michael Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 Welcome to the club Though one is what the difference between the RZ & SZ ?? RZ is a Twin Turbo model (as is the RZ-S and GZ) and the SZ is a normally aspirated version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barney Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 Welcome aboard, good luck with your car search, good prices and cars can be found, just take your time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 Just out of interest why are you selling the EVO VIII in favour of a Supra? (I'm not saying there is anything wrong with this, just curious to know what the EVO lacks that the Supra promises ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sti-04!! Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 I used to have an MY04 Sti & sold it for the EVO which i dont like .............. i just want to try something else & want to get BIG power Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 Is your goal, Drag racing, quick road car or track car? This could change which spec you go for - ie auto or manual (auto being the best for drag racing and IMO the manual is more suited to track work) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sti-04!! Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 Mostly quick road car, but i do like tracking as well Definatly a manual 6sp TT, though would you get more power from a single turbo ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suprash Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 Mostly quick road car, but i do like tracking as well Definatly a manual 6sp TT, though would you get more power from a single turbo ?? With a single you can get any power you want, its the rest that needs upgrading to go with it, like fueling, intercooler, internals if you aim to go past teh 600bhp mark, but a small single going to around 500/600bhp is still quite costly for a stock Supra, if you can pick up a modded one, say all the usual, filter, decat, with FMIC, exhaust, then it saves you some work. You need to specify what you want power wise, and what car your planning on getting, and then we can tell you more what you have to do, and what it will cost. Welcome though, Im sure your enjoy it....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muffleman Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 Welcome Sounds like you're after the same as I was - then I found the right car on these boards 400bhp is relatively easily achievable without spending a great deal. Before you condemn the auto though, it really is worth taking one for a spin. That said, it's not the best idea for track use, but I really wouldn't say a definite NO to the auto until you've tried it. All the best mate Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbourner Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 Mine was 12k, then I got full decat and a few associated mods for about a grand, and now I'm on 363 RWHP so about 420-430 BHP!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scoboblio Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 Supra in favour of an evo8 Now there's someone with proper taste! A quick pointer, don't completely ignore the auto until you've driven one, I never thought I'd buy an automatic car until I tried mine, really fast and smooth for crusing and the manual mode is good fun on the twisties Plus lazy burnouts with a bit of left foot breaking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 To go single - properly - you would have to budget 6-10k - depending one whether you do the work yourself or pay for it. I've spent 6k ish on mine so far and I'm doing a budget setup with help from friends to fit it and map it. Not that I've actually started fitting it yet Still waiting for parts.
