ellis Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 SOLD • SOLD • SOLD I'm putting this here first before it goes on Pistonheads and Autotrader to see if there's any forum interest. Those who know me know this car and the joy its been getting it to where it is now! It's with great reluctance that I offer it for sale but life changes mean that my options are few. The pics of the front just show dirt and flies, not stone chips!! Oh well, here goes: Toyota Supra UK Spec Twin Turbo 1993 This car has been loved and cared for by me for the past 3 years. Started as a standard UK spec car in Storm Blue. Since I have owned the car it has had the following: • Full Chris Wilson suspension system and set up (£1500) • Chris Wilson SMIC • Full respray in original colour (£1200) • Total short motor rebuild with oversized CP forged pistons (only 12,000 miles on new engine) by Interpro (Jason) (£1923.27 for the build, another £4000 in other bits and putting it all back together!) • Refurbed turbos and injectors • Valve stem seals replaced • HKS Silent Hi Power Exhaust • HKS Gauges in pillar pod • eBoost 2 Boost Controller fitted by Weston Performance • Volks SF Challenge 19" Alloys fitted (£2500 from Envy) • New radiator • Full decat (although have replaced one cat for MoT emissions which is still on) • Clifford G5 Alarm and Immobiliser All documentation is with the car (still looking for the Interpro invoice but if I can't find the original I'll get them to send a copy over). Currently on a private plate but this will be replaced prior to sale. This car has been maintained regardless of expense. Comes with 2 months tax and 9 months MoT. Does need 4 new tyres though! Car is in stunning condition for its age, does have a few stone chips again but they can't be avoided. Front alloys will need a refurb at some point as the chrome has tarnished already but the rears are fine (one kerbing on one rear!). This is an honest car from an honest owner, all of the above points have been taken into consideration with the pricing. New house abroad now means I have to sell this car and it will kill me to do so. Provisionally sold (reduced once more - forum price!) http://img384.imageshack.us/img384/4320/supra1by4.jpg http://img384.imageshack.us/img384/3885/supra2xk6.jpg http://img384.imageshack.us/img384/6213/supra3sj6.jpg http://img134.imageshack.us/img134/9458/supra4zo4.jpg http://img134.imageshack.us/img134/9203/supra8mq9.jpg http://img88.imageshack.us/img88/7808/supra11vr5.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ellis Posted October 13, 2008 Author Share Posted October 13, 2008 Nice example, shame your selling.Why did the motor need a rebuild at 86k? Piston ring went so we sourced another short motor and totally rebuilt it with forged pistons etc etc etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
