Whifbitz in crews hill, Enfield is where you wanna go mate, they consider themselves Supra guys.
You will see 400bhp so easily and its mega reliable.
If you like big 2 seaters, very good usable power and rwd, you cannot go wrong.

 

ive driven two twin turbo manuals and loved them. great cars that DO look good with the right big bodykits

 

I would love a Supra, one of th few Jap cars I like.

Watch these........

lol at 4th video

not that much more "lol" than at the other 3 tho

Cheers,

theyre lighter than skylines, 3000gt's , 300zx's etc - theyre the lightest jap gt coupe of that era, and it takes nothing to get more power from them.

its silly to compare them to cossies really.

 

im going jap...

fed up with old fords

 

I'd be suprised if you regret it.. I've driven a couple.. Standardish one and an imported 480bhp one.. I WILL own one. Enjoy!

 

no its not, becuase the guy has a cossy and has never driven a supra. and ther not ligter than r32's i didnt think. and the rx7 is ALOT lighter.
1600kg is very heavy wether its lighter than a nissan or not

 

a good friend of mine has had one four years fuel pump boost controller 100bhp of nos never ever broke down never used any oil goes like shit of a stick awesome car auto drives awesome

 

im surprised all these people like auto because auto just dont sell and they are like 3k cheaper than manual ones.

Im looking forward to getting it after all this talk lol.

I will have more fun de chaving it though. Where can i find a standard front bumper?

 

Very good cars, like them a lot!! One of the best looking affordable (ie - under 10k) sporty cars out there. As you say lose the big front bumper (ebay it and you'll get more than you think i reckon!!!). With resale I think hte UK spec ones command more money but if you're paying peanuts then thats irrelevant. My ex had a Supra and I seem to remember that standard parts arent cheap (being Toyota) and it was very juicy. Lovely sounding engines though and great to drive, although quite bulky.

I think most people are of the opinion that manuals will be more fun. That may be the case with many cars, but i know many people who 'thought' they wanted a manual until they drove the auto. Its such a nice box and is pretty much indestructable. Can take more power too. Im sure ive heard of people having the ratios changed on the auto box making it even better.

Most UK models will be auto and they command a good few grand more being of a much better spec. I know when i was looking for one, the Uk models were the first to be snapped up and almost every import that i phoned was still avaibale so i wouldnt base the price purely on those advertised at the moment mate. As said, they vary so much in price for similar cars. Problem with imports is that theres shit loads available and people advertise them for the a similar price as the UK models which is one of the main reasons why they struggle to shift them in my opinion.

 

well im seeing uk ones and imports around 9k as you say.

If i dont like it im going to put it 2k under that so i dont see having a problem.

Everyone ive spoken too wants a manual.

Its not the fact that its auto that makes them more money its the fact that they are uk. Autos are just not wanted by anyone as far as i can see. There are far less manual ones around for sale where ive looked.

Anyway should be good its something ive never had before and i like bringing cars back from the people that ruin them, Cant go wrong for that money. Ive spoke to trader friend of mine and they dont even come off the boat at that money so i cant go wrong.

 

So have you not bought it then?

 

i would want a manual.
if u have bought it are ther any pictures?

 

I like the Supra, but a lot of the "wow factor" has been taken away from them in the past couple of years.

I think I see it a bit like Fuzzy does. He says the Supra has had it's day, and whilst I don't quite agree, I definitely see what he's saying.

From when the MK4 Supra came out right up until just a few years ago really, there was very little that could touch it in it's price range in "all round" terms. Whereas now you've got a seemingly endless choice.

Still a good looking car IMO, some of the interior features do look very dated now, typically early '90s Jap. Although the way the dash swoops round is very cool in itself still IMO.

Also, whilst it has the big power (or potential for at least), it doesn't feel the amazing to drive compared to other cars. As has already been said it's definitely no lightweight, and does feel a little too "GT-ish".

As much as I like them, it's hard to justify buying one over a decent Scooby or Evo now for performance or driving experience.

 

Adrian is the bollocks wen it comes to jap tuning.

 

After all this messing about he cant find the logbbok, And even though he is my cousin I trust him about as far as i could throw him.

So until he finds the logbook i wont be buying, Could be a blessing in disguise as im very interested in a paticular 3 door on here.

 

If you're getting it at this stupidly low price and everyone's selling them for at least 2k more how come your cousin is lettin it go to you so cheap? Is he a bit thick or has he never looked in auto trader?

 

id assume theres a problem he's not declaring and he's trying to stitch you up.

 

not really a fan of them all tho a had one in the garage this week for a full respray and are really good cars with alot of reliable power but just not my cup of tea

looked well when done tho as was fitted with the big wide arch kit

 

its one of the few cars that suit the normally rediculous bodykits.

 

i think they look really good with the bodykits.

 

a thought the exact same

 

they do look good without the soiler.

 

The bodykit on that red one makes it look like the car is melting

 

Can not believe no one has posted this yet.

Very good vid of a Supra and Escort Cossie (similar power 450bhp IIRC)going at it on roads.

Supra looks pretty good in comparison

http://video.google.co.uk/videoplay?...44266198397342#

 

thats a good vid. the escort got in front after a risky junction manoeuvre but the supra effortlessly glided back in front.
310kph? about 190?

 

no its because he is rediculously stupid, There is no problem with the car, the head was rebuilt under 5k ago and the car has 15k in receipts.

However he is desperate for money and wants rid quick as he has chavved it up so much that normal people cant see past that.

ive seen it ben in it and would buy it strieght away if he had the logbook.

However he reckons his mum has lost it so we have no deal at the moment.

If the 3 door comes off then i might buy this aswell but i just dont trust him without the log book.

hes the lost of boy that would regret it and try and report it stolen or something.

 

It says they where both 450 but the supra was ment to be 650

 

why not apply for a new log book, or tell him too?

Cossie kept up with the supra well I thought on the straights considering its 2 cylinders less, prob doesnt rev as well and its 4wd!

 

thats quite nice

 

Great cars, but feel very big, and a lot less nimble than a Saph. The UK ones feel a lot quicker than imports as standard, but with a bit of fettling you've got a very fast car. Don't fear the auto box, as it kinda suits the nature of the car.

just found this badboy vid,ave a gander.

 

thats a beast.

 

Power figures seem a bit 'Suspect'

 

love this vid

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-piEjJMOEDs

 

a load of bollox like?

 

I like the supra and would have one over a sapphire on looks alone any day. I dont know what they are like to live with everyday though, MPG may be a bit crap but its a big 6 Cyl Turbo so, easy power. If the skyline GTS-t I drove is anything to go by a big jap car with a 6cyl is brilliant!

 

ford all the way lmao
