how_supra Posted October 22, 2006 Author Share Posted October 22, 2006 Yeah around £500 for a new one. My car was on its 3rd refurbed alternator [4th in total] though in 9 months. Best keep an eye on the voltage. You need a nissan Micra battery, about £42. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blitz supra Posted October 22, 2006 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 You were unlucky, I had mine 3 1/2 years and was faultless. Would buy another to be honest.......... BRILLIANT CAR In "some" respects as a every day driver .. better than my Supra More comfortable and more space... and a boot But both cars have their plus and minus points to be honest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blitz supra 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! C/Locking Common prob on FTO Just replace motor for aftermarket motor Maplins do them as direct fit did both mine... end of Batteries are known to be to small (as are all Jap battaries Just take a look at a RAV4 one, seen bigger motorbike ones) Replace it with a heavy duty Nissan Micra one... If battery is knackered explains why your Alternator was probably killed to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh jeez, did I say that out loud http://youtube.com/watch?v=M1HBD-I8OVk Thanks for the input Off thread again ..... was bound to happen I know lets bring in another NA put down... oh so boring.. Anyway "back to the Thread" and Sabrinas Supra NA, and how really please she is with it AND EVERYONE BEING SO PLEASED FOR HER Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 Off thread again ..... I know lets bring in another NA put down... oh this is so entertaining boring.. Anyway "back to the Thread" and Sabrinas Supra Mate, by biting at every mention of the NA not being as good as the TT, you are really showing a major inferiority complex. It reminds me of "methinks he protests too much". At the end of the day the Supra NA is an inferior version of the Supra when compared to the TT. Of that there can be no question.

Homer Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 Had a drive of Sabrina's car today and got to say its just superb! Its in great condition inside and out, suspension feels nice and planted, engine is smooth as silk and the gearbox is one of the nicest 6spd's I've driven. Only downside (and it is a really minor one) was the brakes are a little spongey, probably could do with some new fluid or some beter pads... I'm sure that'll be sorted soon Shame about the flat though Hope you got home okay! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not biting, its just plain boring, think of something new I think you guys would get a little p'd off with it. Playground taunting If i wanted a TT i would get one tomorrow and probably insure it for £1000+ less than most, but I chose the NA as do thousands of others, so give it a rest, It makes the sniping look stupid Do you see NA owners chipping in every thread ... no Supra club ..

So would you prefer all us NA owners ... leave this club and forum So you can have your own club as we drive inferior cars ... I have no complex, Enjoy my car as do others and joined a Supra club.

blitz supra Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 Like I said...it just looks as if you have a massive chip on your shoulder As i have said 1000's of times no chip I'm not the one making constant NA put downs (luckily in a minority not a majority) Basically you (not you personally) are continually putting down other "members " cars constantley Anyway this is Sabrinas thread, not some NA /TT arguement, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 So would you prefer all us NA owners ... leave this club and forum No - just one or two of the more silly ones ... as we drive inferior cars ... Finally an admission I have no complex, I suggest you read back on your posts and rethink that last statement Enjoy my car as do others and joined a Supra club. Or so i thought !!!

CJ Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 Sorry Sabrina It was a nice thread about your nice new car, But as usual here we go NA put downs to spoil a thread and now lets try and have a arguement with someone and try and feel superior I can't be bothered...... Firstly, if you would care to look back in the htread I had already praised Sabrina about her car. In fact, I was one fo the first memebrs to see it when she picked it up so please, don't get on your high horse and try to make out I have spoiled her thread. Secondly, if you weren't so easy to wind up with such an obvious inferiority complex, then the threads would not deteriorate into slagging matches. Do you see any other NA owners responding as you do? Now then, instead of whingeing that the big boys are picking on you why don't you grow up and take the banter for what it is.
