Newbie just sold 04wrx sti after a supra n/a

Hi all, recently sold my wrx http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160089520644ssPageName=Action:MPR

Now looking for a supra n/a manual. N/a? why not a TT i hear you ask, well the mileage i do to work and back makes owning a 3.0tt a little too harsh on the wallet i think. The scooby was very good on fuel considering the power however I have decided an n/a will do me just fine.

I'm not looking for peak performance (otherwise i would buy an evo) but what i am looking for is beautiful looks and reliability....which from what I hear and see the supra dishes out a plenty

Now a couple of questions....what type of mpg can i expect from an n/a manual? I was getting around 250-260 miles for a full tank (£45) from the scooby.

I am looking at buying such a car from a club member, as from my experience owing performance cars I have always found that enthusiast owned cars are of a higher standard. Having bought my previous two cars (evo 7 & wrx) from club members i can confidently say that such meticulously owned cars are the ones to go for.

Anyway, enough jabber....nice to meet everyone and i hope to have a super supra very soon....right off to the classifieds section.

lol well i get anything from 240 (driven fairly hard) to 300ish (driven sensibly) best mpg for me was 25mpg Thats from my n/a auto. I also bought the n/a as i do 50 miles aday and wanted a reliable but real smart looking car

Welcome to the site.

By the way it's a myth that the n/a gets better mpg than the TT But if you aren't after power then you can't go wrong with an n/a supe. Hope you find a good one soon

On full throttle its no myth lol

lol. Combined I get 24mpg. And on the motorway 29mpg, that's at a constant 80 leptons.

Depending on your budget, 6k+ will get you a nice faceflit n/a depending which one could mean 6 speed box, lsd etc, these are from mid 96+, the one to go for if going the n/a route.

Having an N/A over the TT, is like having a 99 without the flake:blink:

Get yourself a facelift SZ-R NA with the getrag 6-speeder, thats the best NA out there imo, its prime for an Na-T conversion shud you get the modding bug! The major difference mpg wise between the NA and TT is when driven hard i believe, you can literally watch the fuel guage go down a notch on the TT after just one full throttle assault!

Welcome btw!

Thanks all for the warm welcome....anything from 260-300miles is good!!

So the best n/a to get is the 6speed sz-R 96'onwards. Ok thanks all for the advice...gonna keep my eyes and ears open as have the cash waiting for a good clean example.

What type of price am I looking at?

It's not quite that simple I don't think. Mine is a 97 and is 5 speed - but then it's only an SZ.

You can have it for 6K though.

It's got to be silver or white (black was a killer to keep clean on the scooby!!).

Is the manual n/a better for fuel efficiency compared to the auto? and what kind of performance differences are there between the two?

thanks

And welcome Mine N/A is doing around 30-35 mpg on motorways It's manual.

Gotta admit I stumbled across my 6 speed facelift SZ-R by accident, I thought the guy selling it had a misprint in his ad

They can be found though if you're patient.

Not to sure on the performance/fuel efficiency bits though.

Oh.... and

Being a Scooby WRX (though not an STI) owner myself, I fear you will be disappointed with an NA Supra. It'll look the part, but the STI is a far better driving experience.

His wasn't a STI athough (bloody nice though)

Thought you were off to Dubai?

welcome mate

Welcome

Haven't driven an NA mate, but if it's anything like the TT you'll still enjoy your commute - except in the rain or snow perhaps! Or maybe you'll enjoy it more!!!

According to one guy you can get 35 plus. Makes a tank worth 400. Get real though, if you're in a supe it's gonna be 25 and 300.

Check out the ebay advert, it's a STI lookalike and he was selling it cause he was off to Dubai according to the ebay ad

Ah, my bad. Still, it looked like you were asking me if I was off to Dubai. Or maybe you were just suggesting I should?

I've got almost 400 miles out of a full tank before with my NA. Thats with Optimax ....... and thats when I drive it at a constant speed. Around town is about 300 miles.

Good luck with your search.
