Guest dimesredbeard Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Hello all I have been thinking for quite a while about selling my current motor ...a gt4 st205 ... which i have really enjoyed owning since 2008 Came to the conclusion that it would either be a supra tt /mitsubish gto tt... or a 300zx tt .... cars i have always wanted.... but i am a big toyota fan How do the 3 cars compare? ....or do they at all? And with you guys n girls being the experts... what can i expect to pay for things such as a clutch change (auto) ? and other things like cambelt change etc I know the supra is a very reliable car if looked after properly... i have spared no expense on maintenance for my gt4 so a supra would be treated just the same Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dimesredbeard Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Officially a fully paid up member of the club :D Might try and get to one of the northwest meets ... Just don't take the mik out of my baby supra ... Been having a good look around the forums and there are quite a few decent cars up for grabs... I would prefer to buy from an OC as generally the cars are cared for properly... Looking at a few posts talking about mpg... & I'm not gonna ask that as I'm no stranger to regular trips to the shell garage... not bothered about fill ups ... 2014 will be my 1st year of supra ownership ... The search begins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
safcdixon Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Welcome to the club, your question in your first post about clutches for the auto, a full auto box with clutches can be had for as little as £150 so not a massive worry tbh Good luck with your search for your supra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dimesredbeard Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Cheers... Is the engine and box awkward to work on? ... I'm used to things being a pain such as a clutch change and cam belt change on a st205 it's a lot of messing although clutch can be done with engine in by a specialist I take the car too for everything as I 100% trust them. Can do most the servicing myself as I like a tinker ...:cool:but the big stuff I ll leave to the pro's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyson Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Those two don't compare to a Supra they are slow complicated bricks Plus they aren't that reliable especially the 300zx. The only real competition the supra had was from the GTR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything is very accessible tbh a engine or gearbox swap is a simple deal providing you have the right tools (crane etc), working on these cars yourself will save you a whole chunk of money being a big sports prestige garages will "charge" if you know what i mean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra_ufo Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 The North meets are pretty non existent however I think there is a Trafford meet now and again. Since I am from Hudd its not too far for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
