L33 Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 well the time has come to sell the car, ive had so much support and help through out with this car and ive been so greatfull but i have made my decision to part ways and sell up. Most of you no my car and for those who dont ive put links to the things that will need doing to get this car up together back to its full glory http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=218326 http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=218471 i have most of the things to fix the car - crank pully, cam belt, fuel filter and oil, the bits still needed will not cost a huge amount to buy the car has had a quick inspection by dropping the sump and we are fairly confident the internals are fine but this would be down to you to double check! even of you stripped all the parts and put onto another engine its still a bargain! this car has £15k worth of parts to make it what it is, the most recent was the syvics ECU (first in a auto supra) to gain another 100bhp. it was running 618 bhp, 525 lbs torque at 1.5 bar for about 2-3 weeks until the crank pully decided to give up on me! before that its only done about 3-4k miles since rebuild so its barely been opened up! the current spec is as follows Borg Warner 91-79 Turbo HKS 264 Cams Gates Racing Cam Belt HKS Advanced Timing Pulleys Wiseco Forged Pistons ARP Head Stud Kit 4” K+N Air Filter HKS SSQV 3 Core FMIC 44mm Tial Waste Gate screamer pipe veilside exhaust Boostlogic Auto Drag Gear Box 3800 High Stall Torque Converter 25 Row Transmission oil cooler Spal High Powered Fan For Oil Cooler 650 Sard Fuel Injectors Twin Walbro Fuel Pumps Modified Fuel Rail For Twin Entry Aeromotive Fuel Pressure Regulator Cusco Oil Catch Can New Oil And Water Pump New Engine Bearings And Gaskets Wheels And Brakes 18” Alloys Full UK Brake Upgrade 4/2 Pot Stainless Steel Braided Brake Lines 20mm Front Wheel Spacers Electronics Syvecs ECU Blitz Boost Controller AEM Air To Fuel Ratio Gauge Defi Boost Gauge Defi Exhaust Gas Temp Gauge Defi Oil temp Gauge Defi Gearbox Oil Temp Gauge Defi Oil Pressure Gauge the car will be featured in Japanese Performance mag in the near future, the article is being drafted up as we speak! this car was the love of my life and so much time and money has been thrown at it and will be sad to see it go but it really is time to let her go now the price, i would love to see near £10k for this car but i no this would never happen so im willing to let it go for £8,000 thanks for your time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
