The Raven Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Im really starting to get annoyed by the lack of power in my N/A now. The question is do i sell and get a TT or just shut up and keep my aero. I would like to dump a TT into it and get the best of both worlds. However there is no way im going to be able to save the 2.5k to do it with hoildays, building and babies. I figure i could get around 4.5ish for mine then stick a grand towards a TT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evinX Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Man just be happy with what you got, with supes and doing them up you always want moreeeee, look at it my way, petrol is high, cant use the speed on the roads so stick with a na, still got the look and the na engine is more reliable than a tt engine...FACT:D (that makes me feel so much better sometimes lol) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bradleyh_15 Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 agreed you have made your car the way you want it! if you buy a tt you will have to do all the visual things again! how much did that all set you back? probably all in all 2.5k if not more!?

Brazil Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 I've had my Sup for 1 month, Stage one of my ownership was 400bhp is perfect! Good practical car still... Stage 2 after 2 weeks of ownership ok a solid BPU 440bhp that would be sweet, Stage 3 1 month of ownership got to go Single but first I will give it a super car interior and a full service....! lol.... Stage 4 is where I am at the mo thinking if 550bhp is enough maybe 700bhp would be better... I don't think I would want anymore..! hahaha I can see how ppl fall in the trap...! lol I'm wanting to do all the mechanical work myself under supervision from a pro, that is how I am going to excuse all the dosh going into it as I will be learning something new at the same time..

The Raven Posted May 21, 2010 Author Share Posted May 21, 2010 I would feel bad taking anything from the club less than face value, hell even when people give me things i feel the need to buy them beers or something. Jody I looked at the 1jz and was well up for it until i found out that it was impossible to make it work with the supra auto, meaning i would need a 5 speed which then pushed it back up to the 2.5k mark.

Homer Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 As your current car has most of the hard work done to it already it's one of the rare times that a TT swap makes more sense. They're easy enough to drop in, but finding one and all the associated bits is becoming the hard part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoyBoy7 Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Mate Keep it . Like Homer said they are becoming hard to find . So just start saving and maybe by the time you have the cash Keron and co will have some engines for us. Im sitting( with the cash) here waiting for keron to find a few TT's so mate there is no rush . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abz Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Once you get the TT lump in, I suggest you go out in a single & I'll wait for a new thread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supra Gaz Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Stick to what you have mate, I was going through the same thing as you recently, it's not just the way the car looks, you know it now, it's strengths and flaws, if you get a boggo tt it will look pants and you may pick up a real nightmare mechanically. I'm saving up and I know when it's all done, it will be epic. But if you do get rid of yours, let me buy your bonnet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
