supraaaaaaaaaa Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 hi, new to all this not got one yet but am sure i will be soon, so many beauties on this site, i have always fancied a tt and now im 25 decided to treat myself :p i have a budget of upto 15k but dont want to max it really, dont want anything crazy powerfull yet rather build that bit myself over time so i can be used to the car. and would like advice on which model to get, really fancy a manual for the feel of the drive, going up and down the gears etc, what mods should be deemed essential and should have come stock then ? i guess you may get a lot of day dreamers etc, but it will be a weekend car so running costs isnt an issue, as it wont be used much have my work van for that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesmark Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 Welcome and £15k should get you a minter. Supradibbs car is up for sale still (i think) Link, regarded as one of the best around and its only £13.5k but it has been modded, but still an awesome car that you wont be dissapointed in.

how_supra Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 Welcome to the club mate. Have a look in the sale section, there's a couple in there I think. For 15k you should be able to get a very nice example Where abouts in Berks are you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supraaaaaaaaaa Posted June 5, 2006 Author Share Posted June 5, 2006 looked at that one and its absoultley stunning just be worried about that much power when not used to it !! im comming from a 220bhp vaux !!! im in reading that is my max budget and would spend it on the right one, but otherwise ould spend 12 on a late spec one if that makes sense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

black cat Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 i would recomend getting a minter for around 9 to 10k then spend 5 k later on modding when you know a bit more. things get expensive but 5 k would do quite a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
