The Raven Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Hmm. Stock? Depends if its dry, tyres ect. But yes as with any car expect wheel spin the grip is good on these cars. Dont expect an auto to climb slowy in the rev range it will work however hard you push the peddle. So if you stuck a car in 1st with no handbrake on and floored it the same will happen in an auto. Then when it hits its rev range it will move to 2nd and continue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Raven Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 What kind of power are you looking for? Might be better to buy a TT auto BPU and save the hassle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Mine doesnt kick down unless the throttles pushed to the floor and if you drive a manual like that mid corner the result will probably be very similar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashbuster Posted September 14, 2011 Author Share Posted September 14, 2011 at first will be the basic power upgrades untill i saved enough to go all out defenatly looking to get the tt , would be helpfull if it was slightly modified but if not ill get the upgrades done will see what my budget it saying , i have plenty of reading to do alot of really good info on this site and you guys are really helpfull, so thanks for the help guys carnt wait now always wanted one but always thought the insurance would be stupid but its not as bad as my subaru so i dont see the point in me keeping it any longer. my dad had a supra (kept it standard) but its always a car ive liked and wanted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dnk Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 No problem Forgive me if i've missed it but how old are you ? It might pay you to try some of the specialist insurance brokers, im with Livingstones Warman Ins Brokers, their very good and insure quite a lot of Supras and understand the mods etc but its dependant on your age as i think you must be over 25 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashbuster Posted September 14, 2011 Author Share Posted September 14, 2011 im 25 mate ive only done the insurance quotes without mods at the moment because i wanted to check on here first for the best mods to begin with i was going to write down the mods and get a quote done with them too so i know where i stand, ive only been quoted by using comparethemarket to get a rough guide and the quotes i have been getting are fine. do the company your with do it online too or is it over the phone?

Dnk Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 What kind of quotes are you getting ? Its much better to speak to Livingstones, after giving your details they'll call you back with their best quote rather than you hold the line for ages. They cover my car which is heavily modified so you shouldn't have a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashbuster Posted September 14, 2011 Author Share Posted September 14, 2011 (edited) well my insurance quotes are 2,600 and thats for the 3.0 import turbo auto now for my subaru without mods i did a quote and its now 4,300 everything exactly the same just changed the car maybe its because of how many young drivers are getting subarus now maybe its classed as a boy racer car my subaru wasnt that expensive when i took my policy out tho , it was actualy cheaper with mods Edited September 14, 2011 by ashbuster (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you actually do any searching for quotes? You are paying way way way too much bud. An Evo/Scooby at 25 should be around £1k. A Supra TT at 25 should be around £500-£800. Do a few 1-1 quotes rather than comparison sites. Comparison sites are rubbish for performance cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 nice one mate, ive been clicking in the box at the top right and searching that way and it brings up all crap lol I typed in "stall" and selected "For Sale" in the prefix.

Scott Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 ahh nice 1 lol these easy enough to do or would you say it was a garage job I don't have an auto bud but I would guess it would be similar to a clutch change. Gearbox is going to need to come off anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
