novak Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Hi Everyone, Was thinking to buy this lump and do 6 speed conversion at some stage. Anyone knows or seen this car it has been on the web for some time now, I know. I could take it for £5k if it is in a good shape..... Please help... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1993-K-TOYOTA-SUPRA-3-0-TWIN-TURBO-AUTO-IMPORT-JDM-LAST-OWNER-14YRS-MODIFIED-/171385062655?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item27e75884ff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hobgoblin Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 It is "very powerful, NOT for the faint hearted", does it for me! Also IMO a rotten colour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
novak Posted July 13, 2014 Author Share Posted July 13, 2014 (edited) Everyone write rubbish....I know its funny....but to the time it is in good shape just by changing spoiler and doing few things around it could be a nice car....I spoke with seller and he sound dodgy.......do not want to waste 3 hours commuting to see a rust bucket....but he said he will send me some pictures of underneath. One thing I did not get he said speedo reads in miles but odometer reading is in kilometers what a joke......Is it possible?

Fitz Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 One thing I did not get he said speedo reads in miles but odometer reading is in kilometers what a bollocks......Is it possible? Mine does this, so is possible. It happened after I had the TSD and converter put in. Not complaining though as it keeps the mileage accurate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the car, I have also noticed that this has been floating around various sites over the past year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going by your location on here, your a it further than 3hours I would of thought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
novak Posted July 14, 2014 Author Share Posted July 14, 2014 It is just a location, which really liked...hahaha I am based in London... I am really lost what to do but when I am calculating how much it would cost me to make it manual it seems that auto TTs are not worth it. I would have to buy it for £3k to make whole process a bargain. Otherwise it is better to stick £10k and buy TT6 straight from the box. But can I buy a good TT6 supra for £10k? PS. My apologies for swearing.....it was Saturday syndrom....hahaha - - - Updated - - - It is just a location, which really liked...hahaha I am based in London...

safcdixon Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 (edited) You could defintley get a tt6 for under 10k, this would be the way to go, converted auto wont be worth as much as a genuine 6speed on resale either, The one you linked above was forsale when my missus was looking for an r33 which turned out to be a total dog, stay well away imo Edited July 14, 2014 by safcdixon (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
novak Posted July 14, 2014 Author Share Posted July 14, 2014 Thanks a lot. I shall wait for the one to come up - seems it will be a long wait, as there is completely nothing on the web : ( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wilson Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Why would anyone put their location as Zimbabwe when they are really here inb the UK? Seems confusing, strange and silly to me As a tidy looking UK spec TT just sold for under 3K does that not make this odd colured one look a tad expensive?

Racist......... as you know I'm a Ghanaian currently living here in your special country (great benefits system!!), maybe he's proud of his homeland. If he is in Zimbabwe then I'm sorry to say that it'll be more than a 3hr drive to view this tub Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

novak Posted July 15, 2014 Author Share Posted July 15, 2014 Ok back to the business, we are going to have a look at this car: http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201407085636126/sort/default/usedcars/radius/1500/make/toyota/model/supra/page/2/onesearchad/used%2Cnearlynew%2Cnew/quicksearch/true/postcode/nw97dw?logcode=p I know it is a bit overpriced but it has Mine's sticker hahaha. Anyone had a pleasure to see this vehicle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRX Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 Did you go look at that one Novak? considering taking a look myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havard Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 One thing I did not get he said speedo reads in miles but odometer reading is in kilometers what a joke......Is it possible? My NA used to clock up like this. The dial had a Mph reference on it but the car actually clocked up per Km. As long as this is noted on MOT, servicing etc, it should not affect the future value of the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
