And is it worth it? Hope to get a quick answer VH Christian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian W Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 i wouldn't dismiss getting an automatic anyway. is it possible for you to test drive an automatic Supra in Sweden? if you definitely want a manual then i'd suggest just buying one rather than an auto. i don't think it's *that* hard to do but you may as well just spend a little extra and buy a manual anyway to be honest.

Pabs Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 i believe i asked this same question not so long ago - you could almost pick up 2 auto supra's for the price of a manual (ok not fantastic, but u get the idea) - so i was thinking of doing the conversion. It appears it could cost around 5k+ to do it, although some have suggested 2k and others 6k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pabs Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 lol - i saw one at 5k and another at 5k, and looking at some manual TT's on here for 10k+ my maths isn't far wrong - but as said, the two TT's would be med/low-end condition, but u could probably break it and make money..

I did´nt think it would end up in aroung 5K.. then it would be cheaper for me to get the manuel one We do the entire thing inc parts for £3500 (yes inc new clutch and refaced flywheel) We have one in right now for anyone local wanting to take a look mid conversion.

Not a bad price that. Out of interest Martin, how much of that figure is labour? I'm asking £2800 for the full kit with the rps clutch and fly so sounds about right.

I reckon if i had proper ramps i could drive in and back out again say 6>8hrs later all finished, maybe quicker. It really is easy to do.

Rayman Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 Buy the auto and try it for a bit you might find its not as bad as you think. Its more important to get a good example than what spec it is in my view. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pabs Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 where were you lot when i asked this question a month ago??? lol Certainly makes buying a decent auto a possibility.. rather than the extra outlay for a manual to start with....
