Scooter Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 To me a stock TT is still a nice quick car, it would take only a few psi to get an NA there and the W58 would survive and the clutch would perhaps not need an immediate upgrade so you could defer that cost....to be fair if its on it's original clutch as I suspect it is then it's a cost coming up at some point anyway and an uprated one wouldn't be that much more than stock. Only you can decide, when you have a car like yours the NA-T route is more worthy of consideration but like I say you need to fully research the costs and limitations.

herbiemercman Posted May 18, 2015 Author Share Posted May 18, 2015 Hi guys, I like the crack and you are on it, I am just going to get a can of petrol and a box of matches for my n/a, lol, I will also be voting for Paul Whiffbits and his cash rich followers and hoping that Tony Blair is re-elected. May be i will buy my brother's tt, it has been to Chris Wilson and is a 40.k miles super ship from new, it's all about money in the end in the uk, but not for me, i do not like adverts which are misleading, high cost products, and in time they "take the piss", if the punters have a conscience they have to live with it it. herbiemercman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Graham, I remember you from years back, you are on it.! I am a seriouse biker and been in iom races etc, my supra became my bike, at the time i did not really know that the n/a was way under powered for the original tt cars reputation in the uk, bit like a fake, however mine is like new and i just wanted to put a proper power unit under the hood, however this seems to cost as much as looking for a tt, BUT i want to keep my car, bought it new and i love it, so as many have said, need to look at a tt conversion, i had delusions of granduer from Whiffbits they are not on it, but getting by on knuckleheads, IMHO, good luck to them lol, Tony Blair did it with the whole country. herbiemercman.

Graham1984 Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 If a Supra was your bike then surely it's around a Vesper/Honda90 range It's a shame when the attachment to a car takes over. Just look at all financial options and realistically you've just to got enjoy it for what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Whiffin Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 We are not out to rip people off or mislead at all, we simply are offering the kit with or without certain components giving people options. And it does say on our website what extras you will need to make the kit work. We sell NA-T turbo kit as a basic kit plus extras that you need. We don't sell the turbo kit as a complete kit with the ecu included as a lot of buyers like to fit/supply there own ecu, there are so many options out there available. Some customers use 2nd hand Greddy emanage as there are lot about cheap, saving people a few hundred quid. Same with the clutch, we dont include one as part of the kit as you dont need one with an automatic car. And if you look at the bottom of the page on our website it lists the extra's that you will need. Regards Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveR Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 someone needs a chill pill or a nosh This. If you're worried about spending £4k then tuning an already-expensive, older car such as a Supra maybe isn't for you. Tuning is EXPENSIVE and when old parts are put under increased strain, weaknesses will show up more quickly meaning costs can mount. I always try for a rule of thumb being to have AT LEAST £2k over and above any initial quote to mitigate against unexpected issues. Keep your NA and get used to being beaten off the lights, which it kind of seems is probably your thing... I will never forgive toyota for making the na's, it's a bit like people with big muscles who cannot fight when required Also... What? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should not, to the uninitiated, make claims that you can supply a kit that converts a na for £2,700, knowing full well that is only half the story, sort of £1,500 short, wish you well, and no one but you, technically, would know better, but i will not trust you because of this. herbiemercman.

herbiemercman Posted May 18, 2015 Author Share Posted May 18, 2015 Hi Dave, It is obvious to me where you are with whiffbits, and i wish you well.

Mike2JZ Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Herbie, no one is pointing a gun to your head to purchase the kit why are you getting so irate. If your point here is that not all the potential mods are included in the extra section, then perhaps suggest it to Whifbitz to expand the extra section to include things like a clutch? Also, try and find a turbo kit sold by any of the big names like HKS that include EVERYTHING you could need. I'll save you some searching and tell you already they don't. Hopefully no one tells the OP the cost of labor to get these sort of things installed, it might push him over the edge :O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

herbiemercman Posted May 18, 2015 Author Share Posted May 18, 2015 Hi Everyone, It is a good club where you can speak your mind, I admit i was "pissed off" with the Whiffbits add, I am not happy with having a car which is as new and looks like the tt rocket ships with a lawn mower engine under the hood, HOWEVER i don't like companies who make a fortune out of making people think they can cure your problem with lured in, low cost bullshit, and then the sting in the tail, when you get the truth. I also am suprised that a "moderator" can try to put you down just to "play to the gallery", pathetic. herbiemercman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
