Big Supes

What do you guys think of this NA? http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/toyota/supra/toyota-supra-1994-3-0/1762679 I've requested more pictures, but in the meantime... what would you pay for it? Cheers.

Much better.

Sounds like the best way to gauge the resale value Abz. Here's hoping the car is still for sale now...

That's encouraging to hear. Kinda want this shell over being limited to what's out there in the factory TT market.

Ahh, that's what I was thinking. I have seen NA-T's up for sale and asking big money, but wasn't sure if they were actually achieving it. The good ole search button police! I consider myself busted. All joking aside, I have used the search button numerous times in researching what the conversion entails. I just wanted a relevant answer to today's market regarding reselling.

I'm currently thinking about buying an SZ and transplanting the TT lump and gearbox in, but I have a couple of questions... Firstly, how are SZ TT's regarded in terms of resale? Personally, I wouldn't careless if it was me buying (if the car was solid), but I know in certain car communities there's an air of: "Well, it isn't a genuine factory model therefore it's not worth the money.". I have seen an SZ and frankly, it's fucking lush. It's the right colour, has been garaged it's entire life in the UK, has tasteful mods and the body doesn't have a blemish on it. Needless to say, it would be worth more to me once converted than forking out 10k for a factory TT that's in worse condition. And, lastly: What sort of money do high grade NA's go for, nowadays? Cheers!

Don't agree. Corrosion build up on rotor arms & points, as well as spark plugs fail more often than HT leads.... ... But, hey... I didn't realise this was a competition. I was merely offering 'advice'.

Sounds like your ignition system could do with some TLC. Clean dizzy - clean & re-gap spark plugs - assess HT leads.

Halo will go down with the classics that shaped FPS's as we know them. No doubt. The Division looks insane. Love how you can have a friend assisting if they log in with a tablet. I think Drive Club looks like a promising new (and much needed) driving franchise for PS. It's no Forza, but will cushion the blow for Xbox peeps who are jumping ship.

Behave. I would take "Halo: Combat Evolved" on the original Xbox over Killzone II. Straight up. You've also heard of Gears of War, right? Granted it's third person, but for a shooter it annihilates BoreZone. Go back to dreaming!

I thought the same to be honest, but it will definitely polish up nicely at 1080p.

For those who enjoy a good FPS, I think it's going to be hard to ignore. Don't mind me mate. I'm just hungry and bored whilst waiting for my Domino's to be delivered. I've done a fair bit of research on the PS4 and I haven't been all that impressed by the lack of launch exclusives and their main titles. Killzone looks promising, but I remember buying into the hype that was Killzone 2. Jesus that game sucked.

I've got a load of mates on Xbox and they're all going with the XB1. I don't see your point. "Marketplace" You completely missed the point I was making. My PS3 has a lot of Sony technology in it, also. Link? PSN on the PS4 hasn't even gone live yet to millions of user and you're stating it's a better online service. Reserved bandwidth is an option on any mediocre router. It also doesn't compare to dedicated servers. That one shot over the cross bar, I'm afraid. I agree. Sony have done a grand job at sitting back and watching Microsoft take a load of flack then changing their policy and coming out as the good guy. Like I said before, if the PS4 lives up to the hype, I'll get one. I honestly think Amazon and eBay will be inundated with pre-owned PS4's when the kids realise the exclusive content for the biggest games will go to Xbox first, as per usual. Your points are whack.

Monster. Awesome car and build.

Bit rude not to.... more TitanFall: [video=youtube;rWgWn-Ithlg]

Didn't really have time to reply properly before.... just my take on a couple of Xbomb things: Before the fanboy outcry and Sony capitalising on it, Microsoft were actually attempting to release a 'next gen' console, but thanks to all the bitching we now have what is essentially a PS4. Prior to the U-turn on the DRM policy the Xbox One would have downloaded all updates, games, content and installed them offline. Something anyone who has owned a PS3 should have been jumping for joy about! I'm not talking about background updates that'll cause performance issues years down the line when the games will require heavy lifting either. You could have allowed up to ten friends access to your entire games library online -in which you could have played those games together simultaneously- over Xbox Live. Your entire games library would have been with you 'on the go' merely by signing in on someone else's console. You could have gifted digital games to friends... in my case, instead of getting in the car and driving to Basingstoke with the physical copies of unwanted games, I could have allowed my nephew complete access to my games via the cloud. All this whilst digital & physical games were still allowed to be traded. Being honest, I was like "Yes, farrrking, please!", but, no. No one seemed to take an honest look at the deal as they jumped on board the good guy Sony bandwagon.... all while it transpired that Sony was actually planning the same DRM policy, but purposely waited to see how it went down after Microsoft announced it. Nevermind, the fanboys won. I've got my glorified 360 coming and it's based on my history with both companies, owning both a PS3 and 360. Just my opinion, but Sony are incapable of developing a decent UI, their marketplace is a joke and the online experience has been weak compared to Xbox Live. Xbox has repeatedly dropped the smacked down in every department... hardware, developer support, UI, exclusives, exclusive DLC, indie games, marketplace, dedicated servers, game server reliability, companion apps and here's a biggy: security. 'Never quite got round to thanking our good guy Sony for leaking my credit card details online. Useless twats! If you've made it this far - thanks for baring with me. One other thing that swayed for for Xbomb: TitanFall: [video=youtube;cvPqn7FN-RM]

Have only skimmed over the thread since posting, but people conclusions based on playing on a game on both consoles, false information regarding the Xbox DRM, etc. The plots seems to get lost in blind loyalty.

Some crazy posts in this thread. People seem to lose the plot over console wars.

Xbox One + Forza 5 + Dead Rising + BF4 is all preordered. If the PS4 lives upto the hype, I'll pick one up pre-owned as I have no loyality to either side. I own both the 360 and PS3, although it has to be said, the PS3 is mainly used for blu-rays.

Yeah, as Dnk has said, 8x4 sheet of ply will work. The stong arm will have 3 points of contact with the ground and the legs will be wide apart for stability. Would recommend taking the bonnet off as well, dude.

Engine out would be easier anyway. Hire a decent strong arm, get some short straps and she'll come out no worries.

Haha, mate, anything shiny and I want it. Trying to be head strong, but I know the cracks will start appearing if I see other members cars and the power they're packing.

Hmmmm, you bring a good deal to the table. Being honest, it wouldn't be this side of Christmas if I did. I'm currently mustering the funds for the car I've seen so, if all goes well, get it, get Xmas out the way and then plough into it in the new year. I have told myself I will not let another Supra own my wallet, but you could be right.

Ahh right. In that case I think I would go for the £2500 short motor from Toyota option and put my head on it. Forged would be nice, but it would definitely be wasted on me.

That is good news, mate. How much does a forged motor cost? Any ideas on suppliers? Cheers.
