AJI Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 From the description if has indeed been 'looked after' by Toyota/Lexus then it sounds like a good example. The piggy-back chip thing sounds like bollox as already mentioned. Aparently the Supra ECU can not be chipped. The usual method of increasing boost is to either remove both the CATs and/or fit a boost controller in the form of an electronic device or a bleed valve. The BHP figure sound a bit over enthusiastic for the mods you have stated. The car sound like it may still have both the CATs in place and with only 1.1 bar of boost that should really be in the 360bhp region. Take out the CATs and it should be in the 370-380 region. Up the boost to 1.2+ then you're talking 400bhp region. (This is all going from similar car with similar mods - and from memory .... so hopefully a few other members could verify those figures?). The UK-6-speeds are a rare car and for the right price this car should be snapped up in no time. Good to see it's also in standard body-kit for... this is also a plus point for buyers. At 32K miles... you'd have to ask the question as to how long the car has stood still and over what periods of time. For a 9 year old car that means its done an average of 3555miles per year. It could also mean that its stood still for a few years and driven all year round on other years. The above is nothing really to put you off, just check the car out before you buy it. Have a good look underneath for rust and listen for suspension squeaks. The usual stuff realy. Sound like a very good buy for a sought after UK-6-speed. It won't be cheap mind you! But it will be worth it. :-) I'd estimate around the £17000 mark if the car is exactly as it is stated....that being in showroom condition on that milage.
