Hi All,

 

Just bought an L reg 3.0 auto aerotop, always fancied a Supra and also wanted something fun for summer... a 2002 diesel passat estate will be on ebay this weekend in case anyone is interested ;)

 

So the next thing that tempts me is does anyone know a garage in London that could replace the 3.0 N/A engine and auto box with a TT manual? I always wanted this combination.

Update 20/01/08

 

Picked up the Supra yesterday - i'm so happy, they are even more fun to drive than i thought! the auto is very smooth and the engine seems to run well, loaded some pictures too.. might take a minute to download :) I paid £5000, mileage is a bit high at 89,000 - but condition looks good. It was exactly as described - purchased from discount car centre (dcc) in Manchester. I believe the last owner was an enthusiast so he may be here??

If anyone is interested to see my past Japanese cars, I have them on my website here :)

Thanks everyone for all the warm welcomes & am definitely now in the market for a six speed box and engine for conversion in case anyone comes across one let me know (I realise there is a bit of competition for them!)

New member, new supra, old question.

 

There is loads of places that can do it. Jezz (Trader on here) owns a breakers that offers this service but it is going to be very costly,probably around £5k to do what you want.

 

Or if you fancy doing it yourself become a member best £10 (£30 for life) you will spend and post in the wanted section.

 

:welcome: and pics :D

bump in case people want to see pictures.. files are a bit large so may take a while to view on dial up.

 

Also - just wanted to say thanks to all for the warm welcome. Thanks to Whifbitz for already giving me some advice on a manual conversion via pm

 

And finally an apology to all the others looking for TT six speed manuals for the conversion as I'm now extra competition in the bidding - sorry ;)

 

I'm working abroad during the week at the moment, but i'll keep my eye open for any club meets on w/end days in the south & might get the chance to catch up with some of you soon.

Yeah - i was looking at the model comparison table on the website and I noticed that wooden dash was an optional extra - can't decide if i like it or not though :) I guess it would look crazy with the EL-GLO dials! (which I'm thinking of putting my name down for, but will maybe wait till after i get the manual dials).
