how_supra Posted October 20, 2006 Author Share Posted October 20, 2006 is the auto box unreliable??? No not atall, although when the sensors go, they do tend to play havoc with the gears, but the manuals are much quicker and hold their value better. Thanks for all your comments guys. What a pleasure driving into work was this morning. Im waiting for all the comments from the people who I work with, one person in particular who does not know anything about Supras, but assumes he does, [he's pushing 65]. and apparently supras are really unreliable. hmm..you sure dont hang about now do you.... Nice looking car no no no I had already been looking, I had actually already filled in the finance forms before my car broke down last week. but it did become much more important. Enjoy her... Must say though after my FTO the Supe does take a little getting used to... Watch the roundabouts or any bends in the wet until you get used to it FWD to RWD is a whole new ball game Being a NA you won't notice much difference in the fuel either, If anything being a Manual you may even get more than the FTO. I've been quite fortunate as I've had the pleasure of driving Rush's NA before now on a couple of extended occasions, the only thing I found a bit strange is having 6 gears to be honest. I am very concious of the RWD thing, especially after my FTO of which you can literally chuck round corners. Its nice being a 6 speed as you say the fuel economy should only be slightly worse if not match my FTO. God knows how many times so far i've asked what's her neext purchase for the car?? Gotta say though after driving a few 6 speeds now she has gotta do something about the height of the gearstick. Maybe one of those short shifters in there. Then i'll get the polish kit out for under the engine, then NOW MUST REMEMBER, it's not my car LOL Santa is always looking for ideas. don't let my current reluctance hold you back what are you on about mate? the NA is a perfectly capable car that is comfortable to drive, has enough torque and caters for a wider market.... good on her To be fair I was expecting some stigma from maybe one or two people, about it having no Turbos, but Im more than happy with the car, and chuffed to bits.

how_supra Posted October 20, 2006 Author Share Posted October 20, 2006 i believe so i think all 6 speed na's are SZ-R's. There are 5 speed facelift manuals that are just plain SZ's......... ah ha, even better then, more of a bargain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveR Posted October 21, 2006 Share Posted October 21, 2006 Nice one Sabrina, glad you've finally seen the light and got a Supe, you sound as happy as I was when I picked mine up! It was a shame the FTO was unreliable, hopefully you will have better luck with the Supe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

how_supra Posted October 22, 2006 Author Share Posted October 22, 2006 Again thank yooooooooouuuuuuuuuuu. Im sure it will be much more reliable than the FTO. I can't be that unlucky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pabs Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 looks like a nice car there! My mum and dad still have an FTO - central locking is f00ked and we've tried repairing it SOOO many times now, alternator went and that was a bit of a pig to replace.. battery keeps going flat because they don't drive it enough (i think).... Good move getting a Supra - I intend to do the same to prove to mum and dad that japanese cars can be reliable! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
how_supra Posted October 22, 2006 Author Share Posted October 22, 2006 weird electrics were the cause of my FTOs constant problems as well. Did you use a refurbed alternator or a brand new one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pabs Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 well the brand new one was about £500+ if i remember rightly??? They went for a refurbed one - we've tested it and it does its job fine - i think the battery has probably seen better days now Anyway, i don't worry too much - i'm gonna convert them to a supra anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
