tooquicktostop Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 Lets forget the trader for this one please http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201037368231703/sort/priceasc/usedcars/model/supra/make/toyota/page/4/postcode/rm191tl/radius/1501?logcode=p This looks like a nice car for the money? It would need some research on the ECU controlling all this but would be a good weekend car and bring me back to Supra ownership with single power for good TT money?

Scott Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 Worth a look but I have a funny feeling if anyone went to see that, that knew what they were doing, they would walk away. The pictures are shocking, looks like they rubbed vaseline on the lens before taking them, and that is a trader. Look at the weld on the BOV for example, also what is the turbo kit in question? And a bleed valve? Not even a proper boost controller lol. Can't go off that advert at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 I think there''s already been a thread on this one, would be quite a safe purchase with a view to breaking it, probably be a good couple of grand in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havard Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 Erm, nice car..!! Trader..... H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guigsy Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 Looks nice. If you know your stuff (which I'm sure you do) then it might be worth a punt. But I'm sure it needs work. Just hope it's not been crashed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooquicktostop Posted January 3, 2011 Author Share Posted January 3, 2011 For the money I would expect work, it just grabbed my attention for the price, it may well be cheap for a very good reason, could be worth a look but I am happy to walk away these days if the car is not right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adnanshah247 Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 stay away, for that price, look like a bag of bolts.....TRADER! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 As per the other thread i would buy that if it was closer without a thought, Me and Lee could strip that in a day and there is a few bob to be made on that i can promise you.

Agreed, I am as you know aware of the possible issues and what to look for, I see the car in the same way, a possible bargain with a bit of TLC if the basics are in order Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jurgen-Jm-Imports Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 looks like a potential bargain defo worth a look id say, but what if something is wrong with transmission or the engine the breaking might not be as appealing then.. i would go check it out mate, it might be a bargain mate.

Unlikely there would be anything wrong with the box but that would be seen on the test drive, even if the engine was poorly still make good money splitting the lump.

Jurgen-Jm-Imports Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 Would you buy it Jurgen at this price ? Any members who know what they are looking at live close enough to have a butchers for me ? if this was from japan and for sale for that price YES 100%.. i have even considered buying that for stock too..but i prefer direct from japan.. what you need to check is.. 1-engine ok (smokey, low comp) 2.gearbox ok (crunchy) 3.genuine RZ ? (always effects resale) 4.genuine 6 speed ? (as above) 5.paint ok ? good respray ? (could be 2k job) 6.heater matrix ok ? 7.brakes ok ? 8.suspension ok ? 9.any crash history ? 10.mapping needed. 11. tyres ok ? if all that ticks good , then your onto a winner mate ;-), if not then it might cost you a few £ more to get it better.. or you can break it also..

tooquicktostop Posted January 3, 2011 Author Share Posted January 3, 2011 You know what I think you are right, not great and would need changing, I guess I expected that for the money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 You know what, looking at them pictures again i think thats an XS power turbokit. I would be far more surprised if it wasn't to be honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
