Guest Pandamonium Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 Hi all, I joined up as I'm thinking about a change of vehicles and love the supra, though if it all goes to plan probably just an n/a. I spoke with a few of you at JAE this year, after someone shouted they wanted to see the dogs We were there with the starlets just across the way. Cracking wee cars but thinking it may be time for a change. Anyway, great forum and hopefully I'll be about cheers Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supra N_A Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 ahhh you from uksc trust me mate a n/a is a no no I went from a starlet to a supra n/a lasted about 6 months! was sick of getting insulted by corsa,s nd clios gotta be TT suppy or single Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Pandamonium Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 I didnt want to hear that haha. The starlet isnt much above standard, prob 150bhp max and only money available for next car is what becomes available from selling her. Trying to keep jap, otherwise Im looking leon turbo etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyline1 Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 150bhp is alot for a car that weighs less than 1000kg mate, a supra NA weighs about 1500kg i think. welcome along too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Pandamonium Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 Cheers for the welcome chaps. Yeah the wee starlet is good fun, and has potential for more but its the money needed, plus the bike is there if i want to play stupid buggers haha, getting harder and harder to justify the 3cars and bike so thinking was to change the turbo starlet and non-turbo starlet and have some rwd cruiser Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
listy Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 Having an N/A isnt a bad starting point mate (its horrendous ) only joking. You can always get an NA and then do an NA-T conversion or TT engine transplant later down the line. (Or sell it and buy a TT when the money is available.) I found the NA a nice little entry for RWD cars, but as said, after 6 months or so, you will hunger for more power Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dim Sum Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 Weclome to the club. If you are after power might be worth getting a TT, that way you wont regret it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotty71 Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 150bhp on a 1000kg car = simplez 150 bhp per tonne N/a 220bhp on a 1550kg body = 146 bhp per tonne (stick to the Starlet) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Pandamonium Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 Thanks for the info chaps, maybe I will have to keep thinking. I could go 200sx but the supra looks so much better. Its great to see they have held their value, but not so good when your after one haha Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyline1 Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 Mate 200sx's are shite...my brother had one and i think there gutless too, his couldnt keep up with my skyline at the time and my supra made it look stupid too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Pandamonium Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 Seen kniff_666 post, http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?277778-Nice-NA-manual-facelift-preferred thats a nice black one. Anyone know anything about this one, i know its an auto but TT http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Toyota-Supra-Twin-Turbo-Auto-well-cared-Supra-owners-club-member-/170911803562?_trksid=p5197.m1992&_trkparms=aid%3D111000%26algo%3DREC.CURRENT%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D14%26meid%3D2510159371069730849%26pid%3D100015%26prg%3D1006%26rk%3D1%26sd%3D170911803562%26#ht_694wt_1265 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham1984 Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 Probably between 3-3.5k, at a very push when the missus aint looking, 4 Ahhhh the sneaky extra 500 hidden pound notes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Pandamonium Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 They only come out when she isnt looking haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Pandamonium Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Well back again I come, really after one now. Unfortunately it will be na as that's all the budget will allow, but still, a foot in the door and, hopefully, a hell of a car. Now to get starlets sold and hunting begin Cheers Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
straightsix Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 It's a pity you can't stretch the budget a little more. You could stay NA and still have extra power and torque with a great engine note to boot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Pandamonium Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 I would love a tt, even an auto tt, but the wife will be driving it too and she only has 2yrs ncb so that will hamper insurance, it will only be doing about 20miles a day, turbos won't even get warm, so all points go to na, at least for now till I win the lotto and give her the na and ill get the turbo haha. Yeah the engine note is great. What you think is easily accessible out of the na engine power wise, 240? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
straightsix Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 I meant going down the V8 route Best of both worlds - more power with no faff to worry about and better MPG than a stock NA or TT! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
