Guest Supra-T Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 Just thought i'd bless everyone with my gracious presence, only kiding. I am from London, I have always dreamed about owning a supra but never got the funds! Now the time has come and I have just put money down on an ex-thor racing project toyota supra, it's a HKS single turbo 498 bhp beast and the best thing about it you wouldn't guess how much I have picked it up for...

Guest Supra-T Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 Just a quick update guys, I went and picked the car up yesterday and went straight to the garage to have it checked out: Good news: Nothing major is wrong with it, engine and turbo is mint! Bad news: it has some sort of oil leak which will have to be investigated further but it doesn't look too bad, it's running a pre-historic ECU so running a bit rich, it's also missing the passenger airbag, I also have a "square wheel" and finally and most importantly, IT'S DIRTY!! If anyone has 18" alloys for sale which would clear the 6 pot front brakes and 4 pot rears please let me know, also if anyone has a spare airbag, please do let me know. Pictures will be uploaded tomorrow once I get my camara charged up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricky49 Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 Hi and Welcome. I wouldn't call 498hp a beast. A small single. What's the spec and where are the pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 Crikey, sounds like you picked up a bargain there, well done! Is this an NA-T by any chance? What gearbox have you got? Would be nice to see pics of the car as it may be a known one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Supra-T Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 I think it's a TT-T mate because it was running ~330 bhp before the conversion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 I think it's a TT-T mate because it was running ~330 bhp before the conversion. That really is a bargain then Is it an auto or 6spd? Looking forward to the pics What else could be done to these without going OTT with the turbos mate? If it's a 6spd, a LOT!! All depends on how much you want to spend and how understanding your misses is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
