supra_ufo Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 My turbos are dead in my TT and gone for a refurb which should be a few weeks... I was going to post a thread on how to convert my TT into a N/A, but dare not LoL The weather is amazing and I am missing out, as most people said, its a supra at the end of the day nothing else matters.

LOGIE Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 if it really bothers you that much slowly save your £ and get a turbo kit or source a TT lump in years/months to come, It doesn't matter what car you buy if there is a higher spec you'll get slated by some to**er.

Monkpower Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 Sam mate, I had my old NA for 2 and half glorious years. I spent quite a bit on it but it always put a smile on my face. Great handling car and it looked sexy! I got frustrated at times that it didn't have as much power as I would have liked but I knew how to put it down on the tarmac and have a lot of fun. Enjoy it mate its still a supra and an iconic piece of Japanese automotive history!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abz Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 Mate think you have taken it the wrong way, TBH I haven't witness NA bashing at BW meets & I have been going for years. We are one of the most friendly groups of people on the forum so if anyone has mentioned it to you then it must be in jest If it makes you feel better, I was keeping up with some TT owners in my NA & Biebs was beating TT's in his NA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonR24 Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 On a serious note my NA was bloody brilliant. Any supra is a good supra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dangerous brain Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 See I don't quite understand how people can say that they can afford an N/A but not a TT? The difference in price between a similar condition N/A and TT is almost negligible. At most there is a £2k difference. If you can afford the fuel, insurance, and modding bug costs which again are negligible in difference then surely finding another £2k for a TT is the lower end of the overall costs of ownership? The available power is a significant part of supra ownership and it's not really stock NA to stock TT it's the whole TT BPU cheapness that makes the car the icon that it has been. I don't dislike NA's (I've had 2) but for the money I'd never have another one as the the TT BPU is soooooo much better a car to have. Most people wouldn't lift an N/A's bonnet at a meet as most people with N/A's wouldn't have anything other than a stock engine to look at which in lines and lines of cars with uber shininess and single turbo's to look at isn't really of any interest. I imagine that the skyline board has the same issues surrounding GTR's and GTS-T's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samuel weller Posted June 9, 2013 Author Share Posted June 9, 2013 true, i know that people would better see a single turbo/big twin (apu) or a tt (bpu) etc, but....... just forget about it, i had a funny feeling it would be a bad idea, just feel a bit lost with it all, s**t i think i f****d up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mellonman Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 Mate you are on about my comment! Saying your brave having your bonnet up and everyone round it being n/a, is just asking for n/a comments thats why I said you was brave Nothing but jest mate hope I didnt keep you up all night thinking about it. If you are taking it to heart already I expect you will get very upset at times as its the most common banter on here sorry to say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsia Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 Pretty much as above, though. If you're upset over it, public forums probably aren't the best place for you :S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samuel weller Posted June 9, 2013 Author Share Posted June 9, 2013 very true, i think i better sort my self out first :S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LOGIE Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 At most there is a £2k difference That is quite a lot of money to some people, there are some members on here with fat wallets and think nothing of just buying big expensive parts and there are members who just get by with a standard NA and saving like mad just to buy the basic modifications.

skippyboyo1 Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 I've had some powerful turbo cars but got that sick of issues I chose my na for reliability. runs 14.3's all day long and in 8 years of abuse I've never had an issue apart from smashed difs (got turbo one fitted now) I've actually had more issues already with my 13plate 1 series than my supra.
