safcdixon Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Welcome to the club Dean, whats your budget to give an idea of what type of spec your after Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Massey Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 There are a few members around your area, I'm in York. Think you will be waiting a long time for a uk spec manual, and need a deep pocket. But I wouldn't rule out the auto. I've owned manuals but have driven an auto and it is amazing! Oh and welcome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony tt Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 I don't think I'd go back to a manual again. The auto is excellent. Welcome Dean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest deanmclone Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Thanks guys! Okay well maybe I wouldn't rule out the auto I've never owned an auto before. I'm just after a clean pretty standard looking supra just not a silver one not a massive fan of silver cars :/ it's been my dream car since I was a young one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[ATTACH=CONFIG]179051[/ATTACH] pretty much down the road then! ohh no way! RIP so have you done much work on your supra? look very sleek! i need to get my hands on one asap! haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitch79 Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Not really, I changed the OEM panel filter to a K&N one, the wheels & tyres, swapped the window scutter panel to a carbon fibre one from whifbitz, bought and fitted an OEM front active spoiler and then bought a box of wires off here so I could control it myself... But I do have some recarco seats sat waiting for rails in my spare bedroom, a set of coilovers in the boot, and Reg plate surround for the rear in the kitchen (ongoing to make it fit) It will be going to BPU once my bank balance hits a figure Im happy with, and I'm still on the lookout for a TRD front strut brace. Arrh it didnt go to car heaven, just bits were killed (calipers, clutch, paint, power steering pump, splitter, seats were pitted, all thanks to the **** from coke dust!), guess saying "killed" was OTT ha.

I'll never work there again in my life, that is a fact haha. Yeh I hand picked it out of the japanese auctions, gave Jurgen a top price and let him do the rest, 30 hours later I was emailed "your now the owner of a supra" Wasnt the first I bid on tho, think there was 3 or 4 supra, 2 Integra DC5 and maybe 2 Celica GT4s before finally winning what I have. The hardest part was having to take bits off! Be alot easier on ramps too, not jacks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
