Guest SupraNewbie Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 Thanks...yes FTO has been great, a real looker but it is time for some serious power. Here is my first noob questions, with the Supra being rear wheel drive is there any difference in driving style/anything to be aware of?

edge Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 Its predictable but at the same time will bite you if you dont give it respect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SupraNewbie Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 If anyone knows of a TT partly/fully modified in any colour than red (don't like red) then let me know. Oh and if anyone wants to PX for an FTO then deffo let me know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edge Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 Have a look in the for sale section and also check the traders - Paul whiffin (whifbitz), jurgen and CJ and maybe even some others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 Here is my first noob questions, with the Supra being rear wheel drive is there any difference in driving style/anything to be aware of? Yes, there's a huge difference. You're stepping front a front heavy FF car to an almost 50/50 FR setup. That means a change from understeer to oversteer, if you've not owned a powerful RWD drive car before this might not be the best car to learn in - it is VERY unforgiving. All I would say is keep it stock for a good 6 months, get used to the way it handles under wet/cold/slippy conditions before you ever considering modifying it. Is it an auto or 6spd?

Guest SupraNewbie Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 I have an Auto FTO and fed up with auto so going to get a Manual TT. OK so maybe I will be a bit reserved with my right foot when I get my hands on a supra and get used to how it drives... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terribleturner Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 Welcome mate, so you off the fto forum?? How_supra on here (my other half) owned a GPX for a year or so. Used to love the Mivec engine, but as said, going from that to a TT is a BIG difference and something that can so easily be underestimated.

Havard Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 As has already been said. The TT is a wonderful car but there have been stories of the second turbo catching people out in the wet, especially when the auto kicks down. I have had ny NA for 8 weeks and I am still driving like a fanny! Have a good look around, there are some quality motors knocking around for very good prices too! Good luck! H.

Guest SupraNewbie Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 Check My Garage out as am putting mine up for sale in the next week Very, very nice! More than I want to spend but I am slowly changing my mind...well need to start thinking about shifting my FTO instead of dragging my feet. Which spoiler does it have? There are 2 different ones in the pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markssupra Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 Good luck with the search. You wont regret it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millsy Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 Yeah, good luck mate. The FTOs do look quite nice but I reckon you'll be smiling from ear to ear after driving a Supra. I still do! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
go4longer Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 welcome mate got my self a 6 speed just last weekend and you do really need to get used to the car before modding it mine is 100% standard and I've had it fish tail on me a couple of times off roundabouts and it puts your heart in your mouth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supragaz Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 Very, very nice! More than I want to spend but I am slowly changing my mind...well need to start thinking about shifting my FTO instead of dragging my feet. Which spoiler does it have? There are 2 different ones in the pics Thanks mate. It did have the Veilside 'picnic table' on the back end but I changed it back to the Stock spoiler.

Solid Snake Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 Welcome mate. I had an FTO some years back when they were a bit scarcer. Didn`t have a clue what it was and wasn`t into modded cars at all then so have it to thank for getting me into the mod scene.....and costing me fortunes over the years Enjoy the site.
