razza Posted August 21, 2008 Author Share Posted August 21, 2008 (most of the bling is now off the car) It’s a 1996 Facelift extremely rare Original Toyota Green (not black, red or silver) TT!!! Out of 160 Supras at Japfest this was the only stock Green coloured one. This car was September on the club’s calendar. It's BPU so at 1.2bar on the UK turbos (stronger blades so can take more boost and power) it should be pushing around 400BHP. It pulls very hard and strong on both turbos and leaves most cars behind. This used to be owned by Greenpeace (off the forum, not the activists) and has a lot of money thrown at it over the years. Tasteful mods in line with keeping with the car I believe, it took me a long time to find this one, so sorry to see it go:(. Turbocharger & Induction: Standard airbox being refitted (known to be the best option for keeping airtemps down) HKS Turbo Timer HKS electronic boost controller running 1 bar, with higher boost setting at 1.2bar for spirited fun Miami GT side mounted intercooler Fuel, Tuning & ECU: Fuel pump upgrade FCD fitted HKS Steel hoses Speed limiter removed NGK plugs Exhaust: Blitz Nur Spec R HKS midpipes Full Decat No RR needed as UK Spec Turbos Drivetrain: Torsen LSD, the favoured uprated factory version:eyebrows: Suspension, Wheels, Tyres & Brakes: Lowered Blistein suspension Racing Hart 19" CRs – extremely rare, no longer available, worth £2k alone Eagle F1's all round (+rears brand new just fitted recently at £300 cost) UK Brakes on front and back (had new pistons fitted by Phoenix about 1.5 yrs ago, not just the refurb kit) Red Dot 5.1 fluid CW fast road pads Goodridge braided brakelines all round Interior & ICE: Custom Green/Black Leather Seats and armrests with Silver piping/Supra logos in headrests Rear seats re-trimmed in black leather OEM Chrome dash rings Aluminium mirror and cigarette lighter surrounds Aluminium dash light adjustment dial DVD Alpine Screen with DVD Sat Nav and TV tuner and remote (cost £1500) Pioneer Chrome Amps x2, Pioneer Subwoofer (v loud) within custom boot build Infinity speakers all round in front and back with tweeters built into the door cards Snooper S6Neo with fixed camera and mobile camera detection (GPS tracked via 4 satellites) New OEM Toyota Supra Mats in black Engine Dress (a lot of cosmetic parts in the above photos has now been removed): Strut bar HKS pipes for intercooler and exhaust Polished top radiator pipe Red piping set Exterior: Tinted/Security Windows HID low beams 6000k White 6 LED sidelights Original OEM Side skirts (not fibreglass replicas) Original OEM Rear Spats (as above) Colour coded bottom front lip Mesh in front air intakes UK bonnet scoop (cosmetic) UK glass headlights, not plastic ones that yellow Liquidart Toyota badges with devil horns, and liquid art Supra badge on boot Private plate W7 SUP will come with the car Cambelt was changed 9k miles ago, along with the cam seal. No smoke on start up, or on boost, and idles very steadily and smoothly (has a nice purr). It pulls very strong:D The mileage on the car is currently 114k miles, however the engine and turbos are less than half that as replaced this year by ToyotaGT. I have the service book with the previous stamps in it from import in 2000, plus all the receipts since I’ve had it. Selling due to the fact I need something more practical for work. The price reflects the rarity of this colour:cool:, the work that’s gone into it, and the new low mileage engine and UK turbos. 8 months MOT 6 months tax I’ll consider p/x for an Audi S4 07786 011887 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

razza Posted August 24, 2008 Author Share Posted August 24, 2008 Hi razza - still no luck. Saw Simon last night at the Fairmile BBQ. Hope you sell it mate 'fraid not, reduced it to try and shift it, not going to go lower.. good luck mate - what have you seen to replace it then? We're virtually looking at exactly the same cars as replacements! Worked out finances and can go for a newer Audi S4 V8:eyebrows:, but most likely will go for a Leon Cupra R so we can finish the house quicker. Then I'll get a new toy;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon K Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 Hi, lovely car. Quick question, ITs a 96' but on a W plate ??? SBK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razza Posted August 30, 2008 Author Share Posted August 30, 2008 Hi, lovely car. Quick question, ITs a 96' but on a W plate ??? SBK was imported in 2000 as registered as such with the DVLA at the time. So although the VIN and documents show it's a '96, it's registered with the DVLA as a 2000. It happens on a few imports, think Jezz has one which is a 52 plate or something... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150299760730Good advert, Darren. Much better than the average eBay car listing. This bit though: "No Restrictor Ring needed as UK Spec Turbos which have their own wastegate" I don't think that says quite what you meant. J-specs also have their own wastegate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havard Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 Been watching this one as this is one of my favourite cars on here. I still can't see me driving an auto though?? Darren, are there any marks on the wheels? This would mess with my OCD...... Also, are you open to offers as I sense that money is a real issue for you at the moment? Pm if you like!! H.

Branners Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 you may be surprised by the auto on a BPU mkiv. I have had a 6sp and gone back to an auto as I find it way more fun. Worth a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havard Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 you may be surprised by the auto on a BPU mkiv. I have had a 6sp and gone back to an auto as I find it way more fun. Worth a try. When you say "fun" what is it specifically?? I imagine the driving experience to be a little less involving than having a manual. That said, I drove my dads Merc to Le Mans a couple of years ago and enjoyed it so much I got done for speeding........ H. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
