drift_bear Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 Just seen this on autotrader and wanted to know more about it or if it has been in this club. I like my unique looking cars and real head turners and this is up my street - http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201220471906041/sort/default/usedcars/price-to/7000/model/supra/make/toyota/quicksearch/true/radius/1501/postcode/ab416dz/page/2?logcode=p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fitz Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 Looks familiar but can't put my finger on it. Also 2006, 55 plate Supra? lol. I'd also guess at that price that its an NA that they have added £1-2k on....either that or its a great value TT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham1984 Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 That would be a bargain if it was a TT.... I can't see that happening though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham1984 Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 You do get lucky though, look at blackies TT I am still crying at missing out on that, I wish I was a bit nearer as I would go and have a look for you..... And myself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham1984 Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 Yeah you would go and look for me but end up buying it yourself The buying will only take place when monopoly money is accepted currency. I just saw your wanted thread and there is a TT Aerotop up for grabs in your budget, It was a NA originally and could do with a few more details but it may be worth a peek at.

letmeshowyou Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 I spotted this too. Great looking car. Surely gotta be an N/A for that money, but worth converting for the cost of the work that's been done to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
listy Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 I reckon its an N/A priced with the bodywork tbh. Looks nice though, and is that a Ridox front on it? Plus the Top Secret CF bonnet are both good things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westy Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 It has a full Ridox kit with carbon lips! Nice car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dim Sum Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 For that price it does look good, but it's a shame there's no interior and engine pictures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drift_bear Posted May 20, 2012 Author Share Posted May 20, 2012 For that price it does look good, but it's a shame there's no interior and engine pictures. That's why I hope 1 of the local members would be nice enough to view it for me or might know who the owner was Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve.m Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 I don't know of the owner or the car but if I get time I'll go and have a look for you as it's only down the road from me. I'm mega busy this week so you'll have to bear with me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dukenukem Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 This is just up the road from my work too. I should have time to pop round there tomorrow afternoon and let you know the crack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drift_bear Posted May 20, 2012 Author Share Posted May 20, 2012 Cheers guys would be much appreciated since I'm the other end of the country lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faye Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 I'm not into body kits so not sure if this is a body kit quirk, but the front wing is pre facelift, but the rear lights on the side are what you'd normally see on a facelift car. Perhaps worth checking its accident history? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dukenukem Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 (edited) Sorry...but it's an NA. However it's had some cash thrown at it. If your still interested: Imported 2006, one UK owner. L reg (94?/95?) 122k km (not converted). 5-speed manual NA-SZ de-limited. HID headlights. Pre-facelift interior/dash and headlights but facelift rear lights and rear-quarter side indicators. Heated leather front seats and elecrtic driver's seat. The dash and gearshift surround is done in carbon fibre (maybe just wrap) including the roof lining. It has an Engine Start button (possibly in where the cig lighter was but can't remember). Standard non-folding windows. Alarm and immobilser. Water Temp., Oil Temp. and Oil Pressure gauges in a carbon fibre box fitted in place of the upper glove box. They hadn't cleaned the interior yet so wasn't looking as good as it could and there's few marks like you'd expect for a car this age, but then again carbon fibre dash with leather seats means it should clean up pretty good. It's got TIEN coilovers with electric adjustable dampers (from the cockpit). Front and rear strutbrace. Front parking sensor and a reversing camera (cunningly poking through a small hole at the top of the 'A' in the rear number plate) plugged into the Kenwood double-DIN stereo/tv and looks like an ipod dock in the centre arm rest. The Kenwood also has sat nav built-in with the aerial being a black shark fin on the roof. It has a Pro-Racing ZZ exhaust. Rota-Wheels with a couple of small chips on the front and rear near side rims. The VIN tag says it was once silver (199). Looks like a reasonably recent re-spray. There's a small crack on the front bumper but other than that the body work's pretty good. The VIN also says W58 (factory fitted 5-speed) and A01B (I think this means a Torsen LSD...if so then ). One of the vents on the Top Secret Carbon Fibre bonnet just fouls on the fan cover which is pushing the drivers side of the bonet up a little at the edge and the gap between the bonnet and the wing on the passenger's side isn't entirely even all the way up but still it looks good. They had to take away the metal mesh from the vent to reduce the interference on the fan cover a little bit. Pics: Proof of NA.... Shark fin satnav aerial: Small crack on front bumper: Mesh taken from one vent to reduce interference on the fan cover: Bonnet lifting slightly on the side due to the above: Slightly uneven bonnet to wing gap, possibly due to the above: Parking sensor under front number plate: So there you go.
