eh Supra

[badinfluenceRS]

Found a possible replacement for my camaro :cry:

And noticed it has 4.10 gears to a manual trans...I thought this was pretty high considering the gears in our cars.

Do toyota gears work the same as GM? or does GM just put small gears in cars. I thought 4.10's were really high for a stock gear ratio...

Most four bangers will have gear ratios over 4.00...

Re: eh Supra

Supra is an inline six. If it has 4.10's then it is either not a stock rear and/or gears. How much is it? How many miles? For a well equipped last generation supra you should be paying in the mid 20's to low 30's, if it's really cheap there's a problem.

Not unless we're talking about a 89 with over 100k miles.

This is true, in which case you would just be buying it to say I own a supra but would be too embarrased to show it to friends or family.

The 88-89 Turbo'd Supra's came with somewhere in the lower to mid 200's for HP. Not sure if it is wheel/crank.

Re: eh Supra

It's a 83 stick, I6 (rated 150hp/160tq)

It's $300 and it needs an Ignitor (I found a used one online for $50), I'm going tomorrow to look at it. 200K on body, 40K on drivetrain.

They did come with 4.10s stock tho

Re: eh Supra

didn't know that. Well If you have access to Gran Turismo according to them the car has serious potential, they can even make them look good. Personally I wouldn't but if you need a beater then that sounds good. Def underrated if you want to tune on it.

I know that.

Re: eh Supra

They kinda remind me of old porsche's, being a Supra and with all those damn tuners, I'm sure it would have a decent resale value once fixed up.

Anyways, I think it's the "best possible" replacement for the maro for under $500 and I just thought it was wierd that it had such a high stock ratio...

Its not really that wierd.. if you've only got a little bit of power you need those short gear ratios to make it go fast.. thats what i was trying to say by bringing up the 4 bangers.

Re: eh Supra

Not RWD generally, in FWD it's not uncommon to see some step up to a total final ratio of 4.6x's and there are some aftermarket kist that step up to almost 5.xx

Re: eh Supra

Re: eh Supra
