Swampy442 Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Ah, that's a shame. I just don't know if I'll be happy with an auto, but I won't know until I try one I guess. Too much stigma attached to the auto box, just drive one. Plus the 6 speed box is a pretty rough, agricultural unit anyway, when I drove one I thought it was broken lol.

chris0132 Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 I saw that blue one at modified nationals it's ok the wheels let it down big time and the paint wasn't amazing so imo not worth the 4k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest StuartTheFish Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 It's not so much the supra auto that's the problem, for me it's just auto boxes in general. That said, I've heard the supra one is a good one. Are they tiptronic or anything? Possible to convert into a paddle shift setup maybe? And thanks for your opinions on the blue one, I've not gone to see it yet, and now I'm not sure if I'll bother. I could still do with finding out if the child seats will fit in one though.

listy Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Do a search for child seat question. It has been broadly covered Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest StuartTheFish Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Just seen a mention that the Britax prince seat fits, and that's what we have so should be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris0132 Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Isn't it just gloss blue too not even metallic not the best colour imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest StuartTheFish Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Typical, my budget may now end up being even smaller. Just washed it today, and it knocked a bit of paint off the roof. :crying: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Massey Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Cheers guys, seems I can get either an na manual, or a turbo auto for my budget then. Though that said, I can already see the for sale section and there are some that have been converted to 5 speed turbos at around the 4.5k mark? I've actually just been offered a manual non turbo too, a bmw blue one in York, only 15 miles away from me. Would it be worth getting that, then saving up for an engine swap? I know that car, gave the guy a hand on his for sale ad as it was shocking lol Looks great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Massey Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Is the owner on here then? Do you personally know the car? He's not on here no. I've only seen it a few times but saw his ad on Facebook, and he's friends with a close friend of mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest StuartTheFish Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Just seen this one with a soarer 4 litre v8 in it: http://www.gumtree.com/p/cars-vans-motorbikes/toyota-supra-40-v8-soarer-manual/1042429355 The Superman badge looks stupid and IMO it needs a front lip and a boot spoiler, but what about the engine? I was always under the impression the soarer v8 wasn't much good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Massey Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Hmm, the seller claims to be called Michelle... This the light blue one? With black rear diffuser? I'm home in 2 weeks if you want me to come with you to view any car in or around York area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of people have said I shouldn't really be considering a 5 speed anyway, so not sure if I'll end up viewing it or not yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMan Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 (edited) Former R33 gtst owner and I can assure you that an NA supra will use more fuel than your R33 if both are driven reasonably. The main difference is that when driven hard the consumption on the Supra barely increases, I could watch the gauge dropping on the Skyline. The supra is a far more reliable vehicle though Edited January 14, 2014 by GMan (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
