Hi again.

Once again, my sincerest thanks for the fast response. Great to see someone is taking their time reality checking a newbie on a forum this size

Anyway, everything costs, so it seems like I?ll have to purchase a RHD and just have to live with the steering wheel being on the wrong side... Well, that?s life... Since it?s a Supra, I believe it will be worth it

One more thing, here where I live, the only petrol available from the gas stations is unleaded octane 95... I remember this being a bit unlucky when I had my '06 WRX, since the manual clearly stated the car should only run on octane 98. Should this affect anything on which model-year I choose to purchase?

At oem boost levels (11.5psi) you'll be fine with 95, as long as the 95 is either motor octane or (r+m)/2. If 95 is the research octane, then you may have to drive out of your area to find some 'real' fuel to run it...

NB: Please consider posting any help requests in a new thread instead of asking me for help privately. About 99.9+% of the time, private help requests end up covering great information that could be very valuable to other forum members. If you have a good reason for needing the help request to be private, I'll consider it. If not, then why not give everyone else the opportunity to pitch in too, and/or learn from the information? Remember, there's no such thing as a dumb question. We're all here to help within this family of Supra owners.

Tordur,

Being in Okinawa I have a 94 TT 6 speed Supra - the right hand drive is not hard to get used to. The car itself is far superior to anything I've driven before (including R32 and R33 GTR Skylines). I think you are making a wise choice purchasing the Supra - it sucks that you have to pay such a high price for taxes. I can look around here for MSRP tags - no promises. The language barrier is quite difficult. I bought mine for 11,800 USD used. I don't know how much they are new.
I'll let you know what I can find,

Victor

Allright, great. I?ll check what kind it is, Thanks a lot And by the way, its not an option for me to "Drive out of my area" since I live on a group of Islands in the Nortern Atlantic Sea...
