honest im not fussed I love them all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomgeer Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Welcome mate, A UK spec tt would be your best bet because the insurance is much cheaper than the japanese imports. Have you tried an insurance quote yet? sky insurance are a good company and do price matches if you get a cheaper quote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

narbar Posted December 15, 2009 Author Share Posted December 15, 2009 (edited) Cheapest quote ive got so far is 1600, this is off gocompare, but if i put my girlfriend on my insurrance is goes down to 1200. I havent tried sky yet but ive heard you get 20% off if your a club member? Is there any difference in power between the uk models and the imports? or all are the TT's 326 bhp? I tried to check on the forums guide but i cant open the pdf files and everyone seemed to disagree about the import TT BHP on the other forums lmao, thanks Dean Edited December 15, 2009 by narbar (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried to check on the forums guide but i cant open the pdf files and everyone seemed to disagree about the import TT BHP on the other forums lmao, thanks Dean J-specs are supposed to have about 280bhp stock as apposed to uk specs which have 326bhp, I think in reality most stock j-specs have a similar power output to the uk spec tt if you listen to people who have their cars rolling roaded the j-spec is usually well over 300bhp, They say that the j-spec power difference is a white lie to keep the Japanese car market happy (something to do with emmisions? i think). I believe the main difference is that the J-spec has the smaller, faster spooling ceramic turbos and the uk spec have the slightly bigger and more laggy steel turbos which can take a bit more boost (upto 1.4bar) than the jspecs, uk specs have 550 injectors and j-specs have 440? Different people give different opinions but that is what I have read. If you can find a uk spec with decent service history and low mileage, which is becoming quite difficult that would be the one to go for in my opinion.

narbar Posted January 12, 2010 Author Share Posted January 12, 2010 Yea I did, didnt have any luck on pistonheads but as soon as I put it on ebay it was soon gone I sold my astra for 5100 and brought the supra for 5500. Cant believe the condition of it for a 1993, I guess its true what they say about supra's! Quality Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TopgunTT Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Yes they are built to last as long as there looked after. Do you have any plans to do any mods? Does it have any already? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
narbar Posted January 12, 2010 Author Share Posted January 12, 2010 Yea its BPU and has a Greedy intercooler on it already, the only modifications I want to do are improve the brakes and get some OEM side skirts. Other than that im very impressed with the old girl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
