Guest PerpetualZero Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 Hey everyone, new to the Supra scene but not the toyota one Currently driving a ST202 Celica but hoping to make (what I think is the logical) next step to a nice TT Supra After loads of reading through different forums I've found this the most useful at actually explianing what I need to be looking out for and what to do next I reckon I will be on the hunt for a nice UK spec un-molested TT ... Is this gonna be like winning the lotto? lol. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pistonbroke Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 Is this gonna be like winning the lotto? lol. Mark I thought that, until I saw supra-plant pull up at the Bluwater meet in his showroom condition low mileage UK car. He says the seller had it up for grabs for an age too. Proof that they are out there. Can I ask why you're only considering a UK car?, you can get newer, lower mileage mint Jspec. IIRC, Jurgen can now get 2002 Jspecs into the country. They cost a pretty penny, but worth every single one of them IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest PerpetualZero Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 Reason behind the UK was the difference in spec as I thought it would save me in the long run e.g. Changing to bigger spec brakes, easier when it comes to BPU'ing it and stuff like the headlights etc. But the Celica I have just now is a Jap import so a J-spec isn't out the window altogether!

pistonbroke Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 A lot of later J-specs have the bigger brakes on already. BPUing isn't that much different on a J-spec as you already know. Personally, I'd rather have a nicer condition newer lower mileage Jspec to fettle than an old UK. Facelift headlights are also nicer to look at than UK's. Speak to Jurgen, he could probably import a car exactly to your spec already BPU'd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest PerpetualZero Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 Sorry to revive an old welcome thread but ... I was thinking of attending Suprapod this year only thing is I wont have a Supra by then, will I still be welcome to come and drool over the others? Ha. Reckon it would be the ideal place to get the last input I need before I decide what I'm for! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest PerpetualZero Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 Welcome mate, as said I Wouldn't disregard the jspec imports with the stuff you have said. Yea after reading a lot more on here I've realised that the later J-Spec came with the bigger brakes etc. thought it was just the UK's People still trying to talk me out of it with the usual "Oh it costs a fortune to run" etc. But the way I look at it is the money I will spend buying/Running a Supra for lets say a year, what would I get at a garage? A bog standard new corsa or something along those lines lol... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you serious dude? That would be amazing was planning on trundling down in the Celica but the fact I've never had the experience of being in a Supra yet that would be just Where abouts you in Scotland do you stay?
