MySupra Posted June 8, 2013 Author Share Posted June 8, 2013 I can't sell it, my dad the sadly lost his battle in April helped me find my manual and also stole my car a few times so it's means a lot more then it should Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Budz86 Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Pictures and a current spec list would help; Brakes Suspension Servicing Tyres Wheels Interior Just a starting point mate We all know these sometimes mean more than they should! If you are intent on keeping it, what sort of use did you have in mind? Road? Track? Show? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MySupra Posted June 8, 2013 Author Share Posted June 8, 2013 everything on it is standard i want it for shows and just a weekend toy in nice weather Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie1985 Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Get the bodywork sorted and drop a TT in it. Should even have enough left over to BPU it but make sure the box is ok first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DodgyRog Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 As you have reason to keep it Bodywork sounds like your not happy with, so get some quotes to get that sorted first Just remember if odd panels need spraying, it is ridiculously hard to Colour match Silver, get a guarantee in writing for the colour match being spot on in outside daylight If you have a lot of paint issues, maybe better to spend a large chunk on a full respray Then you might just have enough left for a TT transplant, but you will need to get on Keron's waiting list for that, so you will have time to save up a bit more for the Extra's....Clutch and BPU upgrades This is all assuming you don't need the consumables sorting, Suspension components, Tyres, Interior etc etc Another thing to consider if you have never had it done, is a proper Full Geo setup done, can transform the handling if needed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supra Gaz Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Looks nice, a good service is the best place to start. See what's up with it and go from there. If the bodywork is an issue look into the plasti-dip stuff, it's a clever way of changing the colour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham1984 Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Sell it and add to the 6k fund, there are some great cars up for grabs for that amount unless you wanted to build/create your own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 If you must keep the car, I'd go for a VVTi 1JZ and v161 conversion. Spend the rest of the money tidying it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_jekyll Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 do you need it to be faster or do you want it look different or ridedifferent? all depends what you want from the car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Sorry to hear of your loss, but never get emotional about cars. Next thing is you'll be saying you're emotional about a girl and getting married 6K is a lot to spend on an N/A when it would buy a stunning TT.

kill1308 Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 If you don't want to sell the car, use the money for a TT transplant Should have a bit of change left over for some tasteful styling mods Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuldhat Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Agreed.. Get a TT6... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
