BoostJunky86 Posted April 2, 2016 Author Share Posted April 2, 2016 ^^ do your rear arches not get annihilated, rears looks wide. But I love the look of that? PM details please dude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoostJunky86 Posted April 2, 2016 Author Share Posted April 2, 2016 Okay, given your requirements there's no point looking in Japan, you won't find what you want. All single turbo cars over there will have gauges etc, most will have mismatched seats. As you will have found, cars do occasionally pop up in the UK, you'll need to either jump on one of those or start approaching owners with a strong offer. Yeah your rights know I don't mind changing basics removing gauges or swapping seats. Realistically all things can be swapped. Just don't see the point in buying something knowing I'll have to change loads of that makes sense. In no real rush but would be nice to have one.

j_jza80 Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 btw, I'm not sure if you're aware, but there are currently some pretty major issues with the 6 speed gearboxes. Toyota / Getrag have stopped producing them now, so new ones can't be bought. The last remaining new one I'm aware of is for sale for £6500... (a well known forum member bought a 6 speed TT for over £1k less than that a few years ago! ) In addition, the prices of used boxes have become ridiculous, a broken one just sold on here for just under £3k (just the box). Good ones are circa £3500- £4000. They are very strong boxes, but they're not unbreakable, and the older they get the more likely failure will become. There is a company called Jacks transmissions in the US who can rebuild them, *if* they can get the parts, but even then it may cost £3k including shipping, maybe more. Another option would be to buy a nice single turbo auto and have it converted to a BMW DCT gearbox / paddleshifters by Whifbitz. Similar power handling to the 6 speed, but much faster gearchanges, less transmission losses, better economy etc, and used boxes can be had from £500.

Very much I guess a common problem with cars getting older. But I do feel a manual is what is want. But defo something to think about. Something will come up I like im sure.

Just so long as you know, didn't want you buying a car, and then end up breaking the gearbox and having a heart attack when you seen the gearbox prices Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j_jza80 Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 If that first one has full history and paperwork to back up the miles, owners etc, and the condition reflects it, I don't think that's overpriced in the current market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck with your search Thanks guy's, but mine is now firmly not for sale , all booked in at SRD and then to get resprayed, should be perfect, just as summer is coming to an end Was never sure I wanted an AeroTop after hearing of the 'wobble' But it does look nice! Don't worry about that, I have had Turbos and N/A's in both tin top and targa, once the roof is bolted down, there is no difference, if you are going 10/10 on a track, you may pick something up but after years of road use in both(back to back), I can't pick up any wobble, take the roof off and you can feel it, but it's not that bad, drive a convertible Audi if you want to experience truly horrific scuttle shake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoostJunky86 Posted May 20, 2016 Author Share Posted May 20, 2016 Tbh I have my eye on 3 cars at the moment. So getting close. Just have to try and work out which is the best value car now. Budget dropped a bit with the wedding coming up but hopefully next few weeks will see me behind the wheel of a Supra. Trying to go through specs. What bits I want, what they have for future plans but most importantly the quality of the base car itself. Best looked after etc. Been stung in the past vying modded cars so being extra careful this time! Fingers crossed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
