Hey guys and girls,
Just thought i would make my own thread on here as i will more than likely be posting a decent amount for the foreseeable future as i spend all my hard earned cash on my recent purchase. I joined this forum quite a few years ago when i originally bought a white n/a manual from a member on here. It was a lovely car but i never ended up driving it because soon after i bought it my 'job' didn't go so well for quite a while, so i ended up selling it to a guy from France who came and trailered it away. This was the n/a i owned:
Anyway, over the past 6 weeks or so i'd been looking at the jap auctions, Pistonheads and this forum every day trying to find myself a nice white TT6 Supra in great condition. But just nothing was coming up that was even close to it to be honest. I ended up talking to Jurgen from JM-Imports (as many of us i do i have seen) And he had a beautiful stock (apart from the wheels) white TT with low miles coming over but it was a tiptronic. I thought about it for about a week and made him a few offers and we eventually agreed on a price and a deposit was put down The car landed in the UK 2 days ago and hopefully i'll be able to pick it up in about 2-3 weeks time!! Very excited right now haha
I don't have many pictures i'm afraid as of yet but here are a few:

Looking pretty mint underneath
I haven't decided exactly which way to go with the car as of yet, i have 2 ideas in my head and they are completely worlds apart in terms of body styling lol
The first is to keep it pretty much stock looking, remove the side skirts and rear spats keep it clean and just change the wheels and get some coilovers. Basically make it look like this:
The second is to get a Do-Luck front and side skirts, with Trial rear, carbon TRD wing, ganadaor mirrors and 19" Rota grid drifts finished in matte purple (purple is my favourite colour and i think it would look pretty sweet) Basically exactly the same as this members car but in white and with different wheels:
I really can't decide at the minute, and i don't need to right away either but your opinions would be appreciated! Either way next year i'll more than likely look for a manual gearbox to swap in unless i particularly like the tiptronic which i kinda think is unlikely at the minute but i'm not ruling it out!
So just thought i'd say hi once again, as i was absent for so many years, and that i'll update with some more pictures when i pick the little beauty up at the start of July
