Stan Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 Im sure that is the NA-T turbofit car, i remember the wheels. I'm sure I saw that car on pistonheads when I was looking for a GZ aero, as it was black and an aerotop and near me (norfolk), and of course I remember those wheels well. I think someone posted it up on here and it turned out it was a NA-T not a TT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon F Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 Hi everyone, seriously tempted by a supra near to me but a few things have been brought to my attention that could mean i have to stay well away from the car.... unfortunatly i dont know enough about these cars myself to know whats good and not... im asking for someone to come with me, give the car a good going over, and offer any of there experience and knowledge on the car. the car is located between brandon and kings lynn at a local traders garage. thanks I went and had a look at the silver one there and to be honest it was over priced and knackered, skirts are cracked, scratches all over it. Black one didnt seem in too bad shape, but didnt have a proper look round it. its sold as i put a deposit on it mate. as ive been saying to the guys today, i dont mind it being a turbo fit car as long as the base is ok, i can always build up and improve, i just want a good base, as long as it dont blow up il be happy. i like the car and from what i heard today from the lads it could well be a good one! its down to getting greasy tomorrow that counts. im outta posts now... need to do my membership.. cant get hold of homer.... need to do it without paypal as we aint bed friends.... thanks for putting up the pics mate, il text u in a bit about tomorrow. if anyone can put up details of getting membership without paypal id be chuffed. if not homer as ive heard hes the guy for the job.... thanks everyone! Have you checked this car out or just put a deposit on something you have seen through a showroom window? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Massey Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 Have you checked this car out or just put a deposit on something you have seen through a showroom window?

Vin plate decoder on this thread mate....... VIN Plate decoder Good luck hope it's a good one dont forget to check for LSD on the vin plate at the botom will look somthing like......... TRANS/AXLE V160 A02B V160 will be a 6spd manual and the important part of the next bunch of leters and numbers is the B this is for LSD. If it is a swap you'll need to know what sort of diff it's running and rember this is about £600-£700 to have changed with 2nd hand parts. If in any doubt post lots of pictures up on here and folks will help you out. Don't forget to get a picture of the vin plate if you cant open the thread or excel format.

Ian C Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 its got turbo fit all over it. What are your thoughts at this stage? Im thinking to walk away. That's all you need to know. Break out the emergency bargepoles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mcgoo Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 I would think walking away would be the sensible thing to do. If finance is the problem, could you get a car loan? At least then you could have a choice of known, privately owned supras from here. As said earlier you could probably pick up a reasonable TT for the money your looking to spend.

Al Massey Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 That's all you need to know. Break out the emergency bargepoles. Well ive told dan that i would leave it. Also he is going to Afghan in october so would be best to wait till he comes back off tour with loads of money saved and then look for a supra.

kill1308 Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 (edited) So it's an NA-T then.... Doesn't look particularly well looked after at all if you ask me, also looks like it's the "Turbo-Fit" car that everyone was telling you to stay clear of. Can you confirm how much this is?

danny1987 Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 i didnt think it would be very good because like i said before the silver one was knackered and most of the other cars he has didnt look to great either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kill1308 Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 It's all part and parcel of finding a good one.... there's a lot of shitters out there and each one you see is something new learned of what not to buy. You'll find one you are after... I knew the garage was dodgy when I saw the N/A for £7,000!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
