Hi guys
As some of you know i did a track day last weekend with potential cars to replace the supra, i love the supra but i have the itch for something else, atleast i thought i did.
I test drove 5 cars but only 3 were relevant as they were the options for my next car.
So, i drove an audi r8 v8, r35 gtr and ariel atom 2 supercharged
The r8 was the slowest (probably on par with bpu supra) but was very involving and fun, it also felt super sporty and build quality was 10/10, the v8 also sounded beautiful
The ariel atom was a blast, very raw car to drive but honestly with no driving aids at all id probably kill myself lol, plus its not very practical
The gtr was damn quick but i felt it was quite boring to drive, dont get me wrong, its damn good and very quick and nimble but i kinda felt unconnected from the experience.
So im now back to square 1, so im potentially looking for a tt6 (preferably uk spec in stock form or big hp jap spec or something like the dct 7 speed would be cool)
Ive looked into the t56 conversion and dct but tbh my car is too stock to start chopping it up
Little spec on the car:
1993 supra TT GZ auto
Very very very good bodywork
Renaissance red
90kmh (still in kmh)
Basically bone stock apart from exhaust and BPU
maintained by SRD, AKS tuning and myself
Owned for over 3 years now
Since my ownership it has been in banzai mag, japanese performance mag, supra calendar, waxstock show and toyota uk's toyota tuesday car of the month feature, its also about to be released in a review against the mk5 supra by a big car magazine next week
I bought the car in 2016, it was previously owned by a well respected BDC driver who took extremely great care of the car too.
I purchased the car with 61,xxx kmh and have not been shy in driving it like its supposed to be driven. its been as far as the nurburgring in my ownership and has not missed a beat, hands down the most reliable car ever. the arches are not rolled either.
The car was completely stock when i purchased it, its now full bpu with only quality parts used:
Blitz sbc
Whifbitz decat
Depo gauge (not so quality lol)
Whifbitz SMIC
Hks turbo timer
Tanabe touring exhaust with boost activated straight pipe
It also has:
Cruise control
Leather seats
Active aero
Foot well lights
Door keyhole light
Uk spec big brakes
Toyota optional secret box
Toyota optional rear wing
Toyota optional wind deflectors
Bilsteins with 20mm lowering springs
17in standard alloys wrapped in yoko ad08r, spaced to sit flush with arches using H&R spacers (ive driven the car to germany and been round the nurburgring on these spacers with no issues)
Interior is also stock with only the boost gauge in site (mounted in left airvent)
The car is absolutely beautiful, ive had the entire interior out, deep cleaned, all dash panels professionally repainted, calipers painted, wheels powder coated, original mats in good shape with new gel logos.
Serviced way more then necessary using fuchs oil and genuine parts, recently had full service including diff oil and entire fluid replacement.
The bodywork is completely original apart from the front end which i had resprayed last year due to stone chips, you would never know though.
The plate will be transferred if i were to get another supra or sold separately if I sold the car (its a dateless plate so can go on anycar after 1960 i believe)
Im possibly looking for a px for a uk tt6 (stock or near abouts) or jap tt6 (preferably single)
So if you have one, or know of someone possibly looking for a px then please let me know, just a few pics below
