  1. Cheers! Yes prices have definitely gone up. Although budget is less of a problem. Its more that I want to make it my own rather than worrying around original parts/matching numbers etc. Although those that know me hopefully know the car will look the part and likely be and OEM+ look.
  2. Hi All, After many years away (and a decade since I joined the club!) I’ve given in to the urge. Let me know what you have, it can be a full restoration/project car or something that is running but is worse for wear. Can be a NA, TT, manual or auto. Only prerequisite is no aero tops. Cheers, Adam
  3. You are searching for a setup that I also looked into for quite a long time. Although I never got the opportinunity to complete the build I did learn a lot and got some great advice on parts to search. Appreciate this advice may be a little out dated now however will pass on what I was advised. Some tubular single setups have a cast manifold response but is still not quite there. In terms of the cast setup there were two options to pursue: - Source an Arnout manifold - which I fortunately did, a lot more material and better design (words from Chris Wilson): - Treadstone manifold with some time porting it out for better flow - Tim @ TB Developments & DanDan ran a ported treadstone manifold The above combined with the likes of a CW SMIC will be a very good setup, I know Bignum ran a CW SMIC on his single setup for some years until he wanted more power (believe that was around the 600bhp mark) If these are still the current model turbos I'd consider a Garrett GTX35R or Precision 6266. Regardless of the above however definitely look at what Frank has said re diff, suspension, tyres and wheel setup as there are vast investment areas for low down high torque. Some of the info I have given maybe dated though as I haven't been following the latest builds and tech like I used to.
  4. I know I'm nearly 6 months behind here Greg - but really glad to see you have bought this one back! Great car!
  5. Keron - that's great news, will be very keen to see the outcome. The link Greg posted seems to cover the majority, key ones from me: - V160/V161 parts - Suspension arms - Facelift headlights & glass - Engine looms - All parts for the active spoiler (I believe these are discontinued after phoning round this week)
  6. Ah thanks Chris - makes sense as why I didn’t recognise it!
  7. Spotted this in Derby, it had the dragonball 13 sticker on the spoiler. I was on dragonball 13 but don’t recognise the car curious to see who it is
  8. Hi Josh, hope you are well! Can you PM me your mobile?
  9. I’m always looking from a far but the past year has been mental both positive and negative and not had the focus on Supras. Still have the Porsche but M5 has gone - replaced with a more sensible F-Pace S. Will check the calendar and see if I can make it Burna - it’s a great event! And I think I’ve missed having Burna if my life Thanks Ian!
  10. Evening all, Been some time since I last logged in the forum. Almost a year to the day since my last post. Hope everyone is well? I'm looking forward to catching up with what I have missed!
  11. Is that the one in Notts for £6.1k at the minute? Glad to see you still having the build drive, shame you sold the black car you built up!
  12. Evening All, Some will notice I have been buying up some parts of late and this all comes down to what car they are going on. Having looked over for sale threads and sent PM's I've realised that as long as I'm happy with not buying my next supra as an investment I need to build the Supra I want. I need to ignore my previous mission of matching numbers, genuine this and original that and concentrate on why I like the Supra and what it means to me. I want to enjoy driving it and not worry about risking or decreasing the value because of me driving it! This leads me onto this post, I'm after an NA auto or manual, can be a project car but preferably running. I've spoken to Keron and he hasn't got anything at the minute so let me know of what is out there. I have not got a strict budget but want to be realistic so happy to take each car as they are and go from there. Cheers. Ps. all the pics/vids of dragonball have not helped this as I think of the ones that I have been on and miss it!
  13. Anyone got reliable links to all previous issues in PDF?
  14. Can you drop me a PM if this falls through?
  15. Had no reply to PM, cash is waiting if the car fits the bill
