welcome mate.

personally id go for a v too. but i am also biased.

i am only 22 and i managed to get insurance on my v for only £1380. that quote was the same for elephant and admiral. i found alot of places wont quote you until you are over 25 im afraid.

good luck with the hunting though

I have a modified IV but if I was to get one today I would go for a white 7 or 8. However I also promised myself one day I would own a Tommy Makinen special. Check them out . A freind of mine was bang into Evos before me and he always goes on about them

Hi and welcome to the club

Good luck with the search and the quotes.

An engine for the supra?? They don't normally go wrong! What happened?

Nothing's wrong, just on a quest for more power , mines an NA for my sins, a very low mileage TT engine was delivered last week

I've got a TT engine and r154 gearbox from a mark 3 supra going in as they are alot stronger than the NA manual box from the mkiv

I've done a few quotes now, but still pretty extortionate! I'll keep on the hunt for cheaper insurance though

Welcome!

My mate had a TM in red, stunning car!

Ah, I see. You going to sell the manual box Rob? I might be tempted as thinking of getting me Dad a gs300 but he doesn't like auto's!! So I thought I might convert one into a manual for him. He can't complain about the box then

I will be but it wont be a complete conversion.

It'll basically be the w58 box, clutch and flywheel, clutch slave and starter.

I'm only using half of my prop as I need to match up half a prop from a R154 and the other half from a mkiv. I'm not entirely sure if you could do the same and use the auto diff? If you could you'd basically need a clutch pedal , clutch master and clutch line/flexi but obviously you may find your final drive a bit out

Depending on what year GS you buy, you could take my engine ecu and loom to as its a 5-speed but not entirely sure if the GS and NA Supra uses the same loom, I've got a feeling theres a few difference's

I need to do some homework on this and find out what needs changing.

Good luck with the conversion though. Did you get a complete tt engine?

Thanks mate

I bought a tt engine minus the turbos and inlet from JM Imports, luckily a very good mate of mine is going for big power so he's forged his engine and is having a custom intake and big twins fitted, so I've bought what he don't use which gives me a complete TT engine then, all I need is a engine loom and TT throttle cable and I'm there.

That was before I bought the R154 box though so it won't be installed until I've got all the correct bits for that which will be another month or two now

I'm hoping to get an evo in january now as I want to keep the supra for myself and use the evo to run my little one and the other half about

 

[m7gsr]

Good stuff. Will be good once it's all complete.

You will fall in love with your evo when you get it.

Keeps us posted on your progress

Yes, there are a few differences between the two and it will involve a lot of headache converting the car over.
