Guest Joey A Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 Hey guys Thought I would introduce myself, I'm 20 and from aberdeenshire and love motorbikes! I wasn't much of a car guy before but after getting a car at 16 im growing quite fond of them. I always loved the supra when i was younger and looking at some insurance quotes I'm looking at getting one. I have my eyes on this supra, and will be getting it soon hopefully. What you lot think about it?

michael Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 Welcome aboard. The silver UK looks nice enough, some potential for extra costs from things like the turbos and the intercooler and other bits that generally wear out on these cars but if all this checks out it seems reasonable enough. You'll find similar cars often come up for more and less, each needs to be looked at in detail really before you can decide if it's worth the money. Chances are someone here will know this car and be able to tell you something about it soon. Good luck with your search. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Joey A Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 Cheers for the reply, Yeah i heard that theres a chance the turbos might need to replaced on a higher milage car. How much would I be looking at for this roughly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scotty71 Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 Nice that and with the History etc etc looks very nice... simular to my j spec only difference of interior and my Bomex front bumper... Price reflects it being a dealer and UK spec Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Joey A Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 Small question guys, regarding the exhaust system. Whats the UK exhaust like for noise? Is it quite? Also if it was quite what would be the best way to get a good noise without effecting the engine and making it over boost. I thought Just a cat back would be fine.

Cheers It's so quiet that you can sneak up behind people and they don't know you are there when standard. A UK won't over boost like a J-Spec would, just decat and an exhaust on or go cat back only and you shouldn't have to worry. The drop in backpressure may highlight issues with the turbo seals on some older cars though. You're already starting to mod... it's inevitable... invest in one that someone else has already lost all that money on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Joey A Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 Quick update guys, that silver supra is a no go from me the salesman really put me off it saying it has blue smoke only at start up but it's fine. Giving loads of info on the car but in to much detail and really trying far to hard to get a sale and keeping going on about it being a 17 year old car so it's not perfect, and to top it off he wanted me to pay cash or check made out to him and not the two "dealers" it's adviertised at. Seemed abit fishy to me. Oh well the search continues.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Joey A Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 Hey, that's supra is very nice but I wanted to buy a standard car rather than one which has already be modified, also I would need to sell my current car if I was buying private.

JamieP Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 Welcome Joey, Lots of supras get a little blue smoke on start up, its the valve stem seals, nothing to worry about tbh, would not put me off buying a car as long as everything else is up and together, no smoke on boost etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Joey A Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 The guy with the silver supra I was first interested in said to me he couldn't change on the price as its already low and he has another offer from someone in Germany. Two weeks later and he has dropped the price by £600.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 I'm getting a lot of interest in mine at the moment but it's still for sale until someone comes and takes it away in exchange for some money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
