Recommended Posts

Not 100% I want to do this so bear with me please.

 

 

Hey all, well after things always going wrong with my supra over and over again i have had enuf. I love the car to bits but it never ends. My first supra i never had a problem with so i dont know why i have so many with this one.

 

I am breaking it as i dont want to sell it to anyone and then they have all the problems as i dont think its fair. Plus i dont want to sell it for what i think its worth.

 

Right its a BPU 6 speed 1996 with just shy of 50000 miles on the clock.

Bought from Jurgen in 2008 as me as the only uk owner.

 

Was dyno'd last weekend at 406 BHP at the wheels and 390 tourque.

 

As it stands the engine and loom minuse the bpu parts are Prov sold as well as the whole interior and both doors.

 

 

The main parts are:

 

Veilside s/s exhaust, £300

V160 with southbends clutch only fitted about 200 miles ago, £3000

19" GFG Chrome split rims (rare) with Eagle f1 on the rear with plenty of tread left, Fronts might need changing. £1500 Will be refurbed Befor delivery

Front and rear Rotora Big brake kit with braided lines, Plenty left in the pads and discs all round. Offers

HKS Hyper max coilovers, Offers

LED One off rear lights with C-West Tints, £350, will be refurbed befor delivery.

 

 

 

 

Thats all i can thin ok at the moment, Pics and other info can be found in my garage for your browsing pleasures.

 

 

If someone wants to make me an offer on the whole car then try me.

 

 

If you would like anything else or if you have any questions then dont hesatate to ask.

 

 

 

Regards

T

I know how you feel mate, I have got quite a few issues with mine and tbh it needs some big cash thrown at it to get it right, but cant sell it as would get peanuts for it, and could not part with it, so for the mo its on the back burner till I have the cash together to get it all sorted.

Barney is one of the nicest colour supras I have seen, be a shame to break it :(

Keep the car :), you sound like a man who is not ready to part with your supra yet. Cant you just return the car/engine to stock spec? Should be more reliable right?

 

Its not mechanical bar the clutches thats the problem and i think a new differential will fix that, its all electronics and i have no idea about them and dont know anyone who can help me with it.

 

You might be right in that im not ready to part with it but i just cant seam to drive it without something going wrong.

If its BPU it should be reliable as not all that much has been changed. What exactly is up with it. I of course am biast but I would keep it as said above maybe put a few parts back to stock, if you have a boost controller just run it at stock boost until funds become available to get it sorted properly.

 

Sorry to all that want to buy parts but thats my opinion.

I only run it at 0.73 bar, 406 BHP is at 1.2 bar.

 

Its all electrical, but i think its all to do with the main loom around the front as it caught fire so need a new one, but i dont know why it did so im worried that if i do get a new one then what if that ones does. Engine wise it doesnt miss a beat.

Ohh the loom caught fire, is a lot of loom damaged, as I am sure it could be repaired, or as you said get a new loom. Need to find out why the loom caught fire in the first place. Mate I can always pop up for the day one day and take a look, I am no expert but know enough about car wiring :)

well i have tried to fix it but it depends if there is any more damage, i can get a new loom for just shy of 100 but fitting it is the problem and dont wanna do it and then it messes up again

 

that would be a great help mate if you could
