Guest Averroes Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 Hi guys, have always wanted a supra but a few factors have pushed me back. One of which is getting hold of one in very good condition. Then its my prefereance. Ive always wanted to own a mint twin trubo Aero top with a 6 spd with a manual gearbox but as far as i know the Aero's didnt come with manual at all. What is the best suggestions for a person like myself. cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 *waves* Enthusiast-owned auto aero > manual conversions do come up for sale once in a blue moon but if that's what you really want you can always convert one yourself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayman Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 Welcome! Conversion is the best option although finding one already done would be cheaper i would have thought! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Averroes Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 Hi thanks for the replies guys. As Rayman has said, it would be cheaper to find one already converted. Now that is defo a car hard to get hold of lol Regarding the conversion itself, im sure from what ive read it costs considerable amounts of money to do. the other option I had thought of was starting a new project with a rolling shell. That way i get an excuse to do a full respray by taking out all carpets etc i.e. doing a proper overhaul with new interior, dash, carpets etc etc However that defo is not a very cheap option either. We worked on a impreza wagon NA and did a full sti conversion as explained above but i doubt its as simple on a supra. Would I be right in saying that guys?

Sean1933 Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 Welcome to the most helpful owners club there could ever be! Im in the middle of sourcing a poor condition TT 6 speed so i can completely refurbish to new condition. I would consider doing the conversion yourself. Its not that hard really from everything i have read. If your not in a rush then you can source parts gradually and it would only cost you £1k-£1.5k in parts. If i was in your position then thats what i would do! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Averroes Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 Sean is that for the auto > manual conversion? Btw what price range am i looking at for a Aero TT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustGav Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 The other option which I did, although I didn't go manual but the same process could work... Get an NA aerotop, and written off TT, and start swopping... I took the entire; drivetrain, engine, gearbox, diff, rear subframe... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dangerous brain Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 I owned pheonixs motor before he did. My plan was to do exactly what he did ie NA aerotop TT swap but go manual. I bought a TT manual write off from ebay and began the job. To be fair I pussied out and just broke the TT. The result was a grands profit (I gave the engine away as well). If you want a 6 speed TT aerotop I suggest you look for an N/A aerotop then find a write off TT manual of the same year and "reshell" the manual (insurance purposes, its way cheaper to insure a tt aero with a manual conversion than an N/A with a TT and manual conversion.)

Guest Averroes Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 Hi guys thats what i was also thinking of doing. We did a conversion from a NA impreza to a sti turbo, was wondering if it is easier or more difficult to do with an impreza. Furthermore what are average price differences between NA Aero and TT Aero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
