  1. Its not normally a problem with any of the Supra gearboxes. Especially the 6 speed Getrag version.
  2. Haven't we already been through this? Don't upset Jake with all this TRD stuff because its got a sticker and the guy says so! If we told you it was a NISMO Supra would you start calling it that?
  3. In real road terms the NA isn't a great deal slower than the TT. Okay the TT has loads more torque giving acceleration from any gear, but when racing like for like the NA isn't very far behind. At least until 100-120 when the TT will dissapear, but how often do you do that? Driving the TT like its supposed to be driven will: 1. Cost you a mint in petrol 2. Get you banned, or at least points on your license 3. Crash your car (many do) 4. Give you a massive smile If you do want to upgrade performance at a later date, buy a TT now. The NA-T kit is an option, but not really a worthwhile IMO unless you want to be different.
  4. I have both, I am selling my TT and keeping the NA. I think that speaks volumes for the car in itself. Don't be put off by all the crap that you should have an NA (or other rear wheel drive car) fisrt before getting a TT. They are pokey in standard form and do need to be driven with obvious caution but there not rocket ships. Personally, I thought for a car with near enough 330 BHP and that amount of torque that it wasn't as quick as I expected. The TT insurance is often cheaper, it was for me, Im 25. It really depends what you are after budget wise and performance wise. The TT is easy to extrcat big power, but the NA does not have many mod option at all. Except NOS. I found that using the TT as a daily driver was a bit of a waste and a fair amount of money to be tied up for the 2% of the time I felt like giving some welly. For me personally, I think the NA is the better option, feels faster around the local roads and still has the looks.
  5. Cheers dude!! That would have been an issue, I'm not very patient
  6. My exhaust is actually feckin loud all the way up to about 90 in 5th gear! I might try it with the baffle in (for a minute ) at the weekend. My car needs a clean a some decent number plates, the one on the back isn't wide enough and I have ordered a smaller 'reflective decal' for the front. Need to speak to Mr Whiffin about a Veilside shift knob to make it look 6 speed, then spray my dash black. Ohh, have to fit my CD player this weekend and order my alarm.
  7. Yeah but I use the TT when I wanna go fast, the Rover Coupe when I want to save petrol, and now the NA when I want some attention. What do you do? I'm off home now (in my loud NA)
  8. Dude, you crack me up! No point in wasting them beer tokens!
  9. Faster than you rude boi!!

    RSR Exhaust

    Had it fitted the other day to my NA and have just started driving it. Its pretty noisy, sounds sweet on tickover, then growls like a bastard to about 4,500 RPM! Might have to get some Cheers to Paul E for a cool piece of kit
  11. Thats definetly a stock exhaust, and it also an aftermarket subwoofer set-up. The original is rectangular and the amp is under the passenger seat IIRC.
  12. PMSL Sounds like the gut your buying from doen't know his arse from his elbow. Check exactly what you are buying before handing over the cash. Get the chassis no. and check it on here to find out what it is.
  13. Really, my 1994 SZ-R has no traction control. It does have electric seats that ALL supra's have on the right hand side of the seat (the bit you sit on). What gadgets do the SZ's get that an SZ-R doesn't? Mine also has climate control, not just a/c, and has illuminated door lock rings, and flippy mirrors.
  14. I *think* that the facelift manual NA's were 6 speed, pre facelift were 5 speed.
  15. I would be happy a 'full UK conversion' if it had the brakes and imporatnt stuff. Things like the gei boy washers (and any associated buttons) you can all keep. I don't think people expect to have that with a full UK conversion. As already mentioned I certainly don't.
  16. hmmmmm.........okay! I plan to try an update my site soon. Car pictures an all.
  17. Yeah, do you like my TT for 10K as wll 7.5k more like. I do need to do some stuff to it, its getting the time. How are you anyway dude?
  18. No I don't, thats the problem
  19. Parking is okay at my work, I have my own three spaces (for all three of my cars) The decent one goes in the middle
