wanting a drive in a supra :S

hi guys i am new to the forum i am most probably going to buy a supra in december time i have always loved them and i am at the age now where i can insure one

the only problem being i have my much beloved mini cooper s 05 plate which i have spent a lot of hard earned cash on which is running 248bhp but most of the money has gone on suspension parts and colour coding exterior etc. to make the most money from my car i am going to have to put it back to standard and sell the performance parts etc but before i do that i need to go out in a supra i have never actually been in one so i need this to make the decision to start breaking the car as i really am attached to my mini.

so just wondering if anybody would be kind enough to take me for a quick spin i would pay the petrol you use etc. i live in essex so anyone kind enough around this area would be very very much appreciated.

i would go have a look at one thats for sale but i wont have the money until december so i dont want to waste the sales persons time if you get me

many thanks leon

What type of Supra you looking for, no good going for a ride in a TT if you are looking at NA's

whereabouts in essex are you from?

Sorry I should have said which supra I was looking at I was looking at getting a manual tt and somewhere down the line I want to go single if gI can find one I will buy a single supra in December but there isn't too many floating around. I live in colchester aswel

There have been several singles for sale lately, still some great cars on here now for sale, I would be happy to take you out on mine in a couple of weeks if you can get to Purfleet, or maybe come over to the bluewater meet and get a look at a few cars

BIG step from 200BHP mini to a 600BHP RWD single supra, I would get a ride in a BPU car and see what you think

i'd be happy to take you out for a spin mate in a couple of weeks, got a slipping clutch atm but it should be sorted soon

I have an almost new stock clutch coming out of my car early next week if you need a clutch for a good price?

Thanks for the offer mate but unfortunately i'm still on the 5 speed box

His mini will be quicker than any NA!!!

I like the NA manual, great start to Supra ownership

Whats your opinion on an NA Auto? Poverty model?

As good as the auto box is I find the NA engine does not mate well with the auto gearbox, makes it feel very sluggish

Sure, should be out of the garage in 2 weeks, will be around 600 bhp all being well

Welcome Miniboy. May be good to try and get a spin in a few different types of Supra to match your driving style and expectations. I had a NA 5 speed and loved it. I now have a TT and don't really enjoy it as much as the NA. I could throw the NA about and always feel in control. The TT will bite you if you are not careful.
