Guest simonb9 Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 Seen this car for sale on Autotrader - does anybody know it ? Someone must as it appears to be high spec'd. Seems like a reasonable price as well - http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201032365785596/sort/priceasc/usedcars/seller-type/private_adverts/model/supra/make/toyota/page/3/radius/1501/postcode/bn132sx?logcode=p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest simonb9 Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 Nobody knows it at all ??!! Can anybody comment on the spec at all ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havard Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 It doesn't look familiar at all. The spec looks good but I would question what has been done to the auto box? Has it been uprated or just replaced, I know a lot of members who auto's have bene chewed up on higher horsepowers. Someone will be along shortly who know more about these things..!! H.

Guest simonb9 Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 Car is now on Pistonheads - still nobody knows it ? I really like the colour and looks, spec seems good, low mileage, only downside is that its an auto, if it was a manual i'll snap it up. http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/1967132.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraDan24 Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 Have you asked him which "uprated autobox" is installed, where it was recently mapped and who the Supra enthusiast who built it is. Answering these 3 Q's will go along way towards it appeal for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supracars Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 I know that car its a very nice example the guy selling it Mark has had it for seven years and built the car to a very high standard. Lovely guy too used to work for a Supra garage has bags of knowledge and expertise in this field and i can assure that he cut no corners and the car will be a good one. I think the car made 570 at the hubs a few weeks ago. defo worth a look if you can live with the auto box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest simonb9 Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 Thanks for the replies - guys got back to me. Recently mapped at Thor Racing by Peter Betts on their hub dyno. It has a standard Toyoto box but was rebuilt with uprated clutch bands, a high flow oil pump, new seals, and a Pro Torque torque convertor. It isn't a high stall though - does this matter ?. The previous owner worked for Abbey Motorsport, TDI and SPC Horsham. Sounds like it might be worth looking at ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee_e Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 (edited) I know this car !! although it has changed slightly over a few months... Guy called Phil used to own it at SPC (sussex performance centre ) in horsham, used to go in and look at it sometimes, very nice guy and knew everything about anything to do with supra's so i doubt very much if he's done anything bodge/dodgey on it. id say that you couldnt get a better looked after car or a car thats owner had the knowledge, if you tried a hundred times. I beleive he sold it due to SPC going out of buisness. sad times Definatley worth a look but im pretty sure if you go to see it and dont take the cash, you will be gutted you had to make 2 journeys lol good luck though ... sure it will be a winner. p.s. i am in no way related / know of phil selling this car , hes just a nice guy and done me lots of favours in the past with my sup :-) Edited October 6, 2010 by Lee_e (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest simonb9 Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 Thanks for the info - i'll make contact and go to see it, not too far away either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
