Guest TwinTurboDan Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 Hi all... Just bought a 1997 Twin turbo supra. Moved to this from a 300bhp astra H, so its nice to have something bigger and more respectable! The only 2 bad things at the minute are: its auto But to be honest im not too bothered about it... Would love to convert it to manual but im guessing thats not possible. And the splitter on the front bumper, im 50/50 at the minute... I live in dorset, any other members in dorset? as i dont see many supras... Plans are: 6000K HID's Rear 3 windows tinted I think that'll be all the plans as im quite happy it being subtle. Although you can never have too much bhp! Im happy to here peoples opinions on it and also there opinions on what i should do! Heres some pics: http://img820.imageshack.us/img820/3938/dscf1694c.jpg http://img15.imageshack.us/img15/5637/dscf1683o.jpg http://img847.imageshack.us/img847/5552/dscf1682.jpg http://img694.imageshack.us/img694/4640/dscf1686y.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotty71 Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 Welcome nice car...... Autos are great (you can whip the TT6 boys when they miss the gear changes) You can convert to manual but it is expense. You would be looking at a 6 speed box and the gubbins - cost circa 3k+ just for the box Oh and HIDS and window tint and leave it at that, looks sweet anyhow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 Seeing that car is a blast from the past, it was owned by a member here many years ago. Think I have some vids of it in the archives BTW, you can convert it to manual, but it's a very expensive exercise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
