egrossi Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 Hi to all you supra lovers like myself been drulling since I saw one in a toyota garage years ago . Now thank god I've sold my second car and want a Supra so bad guys and girls I'm pining. Due to house commitments I'm going to get a non Turbo manual or auto not sure. Was hoping you guys could help me please I'm not sure what I do ie I'm a manual guy normally but seen some lovely auto's just scared of the transmission going wrong or the repair bills, you never know. Please help me or advice would be most appreciated on manual or auto, in my research manuals seem harder to find than auto's however just getting inpatient at mo. Sorry for this thread being to long but am well looking forward to plenty of threads and meeting ya'll at some meets. Hope to hear from ya'll soon.

I'm assuming that this is NA and not a TT. I would ignore the mileage unless they can guarantee it. Whats the serive history like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
egrossi Posted November 5, 2006 Author Share Posted November 5, 2006 As always told it comes with its history. At this time not gone there to view or test drive and don't really want to convert to auto but due to budget hard to find a manual non turbo with less than 60,000 miles unless you guys can point me in the right direction. Guys was also told auto in non turbos is a better drive and not alot in it from man is this true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest phat wheels Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 I've had an auto NA, now own a manual NA. Of the two, my money's on the manual for much quicker acceleration, control and fun in general! Having said that, my partner's TT auto beats both hands down. Whatever you get, you'll love it. Good luck with your purchase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck with your purchase. Welcome mate Yep the Manual is faster and more fun However the Auto is a nice drive, After my Tip FTO a manual can be a pain sometimes but thats me just being lazy. Either Man or Auto are fine you'll enjoy the Supra with either in so wouldn't worry if i was you, Although you may find Auto is a lot worse on mpg if you like the kick down..

Clarkey Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 Strange, I have never heard of a manual owner converting to an Auto Indeed. For sure, when you upgrade to single turbo - already having a manual box helps. No need for an uprated box or a hi-stall converter. All you need is a decent clutch.
