thetrashcanman Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 None of those links are working for me mate, don't know if that's because I'm on my phone or what, converting an auto is around 3k for box pedals clutch flywheel etc, and around another £800-£1000 for fitting but I would check with someone like Paul at Whifbitz or Jurgen on here to get an exact figure.

LOGIE Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 Have you tried a TT autobox? If not try it then decide about converting it. They are great autos. cant withstand 700+ like that car unless its been built though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhincodon Posted June 29, 2013 Author Share Posted June 29, 2013 Thanks for that I cannot get liks to work for you it works for me if you look at classifieds where i posted same thing under help before i buy this car maybe?

ALso the pistonheads link to the car http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/toyota/supra/toyota-supra-t78-turbo---709-bhp/1480357 Stay away from that car! Its got scam or dodgy written all over it, for a kick of the stock auto box can't run 700bhp, so either I reckon he's lying and got a fake dyno sheet or something. Also that cars horrednously over priced, there is a black UK 6 Speed Single with a built engine for sale on here for 12k Oh and +1 to what Logie said, drive the auto box first before you decide on getting rid of it, it really is a brilliant box. As for the other car you posted that's for sale on here, is that this one http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?292007-1996-facelift-single-turbo if so that would be a very good purchase indeed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supra900bhp Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 If it was me I would walk away very quickly from your choice as something says SCAM all over it to me. ok add says 1985?? N reg is 1995-1996 its a facelift but dose not have facelift headlights or indicators plus old style seats im no expert but things just don't seam right. But if I had a choice of my 15k and even had to save my ar$e off and sale of a lung I would go for add's monster!! He's a top bloke with a very big love for his car so you know its well looked after and a well known member here!! I followed him of the dragonball and my god it looks the the nuts and go's like fook!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhincodon Posted June 29, 2013 Author Share Posted June 29, 2013 Thanks mate - my sentiments for Add were similar - I really wasn't comfortable with the way I was treated at the other - will go and see Add ASAP thx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
