mugen_power Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 First off just thought I would come and say hi as I'v finally decided to get the supra that I have always craved, and figured where better to start than here and purchase from here as people on car forums tend to be enthuasiasts therefore the car are more looked after etc. I'll be coming up from a 2.0 gti 6, which is a fair big step so I'm guessing its probably best to go to a N/A first off get used to that much more power and putting it through the rear wheels, right? So I just thought I would come on and do some research etc, look for common problems with them etc. I trying to compare it to something, my mate has a nissan 200sx s14 which I think is pushing similar power to the N/A supras and are fairly similar size, weight etc, has anyone had any experience of both these cars. If so could you just give me a quick comparison so I know roughly what the power and speed will be like, i.e similar to them? And if anyone has any tips you guys want to throw my way in regards of buying your first supra I'd be very gratefull Cheers Great site by the way.

colsoop Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 Welcome to the fold. I don't see the need to start with an N/A unless your budget doesn't allow a TT. I came from a saxo VTS a few years back and went to a TT. Quite a lot of people find that after a while of owning the N/A they want more power and end up adding a turbo to it at more cost than buying a TT originally. Have a look at this thread for a guide to buying: CLICK ME Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mugen_power Posted September 27, 2006 Author Share Posted September 27, 2006 Yeah I was considering this just saving up a little bit more and do it properly first off. Cheers bud I'll check out that guide. Can anyone point me towards a guide as to how much a tidy N/A and a tidy TT should be, they got to be manual though.

s crane Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 n/a £5000+ for good one .. tt £7000 + you may buy cheaper but best of luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 A manual NA will go for around 4.5k and a manual TT not much less than 8.5k. Of course there are always exceptions to that but they tend to be cheap for a reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 n/a £5000+ for good one .. tt £7000 + you may buy cheaper but best of luck 7k for manual TT? Not seen too many at that price to be honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mugen_power Posted September 27, 2006 Author Share Posted September 27, 2006 Hmmm yeah I see what your saying and I did consider just waiting and throwing a bit more cash in and do it right and get the TT first time round. What sort of mileage would we be talking about? With my experience with japanese cars my honda went for ever are supra's the same? What sort of mileage do they get to before you need to think about getting rid? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The length of time you spend riding in them isnt an issue providing they have been well looked after and serviced regularly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
