learn to drive before you get behind the wheel of a 320hp animal.

when you have more years driving experience THEN think about converting to or buying a turbo otherwise the supra will just end up in a dismantlers after you write it off and it goes thru turners D.V.A.

Jesus at 16 I could'nt even afford a car it was beat the feet for me but yeah the TT is a bit of monster to drive so yeah cut your teeth in a NA then move on up.I've learnt the hard way in my TT high speed spin and your just a passenger and all of a sudden it brings your driving abilities crashing back down to earth.. :oops:

yeah, thanks for the advice, I think I need to drill it into my head that I'm not ready for a TT.

I dunno what the level of competition is like at autocross's down your way, but up here it's pretty high, there is some pretty quick cars and likewise quick drivers, combined that is a super quick combination.

Driving my Fiance's n/a auto JZA80, std apart from pod filter, and the addition of some 225/50/16 Toyo semi slicks (off my rx7) I'm a regular top 5 finisher. When you can achieve similar then you'll be ready for a TT. until then concentrate on honing your driving and get some track time if possible. They are a highly capable car if you use them right.

I might see you there I'll give you a good look at what your in for.I've pretty much set mine up as a Faststreeter/track-day car done suspension brakes and a few tricks with the ECU set-up and all the good-stuff when it comes to BPU mods and mines a Auto TT also.Thats what I think the strength of these cars are manual or auto you don't need to do alot to get heaps.
