Cheers!, I was at santa pod yesterday.

 

Got a good view and video of the white supra breaking down :(.

auto is better as a TT in my view unless you get a hi stall , as I have a TT and then went single , also a bpu auto was beating 500 -600 bhp 1/4 miles at suprapod last year

He sounds like an absolute dude ;)

 

I have said car and to be honest its all in the launch, after being on the forum for a few years I feel that the people who have owned a variety of supra set ups say that at BPU a Auto supra is best but a single should be 6-speed Manual

I think a 6 speed manual single is out of my budget. Also I can only find one for sale on auto-trader that's been on there for a while.

The 6 speed box would you be very expensive when it goes BOOM!

I was thinking of getting an auto with flappy paddle mod.

Have yet to ever here 6speed go boom. There savage strong gearboxes. Once there serviced with proper atf shouldn be any issues.

Having owned literally every option (N/A, TT, BPU, Single, Auto, 5 Speed, 6 Speed, Hardtop, Aerotop), I fondly remember the sweet spot.............6 Speed, BPU, Aerotop running around 420bhp. However, the autobox in the Supra is sublime and I would never knock it, still my favorite auto box to date for smoothness(and I have a 2018 Audi S-tronic box in my current daily)

Have to agree 6speed bpu 1.2bar gorgeous sweet spot it's way supra should have came of assembly line.

One on auto trader look OK. Hybrid turbos?

Personally, I wouldn't touch a Supra running nitrous, especially a 150 shot on a stock engine, only time it wouldn't raise a red flag is on a big and built single using it for pre-spool.

 

Plus that car has cheap tires, don't care how nice the car is, I never touch a car with cheap tires as they are essentially cutting costs on a safety aspect and makes you think where else have they cut corners and used budget parts.

 

It's relatively cheap and easy to get 420hp out of the engine so I wouldn't rule out cars with standard engines, you'll just have to budget around £1500 to go BPU.

I've never heard of one blowing up, but plenty of them are needing rebuilds now because of poor changes, whining, and crunching going into gears. Arnout/Suprasport is constantly getting interest from those wanting box rebuilds.
