Red face Hai Guys! :) IM Looking to get a Sexy Supra, MKIV...help?..

Hey, actually im not looking to get it... its a misson for me to get it lol.
im in Canada.. so were "allowed" to get em now .. 93's.
And i have wanted one for a while.
1st i wanted a 300zx but thats like 3 tons and the engine is packed.
Anyways im looking to get an RHD Twinn Turbo.. this is a stupid question though.. automatic would be the best but i highly doubt its easy to find a auto Twinn Turbo, is that right ? ( someone told me that.. ).

Anyways.. really want one.. would love if i could hear from someone whos imported before.

I got buddies who own a Skyline Shop out here and can import it for me .. but that would cost me more wouldnt it?
Anyways help & more quotes would be killer.
Oh and some sites that are good. ive already looked at Tyee2Imports .

Thanks guys. Really hope i can learn a hell of alot more bout the MKIV

A TT is best, but not necessarily an auto. It depends on what you want to do with it. For roadracing, autocross, etc a 6spd is best. An auto is only best for drag racing.

Unfortunately, I've never imported one so hopefully some of the other members here will chime in.

In the meantime, if you have any other questions about the Supra itself, please feel free to post them.

Well i mean i know that autos are a bitch to fix when it comes to tranny problems.
But i dont know yet what i will do to the car.. if anything ... because supras...especially RHD are so rare at this moment in BC, ill keep it clean and for show psossibly.. and take it to the track a few times.( drag ) Ill do the brains before beauty obv. But if anything... it will be drifting ill get it into.

For drifting, a 6spd is far better than an auto.

It's because you can select the gear you need to use to leave a corner, in advance of hitting the corner. The driver (i.e. you) get to pick the gear you're in ahead of time. There's really no good way to do this with an (oem) auto, since it doesn't always shift up or down exactly when you want it to - the computer controlling the valve body picks the gear you're in, depending on the engine rpm, load, and a whole host of other factors.

I haven't imported one yet, but I've been talking with importers for 2 years (i'm from Canada too) so if you have any questions, just ask! I can certainly answer most of them!

P.S to Phil: I see that you're still the supra-knowledge god

Honestly buying & selling Mkiv's isn't my strongest suit. I bought one from Toyota, and never sold it!

I do have a few questions for you and/or the importers you talk with:
1) Did the '02 Mkiv TT come in a quicksilver 6spd hardtop?
2) If so, what would it cost to get one of these specific cars into Canada?

Thanks in advance!

sadly you can't import a 2002 in Canada, the law states that a car have to be 15 years old, so it will be possible to import a 2002 only in (2002+15) = 2017

sorry!
