ChrisR Posted August 11, 2004 Share Posted August 11, 2004 Questions regarding normally aspirated Supra's -: 1. Do they have the same Auto box as a TT Supra 2. Do the Auto's have Cruise Control. 3. Do the Auto's have Traction Control. 4. How many Cat's. 5. Is ABS standard. 6. Do standard NA's have the same exhaust as a TT. Finally what are my chances of finding a completely standard Red NA Auto Aero with low mileage say between 40 and 50,000 miles.

Digsy Posted August 11, 2004 Share Posted August 11, 2004 1. Do they have the same Auto box as a TT Supra I don't think so. I would expect the ratios to be different at the very least. Functionality is identical though. 2. Do the Auto's have Cruise Control. Optional. 3. Do the Auto's have Traction Control. No NAs do as far as I know. 4. How many Cat's. Two. 5. Is ABS standard. Optional. 6. Do standard NA's have the same exhaust as a TT. No. I don't think so. It is certainly different to the UK TT. It will fit but the pipe diameters in the centre section are different. I believe that the back box is common throughout the range. You could probably get away with it. The downpipes will be different of course because of the lack of turbos. Finally what are my chances of finding a completely standard Red NA Auto Aero with low mileage say between 40 and 50,000 miles. No idea on this one. Maybe try to find someone who can import to order from Japan? HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangerous brain Posted August 11, 2004 Share Posted August 11, 2004 1. Do they have the same Auto box as a TT Supra Nope 2. Do the Auto's have Cruise Control. Mine doesnt but that doesnt mean they dont have the option 3. Do the Auto's have Traction Control. See answer 2 4. How many Cat's. 2 5. Is ABS standard. See answer 2 but most don't 6. Do standard NA's have the same exhaust as a TT. Nope its different from the cat back but you can fit TT exhausts they are just noisier and don't provide the same back pressure which so far hasn't been a problem with mine. Finally what are my chances of finding a completely standard Red NA Auto Aero with low mileage say between 40 and 50,000 miles. Between medium and hard. Mine is as above with 100k Km on it with improved interior and a replacement exhaust. If you are rock solid on the colour then your task becomes very very difficult.

ChrisR Posted August 11, 2004 Author Share Posted August 11, 2004 Cheers Darren, that certainly clears up a few things. Im happy to go looking but just need those few pointers. I guess with all Supra's depending on optional extras you could get none, some or all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it depends on the year of car you can pick up and if searching this board how long that person has had it. Cars stay standard on here for only a short term. Things to look for that are good mods 17" wheels UK brakes Decat Aftermarket exhaust (if you like loud) Leather interior side skirts (oem ones look the most standard) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason i asked regarding the exhaust was if any NA i find happened to have an aftermarket exhaust i would wanted to take it of and as i still have my TT stock exhaust was hoping it was the same. At least then it fits and appears from your experience without any issues. The car has to be stock for Marie's insurance, i guess an insurance assessor EDIT: wouldnt know the difference between a stock NA exhaust and a TT stock exhaust. We have a couple to go and look at so we will have to see how good they are. Cheers Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christ they don't seem to be able to tell the difference between a hardtop and an NA lol. As far as the other bits I mentioned go you plead ignorance as the brakes are standard toyota brakes, and an interior doesnt affect the insurance at all.

ChrisR Posted August 11, 2004 Author Share Posted August 11, 2004 All i ever hear is how bullet proof the Auto box is, so with the boxes being different between NA and TT are they equally bullet proof at stock levels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This box is good for about 300-350 hp without needing an upgrade. After that it needs stuff done to it at which point you need to start looking at limited slip diffs anyway so a TT box and rearwards drivetrain is advisable a place to go above that power.
