pmsl!

is it possible to drift in an auto n/a? this vid on youtube claims it is.. but is it really an autobox? http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=KeNZkHkYGhI

they look real nice!!

lmfao!! thats mint!

Welcome dont worry with the dumb questions Im new too and I just asked loads, there a great group and am sure that you will get all the help / support ya need mate!

aw gutted, there awesome cars. very drifty! what shell did it have on it if it was a 200sx? was it silvia shape or uk shape?

you interested in px?? and cash your way??

im in love, wonder how much cash a kidney brings these days on the black market.. or my passport?? free bump and good luck with the sale.. stunning motor!!

i know what my next purchase will be!!!

things like this annoy me, if the police want to improve there public relations they should get off there arses and do more to actually stop crime and follow up theft's. rather than just simply give out crime numbers and blame everything on a lack of funding! ps, I think a copcar like that just promotes driving fast, not a reduction in speed. nothing says "we want you to go slow" like a cap in a supercar does!! .. hmm

both very valid points, I think the main things I can take away from this thread are that although the N/a Auto isnt by any means the fastest supra out there, its certainly not going to be the slowest car on the road and by no means as slow as I am worried about. Thanks for the re assurance guys!

well, I will have a look at the car, and see what I think. Its a good starting point, and although it may only be around 200 or so HP thats a fair bit more than my current car and a good starting point for what will be essentially my first jap roller! As I mentioned, and was also stated above, im sure.. Like everyone else at some point in the future I will have my heart set on the tt, but unfortunately at the moment its out of my pricerange so ya make the most of what you can afford i guess! given im goin from a 1.6 110hp to a 3.0 200+hp, AND jap aswell, im sure I will be happy for a while what ever model I end up with Im glad to hear from peep's though who have had or own an automatic, as I really am venturing into the unknown with them and as I said above I was concerned that I was going to end up in a big, heavy barge with no acceleration.. But, from what a number of topics, and various peep's on here have said.. that shouldnt be the case for the most part!

HaHa, no worries. Like you say general question has been covered and im happy with the answers.. besides, i intend being around for some time on this forum so i best start readin up on this stuff.. something tells me im gonna find it usefull at some point

ok.. im just gettin confused now! haha

even better answer Snake! I like!!!!!

Brilliant advice mate, exactly what I was after.. direct answers!! I think if i do end up getting this n/a auto im probably best enjoying it for a while perhaps a year or two then look at upgrading to the TT Glad to hear that although its naturally aspirated AND auto, I still wont have all these "boomboomboom chav'd up saxo" boy racer sorts making me feel a bit silly in a supra!! And I dont intend using the lights as launch lights all the time, just occasionally if i get a twitch in my right foot!! I agree, that an owners club is the perfect place to start any quest for parts, so I am very happy i bought the membership as already it has proven to be a wise investment indeed!! well, Im due to go have a look this weekend, so I will let you guys know if i get it and also pop a few pictures up.. I think the car has been a past member of these forums at some point already so I will definately be re uniting the two if I do get it! Thanks for the good support and advice guys! really apreciate your time on this!

Well at the moment im in a 1.6 vauxhall lol!! But, what I mean is i dont want to get embarassed by havin cracking looking supra that gets left behind all the time at lights/motorways etc cos you know for a fact that the typical boy racer sorts are going to give it a go, and its not a case of i want to be racing everywhere but it would [i imagine] get a little disheartning if i was being left at the lights etc a lot of the time, considering i was sat in a 3ltr! thats one of my big concerns, but im sure its just an un necessary worry in most everyday situations! I didnt realise that the gearbox etc were in that price bracket to be honest, i had been told that they could be up to around £1500 to replace, which is one of the main reaosns i thought the best place to ask and get a straight forward answer was here! Its re assuring to know that there within the average persons "affordable" price range! On another note, and just a passing curiosity, are the n/a 3ltr auto's easy to turbo at a later date?? or is this even possible?? just thinking ahead if the option ever arose thats all! again, sorry if I sound like a complete Noob with regard the supra and the auto box, in many respects its probably fair to say I am, although I do love my cars and have ownd a few other fun cars, although nothing on this sort os size or this level of fun before. again, thanks for the advice.. keep it coming guys

Thats really good information and advice guys, I guess the main thing I am worried about is that I will be laying a lot of cash out and venturing into the unknown in as much as I aint ever had an auto before. my main worry was that although its a 3ltr, it would be like a barge and slow as hell on acceleration etc.. i am due to go look at this car over the next few days so if its any good i will buy it i think, having read the links that Merckx posted about the auto gearbox, its fair to say that a lot of people think there still an outstanding car performance wise, even if its n/a or tt .. and cheers for the advice Chris Wilson, i would like to maybe take it out for the odd blast here and there so its re assuring to know that the auto N/A still perform with reasonable performance! I will be using this car as my everyday car however aswell, but would like to have the power there, incase i do decide to plant my right foot! would I be correct in assuming then that all in all the automatic gearbox's are reasonably reliable, like i said the other area of concern i had was that at just under 100k it may be showing wear and that if this was the case it would be bloody expensive to get fixed! thanks for the advice, and keep it coming!!

any new on if these are compatable with auto's too?

firstly, hey guys. I have just signed up havin decided a Supra is the way forward for me. The question I have is really related to a specific car I have my eye on at the moment, Its a 1994 supra 3ltr N/A Automatic. what i am hoping you guys can help me with is a bit of general advice regarding this model, the things that are concerning me is what sort of performance I am likely to expect from the automatic, I have been told that they are reasonably fast, however I have never owned an automatic before so I am not sure what to expect from the car. I was hoping a few of you Supra veterans could help me out and give me a little bit of info about the performance aspect of this particular model. Also, the car is a little shy of 100k miles, are there any particular points and areas I should be looking into for wear and tear, and what are automatic gearbox's like for reliabilty etc.. Sorry if these questions have been repeated elsewhere, i did have a little bit of a search but couldnt find anything that was specific to my query [still getting used to the site!] Anyways, its good to be here and I have just bought my membership, Im hopin with a bit of advice from the guys in the know I can make sure I pick up a quality Supra and also learn a bit more about things to look out for when Im buying my motor thanks for you time and hope you can help
