Supralad Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 Just bought myself this Supra from a dealer in Wakefield. Satin Silver running at around 400bhp (TBC) Full Black Leather 18 Inch Volks Alloys EOM Bodykit and Bomex Front Spoiler Stainless Steel Exhaust System Restrictor Ring Fitted Dump Valve Uprated Walbro Fuel Pump Performance Iridium Plugs Chrome Engine Pipes & Silicone Hosing UK Spec UK Brakes UK Spec Glass Headlights Crystal Front/Side Lights Clifford Cat 1 Alarm/Immobiliser The guy said someone off the Owners club sold it to him, anyone recognise the previous owner? He traded it in for a VVTI. Anyway Im picking it up in 2 weeks time but it drove lovely and i cant wait, feel like a boy before xmas!

marbleapple Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 What was the trader like? They seem to sell a lot of Supras and I tend to be wary of anyone in the Leeds Bradford area selling cars. Nice looking car though. Bet you can't wait to drive around in her Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirk Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 (edited) why did i not think of that glove trick - does or did it work well for pressure diagnostics ? Put it this way we found the boost leak extremely easy with a 3 gloves (we popped the 1st one) and a foot pump Edited July 24, 2010 by Kirk (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supralad Posted July 24, 2010 Author Share Posted July 24, 2010 Thanks all. What was wrong with her m_life ? Turbo leaked? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 No just a boost leak from the BOV, it wouldnt boost properly. Nothing major, it was fine after that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supralad Posted July 24, 2010 Author Share Posted July 24, 2010 haha sudden panic. She seemed in very good condition. Sounded like Ian looks after his cars well as i got told about his car cover and parking on bits of wood Im very happy. Just a shame i cudnt drive her away. Looking forward to meeting you all now i have my car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixelfill Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 That's a cracker of a car, Ian really looked after it. He's got some explaining to do though - I think you just ruined his surprise Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Ian Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 Hello Supralad yes its my old Supra, i had it just on 5 years and whatever it wanted it got ie oil change every 4 thousand miles with fully synthetic and run on Tesco 99ron all the time, the Nurburgring pics were taken when the exhaust was leaking ( and then fixed ) and the was a small boost leak preventing the 2 turbo coming in and again fault found and fixed ( a small boost pipe had a little split in it ) thanks the Mike W and Bignum/littlenum Mlife all for fixing at the hotel, other than that its ran as sweet as a nut the paint work is faultless and handles very well i swopped the alloys with mine as i prefer them and ive got Vrederstine tyres which i rate very highly Any problems or questions just Pm me and enjoy the soop Cheers -Ian- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Havard Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 I've spent a lot of time in the company of this Supra. Superb condition..!! Ian came around to show off his new wheels on Friday. Like Ian said, swwapped a 93 for a 98 simple as that. Probably the best 93 car I have seen tbh. H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 Nice car It must be great when you can buy a car off the web and later find out all the history about it, especially when it's been loved and so well cared for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
