MR.T Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 hello, im sellin my nissan s14 to buy a new car, the money i get from the s14 will be added to my savings for the car i want to get. im lookin at supra tt, skyline r33 gts-t and rx7s. i can buy a liner now for 6k from some ome i know, and im very tempted to get it, but i would like a supra the most cos they seem very very quick and they look really nice. can i get a manual supra tt for 7.5/8k or under? is there anything i need to know about supra's? i wanted to spead 6/7k on the other cars but might be able to save that little bit longer for the sup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeordieSteve Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 Never driven a S14 auto but the Supra auto box tends to be VERY good. Give them both a try... I'm sure there's a few down in Southend that'll take you out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerry Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 Hi Mr.T.. Welcome to the club... Just a thought whilst you are new, hope you don't mind me saying, there is already two MrT's on here already, if you fancied a different name it may avoid confusion in the future. Up to you obviously, just trying to help ! Cheers Mr G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suprz_rz Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 Watch that you quote is not for a mk3 supra. Elephant and a few other online insurance ppl have the mk3 version showing up as a supra twin turbo. If you check the engine cc, you will see it is not the 2997 that the mk4 is it shows the 2970 that the mk3 is. Beware of stupidly cheap quotes like that. If you had to claim, they would not pay out.

MR.T Posted February 10, 2006 Author Share Posted February 10, 2006 was also thinkin of a mk2 mr2 t-bar turbo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MR.T Posted February 10, 2006 Author Share Posted February 10, 2006 and by the way are these supra tt's quick then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaz1 Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 :rlol: err yeah there quick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulmann Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 The MR2 tubby rev3 is a very very quick car and would match if not beat a Supra tt off the lights. But it loses to the Supra in sooo many other ways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MR.T Posted February 10, 2006 Author Share Posted February 10, 2006 people on here have said 0-60 is the supra weak point, but people are also saying 0-60 of there car is 4/4.5/4.9 seconds to 60? i thought them kind of 0-60's are good? if a mr2 did 60 in 5.1 and supra in 5.1'ish then surely there aint much in it till the higher speeds?

Tom Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 Seriously 0-60 is pointless the only figure i'd be looking at is the 1/4 mile, in real terms nothing else really matters unless there was a 30-130 figure of course. But are you seriously going to buy a car on just on the case of it's 0-60?? if so look at something else like an evo or gtr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MR.T Posted February 10, 2006 Author Share Posted February 10, 2006 well not really as i guess i'll never do any standing starts in it, apart from if i went to santa pod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MR.T Posted February 10, 2006 Author Share Posted February 10, 2006 are supra reliable? strong engines, gear boxs, electrics? and when something goes wrong are they very costly to repair? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulmann Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 yes yes yes yes and yes. (my opinion. others may differ!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
