Gabriella Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 I have an NA, and I'm not interested in tuning, bodykits or wheels, so..... I bought a Magic Tree recently which set me back £2.99. For my first year insurance i paid over £3.000 -no comments. I spend most of my money and time on my car. Before i pay for one mad idea another comes and now i know it will never ends but i think that's the best part of having a Supra. Few months ago i thought my car looks as i wanted, i thought i was so happy but 2 months ago i just give up that silly thinking and i'm changing it again With a Supra You will never get bored and you will never save any money for anything else...oh well, I Love my Supra and that's all that matters Is there anyone who is 100 % satisfied with his Sup?

Lbm Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 100% no I dunno. Remember Wolfking from last year? He was very satisfied. He had under-car and in-car neons too IIRC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 £36k on my first supra, it didn't really look any different after all that cash, but did have a lot more power £1k ish on my current one, including the car. It looks somewhere different though! I'll not be going back to spending big money on these cars again, unless it's for the sake of moooar power Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golfpro Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 Really whatever you spend on it it is going to be great value for money. If you go for a 93 to 96 uk spec (£7.5-10K?) you will match a £50k M3. If you go BPU (£10k?) you will match a £70K 911. If you go single (£15-20k?) you will match a £130k 430. If you go serious single/twins (£50k?) you will match £1m Veyron. every level of tune, if done right, will be a great car for the money.

manny Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 I just added it up a few weeks ago, spent 28K in parts including 11k for the car 7 years ago. Nearly pooped meself. Only another 10k to go till its where I want it to be! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lui Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 Brought my supra for £11,500 & must of spent over 20k on it but worth every penny always puts a big smile on my face when driving it best car I have ever drove & will never sell it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil-NA Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 Think i have spent around 7k on the NA thats with buying the car for £3300, the actual parts value of what i have put on comes to around 2k, the rest is either lying around or like always i buy things, don't use them and sell them a week later (throttle bodies, all the bling from reflections) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could also spend 20k , wait months for completion waiting parts,etc, then do 100 miles and sell it -for half what it cost if lucky- cost 100 pounds per mile!! -not such a value then -lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
