JamieP Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Sounds nice, i know you do these projects because you enjoy them but is there many people about these days that would pay 23k for a 95 supra? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michel lane Posted March 28, 2008 Author Share Posted March 28, 2008 its not targeted for the UK market. but there is the few that want a car that has been done correctly and will pay the money. so far 2 enquiries from SWEDEN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraAyf Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 So we will have to welcome one more guy to the red car and gold wheels club. Sounds like a good project Michel;) 23K sounds a great deal but lots of us spend that on our cars and yet not many have a built engine and 600+ horses once the money has gone.

Chingy Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 great spec, look forward to the build michel, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kslb Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 Have seen this car and the work Michel and his team do and this will be a great deal. I know not many people spend this much on buying a supe but alot of us spend this amount and more once we have purchased them. Buying a complete and well set up single from Michel would save you money in the long run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michel lane Posted April 10, 2008 Author Share Posted April 10, 2008 the combo works on all of the other cars that we have done. yes ferrea valves and dual springs for the head. we use race bearings for the build, the rest apart from the head gasket and oil pump are stock. we are starting this weekend stripping the car for the paint shop.
