Hi there from Rome :wave:, my name is Adriano and i'm 27 (yesterday!).
Initially joined this community only for importing a Supra, but found very good technical info and friendship spirit, you are great people, you know? ;)

After three years of happy 200sx ownership (cheers to all sxoc members here) i was looking to import my dreamcar from Uk/German (because Supras are very rare in Italy) when i had what we usually call "a big lucky kick in the ass" :d .....looking on autoscout24.de i found a Supra in Italy, Left hand drive, great condition and at very good price! What a lucky bugger i am!
1995 Aerotop TT 6speed imported from Germany by the first, rich owner; car was used very rarely cruising around Modena and most of the time stored in a "heated" box for the last 12 years....now it's mine and i'm loving it every moment ;).
Will post pics soon.

Sorry for my schoolish english


Cheers :)
Adriano

Thanks guys,
here Supras MkIV doesn't have market at all, i'm not sure if it was officially sold in Italy; there are only few importers and price for a TT6 imported to Italy are more or less:

Rhd J-spec starting from 16.000£ / 24.000€
Lhd Euro starting from 20.000£ / 30.000€

These are base price for model in average/good condition; with major mods or really low mileage the price climb up rapidly.
Paid my car 14.000£ / 21.000€, that's why i have a big smile on my face :).
Just a couple of things that needs attention, a major service and she's ready for the hot summer.

Hey it's an Aerotop, so not everybody cup of tea ;). Bone stock apart from 18" wheels.



Stupid ride height at the front because wheel is in a hole

Not sure if i like the wheels....however first mods i will do:
graphics f&f style, underbody neons and exhaust flame kit, any other ideas?

























OK ok, only joking :d, i will go for: refurbishing my euro headlights (one have a small leak) facelift style, clear front/side indicators, new discs/pads and some of the bpu mods.

Cheers
Adriano

That looks in very good condition Adriano, sounds like you were very lucky to find such a good example.

Are Toyota replacement parts and aftermarket Japanese branded prices expensive in Italy? I'm a trader on here and can supply most Toyota and Japanese branded parts at very good prices. If I can help with any advice or prices for anything just get in contact.

Enjoy :ecstatic:

cheers

Thanks everybody for the kind comments, and yes the white rabbit make a lot of heads turn here ;).


Nic: Japan/Usa aftermarket parts price are crazy high in Italy, i bought 99% of my 200sx parts in Japan, Usa and of course Uk (apexperformance, driftworks,ecc.). I'll give a ring very soon ;).

Ciao Adriano!
Nice Supra. I think you just beat me to that one, I called on a Monday and they told me it was just sold, LOL.
You got it for a good price too.
BTW for God's sake, DO NOT DO THIS: graphics f&f style, underbody neons and exhaust flame kit

He was joking!!!! <phew! had us all worried! :p >

:welcome: Adriano :wow: gorgeous example of a supra you have there, even if the dash controls and dials are all in the wrong place :innocent: :p

You'll find plenty of informaiton, and good entertainment here on the forum, just ask ;)

What are the modified car and performance car scenes like in italy? Any big japanese car shows there? No pics of you in the car? :(

Very nice Adriano, welcome to the Aero club.

Ops, sorry for the delay! i've been busy trying to sell my Silvia....which is still in my garage atm, more difficult than i thought.
Thanks again for the kind comments!

mr keef: Glad you like Italy, Sorrento is a very nice city!

paulrenn: Probably ;), i tried to lower the price and they accepted without a word. Only joking about mods :D

turbonut: I think Italy (as usual) is years behind the rest of Europe, we have lots of stupid laws, just one big online community (www.elaborare.com) and only a couple of really big car shows :rolleyes:
However i'm not in the scene anymore, too much attention to big aesthetics mods and ice.....not my taste (no offence to anyone!) i'm focused about performance with little aesthetics mods to emphasize the sport look of a car.

Charlotte: What kind of Italian things you like more, Ferrari&Lamborghini or pizza&spaghetti? This is an hard choice i know :D ;)
