BFC Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Alright! I've talked about wanting a supra since i was 18, and now i'm 24 so i've decided this year is the year to get one! i've got 7 years no claims so hopefully insurance won't be too much! and i'll be happy with a none turbo 5 speed! if i could get a aerotop i'd be happy too! i'm located in Jarrow Tyne and Wear (not far from newcastle and sunderland) and thought it's probably worth coming on here to find out abit more information about supra's before i eventually buy one! do many of you guys use these as daily drivers? any advice you could give me when looking for a supra? (i've read the what to look out for guide) which company is the best for insurance too? this is the only thing that will be holding me up getting one!!! and lastly are many of you local to newcastle? i see a white supra kicking about Jarrow but thats about it see a red one always parked in a multi story car park next to dance city and another red one at the RVI but thats about it! Cheers! Bobby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra joe Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Welcome bobby, few local members on here and local meets. Ps... You won't get a 5 speed aerotop unless it's been converted, they only came in auto. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L18msy Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Welcome to the club, I used to use my supra daily and had no issues at all, it never let me down. Having to sell it now as i need extra seats for little ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Welcome to the club mate! We try to have smaller 'catch up' meets during the week every Wednesday at the Team Valley retail world and outside of that occassionally sort out some bigger one-off meetings and/or drives. Now the weather is getting a bit better and nights lighter, I'm sure there'll be some stuff organised - keep an eye on the North east section. I use my NA as a daily driver and its only failed me once in 4 years when the water pump went - just ware and tear on a 20 yr old car now though.

BFC Posted April 23, 2013 Author Share Posted April 23, 2013 i'm hoping for a manual NA for insurance purposes like but that TT Aerotop would be a dream! Stevo is it just a supra meet or one of the secta meets? i'm driving a shed at the moment but i wouldn't mind popping up to see all the supras like! it's my dream car although i've never actually been in one :/ i'm praying to god i like driving one the cockpit is different from anything i've drove before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having to sell it now as i need extra seats for little ones. i noticed yours on gumtree last night, i would have bought it although i'm only half way through saving for one sadly i'm hoping about mid summer i can get one whats your NA like on fuel? i'm not expecting any miracles but just wondering what MPG you get around the doors?

L18msy Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 It is actually not bad if you are pottering about, it is when you start getting heavy with the loud pedal it goes down a fair bit. Don't know exactly what the mpg is as it is something that doesn't bother me but i would say roughly 20 mpg. But who cares when they look so good.

Stevo Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Yeah, as Marc says, its just Supras and only about 3 cars and a bit of a natter at the minute on a Wednesday. I'm in an NA and the others are usually TTs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
