Jamesy Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Ok this has taken me about 2 weeks to start writing as I simply DO NOT want to part with what has been the best car I ever owned.... but due to potential work redundancies I am putting my pride and joy up for sale... Anyways enough sob story lets talk about this car .... It has been built and maintained by Lee @ SRD and always mapped and tweaked by Ryan @ 2BarTuning. It has been regularly serviced by SRD using the best products and lubricants. The car is a 1996 FACELIFT TT now Billet single turbo. Comes with MOT til Sept 2012 and Tax til July 2012. Its had an 8 page editorial feature Redline magazine March 2011 issue and is featured on 3 seperate months in the Supra 2012 Owners Calendar! It is a real pleasure to drive, incredible road presence and absolutely brutal performance!! 825bhp / 700 ftlbs on tap at 1.9 bar boost setting. There is also a 1.2 bar, 1.4 bar and 1.7 bar settings on the Syvecs. The engine has done 1,600 miles, the current gearbox has done 56k miles, and the 6 speed Getrag conversion box has done ONLY 33k miles! Full spec below: Billet 6765H (big cover) Single Turbo Turbocharger & Induction: Billet 6765H DBB Turbo .81ar Custom OBX 321 Stainless Steel Manifold HKS 50mm Wastegate Screamer Pipe 4” Full-Race Pro Sport Downpipe 4” Full-Race Pro Sport Mid pipe 4” K&N Air Filter Polished GReddy Plenum Polished Q45 Throttle Body TPS Adaptor SRD Turbo Heatshield Engine Specifications: ARP Head Studs ARP Rod Bolts ARP Main Bolts ACL Rod Bearings ACL Main Bearings ACL Thrust Washers New Uprated Rings Fully Balanced and Line Honed Block SRD Stage 2 Race Head - Ported and Polished HKS Cam Pulleys SRD Stage 2 Race Cams Brian Crower Uprated Springs Titanium Retainers TRD Thermostat TRD Polished Oil Filler Cap SRD Polished Billet Water Neck SRD Alloy undertray SRD Billet lower water pipe GReddy Timing Belt Metalic Sump Plug Blitz Dual Drive BOV Blitz DC2 Turbo Timer New OEM Water Pump Gas Bonnet Lifters Alloy Header Tank PE Oil Filter Electric Blue Spark Plug Cover Electric Blue Fuse Box Cover Electric Blue Bonnet Pins Electric Blue Bonnet Clamps Polished Top Rad Hose Polished Cam Covers Polished Plinth Polished Curved Rad Cover Polished FMIC Cover with Supra Logo Etched Polished Washer Cap with Supra Logo Polished Curved Fan Shroud with Supra Logo Polished Brake Fluid Cap with Supra Logo Polished Power Steering Cap with Supra Logo The engine was rebuilt using the above quality parts last year by Lee and has since covered 1,600 miles . The engine bay has always got stunning remarks and we certainly went all out to make it look very special with a nice blue/chrome colour combination! Cooling: SRD 4” Front Mount Intercooler with Custom Piping Blitz Oil Cooler SRD Twin Gearbox Coolers SRD Heat wrapped Manifold SRD Heat wrapped Down Pipe Fuel, Tuning & ECU: Syvecs S6 ECU - 4 boost settings, anti-hijack, valet mode settings Twin Bosch 044 Fuel Pumps (Staged set up) FPR with Gauge AEM Wideband AFR -6 Fuel Lines Injector Clinic 2150cc Injectors Injector Clinic Top Feed Fuel Rail This fuel system was installed at the end of last year and will handle up to 1500bhp. Exhaust: 4” Full-Race Pro Sport Downpipe - very rare!!! 4” Full-Race Pro Sport Mid pipe - very rare!!! 4” HKS Ti Catback Exhaust - best exhaust there is for a Supra in my opinion - loud as HELL, brilliant ground clearance! Drivetrain: Lockup Switch 2 SRD Gearbox Coolers LSD Syvecs Traction Control – this still needs to be set up by Ryan, but its all plumbed in. Currently running a stock auto box after the BL drag box gave way last year. There is a lockup switch all plumbed in if new owner decides to go with a BL or Titan built box. Suspension, Wheels, Tyres & Brakes: BC Racing Fully Adjustable Coilovers BC Racing Pillow ball Top Mounts Polished GReddy Front Strut Brace 18" SSR SP1 Alloys – Front: 18x9.5 et25, Rear: 18x11 et24 - 5" rear dish these cost thousands and were special order from Japan!! Michelin Sport Tyres Front (245/40/18) Michelin Sport Tyres Rear (315/30/18) UK Spec 4 Pot Front Brakes. OEM Front Discs Chris Wilson Fast Road Pads Chris Wilson Braided Brake Lines Millers 300+ Fluid I waited 4 months for these wheels - the best looking on a Supra in my opinion. I went for the biggest dish possible on the rear, and most clearance on the front for big brake kits. Interior: Recaro SR Bucket Seats - in fantastic condition, no wear to bolsters or tears etc Custom bucket seat runners – custom welded to sit lower and means tall people don’t hit their head on the roof! Momo Italy Black/Carbon Steering Wheel Quick Release Hub Custom Silver Alloy Boss Momo Handbrake with Leather Gaiter 52mm Prosport Electrical Boost Gauge 52mm Prosport Oil Pressure Gauge 52mm Prosport Oil Temp Gauge 52mm AEM AFR Gauge Miami GT Twin A-pillar Pod Lockup Switch Full Dash Resprayed in Satin Black Supra Pure Sport Black Floor Mats Full Set of Chrome Dash Rings The interior is all very smart, with the dash painted in satin black and the chrome rings its given it a more modern look. The steering wheel is nice and small, and can be popped off using the quick release hub in seconds. The Recaro seats are very comfy and hold you in superbly. Only thing I’d do to finish interior would be re-trim front seats in black leather. Exterior: Genuine Do-Luck Front Bumper Carbon film in Front Bumper Lockable Aero Catches Trial Rear Bumper C-West Side Skirts Custom flared rear arches, extended 20mm TRD Rear Spoiler with Carbon Blade and Carbon End Caps Wiper Blade, Washer Jet and Badges Removed and Smoothed Tinted Rear Quarters and Back Windows Clear Side Markers Facelift front headlights Facelift rear lights Honda S2000 Stubby Ariel This car has been carefully modified to still look classy while maintaining the aggressive Supra stance. The rear arches have been made wider by around 20mm to cover the massive rear wheels. The front bumper, side skirts and rear all drop down to the same level so although they are different brands it all flows perfectly. Weight reduction: Bonnet Blanket Removed Spare Wheel Removed Tool kit and Jack Removed Rear Wiper, Motor and Washer Removed from Boot Steering Wheel & Airbag Replaced with Lightweight Racing Wheel Stock Front Seats Replaced with Lighter Recaros Charcoal Canister Removed Complete De-clutter of Engine Bay Nothing too major but every little helps! ICE: Kenwood Double Din Touch Screen (plays DVD / Ipod / CD) Alpine 3 way 6.5” Speakers Front Pioneer 3 way 6.5” Speakers Rear SRD Front Speaker Brackets 12” JBL 1000w Sub in Carpeted Box Hifonics Amp The sound system is very good, the sub packs a good punch and is stored neatly inside the boot. The Kenwood double din is brilliant, my kids watch DVD’s whenever they come out in the car! Security: Cat 1 Full Closure Alarm and Immobiliser Separate Immobiliser Feature on Syvecs Quick Release Steering Hub With the security on this car, someone is going to REALLY want to take it to have any chance!!! So basically that’s my car….I love it, and I wish I could keep it. With regards to the drivetrain – its currently running stock auto box which has been fine for the last few months (have been driving at 1.4 bar). The car is going back to Matt shortly to finish off the paintwork on the new flared arches, but apart from that the bodywork is In good condition. Only bad points I can think of would be the facelift headlights could do with a small refurb as the large chrome ring is corroded, and one of the rear coilovers can knock when it’s cold (like most coilovers!) – most likely to be the top mount. The 5" dish on the rear wheels has a few marks from when it snowed without warning last Christmas so could do with just the lip refurbed by Ibrar. I have spent literally thousands on this car, and Lee has put so much time and effort into it that I’ll never recoup what it owes me, nor would I expect to. But as mentioned given the choice I would not be selling. **************************** LAST UPDATE I'm giving this one more chance as im picking up my new car very soon... PRICE DROP £21,000 no offers If this isn't sold once i've got the new car i will be breaking it for parts.... ****************************** Here is a link to my 2 project build threads: 2010: http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?219804-Jamesy-s-Billet-6765H-Single-Conversion-!&highlight=jamesy%27s+billet 2011: http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?249719-Jamesy-s-2011-Billet-6765H-Project-!!

Jamesy Posted February 3, 2012 Author Share Posted February 3, 2012 Thanks guys. Its certainly by far the best car i've ever owned and prob the fastest i will ever own! Ive had a few people now ask me if id be breaking it and asking for certain parts ... In short, with the amount of work Lee's put into this and amount of time and money its taken to get to where it is now, i would hate to break it for parts, although i know id get my full price in parts alone, i really want it to go to a good home It is a stunning car mate and worth the money all day long! What you buying next...you joining the GTR bandwagon!? Naa mate not a massive GT-R fan to be honest with the recent stories of engine failures! You want cash not pm's Pocahontas, any news on the job front Should know in next couple weeks mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
