On the hunt again!

Hi all,

been a member on here since 2006 but not really posted much, just paid up and read all the guides and tech posts etc.

Looking to go for a TT supra around Feb/March 2011 so hope to make it to some local meets. keen to see both the 6spd and auto and how they both drive on the roads.

Used to drive an MR2 Turbo with chargecooler running around 270, great little track toy, used to knock out consistant 13.2/13.3s at the pod.

I miss that car [sAD][/sAD]

sadly had to go as was buying a house and couldnt justify a toy at the time, so sold that and ended up with a MK1 Leon Cupra R, remaped to 280hp.

Enjoyment lasted about a month and now back on the hunt for some Japanese fun.

cheers

Welcome by the looks of your post, you've already been doing some reading on here, so I won't bore you with the whole auto vs manual thing

Good luck finding your car, there's usually plenty of good ones for sale on here.

Welcome to the club Si. Where abouts in East Anglia are you mate? There's a few of us around the Great Yarmouth/Acle area. Both the manual and Auto TT's are great cars, there's not much between them, so just go with whichever fits your budget at the end of the day.

6 speed VVTi's for the win

Thanks guys, im currently looking at the rather tasty stock silver auto in the sale section. £6800.

Dan - Im in Ipswich mate, will keep my eyes peeled for some local meets and pop along. Will have to hide the VAG barge in the corner lol

Welcome

What's your budget?

Thanks Gaz. Hoping to put down £7-8k. Would be looking for a very mint stockish auto i reckon. Not seen a huge amount of decent 6spds for that price, however always on the lookout!

There's a fair few on here who like VAG

was waiting for that lol

In fairness the LCR is an alright car, just lacks any sort of feeback. Day to day its not that interesting to drive tbh,

With a budget of 7-8K i cant see you having any issues at all with finding a nice Auto. When you say stock, do you mean just stock looks, or stock power also? Reason i ask is, for 7-8K you could easily find a nice BPU Auto for that price. Then again, the money saved going for a stock one, you can BPU it yourself

Looks like the car park at ransomes? I'm in Ipswich and a few of us do meet up for a beer,chat, drive etc.

Movistars car ftw..!!

Originally stock body and stock engine etc, however i certainly wouldnt turn down a tidy BPU car with a kit, or one thats already BPU.

Basically whatever i buy im going to tinker with it lets be honest!

@£7-8k you should definitely be holding out for a manual.

as long as it was tidy i would have a 6spd. Have been keeping an eye on pistonheads and on here etc and for a nice manual it usually seems to be around the £9k mark.

No not normally, we arange it between ourself's. Will be sure to let you know when they are.

My supe won't be out again until about april time, so will start doing stuff after that, there is a meet in bury st edmunds that we go to and also a few curry nights with some of the essex members.

If you'd rather have a manual, then i say keep saving. If you have 7-8k already, its not a far stretch to 9k. Spec seeing as its not exactly driving weather, you may as well save a bit more over the winter months and buy a nice Manual in the spring. Just my two pence.

yeah great, as long as people dont mind me tagging along! [GRIN][/GRIN]

thats going to be the plan i think, worth holding out another 2 or 3 months.
