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 |

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.

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.

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!
