Guest Kev Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 Hi al, Ive only been a member on here for less than a week now. Ive saved up the cash for my 1st supra. Ive been looking and seen a few I like, but Im not sure whether to get a n/a or a tt. does the twin turbo tend to have any problems with it generally. also i'll prob be get a j-spec manual. I know i'll prob have alot more fun in the tt. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BURT Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 defo go for the tt and then when you get bored you can go BPU( basic performance upgrade) giving you around the 400 bhp mark. then when you get board again you can go single turbo ! loads of serious fun, not to mention its a supercar killer.... "A SUPRA WITHOUT TURBOS IS LIKE A MAN WITHOUT TESTICALLS" it wasnt me who said that i just used the phrase lol:hide: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slugger1 Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 I've had mine for 3 years and not had any problems at all. In fact it's just passed it's mot for the 3rd year running without having to get anything fixed. All I've had to pay out for is a set of front brake pads which cost me about 75 quid (including labour). Get a TT you won't regret it!!

Tom S Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 Kev, search button is your friend, search under that criteria, drive both then decode for yourself, people drive what they like, i know TT drivers who love their car and some who prefer their N/A, its all about choice and what is right for you. Do not let any body decide for you. You decide what YOU want, after trying both, check insurance fully and then take the plunge! tom BTW, before it gets said else where i am a NA driver!!

Tom S Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 There are plenty of traders on here to keep you going in spare parts! Also, look in the for sale section as some one is always selling something, its a great club and we all get on well, even with the likes of Burt, and saying that where is Bill Prawn, he normally says something by now!

Harps Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 Hey all, another n00b here. Didn't have the bottle to start me own thread I've been looking around for an aero top for a while now, I'm sure it'll be powerful enough for me, though I'm not 100% sure if I want to go auto - but they look so good with the top's off! Anyway, missed out on one at the weekend, having a look at a couple of others this weekend - anything I should particularly look out for when checking em over? One of the one's I'm looking at looks lovely, but at almost £7k with 72000 miles on the clock, is that a bit pricey? Cheers all!

cookci Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 Reckon youve made up my mind for me now... gonna get my wheel's done in black... doesnt look cheep at all imo cheers guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conrad Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 Kev, As already said mate don't let anybody else decide for you on whether to go for a TT or NA, test drive both then decide. Although, I too had reservations over the TT due to reliability but these were toally unfounded. The TT is definitely one of the most reliable supercars money can buy and you really shouldn't worry about things going wrong. If the car has been looked after (as with all cars) then it'll be perfectly reliable. I test drove both the NA and TT and I'm glad to say I went with the TT, if you have the purchase budget for the TT then you should seriously consider that. Harps, That seems a tad pricey for an NA Aerotop (Not TT) if that's what you're on about. As for the Auto concern then i'm afraid all Aerotops are Auto, well RHD ones anyway.

Harps Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 Conalex, yep it is an NA Aerotop, so cheers for that I'll have to see if I can bargain with him (assuming its a good car of course!). No worries that I can only get auto aerotops, its one of those trade-offs I guess. I have tested a manual NA Supra, but not an auto, so I'm hoping for the best when I do! BTW, I used that search thing and found http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=23259 top post Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 Conalex is spot on The reliability on both models is superb, especially when compared to other cars with this level of power. The NA is uber reliable, take a look at the tech section - there's almost never an NA owner posting there with problems. If you're power hungry then the NA isn't the best choice, short of a single turbo conversion (£4k+) you can only get an extra 20-30 bhp. TT's on the other hand can easily reach 400bhp with only £800ish of mods. The TT's cost about the same to run day-to-day, but when things go wrong they can be very expensive to fix. If you're looking at a modded one you really want to take someone who knows their Supra's with you, I'm sure a club member local to you would be able to help. Have a look in the Cars for Sale section, lots of nice motors there - most of which will have been well cared for by an enthusiast! Good luck with your searches Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
