bl4stin Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 was on the way to work this morning , was about 06:30 on the chester high road on the wirral , and i decided to go on my gixxer came to the roundabout to go on to the chester high road in heswall , and waiting to join the road was a beautifull looking supra N reg in black with big silver alloys , looked about 18 inch amazing blue xenon front lights standard spoiler , tinted black back window , it looked fantastic , it really did , i never let cars overtake me , but i slowed purposefully so i could admire , it was phoenominal when i let it go past me , big exhaust at the back , dont think it was de-cated as wasnt deadly loud but nicely loud . got me thinkin now whether i should get a turbo , as i want one now as soon as poss , i may just get a manual n/a 5 spd , if i was to get a turbo it would be an auto. i noticed on the back of this supra i seen this morning it had 2 black square plastic things at each side of the reg plate , any one know what this is and what its there for ??. and also is the suspension on the supra n/a the same as a supra turbo suspension ??. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NathWraith Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Suspension for the NA and TT is the same. Its only the Jspec and UK that have differences. (softer for the UK version) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marcAB10 Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 the plastic bits are just numberplate surrounds, mine used to have them, think they were an optional extra and they don't serve any purpose afak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dude Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 You asked if TT and NA suspension are the same , they are if the TT is JDM if its UK they are not, I struggle to tell the difference but there again im not an excellent driver:blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Suspension for the NA and TT is the same. Its only the Jspec and UK that have differences. (softer for the UK version) Not correct the stock dampers and springs are different on the J-spec TT and NA and between different models/year of manufacture. They are the same fit though so parts are interchangeable between all models. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers for clearing that up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes fit is the same, damper and spring rates vary between models. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bl4stin Posted June 21, 2011 Author Share Posted June 21, 2011 as the guy said im an excellent driver , its why i asked for the differance lol , so i take it the TT has the better bilstein suspension and the N/A has just ordinary suspension ??

No the Bilstein dampers were standard on some of the later facelift Supra models and I *think* an option on the earlier models, the EPC would confirm this.

What suspension have you got on your Supra on Forza? If you're an excellent driver on there then maybe go for the same on a real Supra I'd personally go for the "race" setup.
