brady-jza80 Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 (edited) Hi all....I've been a lover of the supra for a long time but because of The high cost of having the supra in ireland (road tax €1500 for the year) i could only stick to the 2 litres i.e silvia's and evo's....bought a french blue evo 7 two years ago but on the way home someone crashed into me and wrote off the car thought that was the end of my sports car days until recently i spotted a 93 aerotop supra in northern ireland...a spotless black supra with a fresh mot but the engine was gone and a ridox kit brand new in box that was bought from knightracer.....so i struck a deal with him and got the car...so I've recently bought a 93 soarer to use as a donor even though i feel guilty cause soon there will be no soarers left!! I have to register the car on irish plates!! Just wondering could anybody tell me what automatic supra's perform like cause driving the auto soarer it didn't quite feel like 280 bhp (even though it was laid up for a while and did seem to feel quicker the more i drove it) and also is there a difference between the n/a auto box and tt auto box cause I'm worried the n/a auto might not withstand the tt power like how the w58 cant? And could the n/a exhaust be used for awhile until i source nice a exhaust system? Sorry for such a long post and its good to finally be on here Edited June 26, 2015 by brady-jza80 (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trebor69 Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 Hi brady- I have a 1jz in my Supra and I'm quite impressed (over the N/A that I removed) bare in mind that you can always up the power to suit your needs by going single etc. I am using the N/A exhaust from the second cat backwards and it's fine. Apparently the soarer tt auto box is the same as the supra N/A auto box however the supra box has a superior valve body. Have a look at the section on here that David P has written all about gearboxes. I'm very happy to be auto, its an excellent box. Welcome to the club.

brady-jza80 Posted November 23, 2014 Author Share Posted November 23, 2014 Haha thanks guys....ya 640 was cheap alright especially for such a clean car with an mot only 2 months old but with the plates being €1300 that'll bring the price fairly up to scratch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
