Guest mikee Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 Hey Guys, I urrently own a rev3 mr2 turbo that i'm thinking about selling to get a Supra. I'm not gonna be able to live with the running costs of a tt so it'll be an n/a for me. I realise i'm gonna lose power and a considerable amount of performance but i can live with that. So i'm wondering what kind of car can i expect to get for £4.5k?? Some pics of my 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 Welcome aboard, have a look over the for sale section to see what sort of cars are available in your budget, you should be able to pick up a nice one though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supradan Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 I went from a mr2 turbo to an na and wished i had just bought the tt. Welcome to the club by the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jevansio Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 I went modded MR2 to TT and never looked back, might have been a different story had I gone NA though. I think DannyW also went to NA and within months was after a TT. Does anyone know if running an NA is actually any cheaper than a TT (apart from the initial purchase of the car), I'm guessing servicing/tyres etc would be pretty even, TT being a little thirstier on fuel.

Rayman Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 Nice, save more for the TT, the supra is quite a lot more heavier than the MR2 so really you need a turbo to keep up with some of todays modern cars! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supradan Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 So far its just fuel and that difference isn`t that much(unless you have a heavy right foot) insurance was £30 more.I think the major difference is if anything goes wrong with the turbos.

adi2009 Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 I ve driven a NA supra and a rev2 MR2 turbo and performance wise, the MR2 was much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Todd Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 Your car looks like a pile of sh*te and you couldn't drive a Supra to save yourself, to much power for you Nice 2 Mike, when did you get that, thought you still had the N/A? Cheers Todd PS, Guys, mikes had a shot of an N/A before so he knows what the power is like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mikee Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 Cheers guys! I think the worry withy a tt would be if it went pop and the overall fuel costs etc, I've driven todd's old sup and it was real nice, obv it's not a fast as my 2 but then i don't think a std tt would be either but i think the looks make up for it!

Todd Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 That's a cracking spec on the 2 and it looks a stunner For the money you've got I'd be looking for a nice manual N/A or maybe more up your street an Areo Top but it'll be an auto. http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=103074 Don't dismiss the auto (can hear you now ) it really is good and you will not get the areo in manual form, unless it's been converted and it'll probably be a TT anyway.

Guest mikee Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 I'm not fussed about it being an auto tbh, I've heard the autos are really good! That red ones nice but after previous dealings with toyota red i think i'll go with a colour less prone to fading matey! What you driving now btw? Gto sold?

Todd Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 What you driving now btw? Gto sold? Nah still got it but don't talk about it to much on here, they might kick me out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
