Toyota questions

do any of the members know how much of a power hike both the manual and auto drivetrains of the Supra twin turbo will take before they need uprating/replacing?

any help appreciated.
thanks.

AFAIK they are both pretty much bombproof and will take obscene amounts of power.

Good idea to ask Worthy as I think he has one. I'd imagine the 6 speed getrag is bulletproof.

the manual box is a getrag?
i didn't know that but i'm more than aware how tough they are.

Manual - with a uprated clutch will hold just about anything you can throw at it.

Auto- Also a very strong box but you may want to look at extra cooling for it past 400rwhp and if you going mad 600+ rwhp then you may want to look at a boostlogic box the standard one will handle 600+ for a while but will probably go pop eventually

while we are talking about toyotas. Do you know anyone who owns a Toyota starlet gt?

I love them and i really, really want one. I was wondering what insurance group they come under, what sort of mpg do they get?

yup both will hold huge hp but your best off upgrading to a TRD LSD when you go past bpu as the stock isn't that good anyway

not this time amigo.
a friend of mine wants to know what kind of upgrade he can get for around £2.5k.seems like he's relatively free to spend the lot on engine and brake mods.
