dandan Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 You could have two drastically different lists there depending on who worked on the cars and why. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 Hard to judge really. Probably Paul Whiffins, BUT JamiePs will be right up there, probably along with Ryans track car, LeePs big twins car. I can't imagine yours will be far off either (if you're only counting currently fitted parts) There's also the Veilside car with the drag engine (can't remember who owns it ) which has had some serious money spent on it. Darretts car must be up there too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCK10 Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 Inferno's probably - http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?220866-My-Supra-Restored-and-Built-from-the-Ground-Up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob_Mitchell Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 i dont think it matters to be honest, everyone has different life styles ect and not everyone plough's wages into the car's. some of the single builds are in a world of there own and deserve more credit than they get, i know my na has had more than enough put into it and im talking double figures but its not about that i dont think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jurgen-Jm-Imports Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 andy yours is around 40-50k ? with car.. i think maybe jamiep,matt h, dude,paul whiffin or stuarts (owns the veilside one) they must be on 70k plus there must be others that i have missed.. then there is the green car envy built (dave the owner), kevin huntleys Supra both easy over 100k..

Tricky-Ricky Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Its very subjective, depending on your viewpoint, you could spend thousands on a Supra, paying people to do all or most of the work, and end up with a very classy and quick car, but IMO that not what its really about, that just having the available cash to throw at it. Then there are those cars that are truly built just by the owners, and often on a tight budget too, and only have the major machining work farmed out, as not everyone has boring machines etc, these are the true measure of what building a car is about, and its very often that these cars get overlooked because they don't have the necessary tuning/custom shop credentials to gain the kudos with the masses or magazines etc. IMO these are the true stars of the tuning/modifying world.

In that case Hodge's TRD aero has to be up there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwilkinson Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 IMHO it is likely to be Inferno's car. He spent mega money doing a ground up build. Frankly the quality of this build is unparalleled to anything else I have seen for detail. That car has got to be worth quite a bit of money too.

The Raven Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Mine. Saying that the price of these cars is coming down so quickly im worried my Cheapest supra record may be broken soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hodge Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 I'm upto about 40k in parts alone. If you consider the man hours that's went into it so far, and say I was a garage charging £40 an hour, that's 1 damn large labour bill. On a different note, Goeights supra is very close to £250,000 if not slightly over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny g Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Pointless thread this really IMO. All cars have different approaches and different owners, with, as mentioned, different lifestyles. For actual £'s/$'s spent, I'm going with Inferno. For most effort and determination, I'm saying Hodge For best street-car, JamieP For best track-car, Whiffin All awesome cars, awesome enough to be different.

dude Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Mine, PW's and Lee P's are awkward to work out as we have put the hours in ourselves and prob blagged loads of favours along the way. Go eights is prob over £200K by now and its not finished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
