D1andonlyantman Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Hi everyone. Looking to buy my first supra. Got the cash, actually found one I want, and am in talks with the owner, but it has occurred to me that my garage is very small and the supra is not... I could get in and out of my evo ok, but it was pretty tight and according to Google, the supra is an inch wider, but also appears to have longer doors which won't help. My garage is 2.45m across, is anyone else dealing with a space that tight? Cheers Btw I'm pretty slim and nimble Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sizes might be on the forum for mine from many years ago, I'll have a search back for you. Check the door width of the garage first, not the internal width Mine is that tight that I have to put the window down to enable me to open the door a little and then slide out of the car, then stretch my arm in to put the window back up, but I have trapped my head between the glass and car before doing that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D1andonlyantman Posted February 16, 2018 Author Share Posted February 16, 2018 The door is a little slimmer, but if it doesn't fit through the door with some space to spare, I've got no chance of getting out lol. Itd be great if you could find your old measurements, cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Btw I'm pretty slim and nimble Mine is a little tight width ways, I have to have a play getting it as close to one side as possible which ideally takes two people lol length ways is not a problem as my garage is a extra 7 foot longer then a normal garage I will try and do some measuring at the weekend for you and post it up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers! - - - Updated - - - Wicked, thanks chaps You're welcome I don't think you will have a problem, you've got 100mm extra width then me, and even in my garage I worked on it a lot last year fitting my paddle shift and electronic gearshift. I was in and out of the car a lot no problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D1andonlyantman Posted February 16, 2018 Author Share Posted February 16, 2018 Awesome, I should be all good then. Now just need to wait until tomorrow when the guy tells me if the supra is for sale or not. He wants to keep it but has got his eye on an R34 GTR so might need the money. I'm praying!
