rsmithinfo Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 Hi Guys, Currently own a Ford Cougar V6 as my everyday car. I'd like to get a project going and think a Supra would be cool. Would like to get a cheap TT Supra and do it up really really nice ready for when the Cougar dies. What would people advise? I have downloaded the guides and will look through later. Any help greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marbleapple Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 Think you might need to define a 'cheap' TT Supra. The cost a fortune petrol wise to run and are not cheap to fix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mariusz Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 You can pick up a nice n/a at a decent price to start you off. All clean good engine... Then turbo it lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsmithinfo Posted March 6, 2008 Author Share Posted March 6, 2008 Cheap - meant cheap to start with, i.e. discounted because it needs a bit of work etc, as I am planning to do it up that's OK. I realise they aren't cheap to run though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 Hi and welcome Before we all start 2nd guessing your intentions, can you give an approximate budget you have in mind for the initial purchase price? Auto or manual? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsmithinfo Posted March 13, 2008 Author Share Posted March 13, 2008 I was thinking a manual as I prefer them but am open to suggestion. Initial budget was thinking around £5k heance a longer term project to make it an awesome supra but doesn't have to be perfect to start with just a good base...

stevie_b Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 £5k for a TT *might* be within reach, but it would probably need some TLC on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rsmithinfo Posted March 13, 2008 Author Share Posted March 13, 2008 Would a TT Aerotop be pushing it too far? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwayne Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 aerotop doesn't come in manual mate and yes it probably is pushing it too far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsmithinfo Posted March 13, 2008 Author Share Posted March 13, 2008 What are people's opinions on Auto vs Manual - I've always driven manual feels more like driving the car properly or is that stupid? Any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicolai Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 dude, i would go for the 6sp manual that posted a few post up if i was you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
