Scott Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 Very nice car that, actually looks red which is nice to see. It isn't usually a good idea to quote 500hp from stock turbos on here though bud. You are shooting about 70-100hp high regardless of what print you have. Where was the dyno out of curiosity? Sounds like it has been dyno'd in the wrong gear.

Guigsy Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 sure you dont mean 395 and not 495? if not you have the most powerfull bpu car ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imi Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 perhaps the 264 have something to do with the extra power Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 How long have you owned the car? im sure i remember this car being on pistonheads not long ago, the old owner had died and his mate was selling? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bt1 Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 Well I have a printout here with 493bhp so unless the dyno was telling porkies.... Plus the guy said it had more left to go, but with the less than perfect autoboxes in the Supras, it was kicking down on pretty much every run so we never saw its peak power - 493 was just the highest run of the session. -Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricky49 Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 I thought the auto box in the supra was meant to be good. Never heard it be called less than perfect. You could of had a figure friendly dyno. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieP Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 Looks better now you have took the stickers off, was certainly a bargain back then, i was a bit gutted as i had made a deal on the phone with the guy and was collecting the next morning, ahh well, win some lose some. http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=209405&highlight=trd+steering Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bt1 Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 Looks like a crossover model, facelift non-vvti can have all manor of facelift/non-facelift parts You are half right - it had a tatty pre-facelift bumper on it when I got it. The new bumper pictured had just been fitted when I took the photos and the new lights were in the post at the time The wiring harness adaptors for the facelift lights were a small fortune from Toyota! -Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

razza Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 and new wheels, maybe a front wing smash then as from what I can tell the engine bay doesn't look like it's been impacted....is it me or does the colour seem ALOT brighter in these pics, i.e. I'm thinking possible respray? Might well be barking up the wrong tree, but all just seems a bit odd to me... And dyno is definately wrong unless maybe you had the NOS on...?

Guigsy Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 also if the guy couldnt stop the auto box kicking down. then it was being dyno'd wrong. might aswell bin the dyno sheet. your only going to be misleading people. the stock turbos simply are not capable of producing that power. And ive seen many times on there that cams dont give you much on a bpu car. If they gave you 90bhp then everyone would have them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
movistar Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 600 bhp and still has the first cat in...blimey why have so many people been taking them both off?.. when they only wanted 400bhp!! Good day for deamers hey;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dandan Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 Hence 3 rear quarter shots with only 1 front quarter shot I like rear 3 quarter shots. In my opinion that's about the best angle for Supes. I'm not a big fan of Supra headlights and the way they often stand out on certain colour cars so I always favour the rear shots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kslb Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 Good luck with this one! You either get comments like great price, great car, from members or comments like you have had! Luckily for members looking to buy the comments are pretty accurate, I would love to see some responses to the issues raised about possible front end damage and there is definately some more info required with regards to the power claims.

matt k Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 I just think people are being a bit wary as the car had a facelift bumper and active aero in the old pictures and a pre facelift without aero in the newer ones, it is not something people usually do for no reason. This is a site for enthusiasts that know a lot about these cars, I have never seen 500BHP on stock turbos...infact I only made 567BHP with a 67mm single so most people will think this is just pub figures to help sell the car. I also think that the price is a little high but I do wish you the best with the sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luxluc Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 Good luck with the sale. I would skip the claimed power figure. For the rest, nice Supe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
