jaymdee Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 FWIW, if you do find a UK Supra TT manual for £5K, be prepared to have to spend £3K on it, as parts will be starting to wear out. As with any high performance vehicle, if you're 'scraping' the purchase costs together, then I'd wait till you can afford the odd thousand here and there on unexpected garage bills. What about general running costs like petrol (18-20mpg), tyres @ £300 per axle every 8000 miles etc J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarkey Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 about the tyres, i can get them cheaper, i can get 265/45/19 for 250 fitted What brand of tyre ? Don't skimp on tyres mate. The results can be ........ very unpleasant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Epic Posted September 1, 2007 Author Share Posted September 1, 2007 How many miles can you get from a full tank and how much is a full tank? my mates skyline does 220miles @ £55 full tank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveK Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 How many miles can you get from a full tank and how much is a full tank? my mates skyline does 220miles @ £55 full tank My NA is similar with short journeys / town driving. Longer journeys I think it manages about 300. Costs about the same as that to fill up I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaymdee Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 I get 240 miles to £66 V-Max. Mixed town driving and dual carriageway. Can get upto 300 miles to a full tank if all motorway cruising. Yeah, I have a relatively heavy right foot, no point in having a Supra and watching the fuel economy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
