Guest wobblybox Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 Hopefully buying a Supra within the next few weeks or so, as I live in Northern Ireland the choices are somewhat limited. Looks like a trip to England is the way forward. I have a fairly limited knowledge on Supra's if anyone has advice on the best model to go for (dont want to start a riot here)!! Mind made up its going to a non-turbo unsure about gearbox. Had an automatic Toyota Surf and didn't really like it very revvy and always felt like it needed another gear on the motorway. I assume Silver is the fastest colour?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I say model I mean spec as in RZ, RZ-S, GZ, SZ, SZ-R etc, cant afford to insure/ repair twin turbos if they go poof. theres also six speed, aerotops ( Think they only come in auto??) etc to consider, new to Supras. As I said any advice greatly received. Any weaknesses I should know of? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hogmaw Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 Get a TT and hold tight. You will only be disappointed with an NA in the long run. Mark my words! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 When I say model I mean spec as in RZ, RZ-S, GZ, SZ, SZ-R etc, cant afford to insure/ repair twin turbos if they go poof. RZ, RZ-S, GZ are all TT SZ, SZ-R are all NA Insurance is a similar cost whether TT or NA. Supras are very reliable. Not buying a TT because you're worried it might break is not a valid reason really mate. No offense but if you can't afford a grand to fix your car if/when it goes wrong then you might not want a Supra. Everything on these cars cost quite a lot. If you're skinting yourself to get one you are taking a big chance. Final word of advice, I wouldn't look at NAs that have been converted to single turbo.

Bob Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 Definitely go TT, or you will never truly understand the Supra experience If you're worried about maintenance costs then get yourself handy with a socket set; you'll save thousands!

Final word of advice, I wouldn't look at NAs that have been converted to single turbo. ya see thats why ya go on forums to make yerself look like a dick!! didnt know the SZ and sz-r where NA's glad I found that out. I want the Supra for its prowess and goodlooks I appreciate the TT is the fastest and lairyest but i will be using this car everyday for transport. i am not skinting myself to buy the car however I don't want a moneypit either thats why i'm thinking the NA is the better option. I assume Supra engines are fairly bulletproof?? just boughta 96 6 speed facelift model for £5200. Bargain??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
