That's really helpful and exactly what I needed to know! What did you decide to go for? Do tt6's come up often on this forum? Only seen single turbos or tiptronic at the moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hitbox Junkie Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Ik be going for a TT 6 speed or single 6 speed and il be asking jurgen when im at a good budget. 6 speeds do come up but it is a sellers market and the cars your get on here are usally worth every penny that they are asking for. I wouldnt bother with a 5 speed conversion as it will limit the mods you could do to it. Ive been tempted to just buy but wait and your find the right one for you and your budget Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My budget is around 10k give or take a bit so hoping to either import or find a nice example here. I just don't want to pay 10k to be only worth 8k in a years time lol I have another car at the moment so in no rush to throw money at it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in no rush to move out so why not use the money on a supra how much are you budgeting for a single turbo build doing it yourself? I've been told its 13k for a shop to fit it using quality parts.

Though being told im mad spending the amount on a car is getting very old but if its something you want and can.get then why the heck not. More memorys can be made when usimg it :-).

With the way prices are currently going on Supra's you'll get your money back... BUT if you are looking to use it as a daily driver then she is going to need care and attention if you want to keep her in fantastic condition. Suspension components aren't cheap and things like tyres can cost a fair bit. They are generally very reliable cars but you need to have a bucket should some work need to be done. Example if the VSS are shot and they need replacing then you are looking close to £1k to have them done by good garage. Make sure you add all these up if you are using it as a daily.

JordanC Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 I would definitely consider an auto, I bought a jspec TT auto back in August and I use it for commuting and its great! As mentioned, the kickdown is pretty epic even at stock levels (let alone BPU). If you've ever tried driving one in the torrential rain with the slip control off, you'll be thankful you're not worrying about gear changes at the same time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lewis hill Posted October 27, 2014 Author Share Posted October 27, 2014 Yeah I see what you're saying, its not that I don't want to spend on it. I just don't want to pay over the odds on it to start off with as that could go towards new suspension, wheels and bpu I see what you guys say of tiptronic but to me an auto is so boring, driven a few standard autos like vw etc (I know they don't compare technology wise) but I just find myself more involved with a manual which makes it more exciting as its down to you how quick you get off the line I would love to try or ride in both but I couldn't just go to a dealers and just have a free ride and leave lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't want to pay 10k to be only worth 8k in a years time lol I have another car at the moment so in no rush to throw money at it If you are staying in bpu levels, 5spd box should handle it. But if you wan't a car which hold it's value you should keep it relative stock. So avoid making conversions and buy that car what you really want in the first place. It saves you some money in the long run. And i think you have a good timing, these cars are not going to be cheaper in the future... Edit: And yeah, go with the manual. I heard that auto box is not a bad unit, but it is still an auto box. I enjoy a lot for changing gears by myself Edited October 27, 2014 by LasseV (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lewis hill Posted October 27, 2014 Author Share Posted October 27, 2014 Well I hope bpu wouldn't turn many people away when coming to re sell. But I heard you can only get a 5 speed TT that's a conversion which I want to stay away from. You don't know who done the work, what kind of parts, the quality of parts when fitted etc. Obviously if its a person from this forum that's different but still don't know how worn parts were when conversion took place. Oo So have you got a TT6? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 TT6 is a Getrag 6 speed and is the standard manual for a TT. a TT with a 5 speed is from the NA and will always be a conversion, at BPU level the 5 speed is like chocolate, i know people who have gone through 5 in a year.

Justin Bieber Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Some w58's do last, I was running somwhere over 400hp for the better part of 2 years and probably 12k miles, however I would advise just buying a tt6 to begin with, I spent over £11k convering my car by the time the first tt engine I bought had blown up and then buying a second.....

LasseV Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Oo So have you got a TT6? No no no, i have a 5spd n/a SZR. I'm a twistie junkie and high hp levels aren't my thing. I know that tt is a legend, but i never really considered that. My other options were porker 968/911. I bought this thing for solely driver enjoyment. I choosed Supra mainly emotional reasons (looks and loved these things from the early 90's) and that lovely engine. Supra is an amazing car in every incarnation tbh. It is sensational car to drive and own. I hope you find what you are looking for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
