  1. I bet your clucking to get your mits on that car of yours Hitbox... looks great so far dude, sorry to hear you're having to harass people to get it done!
  2. Holy moly what a nice day! I so need a supra now before summer ends like next week.... So close yet so far, waiting for a certain someone to PM me
  3. Flipping stunning looking car bud, your attention to detail is spot on. Almost exactly the look I will be going for... Once I buy me a car that is
  4. I will take Matt up on that offer, any day any time ha.. I'm very interested in Lbooths UK 6 speed tt.. I've been looking at the pictures, she's a beauty. In the best colour too Before I go ahead and message him, I'm going to sign up to this forum... Oh and find a few more pennies. May even have to take drastic action and scrap in my precious copper collection. I believe he said he's not having any more viewings until after Easter now so that gives me some time. Guarantee he'll sell it tomorrow now, if its not already lol
  5. Hmm, a bloke (whose name I cant remember) actually told me the guys name not too long ago, but I have the worst memory.. That'd be great Matt, look forward to it bud
  6. Wow Legend! I'm Basingstoke mate. There used to be a guy who lived in Brighton hill (Basingstoke) who had a beast of a supra. In grey much like your profile picture. He was probably the one who actually got me into Supra's. One day in my youth, I was outside a one-stop eating sweets or something along those lines and he turned up, in that grey beauty. My jaw dropped at the sight and sound of it, it was perfect in my eyes! To top it off he did a real nice snaky burnout as he left, wheels narrowly missing the curbs as the rear end swung one way then the other. Exhaust popping and spitting.. Ahh! Since that day I've been hooked! I was in my element lol bless me, I couldn't believe what I just saw. Props to that man.
  7. Based in Hampshire. I'm insured to drive my old mans Audi whenever he's not using it. And my mums SLK, which she no longer has, I took for a spin a few times here and there. Why do you ask, are you a policeman ha......
  8. Abz; That's fair enough mate, but in what way is it better than a modern German car? I'm not being a knob here, I would honestly like to know. 'the gearbox doesn't have a mind of its own' I feel it kind of does mate. The most annoying thing I found with both autos I've driven is the crazy unpredicted downshifts when going from quarter/half throttle to full throttle. Its almost like it cant make its mind up, it drops one gear then thinks oh I can actually drop another and does so but not in one swift change. Do you know what I mean? Its just not fun and I Personally feel it takes the pleasure out of driving. When I say I don't feel in full control I don't mean I'm driving like a twat all over the shop, I just feel I'm not at one with it. Don't get me wrong abz I know some of the fastest drag supras are autos. I'm not trying to start the battle of the gearbox's' here, just giving my personal opinion on the feel of an auto.
  9. Wow I was expecting like 2 responses at most, thanks all for being so helpful. I will give the sent links a good read tonight! Morrisoncraig2... Dude that car is freakin badass, I may have to fire an email at Torque GT. I've been talking to JDM imports, hopefully receiving an email back on Monday about a Nice tt 6 speed. My only issue is the £15,000 its going to cost :/ I feel if I wait long enough ill find one for a better price in the UK. Any thoughts on that anyone? Swampy442... No offence man, I just feel a 6 speed is the real deal. A true drivers car... Sorry dude I don't mean to put them down I'm sure their great in some way or another. From personal experience, I drove my mums Mercedes 350slk and my dads almost new Audi A5 semi auto. They both failed to really get my juices pumping, which is strange considering my daily driver is a 1.9 Transporter ha. I put that down to the fact I never felt fully in control of either car. I like to use engine braking, rev matching on downshifts etc.. I just enjoy running through the gears, choosing the point in which the car changes up or down. You have complete control. The gear changes in that modern Audi, in manual sport mode, still failed to impress. And a supra being even older cant possibly be any better... I will keep you guys posted on my movements, as I'm sure ill have many more questions along the way. Thanks again for all of your replies, they are all much appreciated. Ryan.
  10. Hello all! I've been working my ass off saving many pennies. Now finally, I have enough to buy the car I've dreamed of for years. I'd love it if you guys could give me some help! Basically I'm after a 1993-1995 twin turbo 6 speed and what id like to know is; -What year to go for. (do they differ in style and performance from year to year?) -With regards to tuning, what's more suitable vvti or non vvti. -What model to go for: RZ, SZ, GZ (bearing in mind I will be having the engine built in time, to around 600hp). -What faults to look out for when viewing: I've done some research and it seems that Supras suffer from rust on the underside, but if there's any other big things to look out for id much appreciate that advice. -Are there any models to stay away from with regards to tuning. -If there's anyone out there looking to sell a 6 speed twin turbo/ built single turbo, I am in hot pursuit and would love to speak to you! I would like to say once I have my car ill be signing up for a full membership on here, this site is great. Kind Regards Ryan Godley
