asad Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 hey there guys i am asad, from dhaka bangladesh. i have come across this mint 94 supra twin turbo 6 speed manual with 36000miles, i need to know a few things before purchasing as i am not use to supras and there are only few around, this being the only manual tt hence the word rare! the car has been single owner since new and was a direct import from japan, the owner was an elderly gentleman so the car has never been thrased or abused. i went and drove the car its phenomenally fast and stops brilliantly too, only query is the rear diff light kept coming on as i drove it and its very firm and jerky like its always ready to pounce. i just need to know what is that light and if this jerky tightness is normal. it keeps the powerband alive at all times it seems. it probably has LSD which is why it barely spins. i will try upload a pic of the engine bay the mint stock low miler 2JZ-GTE. pls tell me what to expect when driving one of these and can i use it everyday? also fuel cons? reliability, service costs? i dont intend to use it daily but i may just get addicted it seems even though i have 9 other cars! let me know asap please, need to make up mind. regards asm.

flukey-lukey Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Welcome, is there any way you can certify the cars milage? Reason I ask is because I've seen supras with more than double the milage of that one and their engine bays are soooo much cleaner. It may be different over there with dust/sand or whatever..? Any more pictures of it? Whats the asking price? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asad Posted February 3, 2009 Author Share Posted February 3, 2009 the car is being started and driven for about a km or 2 around the block every 2 days for the last few months, the owner is ill and hasnt been able to clean her up in the last 4 months, hence the dust. the odo reads 59k kms.

asad Posted February 3, 2009 Author Share Posted February 3, 2009 asking price wont appeal to you all there, our country prices are weird, we buy 94 shoguns for 12000GBP, so... this i may have to pay 14000 pounds in your currency!! also a C200 class mercedes is 80k gbp so taxes are really high!!

flukey-lukey Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Wow, crazy prices Well, if its as rare as you say then I think if you're happy with the overall condition etc then go for it Engine bay looks totally stock, so no problems with having it for a daily driver. As for the jerking I'm not sure. Also I've never seen a supra with a 'diff warning' light? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaz1 Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 if you mean the traction control light is coming on, at least you know the 2nd turbo is ok:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asad Posted February 4, 2009 Author Share Posted February 4, 2009 the light flashing is a cont slip or something like that light located on extreme right of dash board in this rhd car. Car has no dents or repaint touch ups, been serviced regularly and taken on long road trips. My only query now stands is the gearshift supposed to be this tight and jerky? When accelerating, it spins wheels in from 1st to 2nd and 3rd. Comes with 2 sets of wheels, a carton of mobil 1s and some filters and stuff. I think i'll go for it. By the way we have a 08 lotus exige s too. Will post pics asap. Have only video of supra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 it probably has LSD All 6sp TT Supras have LSD. Good luck with the car! Edit to add... Standard airbox & BOV - that's a good indicator that the car hasn't been abused by an idiot owner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorin Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 the light flashing is a cont slip or something like Slip Cont.? Turn off traction control and try again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl_S Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Hey asad! Wheelspin: Is it that you may not be used to the power of the awesome Supra TT, what are the road surfaces like that you drive on? That car looks like it is yours. Buy it dude!

asad Posted February 6, 2009 Author Share Posted February 6, 2009 hello proud mk4 owners!! just writing in to tell you all that i have paid a deposit on the supra tt 6sp!!! should be getting her home the following week. uploading a pic of the car from the rear. it has many things which i will be removing to make it back to stock so dont get shocked seeing it! the previous owner an elderly gentleman had done it up in his own way, i will be getting it back to shape asap. only thing worrying me is i hope i dont end up with much to do to it mechanically. she runs like a dream though and had been carefully maintained by the prev owner. i will be removing the additional exhaust he fitted and all the stickers and decals other than OE. but one thing he did that i cannot change is he put in a sunroof . i hope that doesnt affect anything else in the car. it has 59k kms on it.

adnanshah247 Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 hey mate, my parents are from pakistan so i been there a few times and last year bumped into a supra owner! was pretty shocked at first 'A SUPRA IN PAKISTAN WOW!'. He though was having a few fueling issues. the petrol there is so dirty and filled up with so much junk (dilluted with water etc.) that its pathetic getting good quality juice in and getting any good performance. dont you think you may have the same problem in bangladesh?

asad Posted February 6, 2009 Author Share Posted February 6, 2009 we do have bad juice problems here too but thats only in certain filling stations in the outskirts of the city and other parts of the country, where we fill from and from where this car has been filling from is the best army operated fuelling stations in the country and absolutely no bad gas ever goes in these cars, we have other high performance 997 turbos and sl65 amgs in our city too which use few specific stations to fill up from!

Terminator Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Hi and welcome to MKIV TT ownership. I have seen a Red TT with a sun roof over here in the UK, I don't think I have seen another. The biggest problem will be if the roof leaks, as far shell stability is concerned it should be fine. As you may not be certain what quality of fuel has been used in the past, I would suggest filling up with goof fuel then running the tank low, with out pushing the car too hard, then filling up with the best you can get. Take out the two main EFI fuses for ten minutes to reset the ECU. When you replace the fuses and run the car it will "learn" the fuel and adjust the ECU over 50 miles or so. The car may be a littel rough at first but this should soon go away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveR Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 I've never seen one with Twin tail pipe's. Someone else on here did that recently. Welcome asad. Get along to a meet sometimes soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 Welcome to the forum. That certainly is a rare Supra you have there, I doubt there's another in the world with a sunroof and twin tail pipes! Please get some more pics posted up as soon as possible, i'm intrigued about the sunroof installation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
med Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 really like those twin tailpipes, looks very smart! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
