Importing A Supra Tt

[Iron Chef]

Ugh I could think of anything worse than an S Type Jag - tarted up Ford Mondeo...

[Ten Four]

^X Type jag is the mondeo, not S type..

Still, do not want.

Toyota 4l V8 much better.

But I'm a little bias for the 4.4l V8 out of an E39 540i..... (220+rwhp stocky, Americans love them - Superchargers)

Had one, loved it. Can be had for low to high teens depending on colour, mods and kms.

You seriously think about soarer and S-Type Jags (Social suicide buying any of them)

Just buy 1998 TOYOTA CHASER JZX100 and be done with it

Its Toyota and Import with decent looks

It got your 2.5 Turbo VVTI engine

Few Manuals available

and got 4 door and big boot

[Mr Eps]

hahaha - oi be nice maclaren!

they're not all bad =)

but yes it you're right it pretty well is social suicide buying one - everyone assumes you listen to Dr Dre and wear a hat backward..

personally i think JZX100 is also social suicide now - these cars are getting to be the new S13! aaaand also their interior is pretty ... crud.

If you think imports are expensive to maintain try looking after a V8 Jag,

Did. Was only slightly more expensive than my S14 thus far and had it four times as long. Reliability was absolutely no problem. Just don't go to Jaguar. Downshire Motors on Waverly Rd is way better and specialise in new Jags (got all the computer software etc.). $400 for a major (110,000Ks) that Jag wanted $2,200 for. Sold it 'cause I couldn't stand the auto; otherwise, great car.

Not recomending you go get a big, automatic, luxury sedan but, if you do feel so inclined...

sounds like a supra auto -> 6spd conversion.

Correct.

It actually shares a chassis with the Lincoln LS. Nothing to boast about but not a Mondeo (which was car of the year you may remember). They used the S-Type platform for the new XK and XF. The handling and rip your face off brakes suprised all passengers. They'd keep up with a good E46 anyday and probably outbrake all but an M3 (some serious anchors).

[Iron Chef]

Bah was thinking of the X-Type - Meh either way

Having said that, the new Jags are pretty decent.

[Mr Eps]

the jag you saw the other day and thought "man i don't see what's so special about jags":

...and the Japanese jaguar specialist tuning house J-complete's version of that car.

when i found out about these guys - i fell in love with jags

[Blitz_boy]

ew, that green one looks better.

[Ten Four]

Eps, you gotta show me your soarer. We looked at 3 today for mum and only one fit the bill, but then mum is hesitent cause it has 173kms on the clock, but drove best by far.....

[Ten Four]

BTW, she is more set on a V8 cause she wants all featuers... especially leather.

That gold one on the previous page, we saw one today (green) but it clunked going into drive, rest of it was good though.

[Mr Eps]

were selling one man, come around sometime next week i'll show you mine, and the one we're selling..

but honestly i wouldn't be so inclined to get a V8... emv system is too prone to failure, if i were your mum i'd be looking to a vvti late model 2JZ G-pack...

its not the V8 but full features but newer and without the "temperamental" features of the V8.. very economical too..

but yeah PM me and organise a time to come around next week

edit: 173km - thats nothing in terms of a V8.. the V8 soarers are mechanically reliable as an ox. it's just the electronic stuff i wouldn't trust!!!

pm'd.

Shes after a V8 cause its more sedate and has leatherrrrr

Oh and I'd prefer a V8 over a NA 2JZ

after looking around it seems that the 1jz-gte vvti ones are pretty much the best, too bad they're expensive.

[Mr Eps]

trust me

they are

I agree about the interior generally being average at best but i sure hope they don't become the new s13 although would be nice for a manual example to be reasonably priced

If you like that Jag, check this out:

S-Type

If you want bling, like Hummers and write "Only tasteful mods" in your carsales ads then maybe a Jag isn't for you. Great cars to drive though. And I'm not comparing them to a GTR, I'm comparing them to a V8 Lexslush. If you like the LS400 you'll like a modern Jag

[xALmoN]

jaguar, its an old person's car imo.

Lol at the bucket of ass, that has to be the worst Jag ive ever seen.

[Mr Eps]

personally i'd prefer a lexus... but only 2005 upward..

i'd own an SC430 before i'd have a lot of other cars!!!!

in further news, the other day i was looking at the intricate mods done on my car.. my fog lamps are from a jaguar XJR... wierd bloody japs..

edit: omg i just saw that car. what a bucket of spew.
