ilicos Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 Your car is an N/A right? don't waste your money on fad tuning mods that won't really add any benefit. If I were you I would either put it towards styling or put it towards a full service. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j_jza80 Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 The only worthwhile power mod you may get on your budget would be Nitrous, but refill costs are expensive, and installation costs could put it well over £500. You may get a set of UK brakes second hand for that, which would be a huge improvement. Sell the Supra and put the £500 towards a faster car? You should be able to pick up a tidy TT Soarer with that budget. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lbm Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 £500 should be enough for a deposit on a nice TT Supe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smallshinyant Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 wow, this turned into an anti n/a thread pretty quick. Maybe replace some of those hoses on the engine with some nice silicon ones and a bit of chrome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackso11 Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 nothing about being anti na, but for £500 you will not get anything that will add power to an na....except a full decat if you already have a cat back. Actually you can get a second hand cat back and a full decat for £500 I would think. That will be your best bet for power. If you don't want to decat it, change the headlights and get some brand new facelift ones, makes the car look so much newer....but will take £400+ out of that budget.

Not really anti-na just helping the lad put the cash in the right place na`s arent slow but theres not much you can do to them either, either save an extra £700-£800 and get a TT engine fresh from JM Imports if you want power if not just concentrate on fresh alloys, paint, service I`m currently getting rid of all my Veilside stuff atm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supra_aero Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 Styling, but even then £500 won't go far. Save it towards TT conversion. You are already 1/4 there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nodalmighty Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 The NA has it's place. It's the car you buy to put a fecking big V8 in because your TT is fine the way it is. You can pick up a 1UZ-FE complete with loom and autobox for that money from a breakers but that will only add about 60 bhp. Lyndon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fizzle Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 (edited) service, manifold, & decat pipes.. all 3 for under £500! coil overs, or brakes for performance interior styling.. leather seats, dye carpets, roof lining, dials, blue light conversion.. also HID's a very good buy!!

Guest Suprastar2009 Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 Thanks for all the suggestions guys, Im thinking the manifold and service idea is seeming to be the most suggested so far, with nitrous coming an a tempting second Gonna start shopping on saturday so keep the suggestions coming.......Another quick one sorry for all the questions, Anyone know any reputable Nos fitters / Manifold suppliers Thanks Again and I thought id include some pics after I cleaned it this weekend mmmm shiny!

supra_aero Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 Given how nice your car looks I'd seriously only do a TT conversion. Anything else its not worth the money given £ per hp output. What I reckon anyway - nos + insurance increase will be a lot. As would servicing which you'd get free with the TT conversion anyway.
