heartworm Posted October 3, 2005 Author Share Posted October 3, 2005 yeah it's on a supra, can't find any information on theGT26 on the net ...not a good choice then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 It's a great choice if you've got a 240Hp 4Cylinder.... Can you post a link or something to see what's going on?? I'm sure it must be a typo or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 OOOHHHHH NOW I SEE It's an NA with a T26 turbo conversion...in which case well it could be the around the 300-320HP mark....BUT it's heavily modded and insurance could be a killer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heckler Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 oooooh, an N/a turbo conversion... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heartworm Posted October 3, 2005 Author Share Posted October 3, 2005 insurance is always a killer at my age.............just got some good news from the bank though, they are willing to increase my loan since I got a payrise at work, yay! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not preaching to you, but, If it's your first Supra, then this is not probably the one to get. There could be a lot of bills on the way...if your limited on finances then get something prooven or standard. I'd run a stock TT and save a lot on insurance whilst getting used to this type of car. Then I'd work from there. Just my 2p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeordieSteve Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 I'd say if your having trouble insuring a twin turbo, you'd have REAL trouble with a single turbo (p.s. NA's and twin turbos are about the same to insure) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jim_supra Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 they've had that car for sale for about 6 months now, so not too fresh an import. still worth checking it out though, it could well be a good car. but on the same note have heard a few horror stories about them. as have a few people on this board.

Nic Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 Agree with Alex, NA/single conversion is not the best choice, definitely go for a standard TT instead. No telling how good the conversion was, insurance will be a killer, plus you'll really struggle to sell the car on afterwards as 99.9% of buyers will opt for a stock TT (with similar power output) instead.
