djskeme Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 I know they made manual twin turbos in aero top form over in the US, but I really want one thats right hand drive. Is it possible to get the top of the range GZ twin turbo aero top with the auto box and do a auto/manual (6 speed) conversion? What sort of money and time would it cost and has it been done??? Is the manual a lot better....and a lot more sensible with petrol?? (obviously no supra is sensible with petrol ) Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silvershark44 Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 Yes you can do a conversion. The auto is good though, dont discount it! Supra auto is very different to what you might expect. Think your looking about £3000 for the conversion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djskeme Posted April 16, 2007 Author Share Posted April 16, 2007 Sorry to be a pain, in what way? I drive a lot, but a supra has always been my dream car, and with the motorway i was thinking i would get the best out of a 6sp manual??? But i also love to get the convertible type roof. Are the aerotops very similar in the way they work to the mr2 T-bar roof...only a whole panel rather thanjust two glass panels? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 Is the manual a lot better It's more fun but the auto is good too. The auto is a lot easier to drive in heavy traffic though. and a lot more sensible with petrol?? Not much in it really. Unless you're a hardcore medallion man I would suggest getting a hard top 6sp. The aerotops don't handle as well as the proper hard top Supras. That's why they're all Automatic; 'cos you can't drive them fast anyway Retire that chestwig and get yourself a hard top - you won't regret it!

I must be a hardcore medallion man then Aero's get more looks anyway:tongue: but I do put the roof back in when I want to go faster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewOW Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 With the roof out on mine, it does seem a little soft at the rear, but with the roof in, its no difference between that and the hard top TT that a friend of mine had. I think a decent suspension set up and tyres (F1s) could do away with most of the differences anyway. I don't drive like a racing driver, but its good to know I can push it round corners without the feeling that its going to run off into the trees at any moment. And anyway, I have my own natural chest wig, so there. No medallion (yet!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soop Dogg Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 We have both a TT Aerotop and a TT hard-top and with the roof in the aerotop the difference cannot be noticed - either on the road or on the track. Obviously with the roof out, there's the usual flex and scuttle-shake, but really, when the roof is bolted in it does feel every bit as solid as a regular hardtop.
