Guest Cravo15 Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Hi Guys Just an introduction really, potential Supra owner here. Currently have a Celica T-Sport and I am a moderator over on CCUK but I am just exploring the Supra a little at the mo as I have always loved them. Ideally I would be looking for a White JDM NA as too much power at the rears would scare me haha, I drive like an old fart most of the time but like to have it there just incase Budget would depend on the sale of the Celica but I am guessing about £4k in sale of that and leave myself a little left over for subtle modding such as wrapping / painting the centre console, custom speedo dials some LED installs etc. I have modded my Celi quite a lot and I love the modded jap car scene but I am kind of hoping for a car that doesnt need that much doing to it in terms of looks. I would prefer a subtly modified but most importantly well looked after Supra BUT has to be white Any help would be appreciated guys, thanks. This is my modded Celica Lots more pics if anyone here is interested in it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wewsupra Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 welcome to the site mate. I started of with a supra n/a manual to get me used to the rwd car and after 2 years of having a n/a, i upgraded to a T/T . Imo you should be able to get a real good n/a for 3k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyson Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 You will get a nice 5 speed or auto for that money, welcome to the club Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Cravo15 Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Cheers guys. I'm in no massive major rush to get one so I can wait for the right one to come along Fancy a bit of lazy driving so think I would go for auto then maybe upgrade to TT in a couple of years or so Had a crappy 3 series Beemer which put me off rear wheel as it was a nightmare in bad weather but I think a lot of that was down to the rest of the car rather than the it just being RWD lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeiretto Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Hey mate, welcome. Love that Celica right there, the T-sports are really fun to drive. 4.000 should give you no trouble finding a very nice N/A! If auto, you might even find a Twin Turbo for that price...

Guest Cravo15 Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Thanks buddy. I do love my celi but its time for a change now I think. Put a lot of work into her since I bought her. Just seen this on autotrader is it any good ?? http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201303225901193?atmobcid=soc4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sideexitsupra Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Looks clean enough, but no mention of service work done in the UK since its been here. Saying that N/A engines are cheap as chips if you did have an issue. I guess it boils down to if you like the styling and wheels and then having a proper look at. Looking at where it is there are a few knowledgeable members around there who might be able to help or possibly Jurgen at JM Imports could inspect it for fee? Dont quote me on that and I have no idea if Jurgen even does this sort of thing so could be talking utter tosh ;-) just that I saw it was Newcastle way from the phone number.

Guest Cravo15 Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Ah wicked. Yea it's in North Shields and have a few lads on Celica club up that way too who I could get to have a look. Looks a little tatty in places but nothing that couldn't be sorted out with a couple of days work Thanks for the input dude One thing.

How twitchy are the back ends on these Depends how good your tyres and geo setup are. Shouldn't be a problem if your not driving like a nugget.

Supra Gaz Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Nice celica, I had a genuine TRD Celica in blue, fantastic car, I upgraded to the Supra from that. You won't be disappointed, the Supra was an obvious to me from the Cell, more power, RWD, better looking. Happy days. Oh and welcome to the club!

JasonR24 Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Nice celica and welcome. Your best bet is saving up a bit more and getting an auto TT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just seen this on autotrader is it any good ?? http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201303225901193?atmobcid=soc4 A couple of others have mentioned that Supra. Not sure if any have been to look though. I also went from Celicas to Supras. Vvti to vvtli to NA supra, to NA-TT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Cravo15 Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Haha ditto mate. 140 to 190 to hopefully NA to TT Need to find one close to home to test drive first then I think in all likelihood ill get one from here. At least you know it's been well looked after on here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

safcdixon Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Welcome to the club, Nice looking Celica you have dude normally not a huge fan but this one looks nice, You might be able to sneak yourself a auto TT for 3.5k to 4k, imo go straight for the TT theres nothing worse than spending money on one car only to get bored of the power and end up upgrading anyway and end up losing money on the N/A, anyway good luck with your search Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeiretto Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 I had a Celica before my Supra, but it was a sixth gen. Still kinda miss it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supra Gaz Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 (edited) Thanks dude. I'm just worried I wouldn't be able to control all those horses at the rear wheels. Ill have to give both a try I think You would be fine, fit racelogic traction control if needed, or dot press as hard on the loud pedal! If you know you are going to go for tt eventually then do it from the start mate, this is coming from a very long time NA owner, suits me as I go for back road blasts where massive power isn't needed or useable. That said, I like to tinker and am pondering NA-T. Edited April 11, 2013 by Supra Gaz (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
listy Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Looking at a celica, what do they drive like ? Nice to drive IMO. I'm considering another now as a daily they are so cheap now, you can pick up a nice vvtli for £3k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
