Supra-duper Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Currently looking at buying a non turbo supra. - MUST be less than 100k miles - MUST be a manual - All colours considered - Early ones are fine, without abs/traction control doesn't matter, more basic the better. - Modifications/extras that would persuade me to pay more are LSD, UK brakes, coilovers, uprated or recent clutch. As you may have guessed, plans will be to TT convert it so engine condition doesn't bother me, more fussed about decent suspension, brakes, gearbox and bodywork. Budget is £2500 cash, (flexible for the right car) & willing to travel pretty much any where in England/Wales to view/collect. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 If you're planning to up the power on the TT conversion then the n/a manual box wouldn't be the best choice. Also, if you're binning the engine anyway, why is mileage a concern? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh42 Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 The engine mileage isn't the issue here, he wants a low mileage shell so that he hasn't got to worry about rear arms and bushes etc. Also there are plenty of people running 5 speed TT with no issues and Keron said there isn't a problem with that set up.

SPG Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 I guess it all comes down to how much power you are going to be running through the W58, Standard TT levels should see you prelong the life of the box but BPU levels usually start to cause problems or silly driving (burn-outs/harsh launches) Can i ask, are you looking to do the conversion yourself or are you going to be getting Keron to source you the bits and bobs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh42 Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 He's planning on taking it up to Keron and him doing the work pal, Didn't want to just jump in again, He's planning on running BPU eventually, but if the w58 isn't up to it, he'll drop a R154 in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
