Toyota Supra's

[Peejous]

Anyone had one, or know anyone that owns one?

Really tempted to get one, insurance is about a grand on either the Non-turbo and the turbo version.

Think i should??? lol

[Scattle]

Dad has one running about 420hp, Rapid cars, Get the Twin Turbo, you'll regreat the NA. advice on www.mkivsupra.net

[laura_g]

yeah this dude i know has one and an evo and he says his supra is way better they look hot too

[Peejous]

Just generally looking not buying this one (http://search.autotrader.co.uk/es-uk/www/cars/TOYOTA+SUPRA/Ne-2-4-5-6-7-8-27-44-49-53-61-64-67-103-133-146,N-10-18-4294966972-4294967173/advert.action?R=200807303606904&distance=26&postcode=b92+8lf&channel=CARS&make=TOYOTA&model=SUPRA&min_pr=2000&max_pr=4000&max_mileage=)

A work colleague at my old place of work had one.

Had it for 6 months and it cost £3k to repair in that time (Turbo also)

[Scattle]

The NA still has 225bhp from 3.0l. TT are 300ish.

ad the 2jz block is good for 600hp, then you need to start uprating it, e.g Pistons they are very reliable.

For a Decent Manual TT you'll be paying 8k ish.
Decent Manual NA about 4.5k.

[Saxovts22]

defo might as well go for the turbo if the insurance is the same!"

[Scattle]

A Uk Spec TT will be around the same insurance as a n/a Import lol.

[theshrew69]

I love em ive always wanted one.

My X's brother had one ace car but very very very dear to run. Drink petrol like its going out of fassion and Parts prices are silly telephone number type high Even everday stuff like brake pads and discs.

Having said that tho they are really well built and wont go wrong often.

[Jackman]

I can't stand them.

[Pat_Vts]

get a scooby end of.

[Peejous]

did like the scooby's but arn't really too fond of them anymore.
Plus rear wheel drive :y: lol

[Pat_Vts]

4wd?... thats better than rwd:P

[Scattle]

4wd is no fun.

[Pat_Vts]

4wd is no fun.

roundabouts... no offence but 4wd will go round it better than rwd? unless you want the back end to come out and smoke tyres as you go round the roundabout:y:

[Pat_Vts]

best rwd ever was the sierra cosworth and still is... consider that one

[Krys_23]

Make sure you have plenty of tread on your tires with RWD cousin had an MR2 lasted 2 days then met a stone wall and said goodnight :n:

[Scattle]

Didn't say it wouldn't go round better;)
There is a Video of a Supra/Evo and Scooby in Jap land going round a track in appualing weather all pro drivers, 4wd scooby and evo couldnt stay on.

[Pat_Vts]

;) dry conditions... not wet.. what will happen?...

[Scattle]

;) dry conditions... not wet.. what will happen?...

Fair Enough, but at the end of the day i'd rather have a supra. RWD ftw. Anyway bac on topic, Piss Juice go for the TT.

[Chuffy]

I used to have a MR2 fookin mere to drive in the wet even more so in snow. Not sure if it was me but i think the rear end always wanted to be in front of the front. Had to be very carfull with it.

[Scattle]

for sale section on mkivsupra is normally good.

MR2 is more twitchy than a supra, as its mid engined!

already looking through :y:

I really like 200sx s14as generally there good cars imo probs alot cheaper to run than a supra aswell but like you say mate you dont really like 200sx that much..

[Scattle]

My mate has one pushing out 650BHP before the 120 shot of NOS.... absolute monster, but has cost him a fair whack!!!!

I like them, hence why I got the little brother to it (FTO).

The V6 sounds awesome at low revs.... then the Mivec kicks in and the sound triples..... loved it!!!

Chris :)

[saxokid2006]

i see quite a few about nowadays, awesome cars! love them! huge cars when you get up close! not like our beloved saxo's

fuck jap crap, french all the way lol

[Karl]

really not a fan of Supras.
RX7 however....

[RCD-Performance]

mmm, supras.

Fast, yes, but the gearbox is AWEFUL! first and second are just too close, no real acceleration until third.

I've worked on supras running 8-900bhp on the standard internals, i do believe there is one floating around with 1000bhp through the standard egnine, go on forever, don't buy a twin turbo, go for one thats been single turbo converted, the twin turbos is a strange design, the first turbo boosts too a certain pressure only then does the second turbo kick in, so low down power is crap!

99.9% of serious supra tuners convert to single turbo :)
Just my 2p :D

Ross
RCD.

[Mugello]

supras kick ass!! they are monsters. deff get one. i have seen one pushing 1000BHP+

most people get the twin turbo and convert it to a big single setup. some have big twin turbo setup but the turbo lag is big, thats why normally they have one of the two turbos smaller than the other. but i would NOT recommend getting a non-turbo and converting, alot of work and never seem as powerful.

go to www.suprastore.com

great for supra's :)

[pjsaunders06]

I am unsure on supras, when i see them on internet etc i dont like them. But when i see them in real life i am like wow. I was looking into the price off getting one, but insurance is too high. Although i could insure a Nissian 300ZX 3litre Twin-turbo for the same price as my vts :panic:
