abtin90 Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Big thanks to Scott87 for showing me around his supra he's made my mind up ill be after a manual na and ill convert it to turbo over about a year, can't wait to get one now Nice choice. Though if your considering going NA-T next year I'd hold out and buy a 6 speed NA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scott87 Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Big thanks to Scott87 for showing me around his supra he's made my mind up ill be after a manual na and ill convert it to turbo over about a year, can't wait to get one now Not a problem at all, glad it convinced you! Kicked me into gear for giving it a good clean too! Great place to start if you go na-t already having the manual and the 5speed will be good for a range of power levels and whifbitz do a nice uprated clutch if you do want that bit more power! If your destined for 6 speed i forgot to mention the bmw boxes are a good compromise and a dam site cheaper than the supra one, but does require a small amount of modification. But either way a 5 speed na is great fun to drive imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
