add heywood Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 After 3 great years of ownership the time has come to put the Supra up for sale With a young family looking to move up the property ladder I can no longer justify spending lots of money on my car. It has been a great car since I have had it, and will be really sad to see it go. It is a real attention seeker, and gets lots of praise when at shows and generally driving about. About the car It is a 1996 Facelift Supra RZ Greddy T88 Single Turbo 6 speed. It has approx 65k miles (as in kilometres before conversion on import). I has only covered around 3.5k miles in the time I have owned it, and is kept in a garage and not used over winter. MOT until May 2012. The car was bought from Jurgen at Jm-imports in September 2008 as a private import. It has been maintained by traders on the forum and has had a lot of money sorting any issues, and general maintainance it needed. I take pride in my cars and their appearance and have built my dream car. The single conversion had been done in Japan and was running around 500 bhp before the first round of mods I did got 549 bhp. The latest mods have seen the power increase to around 730 bhp @ 1.2 bar, tuned by AFR and mapped by Matt (muffleman) on TDI's rototest dyno. Specs Engine: Greddy T88 34-D with cast manifold External wastegate AFR race spec cylinder head (large valves, uprated springs & retainers, bigger flow), rebuilt and checked around 500 miles ago AFR supplied brand new 280 cams (done around 500 miles) HKS cam pullies Gates racing timing belt (500 miles) ARP head stud kit Trust 3 row intercooler with polished hard pipe kit Trust oil cooler and filter relocation Envy large air filter Polished inlet manifold Straight through 4" exhaust (with bung if needed) TRD rad cap Fueling, Tuning & ECU Apexi Power FC with Commander (mapped by Matt (muffleman) from AFR tuning to around 730 bhp) Blitz SBC boost controller 1000cc injectors Twin walbro fuel setup on twin hanger Fuelmotive FPR Solaris 3 bar map sensor Drivetrain Rebuilt 6 speed box - When I picked the car up from Jurgen 4th gear synchro was slighlty worn. The car went to Pip Gardner at WGT and box was rebult and all worn parts changed at a cost of almost £2k Ogura clutch Lightened flywheel Giken/Kaaz 2 way LSD - Was in from Japan Suspension, Wheels & Brakes Tein coilovers with in car EDFC control unit Volk Rays 19" GT-V (9.5 & 10.5J) in Rays chrome finish - These are some of the nicest wheels imo on a supra, and is what get alot of attention. Uk spec brakes front and rear Front Cusco strut brace Exterior Ridox front bumper Ridox half carbon side skirts OEM rear spats Autoshine carbon rear diffuser Autoshine Ridox front carbon splitter & undertray to fit the Ridox bumper Abflug bonnet TRD half carbon rear spoiler with carbon end caps Clear side repeaters and rear markers Cold air feed Interior Recaro seats - Have been upholstered in black leather with white middle (from JM-imports) Full set of 5 Defi BF gauges (oil temp, oil pressure, water temp, boost, EGT) with controller Momo sterring wheel TRD gaitors Trust gear knob In car touch screen Sat Nav/DVD/ipod Pioneer speakers in front and back with separate tweeters -g-CK8FMm_8 I haven't really got any pics of it with the full Ridox kit on, if you follow this link [link removed as contained virus!!!!] and look on the 4th line down you will see a couple. Also some from JAE this year... I'm only testing the water with this to see if there is any interest. As said I am looking to move to a bigger house but this will only be in around 6 - 12 months. I understand these cars can take a while to sell... I have probably missed many things off this advert so will update accordingly. £17,950 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hodge Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 Add what you doing??? Sell the missus n kids 1st. It's the only sensible answer mate. This car is a beauty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 What would you consider a 'sensible' offer? ball park? I'm not interested, but I've just sold my car after a ton of hassle - my tip for you Sir would be to be as direct as possible. If you leave it 'open for offers' no-one will come near... except the pi$$ takers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tony1979 Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 Cant view the video for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul R Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 Sorry to hear your selling Your car is more or less exactly what I will be after. It will probably be around the 12 month mark when I'm ready to buy though, which may fit in perfectly for you? what kind of money are you wanting, justy a ballpark figure please? This years bonus has gone on a new bathroom for the house - next years bonus isnt spoken for yet though Paul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abz Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 Cant view the video for some reason. Yep, looks like a music violation (I think when you use big artist music or something like that on YouTube they don't release the video). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fitz Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 Cracking looking car Add. As mentioned, you'd be helping yourself by putting a 'ball park' figure up or you'll get lots of time wasters making contact with you. Really liking white supras nowadays and the Ridox kit is a thing of beauty. GLWTS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 Looks cracking mate. Turbo is hardly even working and producing good figures. Is it laggy at all? Any dyno plots? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 I always thought of this as a sister car to my Single, given they were imported at the same time (and we collected the same day ) Will be sad day if this one leaves the forum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
