Jspec Germany Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 Welcome. The "Search" button is your friend. Recommend you read the entire "FAQ" section first. You can also do some reading at http://www.mkiv.com and http://www.supraforums.com 6000 will probably not get you a 6 spd turbo. Perhaps a NA-Turbo conversion is possible though.

Guest Chumpalot Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 Welcome As Jspec said, you'll be hard pushed to find a 6 speed for your budget. I'd recommend signing up and having a look through the Classifieds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 for 6k you might get an auto TT but certainly not a good condition manual. If you're going for tuning, I'd save up a bit more if I were you and steer clear of the NAs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Havard Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 Welcome! You'll easy pick up an auto for 6k but there are a lot of dogs out there. Manual TT will cost you about 8 - 9k for a decent one! H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyb10supra Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 Whats your tuning budget and power goals?? my cost breakdown would be as follows and its not pretty Car j-spec 6-speed TT - 8-9k min for a mint example Insurance - 1k easily at your age + extra for modifications Depending on power - BPU - 1k or single conversion 10k + So you do the math its an expensive game so do your research wisely Or just buy one already done BPU car is plenty fast enough.....but be prepared to dip your hand in your pocket if you go down the single route Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TurboBrett Posted September 19, 2007 Author Share Posted September 19, 2007 Welcome buddy..6K you can have me old mondeo:rlol: lol cheers for the welcome guys, after doing a fair bit of research in to things i realise that a 6speed TT is probably out of my (the banks) budget, maybe i could stretch to 8k at a push, the reason for the 6k budget was because of me seeing a couple of supra's for about 4k but turns out there both n/a auto's the initial plans was not to modify it just use it as a bit of fun while the mini's off the road but i havnt desided what to do with the mini yet i see a BPU on the cards not long after i find one and maybe nice body kit, dunno realy want to get it looking nice over power hikes mainly because the TT should be quick enough for now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobSheffield Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 If you can stretch to 7500 then.... http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=122674 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
