The time has come to let my Non Turbo, Auto with Areodeck roof go. I hope its next owner will love it as I have. Why is it going? Nothing to do with the car more like the oil barons and the UK Petrol Tax. For a 3 litre sports hatch this has got to be one of the most economical, returning 25mpg on normal everyday usinge cheap fuel and whilst I have had 34mpg out of it I felt like a prat doing 55mph up the A1. My trip to work is now costing £100 per week and despite the thoroughly enjoyable ride...

Had a MK 4 Silver 3.0 Supra Auto(non turbo). It's the 'fast and the furious' shape. Always wanted one from being 16. I found the performance wasn't as amazing as I'd thought. I had a BMW 325i e36 before and that was incredible and felt much quicker than the Supra. The power in the Supra is very progressive rather than 'in your face' straight away. I found I often ran out of road and it was still pulling! Had no major issues apart from central locking opening both doors but only locking the...

In April 1997, I didn't have enough money to buy the brand new Audi TT so I bought a black manual transmission Toyota Supra with 6 miles on it (California Smog Legal). It's August 2008 and I have 170,000+ miles on it and the car still runs great! Nothing major ever breaks so I'm still waiting for things to break so that I can start upgrading it.

I owned my Toyota Supra MK4 for 8 years, covering 120,000 miles in it. It was 10 years old (150,000 miles) when I sold it, and was still a stock UK TT Auto. Everything still worked, the leather was still good and I used the car as my everyday transport, every week it would carry me around, with a bike in the back etc...

The MK IV Toyota Supra is arguably the best value super car ever made. Performance in standard, trim is excellent, and with performance modifications/enhancements, can be made electrifying (claims of 1000+ BHP have been made, and in some cases, can be backed up by dyno results).

Just one comment on SupraTT's comment from above. He wrote:
The J-spec as it is known, has the differences in the original review, plus it has more low end torque and ceramic turbo blades which make the turbos spool quicker. This makes the car quicker at low end speeds, because in Japan all cars have limiters which limit the car to 112 mph.

Err, I have lived in Japan for the past 5 years and have owned a Pulsar GTiR, 3 FD RX7s, an R32 GTR, an EVO3, and EVO6, and an RZ Supra. ALL of these cars have had the (legally required) 180km/h (112mile/hour) speed limiter. They are quite easy to overide with an aftermarket computer or 'speed de-limiter' put in series between the computer and harness, but the faxct is EVERY CAR made in Japan for the Japan market has a 180km/hr speed limiter.

I've had my '94 UK twin turbo for 12 months and still never tire of looking at it. I'm thinking of upgrading to stage 2 (giving a 380bhp output) as the car does seem to perform better in lower temperatures. Therefore an induction kit should help that. I paid a little over 10k for a car that is perhaps the equal IN PERFORMANCE of any M3, NSX or non-turbo PORCHE 911-cars costing 3 or 4 times the price. I own an auto, but understand that the manuals are slightly faster, although UK manuals are as rare...

The Toyota Supra is mainly for people who like to live life to the edge, lol.
Japanese version of the Supra is tweaked at 280 Hp (according to toyota's released figures). American and UK versions are tweaked at 320 Hp and 420 Nm Torque. Make sure you buy the twin turbo version (much more fun to drive).
If you're looking for a good body kit, I recommend something from the Bomex range. Sparco and Cobra make great racing seats for supras.
The standard equipment is superb. Comes with ABS...

<br>I have a Mk IV Supra with a full Veilside bodykit. Uprated turbos, dump valves, more dials than you can shake a stick at, infact there isn't much of the original car left. Only the stereo, which is next on my list. If anyone has any ideas of how to upgrade that with something decent while keeping some boot space I would be pleased to hear.

1300 HP? you'd blow the engine skyhigh before you even hit 700???
Written on: 28/02/2003
What you have to understand is that the only reason they did that much power was to get to top speeds. Land speed records. that 1300hp supra, believe it or not, didn't even hold the record in its class. It came second. It would be impossible to drive that thing on the street because it would have to have a completly different transmition. Not one thats only suitable for top speeds. There are limitations that come with added horses. Thanks

The Twin Turbo Mark IV Supra ('93+) is just an amazing car, but this guy is likely a fan-boy who's read a lot about them on the internet, and is a bit too excited about the car. Extremely rare in the US (with later production runs between 1600 and 1300 each year), this car isn't easy to find, but has increadible power and handling; moreover it is very reliable (unlike the previous Mk III, which would eat Head Gaskets as breakfast-snacks). It's a daily driver that gets looks and can outperform the vast majority of road-cars.

You are right, Americans can't make cars for nothing. I am an American, never would I buy American cars. They can't make cars that you can actually drive practically. Oh, drag racing...blah, blah, blah. They only know how to build cars with big ass engines for drag racing. Wait a minute, what about handling. Forget it, American cars are not made to turn. Hahaha. American cars not reliable and their transmission... my god, don't even mention the transmission. They suck!

For your information chevvyman, the fastest road legal car in the world is a mclaren F1 which tops out at 255MPH and does 0-62 in 3.2 secs. The mclarens exhaust system which costs £50,000 alone is more expansive then that heap of american metal your on about!

I bought my very own supra not long ago. A 97 (facelift) 3.0 non turbo auto. Not the most powerful supra on the road but still... 220bhp for a non turbo car just blows my mind every time I drive the thing, its a beast. I agree that american cars are useless, when I bought my Supra I originally went to the showroom to look at Mustang convertable but once there I found myself spending more time hovering around the supra than the Mustang. I instantly fell in love with the thing and test drove it and bought it the same day.

Before I made my mind up to buy a Toypota MK IV Supra, I test drove everything from the Audi TT and Subaru Impreza Turbo to the 300zx and M3 EVO BMW (which felt slightly light on the back when putting the power down coming out of tight bends). The first time I drove a Supra I was hooked and couldn't help but be impressed with the thing. Ok, so you can't accelerate on full-lock round a mini-roundabout in 4" or rain quite as well as the 4WDs, but this pails into insignificance the first time you take...

Excellent review.
<br>The only thing I would like to point out is the power of the Japanese Spec Supra TT has been underated by Toyota to pass strict BHP competition laws in Japan.
<br>Which states that no manufacturer can claim BHP figures of above 280bhp, this is to stop a trade war.
<br>The J-spec as it is known, has the differences in the original review, plus it has more low end torque and ceramic turbo blades which make the turbos spool quicker. This makes the car quicker at low end speeds, because in Japan all cars have limiters which limit the car to 112 mph.
<br>This gives the UK spec and J-spec Supras similar performance figures.
<br>If you do look to buy a Supra, I would advise the UK spec for insurance reasons, but don't over look the J-specs especially the RZ-S which is the options car.
Written on: 24/06/2002
I was unaware that the Supra TT was released in the UK. I thought they were all imported from Japan. Where can you get hold of UK spec Twin Turbos?
Written on: 10/07/2002
Mike,
<br>The UK-spec Supra is now a very rare beast indeed. They were only sold throughout the UK between mid 93 to mid 96 and somewhere in the region of 300-400 were sold in total. Thus, very good low mileage examples of a UK-spec tend to command a bit more money. That said, the points in the previous review re. the J-spec Supra are all very valid comments so don't disregard the J-spec. There are now 1000s of them in the country so there are a lot of good cars out there to choose from. Just make sure you do your research on the options available with all the different models as the J-spec car had quite a few variations. All UK versions were twin-turbo and fitted with every feature available, as standard (except removable roof panel which you will find on some of the J-spec cars). The only options available on a UK car were Colour, Auto/6sp-manual. I sourced mine through a wanted add I'd placed on findit.co.uk. You will occasionally spot them on the Autotrader web site and most tend to make a song-and-dance about the fact if it's a UK car. Unfortunately though, most of the UK cars you see now are fairly leggy and that's because they make such good motorway mile-munchers over here. In Japan they don't tend to do the mileage. Still, I found mine tucked far away in Crief, Scotland and it had only done 11k since new in June 96, so they are out there.... Best of luck! Ade.
Written on: 13/06/2004
I agree entirely with the comments here...as a UK spec searcher myself, I have recently test driven a UK and Jap import (both on the same day). The UK car was in another league in terms of cabin noise (Bilstein suspension), turbo noise (bigger injectors and turbo), and refinement...oh and it also had twice the mileage of the Jap version, so don't believe the mileage claims...take a test drive always!
<br>
<br>A great website to check is http://www.supras.co.uk/imports/differences.htm for an easy to follow comparison table - there you'll see that the UK spec is plain better than the Jap version. Also, UK cars have Cruise, Airbags and Rollcages (apparently). With a Jap import, you'll lose out on Active Front Spoiler and Air Intake Scoop on the front bonnet.
<br>
<br>Mileage on UK cars tend to be high (90k+), whereas most Jap cars CLAIM to be 60k (hmmm I could buy a kit from Halfords for £30 and wind mine back!).
<br>
<br>I have found a couple of UK spec cars on Autotrader, but they appear overpriced for a 10 yr old car. Good luck if you find a good example, but don't pay more than £8k for a high mileage UK spec (regardless of the sellers chat about how rare the things are and how you won't find another).
<br>
<br>Good Luck! D

I have a Toyota Supra 3.0l twin turbo. Superchip, Boost valve, Induction Kit, HKS SuperDragger Exhaust system. 380 BHP.
Very easy to modify and NOT expensive. Superchip conversion adds about 28% BHP costs aroud £400. Taking standard 320bhp to around 360bhp. Looks and sounds amazing. Keep your M3's, Audi TT's, Porche Boxter's, and Imprezza's...none come close. Buy a Supra, have it de-restricted and superchipped...you'll have a car that will do 0-60 in under 4.6 secs and run close to 180mph....

I'm thinking of upgrading to stage 2 as you seem to have done. You mention the 0-60 time at around 4.6 seconds - however do you find that extra power sometimes spins the wheels too much. Other than this the gains sound impressive.

As a prior owner of a Mk-III Supra Turbo, I can understand the love. You can't truly love a Supra until you own one (sorry) because it will be a committed relationship. I gave my Supra to my son for his high school graduation. This way, I could still have it as part of my life. Your Supra will give you a lot (turned heads, admiring glances, and conversation, as well as pretty good performance) but it will expect much in return. Although equipped with a bullet-proof engine and tranny, many of your other components will require tender loving care form the most highly-qualified mechanics only. These things can be a nightmare to work on so you better know what you are doing. Supra engines take on power additives like they were steroids and return enormous hp gains with increases in boost pressure. Now you really have a beast named Audrey when you do that so take care not be eaten alive! Get one and enjoy the ride!
