1994 Toyota Supra TT 6 Speed 410bhp 3.0 twin turbo straight 6

Summary:

Watch the Fast and the Furious, you'll get the idea!!

Faults:

Nothing at all. These cars are built like Volvo 850's!! i.e. tanks.

Don't get me wrong, cars have problems if you buy a bad one, but these cars are generally bulletproof :)

General Comments:

Being reviewed is my recently acquired '94 Supra Twin Turbo 6 speed with UK spec brakes all round.

Generally the car's amazing, it's highly sought after in the 6 speed, and if you can afford to modify them tastefully, you'd be astounded how much these cars can ruin a Porsche owner's life for the whole split second you fly past him in only 4th!

My car was carefully sourced, very low mileage, colour dark red, and mainly a 6 speed gearbox.

These cars are fetching £10k plus now, due to the gearboxes being so rare, and the twin turbo factory cars becoming rare as well.

There's a few that are converted to big single turbos or high output twin turbos, so you have a vast choice indeed.

These Supras can withstand 700bhp on the standard internals, and the turbos can take 450bhp unless you have the steel internal turbos, which can take up to 600bhp.

My car is running 412bhp with only slight mods at the moment, and is so fast it's indescribable. I have UK spec brakes, a very rare twin polished Apexi induction kit, facelift lights, veilside split rims and more. It's the performance I love really, because I love embarrassing 911s and Lotus Exiges, it's so fun :)

The presence of these cars is like that of a Ferrari.. very wide car, staggered wheels, intoxicating colours, and the sound when the turbo spools is spine tingly.

The ride is very comfortable, unless you've upgraded to full coilovers like mine, which sacrifices ride height and comfort a tad, but it's worth it for the TVR handling round bends.

Reliability is this car's real name, and Toyota's for that matter. Reasonable to service, and it's very rare that anything goes wrong unless you're stupid and negligent.

Only down side to these cars is the FUEL; if you like your money and good mileage, don't buy this car, and if you feel slightly insecure or don't like standing out, don't buy this car.

Not sure what else I can really say, unless you'd rather watch the original review by Tiff Needell, but I love my Toyota Supra, and when I have my big HKS twin turbos put in, this car's setup should be in the 700bhp territory.

P.s if you buy one, buy a manual haha :) Don't be lazy.

The Fast and Furious movies are the dumbest movies ever made. An enjoyable summer popcorn watch however. As far as cars go, there were far too many inaccuracies in those movies! The laws of physics just did not apply!

Anyways, it made the already famous Supra more famous, and that can only be a good thing. Never owned one, but rode in a friend's Supra once, what a stunning car, good review, glad you like it.

1994 Toyota Supra SZ 3ltr

Summary:

Brilliant, reliable, affordable, masterpiece

Faults:

Nothing apart from brake pads.

General Comments:

The car is superb, I have had much pleasure from driving her, and no problems at all. For a standard 3ltr I was very suprised at how fast it actually was, and very impressed about cornering etc. The dealer service is the best I have ever known and all the rest of the garages have got a lot to look up to (Southampton Toyota). The only thing I would change would be having one with a removable roof and maybe a twin turbo version. Love it.

1994 Toyota Supra Twin Turbo 3.0 turbo petrol

Summary:

Mega performance but at a price

Faults:

Nothing! It is mega reliable!

General Comments:

Super performance, super looks, excellent backup although authorised dealers are limited.

The performance is effortless but when you drive hard the turbos drink petrol at a furious rate which will make your head spin!

Well, fuel economy was not my concern when I bought my MKIV in 94. Now that fuel in the US is nearly what it was in the mid-80's in Europe, I'm wondering how much it will get driven. I've made some mods to the computer, not a chip, but rather changing a few resitor values to up the boost cut controller, increase the rev limit and to remove the 155 MPH speed limiter without losing traction control. I get about 5 miles to the gallon when I drive it hard... but boy is it ever FUN to blow away the ultimate driving vehicle and the "Best Germany had to offer"

I Used to have a Corvette, but now I'm getting a Supra TT. They are more comfortable, use less fuel and are easier to drive. Don't get me wrong I love Corvettes, they look and sound great, but Left hand drive is a pain and they aren't as well built.

That last guy who quoted figures from BMW. where does he get off? these cars all cost over €50,000. how can you compare both? I don't know why people have to make silly statistical comments. I drive a Lexus Aristo Twin Turbo (which is for sale by the way) and I have blown and I mean blown 2003 330ci BMW's off the road. Comparing cars in much different price brackets is like comparing an R1 to a VTi civic... no sense. thanks.

What you guys seem to forget is that the tuning potential of the Supra, which can achieve well over 1000 BHP. A simple ECU remap will blow anything, get your facts straight.
