safcdixon Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 Aye that's what I'm hoping for, can't wait to get rid of that pap autobox! Knowing my luck there will be something wrong. Autobox is class! You just have to know how to thrash it, takes abit of getting used too, cant argue that id have a 6speed in mine like haha, BUT I love the auto tbh plus burnouts are a piece of piss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rywalls Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 I suppose so like, mine insists on going into 4th gear every time I come off a round about doing like 20mph max! A prefer manual so much more, autobox takes half the fun out of driving it I'll be honest with you I've never even attempted a burnout mate I'm scared incase I break it haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulj1 Posted August 2, 2015 Author Share Posted August 2, 2015 Cars going in for a six speed conversion with Jurgen on the 17th, if all goes well and I have it back by the 22nd I'll join you's! I'm sure you'd be fine for that Jurgen doesn't mess around 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe if it was a 6speed autobox instead of 4 I'd be tempted to stick with it. Where and what is O/D like? Aye av heard all the boxes are bulletproof! Mine will be up for sale shortly if you need any spares! Aswell as the prop and diff and everything else including two mint condition facelift front seats!

With the stupid buttons on the wheel? If so aye its shite lol its not the same as the prefacelift at all, i agree it could do with atleast one more gear, but for the short thrashes that i do its ideal, the od (overdrive)button on miine is on the side of the gearstick im unsure on the facelift version tbh, basically turning overdrive off removes 4th gear, its really only a motorway gear tbh, my supra was a 6speed like, if i go single in the future i will put a 6speed in so i can run bigger power, when i reshelled it i had so much to sort i couldnt afford to put the 6speed in, so i did a manual to auto conversion the only supra ever to go backwards haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rywalls Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 Yeah mate it's a '99 VVTI with the shite buttons haha. Ahh right, mine has a little red button with some japanese writing underneath it on the top right hand side of the black plastic trim where the auto gear lever is, looks like a missile launcher button ha, I press it though and it does nowt, no lights on the dash or anything show up. Haha aye that's the first backwards conversion ive ever heard of! I'd rather have the 6speed and no shell ha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha aye that's the first backwards conversion ive ever heard of! I'd rather have the 6speed and no shell ha The red button allows you to select a gear with the engine off, so you can move it in Neutral if its broken haha Missus crashed me supra so i reshelled it, otherwise the old one would of been a little further on, i couldnt wait to get it back so spent money on everything but the engine and box, swapped those back in, cause i know they are going to come back out in the next year or so anyway, shame im skint at the min or I woulda bought crocks 6speed kit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rywalls Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 I didn't dare press it when I first got the car haha No way!!! Your missus still in the bad books? That's fair enough like bet you couldn't wait to get it back on the road. I know mate it's a shame the box is clunking it I would have bought it. I've had to get loads of new gear from Toyota raping my bank balance im sick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
