michael Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 NO LONGER FOR SALE Purchased June 2003 as a 100% standard example with full Toyota history: http://www.megaboost.co.uk/supra/mine/week1 http://www.megaboost.co.uk/supra/mine/week2 Since then I have gradually (and tastefully) modified the car in order to give more power and better handling whilst retaining the great looks that Toyota intended: http://www.megaboost.co.uk/supra/mine/japs2005/IMG_2969.JPG However despite still having a real love for the car I feel I've achieved pretty much all I want to with it, the next steps really being a single conversion or cosmetic tweeks such as wheels or a kit. I have the budget, I'm just not sure I have the desire so I'm considering passing the car on for someone else to enjoy.... http://www.megaboost.co.uk/supra/mine/pics-10-5-04/DCP_4144.jpg Engine Mods ------------ Apexi AVC-R Apexi SAFC II Blitz NuR Spec R Exhaust 2 x Chris Wilson Decat Pipes HKS Exhaust Gaskets Blitz LM Front Mount Intercooler Denso Iridium Sparkplugs K&N Panel Filter TRD Oil Cap TRD Radiator Cap ENVY Chrome Radiator Cover ENVY Chrome Battery Clamp ENVY Chrome PAS Cap Cover ENVY Chrome Radiator Clamps ENVY Chrome Brake Fluid Cap ENVY Chrome Upper Radiator Hard Pipe Miami GT Chrome Battery Cover Custom Polished Intercooler Cover Mikalor Hose Clamps Black Painted Engine Cover Brakes & Suspension -------------------- Standard Disks and 4 pots Porterfield Race Pads (Front) Hawk HP+ Pads (Rear) Goodridge Braided Hoses DOT 5.1 Brake Fluid KYB Shocks Eibach Springs Exterior -------- Pretty much as Mr Toyota intended Facelift Toyota clear front lenses Facelift rear lights (still to be fitted) Toyota clear side repeaters Various standard bits replaced for new shiny ones Interior ---------- Standard Ivory Leather Ivory Toyota Car Mats Dash lights converted to blue LED / EL 'Light Smoke' Window Tints Rims ------------- Standard 17" Wheels refinished in 'Chrome Shadow' During my short period of ownership I've replaced the UK Turbos, the lights, the brakes, shocks, Intercooler, radiator and much, much more - the car is fairly future-proof as it stands with only the signs of valve stem wear (not a massive amount) to give it's age away. Paint is in very good condition for the year (especially for a UK). The niggles normally thrown at a buyer of such a car have been sorted already - at great expense http://www.megaboost.co.uk/supra/mine/japs2005/IMG_2963.JPG The car will come with a selection of original parts (all in good working order), lots of receipts, a set of spare 17" alloys with legal tyres and a huge pile of 17" tyres (if required). The mileage has just sneaked over the 100,000 mark, it's taxed and MOT'd until July 2006. The car doesn't have a dedicated service history from June 2003 onwards, upon buying it I had a full service carried out by Toyota and from then on did most of the work myself or used trusted garages. Oil has been changed at 3000 mile intervals with high quality products (Lexus filters etc), Forlife has been flushed and replaced 3 times because I'm a perfectionist and so on - I go overboard on these things If you are genuinely interested please get in touch. The most recent pic I have was taken last Saturday: http://www.megaboost.co.uk/imoc/elvington-imoc-sept-05/IMG_4309.JPG NO LONGER FOR SALE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedM Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 I can't believe you really want to sell your Supe. Have you been sniffing paint fumes or sumfink? Is it going to take a can of Whoopass and a topping of Smackdown gravy to make you see sense? Seriously, what could compete? Change for changes sake is wrong. Go single. Go on.....

Yeah, number 8 of 35 apparently Back to the '2 eh It was always going to happen one day, hopefully it will be soon but I suspect this TRD won't be around for long If it doesn't work out I'll fall back into the 'undecided' car buyer mode Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
