Guest britpilotdave Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 Hi all I have been on the forum a long time ago briefly but let me intro myself again. I'm dave and i currently own an MR2 T-bar N/A. There is an outside chance of a good job coming up and i am weighing up getting a supra or an MR2 Turbo. If i were to get a supra i would want a twin turbo aerotop (please excuse my ignorance with models etc). Now to make the comparison between getting an mr2 tubby or a supra possible i am budgeting a max of £7000. Now i wondered if you guys can tell me what £7k would get me as far as a twin turbo soop? The ones i have seen which look in first class condition are coming in at about £11k ish but i wondered what sort of mileage and condition i could get for £7k? Many thanks in advance Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayman Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 For 7K youre right in the TT auto bracket, you wont afford a TT aerotop for 7K i wouldnt have thought, but you shud be able to get a decent TT auto for 7k! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest britpilotdave Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 Cool. Thanks for the reply....but what about a Manual TT?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stupra Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 I don't think you'll get a good example of an auto TT for £7000, just my opininion though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesmark Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 You might get a High mileage for 7k TT6 that is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest britpilotdave Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 hmm. Well what could i get for £7k? The thing is i can get an mr2 turbo with 280bhp for £5k and mister 2's are loads of fun! I really wanted the grunty power of the supra TT manual Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesmark Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 Shop around for a TT there is plenty stock ones going for around that money, just ask when they come up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mas Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 Had an MR2 GTS turbo before the Supra, and let me ask you to go for a tuby MR2 if you cant afford to have a manual TT Supra, as I think its not worth going for an NA supra when you can have a MR2 turbo for the same price, £7K will bring a very clean MR2 turbo.

CJ Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 It is unlikely you will be able to find a TT 6 speed for 7k. Not imposible, but unlikely. You will be able to find a decent TT auto for that money if you shop around and dont just take the first high mileage example that comes along. As an example, i have just bought a superb looking stock black auto TT with just 59k km's on the clock and that will probably be selling for less than 7k - so they are out there.

Guest britpilotdave Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 has anyone any idea on how much it would cost to change the gearbox from an auto to a manual? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 has anyone any idea on how much it would cost to change the gearbox from an auto to a manual? It is silly money mate - probably 5k or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest britpilotdave Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 EEK!! Its looking like the Mister 2 turbo at the moment. What about a single turbo supra? What would £7k get me AND what sort of BHP does a single turbo have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest britpilotdave Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 OUCH! this is painful CJ! It really is looking like a mister 2 turbo then. Just out of interest what the stock BHP for a supra single turbo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osso Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 The supra never came with a stock single turbo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 OUCH! this is painful CJ! It really is looking like a mister 2 turbo then. Just out of interest what the stock BHP for a supra single turbo? There are no stock single turbo supras. the stock version were NA (normally aspirated) or TT (Twin turbo). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazboy Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 IMO the MR2T is a no-brainer- you'd get a storming late model car ina desireable colour, probably with some tasteful mods too. There is a genuine TRD2000GT for sale on PH for £7999- make the guy an offer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CardiffSupra Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 Single Turbo Supras are 500bhp+++ Id say with 7k you might get good TT auto if someone is looking for a quick sale. The Auto box is very good mate, I'v never wanted an auto but im very very happy with mine. Go test drive one then make your mind up. Good luck fella.

matt k Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 has anyone any idea on how much it would cost to change the gearbox from an auto to a manual? Go drive both a 6 speed manual & an auto. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 There are quite a few non turbo 6 speed na's around at the moment for £5-£5.5K and as you are coming from a NA MR2 they are worth a test drive IMO.........as are the auto TT's....no harm in checking them out.........
