Wez Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 So it's cheaper to insure a stock tt (manual/auto) than a single turbo (manual/auto) Stock cars are generally always cheaper than modified Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hazza Posted June 10, 2012 Author Share Posted June 10, 2012 Stock cars are generally always cheaper than modified Only thing is I have only just bought mine and also it's a targa top what makes it a bit more unique?

hazza Posted June 10, 2012 Author Share Posted June 10, 2012 If I get the kit and fit it, and get it remapped is there much left to do? Obviously exhausts side of things il have to change and brakes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

listy Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 Found this .... http://www.suprastore.com/tosusitukit1.html If you scroll down the page, you'll notice it says no longer sold due to inconsistencies (iow unreliable) and for that price, i'm not surprised. I used to have an NA, and was going to turbo it, but in the end decided to just buy a TT mate. Costs less, you'll have less dramas, much easier. And believe it or not, my insurance went down on the TT compared to the NA!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOGIE Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 yeah do a search for his username "Keron" but there is a waiting list for the NA-TT i enquired a month or so ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antno Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 I could use more funds as I'm selling my civic atm I have a bit behind me got good work etc Insuraning a tt that expensive!? Lol I pay £1400 on my j spec tt6. I had a drink driving ban 4 years ago. Got 3 years no claims and I'm 23. I thought that was quiet reasonably as I pay 900 on the passat estate.

TubbyTwo Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 Sadly Supra's are not the sort of cars to modify with small budgets. I agree with the others, sell and stick the £2k towards a proper TT. Have you actually driven a fully BPU'd TT supra? They arent slow by any means and there still isnt much on the roads day to day that can take them. And as for not declaring mods? dont even bother, if you cant afford to insure the supra when its modified then its really not the car for you. My car is an NA-TT brought from Hoff on here and insured with Sky, everything is declared, yes its costs more but that comes with the car. If you think insurers/police are not actively on car forums your mistaken! Take a step back, think it through and go the sensible route, do it cheap and it will just ruin the experience.

Nodalmighty Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 If you are patient you can pick up parts here and there for pennies. I paid £100 for my NA-T manifold (and it's not a XS-Power POS either) and £55 delivered for a 90mm Billet throttle body. I can be done for 2k as I will prove but being able to do most of the work yourself (Wiring, Mapping, Engineering) does help as does having a wife who is a fabricator/welder/Engineer . Lyndon.

Nic Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 Sell it, add your 2k to the budget, buy a TT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the route too take, only because its an aero! if it had been a hardtop I would have said sell it and buy a TT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
