well i got my supra all sorted, clutch done got to 500 miles run in today, all good now the diff is grumbling at the power !

i know its only a diff but all the work ive had to do to get the car right im kind of loosing interest.

i find myself gaugeing what the parts are worth ?

im thinking of half price of new

like my brakes all greedy i have the receipt for £5000 so value them at £2500 but are they likely to sell ?

same as the wheels volk rays ce28n £700 each plus delivery and i have 6, so £2300 for the wheels as they include 2 good 295/30/19 r888s.

new gearbox from toyota was £5000 and carbonetics was £3000 so £4000 for clutch and gearbox

hks 3.4 stroker engine with full t51r spl turbo kit £30000 to build so £10000

and the shell 2 owners 44000 miles, mint, full do luck kit, 2" widened rear, 2000 model number plate S6PRA maybe £4000 with hks suspension rolling on stock rims with all interior but driveline and engine bay emptied.

and a full 1 off hand made 5" exhaust with 3 silencers cost £5000 so maybe £2000

theres loads of other parts but thats biggest money parts how are my prices though ? bearing in mind all parts are new or as new very low miles.

Don't do it, that's such a nice car.

 

it is lovely, mint and insanely fast, ive just spent so much time getting it right i kind of feel disheartened now and thinking about moveing on.

 

Try selling it first of you decide not to keep it, as said it would be a shame to break it, as well as a headache for yourself

 

theres a few that have been hanging around for ages ive noticed and not sold, and i wouldnt let it go for less than £27000.

breaking it isnt an issue for me but i will be 100% certain its what i want before i do it, but i agree a terrible shame to break although im sure the shell would live on.

I'd be a bit weary about breaking dude! Me and my mate have found it to be really slow selling stuff at the moment, loads of high end parts are just sitting around ( HKS big twin kit, 6 speed box carbonetics diff etc etc) just getting low balled constantly by people wanting parts for half the price advertised for even though 6 months ago they'd happily pay 3k for a 6-speed conversion, I just don't think people have got the cash ATM be it recession or whatever! :(

I think people just don't want to pay decent money for anything.

I think the usual parts would sell, cam covers etc, I feel you may loose alot of money on the high end parts as well.

 

Though some people may pay for top notch quality items and good parts, I would of thought there would be someone willing to pay top notch money for that car as a whole. Better to sit on the car until it sells than break it. It's a stunner.
