Japlover Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 So, as some of you may know/remember I bought the above car from JamieP last August and did have some plans to turn it into a bit of a beast, however now my job has changed I'm needed to have a car to drive to work so have had to take the decision to let this go. Since I bought it, I reckon I've done no more than about 600 miles. Spec list is the same as before, and is as follows: Engine Specifications: 1UZ-FE 4.0L V8 315BHP, 355lbs of torque Large PWR Aluminium radiator with Twin SPAL electric fans Fuel, Tuning & ECU: Link G2 ECU Exhaust: 3" stainless exhaust Drivetrain: R154 5 Speed Box TT6 big case LSD THOR R154 to 1UZ-FE gearbox adaption kit (upgraded model) Bespoke single piece propshaft (made by Dave-MAC propshafts, nuneaton) LSD Suspension, Wheels, Tires & Brakes: Rota SVN's copy of the Rays RE30 Full SUPER PRO polyeurethane bushes throughout KYB Adjustable Shocks Eibach Lowering Springs UK Brakes Front And Rear Interior & ICE: Thor Stainless steel dials on dash and blue LED dash light conversion Full black leather interior Double DIN head unit I have a pretty thick amount of paperwork that comes with the car detailing it's history Here are some pics of her nice and clean in the sun: In the main, it's a great car to drive.... has started for me every time, first time, never let me down, no leaks but there are one or 2 things I need to tell you about: 1 - slight kerb on back right wheel 2 - does need new roof seals (from Toyota, brand new they are £380 inc VAT) (this is where the top of the window meets the roof, think it's a 2 or 3 peice kit from back of the door area, all the way up and along down to the front of the door by the wing mirror) It does drip on your arm a bit when it's raining. 3 - either a new clutch, or just a new clutch plate and thrust bearing - (clutch plate from THOR is about £100) The clutch itself is a single plate clutch from a Toyota Celica - THOR can give you the model number need if you wanted to replace like for like. I was planning on doing the above myself and selling for the same as what I bought it from JamieP, but I do need to get rid, and if the new buyer wanted to add a super charger or twin turbo setup to it, then you'd need a better clutch anyway The price for the above is £6800 OVNO At present the car is NOT advertised elsewhere as I'd love to see it stay in the club, any enquiries please PM me and I'll get back to you ASAP. Car is located in Bristol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Great car. If I had spare money, I'd have it just to say I own a Supra with a V8! GLWS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Japlover Posted March 16, 2012 Author Share Posted March 16, 2012 Insurance isn't too bad TBH, with A-Plan, fully comp, protected NCB and 9 years no claims, I was paying about £750 a year Gaz - I think you should deal with the crisis and buy it.... I'm sure it would make you feel better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supra Gaz Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 You need this car mate. You know it makes sense, why resist? I wish I could justify buying this, im paying for my wedding at the moment and right now im thinking the Supra would be more fun than the misses! This is a great car guys, it is ready to go for crazy power with a Supercharger or Turbo, just needs a good clutch. At least she said I can buy the 1jz I have been leaving pics of about, lucky as I already bought some 264 HKS cams for it haha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonball Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 Roger, Todd and I built that one. To think it once had a 4.6 roush super charged engine in it. Lyndon. I was going to say it needs a SC - why did they take it off? Would put one on in a minute! :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nodalmighty Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 I was going to say it needs a SC - why did they take it off? Would put one on in a minute! :-) Because this forum nearly organised a linching party then we announced it. Bare in mind it was nearly 10 years ago. Lyndon.

Dragonball Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 Ah... the heady days of tribes of roving supra purists eh...? How easy to stick a SC on this one you reckon? Possible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Japlover Posted March 17, 2012 Author Share Posted March 17, 2012 I know its possible, I was looking at a Billet SC which you can get from Aus. They do one for a 1UZ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
