SupraTT2004 Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 this might sound a dumb question but is there any disadvantages of getting VVTi model supra rather than the earlier types. like you cant have some mods on the VVTi but you can on the earlier models etc. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 I think there are some complications if your going for big power, well there used to be anyway! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Terry S Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 The VVTi absolutely rocks. IMHO it is awesome. The management system is more tricky but I have that sussed now too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 VVTi's use different equipment sometimes...but they are no more difficult or expensive to tune. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SupraTT2004 Posted January 20, 2005 Author Share Posted January 20, 2005 I am going to look at one over the weekend, so we will have to see what it is like. but you never know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Terry S Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 Dont know what your budget is like, but Chris ( TRD3000GT above) is selling a very nice 6 speed I believe. The 6 Speed VVTi is the most sort after Supra, so the chances are they will hold there money well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Terry S Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 I am surprised it's not sold as a very similar speced one went for £21k before Christmas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraTT2004 Posted January 20, 2005 Author Share Posted January 20, 2005 what sort of price should I be looking at to pay for a 1999 VVTi standard supra tt manual? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Terry S Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 Dependant on Mileage between 18-20k IMO. They seem the most sort after cars in Japan, and it reflects here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraTT2004 Posted January 20, 2005 Author Share Posted January 20, 2005 say 35K miles. only because i have seen one that i might be interested in but its about 13K, which I thought was a bit cheap for that year etc. but going to take a look anyways.

Guest Terry S Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 That sounds excellent, assuming it's a manual. They may not know what they have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraTT2004 Posted January 20, 2005 Author Share Posted January 20, 2005 well thats what he said anways. its completely standard, think the alloys are different but is a 1999 red manual, and he said it has been well look after and its immaculate. he also said he just wants to get rid of it off his drive as he just brought a brand new Porsche 911. so we will see at the weekend. its worth a look.

TRD3000GT Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 If you can find one, Which I strongly doubt You will be looking at 20K. They cant be bought in anymore and Mine for 20K with the low miles and all the modifications is a good price. Hell the paint job is 6 months old and nearly 4 K so 1/4 the price of the car!. If anyone is interested come and have a look at her. Brand new rims and tyres as well so she really is PRISTEEN. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
