Jurgen-Jm-Imports Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 Took the covers off, unstiched the centre panel and got my mum to sew in the new panels. Then put the covers back on (lots of horrid clippy things hold them in place. mmmmmmmm was it easy i may be tempted to do mine does it take long?

Jspec Germany Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 Stick with your del-sol, getting good gas mileage for the next 7 months while putting away 250 pound away every two weeks. At the end of 7 months, you'll have saved(+your current budget) enough to afford a TT. In the meantime, soak up what you can about MKIV TTs on this site, which will make you better-informed when it comes time to make the purchase. There. Problem solved. That'll be 150 bucks please.

Jurgen-Jm-Imports Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 Heh, thats when you put your "I can't be bothered to race you" face on and hope they think you've got a TT yep but most time they dont bother racing you just incase it is and they dont want to be shown up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottrw Posted May 24, 2005 Author Share Posted May 24, 2005 To be fair I probably have typed that way since I was about 14..... So please accept my apologies. Look Im trying, but old habits die hard. N/A is looking a reasonable option at the moment though. I would want to make a little extra power thouhgh I think!

Faye Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 mmmmmmmm was it easy i may be tempted to do mine does it take long? Not easy at all, my mum is a fantastic seamstress, so I couldn't have done that bit and those bloody clips are a nightmare (I think my general lack of the right tools for the job didn't help). If I was doing it again I'd pay someone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 Sounds pertty similar to what I currently have but I get better economy! Not bad though....... Auto sounds like a nice option too. Im gonna take a look around...... Cant hurt to test drive & make a decision from there, can it? Theres a few members local to you, stick a post up in the Supra Chat section for any local members who could take you for a spin in one. If you're ever in the Reading area I'm happy to show you around a nice TT and take you for a 'spin'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Ishani Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 Im gonna take a look around...... Cant hurt to test drive & make a decision from there, can it? Damn straight. I believe a CAI mod on a NA isn't such a good idea, best to check the search... last thing I read (IIRC) was that buying decent filters for the standard 'box was a better option. I'm sure someone with brains in this area will correct me if otherwise! There are loads of topics on modding supras in general, browsing around the knowledge stored in the forum will reveal all sorts of handy tidbits (been very useful for me so far, anyway...) From what i've heard the auto box is apparently very good, but i'm heading for manual myself. Just... eh.. beacause Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottrw Posted May 24, 2005 Author Share Posted May 24, 2005 Jurgen the C-West one looks pretty nice. What do you mean by custom dash? Beacause of the dvd head unit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottrw Posted May 24, 2005 Author Share Posted May 24, 2005 Thanks Homer..... Reading isn't far from me at all!! Last time I drove there I got stuck in traffic, got fed up & turned around again...lol. Maybe next time I will actually manage to park up?

CJ Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 I have a turbo model and live in Abingdon. Give me a shout if you want a ride Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottrw Posted May 24, 2005 Author Share Posted May 24, 2005 Sorry to sound stoopid but Im not sure where Abingdon is? I have only recently moved down here myself! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian R Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 A TT is best option as others have said an NA is alot more expensive to extract more bhp out of. I've had an NA in the past and always looked on wishing I had the real deal I suppose. The main point is at the moment you have 180bhp at the time you bought it you were probably happy with it. Now you want more and believe me whether its a TT or NA after a few months you will want more again and IMO to get more a TT is the cheapest way to go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im guessing this is a real beast? Ok Homer thats a nice offer thanks..... What sort of power do you mean by "mildly modded"? I would love for you to take me out......
