Supra Gaz Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 So, times have changed for me, my Supra life is coming to an end with the coming of my daughter and me getting fed up of having to tax, mot and insure two cars, so im going to buy an e46 M3 instead. On my drive i have my 5 speed Na, it doesnt have MOT and is SORN at the moment, i was going to spend some time on it, sort out the wheel bearing on the rear and get some new rear tyres but i dont know if i can be fussed, prices are a joke for these things at them minute and i dont know if i would get more for it in parts than as a car? Its got black leather recaros and a genuine TRD 10k tacho, Mines ECU as well as a few other tasty bits, so what would you do? Break or sell Answers on a post card cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc_p Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 If it was me, I'd replace the fancy bits with standard parts and sell the seperately. I also expect the vultures will be filling your inbox shortly:d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom S Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 hard 1, I'm just back in a Supra as missed one. If you break (and only if) I'll have the front seats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supra Gaz Posted August 12, 2011 Author Share Posted August 12, 2011 I think thats a good suggestion Marc, i dont think i would get anything for the nice bits i have added over a stock car. I will get a list and set up afor sale thread, its a nicely specced car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noz Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 nice front splitter on your silver car Gaz, where did you get it? looks sweet!! Are u going to break the whole car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Raven Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Id try and sell it as a whole. People seem to like 5 speed n/as of late. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 It depends what value you see it at as a complete car, what do you want for it whole? Without knowing that who can say if it's perhaps worth more broken? Breaking cars is time consuming, messy, dirty and at home, strictly speaking illegal. Do you want to be inundated with requests for the little widget that is at the bottom of the strangle valve, under the topper changer, that's worth 2 quid, takes 4 hours to get off and a trip to the PO to send, after packing? Realistically once the big bits are gone you should probably send it to be crushed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supra Gaz Posted August 12, 2011 Author Share Posted August 12, 2011 Noz the silver front splitter was from CarbonMods, that cars in belgium now. I think taking the tasty bits off and replacing them with standard and then selling her as a project for someone is the way forward. Chris, your spot on, im not turning my drive way into a breakers yard. Oh and after all the posh bits are gone i would be happy with 2k i think...

Supra Gaz Posted August 12, 2011 Author Share Posted August 12, 2011 It was good fun cutting it to shape and fitting it, unique too! I have 10k trd tacho! Carbon effect trd sills, custome black suprs mats, s2000stubby aerial, mvp wings west front splitter and a few other bit. Im going to make a thread with pics later.

When i get home from work i will put a thread up for the parts for sale i thought it was good on fuel and was powerfull but didnt like the drive i really thought the m3 would be a lot more then what it was id never go for one again good luck with your sale and getting your new car anyway if you do get one get a manual not the smg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
