NAM_killer Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Hi everyone, I've been lurking around the 'for sale' section for a little while now and have finally decided to sign up in preparation for my next car (no hints on what I'm looking at) I think with stuff like this, it's best to ask guys who really know what they're talking about and have the same passion as me. Not just some guy who wants to sell his car. I've recently been introduced to older Toyota coupes and I have to admit I fell in love at first sight! My current car (which I have had for about a year and a half) is a 1991 Celica GT-R. Stunning. I was looking for something with a little more power and have a budget of ~£3k so was considering a GT-4 in 'my' shape until I stepped in my friend's uk spec TT. I was blown away by literally everything in the car, including the fact that my vaulting skills have increased immensly because of having to jump over the sills getting in/out. So my question to you guys is: For ~£3k, what would I be looking at for a Supra? I'm assuming something along the lines of a N/A auto? I just really want to get everything in line so I know what I'm doing before I start lookign at individual cars. I want to do it right this time as this is a car I can see myself keeping and looking after for a long time. Thanks for looking! I can't wait to own one of these beasts!

j_jza80 Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Hi £3k will get you a top N/A - either a 5 speed manual hardtop or auto Aerotop. It would also get you into a rough TT auto, but I would avoid that option. There are also 6 speed manual N/As, but I very much doubt you'll get one for £3k.

Rob_Mitchell Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Hey welcome. You would pick up a decent na for that money. I recommend you test drive the options auto,5speed,6speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Japlover Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Welcome, I've owned a 6 speed NA and would recommend this by far - solid gearboxes (worth about £2k alone) and setup if you wanted to do an engine transplant later down the line. You'd need to spend at least £4k for one though, and not many about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan_Turism0 Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 welcome, i've got a NA-6 and love mine currently planning a 1JZ vvti conversion on it, that said i spent the best part of 12 months searching and only came across 2 for sale lol and 1 was a complete pig lol. The gf has just got herself a ST205 have you thought about a gen6? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Good call on moving onto a Supra As above, 5 speed NA would be good at that price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NAM_killer Posted October 12, 2012 Author Share Posted October 12, 2012 Thanks for all the replies, I didn't think I could get a good manual for £3k! Looks like I was underestimating it Dan, I did consider a gen 6 but I really think that compared to the gen 5 GT-4 (carlos sainz) it was rather... not-so-good-looking Looking forward to getting one now, hopefully from someone on here!
