Change of plan - no longer for sale.
It is with a very heavy heart that my beloved Supra goes up for sale. Please read the whole add before messaging, and please keep any negative comments to yourself.
Genuine UK manual Supra, owned by myself since 2006 with 152k miles. Full body restoration in 2018 addressing some rust and with a full glass-out respray including refurbishing the alloys in a gun metal grey.
Originally owned by Formula 1 driver Ukyo Katayama, with log book to prove. While file of paperwork from the years.
I started on a conversion to single turbo but got slowed down by the pandemic, and then completely stopped with a new baby arriving last July. The car is currently mid-conversion and so undriveable but has everything needed to complete, as below.
To complete it needs the fuel lines finishing, inlet manifold re-assembling, the ECU and associated sensors wiring in, and then a mapping session. So not a lot of work or money to complete. This has everything needed for 600+bhp.
Current spec:
- Rota GTR 18” wheels, 8.5” front, 9.5” rear with Goodyear Eagle F1 Assymetric tyres all round
- Blitz Nur Spec exhaust
- Whifbitz 3” decat pipes
- Whifbitz FMIC
- Recaro confetti seats
- OS Giken TS2CD, full overhaul kit fitted in 2014 and covered less than 6k miles
- Front calipers overhauled 2019 with genuine Toyota kit
- Rear light clear indicator conversion
- Facelift headlights
- Facelift clear front indicators
- Clear side repeaters
- Innovate LM-1 wideband sensor and LMA-3 aux box

- PHR Street Torque Kit; PHR log manifold, Precision 6266 0.81A/R turbo, Precision 46mm wastegate
- Whifbitz Top Feed Fuel Rail
- ID1050X injectors with PnP tails
- Braided fuel lines for the top feed rail and removal of fuel damper
Not yet fitted:

- Burna's Link ECU 3D printed covers
- Walbro 455 Fuel Pump
- Fuel Pressure regulator with gauge
- Most of a full Genuine Toyota head gasket kit
Also comes with:
- The entire stock twin turbo system
- A complete genuine standard exhaust minus the rear cat as it started blowing
- A spare 2.5” rear decat pipe that I was planning on getting fitted with a cat for MOTs
- The active spoiler set up that was removed to fit the FMIC
The bad bits:
- The Recaro’s are tatty and in need of new foam and a re-trim
- The dashboard panels could do with stripping and re-coating, they’re not awful though
- The gear stick gaitor/trim isn’t original and doesn’t fit well
- The front bumper has some damage around the driver-side headlight washer where my mates car rolled in to it
- There are signs of the paint bubbling slightly on the sills under the doors
- The rear lights have a tendency to mist up and need re-sealing
- The rear steel part of the front subframe is rotten through, but the car comes with a brand new one to fit
The engine oil has been changed every 3000 miles or annually depending on which has come sooner, for many years this has been annual as it hasn’t covered many miles at all. Spark plugs were always changed at the same time with NGK coppers to the correct heat rating and gapping. The original radiator was replaced a couple of years ago with once from Chris Wilson that is very similar to the original design. The cam belt has been changed as required (I have invoices for the work) and at the last change the front main seal was replaced too. The water pump has also been replaced during my ownership, probably about ten years ago.
I’ve owned this car for nearly 15 years and am very attached to it. My situation means I could do with selling it, but I am fully aware of how rare it is and so ask that you do not make offers. The asking price is the asking price, I will not be swayed. If it doesn’t sell I’ll try and sell one of my poorly functioning kidneys instead.
The car is in East Sussex for viewing, obviously once coronavirus restrictions allow. You will obviously need to trailer the car away.
