ripped_fear Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 I am currently on the search for a TT6 and although I do not currently have my target 10-11k, I have just stumbled across a couple of nice examples within my budget (if I can sell my n/a) so does anyone know these cars? The first is a tt6- http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/2548318.htm The second a TT aero which could be converted http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/2316861.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 I'd go with the first one. It all ready has a manual gearbox and you'll be paying like £5000 more (after the 6 speed conversion) just for the added aerotop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripped_fear Posted February 26, 2011 Author Share Posted February 26, 2011 I no this is what has attracted me to them, but they do say, if it seems to good to be true, it normally is, so I'm walking on the side of caution! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripped_fear Posted February 26, 2011 Author Share Posted February 26, 2011 i have always dreamed of a tt6 aero its my dream, just can i afford it. hmmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 i have always dreamed of a tt6 aero its my dream, just can i afford it. hmmm Ah cool. Personally I'd save the money and just get a TT6, but if you really want an aero then it may be worth the extra monies for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripped_fear Posted February 26, 2011 Author Share Posted February 26, 2011 that is my thinking plus, the aero is in Hampshire so it is allot closer for me. i was hoping they were members cars so the cars could be more trusted! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KamaSupra Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 Aeros are great fun to drive wither you drive slow or fast, plus summer's just a few months away. Put a manual box in later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripped_fear Posted February 26, 2011 Author Share Posted February 26, 2011 yeah may just do that! but one thing, is insurance more for an auto? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KamaSupra Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 You should just cut the roof off on your current car and do a TT conversion, be happy with a 5 speed aero Didn't realise autos were more on insurance than manuals. Are you still not loving your car as much these days? I've debated about selling my aero odd occasions, but once I sit in the drivers seat I feel guilty and realise I can't Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripped_fear Posted February 26, 2011 Author Share Posted February 26, 2011 oh don't get me wrong I still love mine to bits, but I have decided to buy a TT6 or maybe in this case a ttauto aero and mod from there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Attero Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 What is that silver addon at the front of the engine on the TT6? And that's a huge air filter. I'd be vary wary about this car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KamaSupra Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 Tough decision selling yours with it being so mint, as you know the bodywork and structure is really good and it's a blank canvas. Also it's good fun doing small mods and having a little project rather than a car already finished. I'd do the TT conversion and if it bothers me say in a years time, then swap your 5 speed for a 6 speed box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 i assume you mean NA-tt? and are you asking if it is?or are you telling me it is lol Sorry, I meant you could just go NA-T or NA-TT if you want instead of buying a whole new car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KamaSupra Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 I can never garentee i am going to get a pucka engine in return. But can you guarantee when you buy a Supra TT that the engine won't be also rubbish in that car? Understand what your saying mate about throwing money at your car, hard decision... You need to keep the Na and buy a cheap TT with the money you've saved, that way you've got a spare Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
