What would you do if it was yours?

[Tee from China]

As a result of my recent discovery of a 2002 manual RZ-S with only 5000Kms recorded and the mixed responses, it got me thinking 'what if' :innocent:and all pure conjecture as it will probably end up in a Scandinavian garage rather than on British soil:rolleyes:

 

So if you decided or were lucky enough to have around £27K would you :-

 

1. Not touch it or register it a salt it away as an investment?

 

2. keep it standard but rarely drive it?

 

3. keep it standard but enjoy the experience of as near as damn it a new Supra everyday?

 

4. Make some tasteful personal enhancements/upgrades such as wheels, seats etc but no body kitting?

 

5. Go the full monty and build the worlds only 2002 TRD wideboddied 3.4L single with everything upgraded?

 

Personally I'm in two minds between either 3 or 5, what's the boards consensus?

I'd go with # 4 or 5. Stock supras are just horribly slow and look like suv's on stockies.

[RedM]

I'd put the money towards a Corvette C6 Z06.

 

Thanks for asking.

Hmmm, I think I agree - but not to the slowness

Put the Supe next to it:D

Ok first of all.. ^ a stock TT is 'horribly slow'?? I think not! Did you learn to drive in a veyron or something?

 

As for the poll, it depends on how much money you have in your bank account imo, as if I was loaded and could afford other cars then I'd probably try to wrap the car up and keep it as a piece of supra history.. But if my only car was this then I'd just treat it the same as any supra I had, mod it a little and drive it often.

3 and 5!

 

3) you buy a car to use not to keep locked about otherwise start walking, over the years you will make a lot of money saving costs from a car!

 

5) a 3400gt sounds like my wildest sex fantasy which i yet need to dream up!

Cut holes it it.

[dr_jekyll]

single it , remove the spoiler and veilside kit lol

Remove the standard rear spoiler? and what Veilside?? is bog standard with no additions - even factory options

[sdistc]

Upgrade to BPU (and keep all upgraded parts stored neatly), but drive it rarely.

[Nodalmighty]

I think if I had 27k I'd build a 2800bhp 9.6 Twin Turbo Big Block and put it in the 1993 NA a bought with the change

[Gaz6002]

£27k? I'd buy a proper car for that sort of money.

[Havard]

I'd take it for a spin through High Wycombe....

Bitchin'

[stevie_b]

Option 2 probably: keep it stock and use it only occasionally.

 

It would be a crime to mod it. Today's "tasteful mods" are often tomorrow's chavtastic add-ons.

 

Once upon a time, people thought Veilside was tasteful.

I doubt even the people at Veilside themselves ever thought it was tasteful...!!

Buy it and stow it in my Danish garage :-)

- its way less than I paid for my stock 93 RZ here in DK

 

would be a disgrace to not keep it stock... Build on a 'normal' soop

My first car was 5spd na-tt bpu.

 

No need a 4#+ hp car to take down a stock supra either on the track or the freeway.

 

Today's standarts are much higher than they were back in the 90's.

[jackso11]

I would just use it as an everyday car and be thankful that everything is in perfect condition with no rattles or problems.

 

It was made to be driven not covered away in a barn

[Chris Wilson]

I would never, ever, ever spend that sort of money on ANY road car. UK roads are for getting from A to B on these days, hopefully without accident, unpleasant attention from Big Brother, vandalism, theft or a meeting with the Old Bill. This is best done with some worthless old crate that still runs reliably and is worth sod all. Expenditure of anything over 1.5K should only be made on something for dedicated track use

[Tee from China]

Such as? 30K on an Evo X or a WRX? maybe a Porker perhaps?

Hi Steve, by tasteful I mean known problem areas and improvements only where needed
