Sheefa Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Hi Unfortunately it has been confirmed today that my role is "at risk" and no longer exists in the new structure after 9 years with the company. Whilst I will be entitled to a healthy redundancy package, I have just taken delivery of my new BMW 335 Touring under contract and therefore I cannot justify keeping the Supra at this unsettling time with a young family to care for. I purchased the car only in October 2015 off a member from here who owned it for 15 years! He bought it from Toyota and I have the old warranty, service book etc and confirmation slips. The car has now covered just over 90,000 miles. The car went to SRD in October 2015 for a lot of work and full servicing (at a cost of £4K with new suspension) bringing her up to a near new standard. This included: New HKS HyperMax IV Suspension Brand New OEM Fuel and Brake Lines New Toyota Timing Pulley, Toyota Belt Idler and Gates Kevlar Racing Belt New PHR Idler Pulley New Walbro 485 Pump & Fuel Setup DEI T4 Titanium Heat Shield Turbo Blanket & DEI Titanium Exhaust Wrap for Downpipe New SRD Turbo Oil Feed and SRD Turbo water line kit Full Service with Brake, Oil, Fuel Filter and Fluid changes Actual Spec as follows: 1995 Toyota Supra UK 6 Speed - Single turbo conversion Engine The engine has been built specifically for high HP and high temps, balanced; compression is in spec and almost identical across all cylinders (189 across 5, number 5 at 183). Fully Built and balanced engine & Head with less than 10K miles. HKS (Carrillo) rods Oversize CP Piston and Ring Set (3.1 litres) New crank HKS 256 Inlet cam HKS 264 outlet cam Ferrea Ti retainers Polished Q45 throttle body, manifold and cam covers. Engine Components Boost Logic crank pulley and Crank Damper Alloy pulleys Gates Racing Kevlar Cam belt New Toyota Timing Pulley New OEM flywheel New Toyota Belt Idler PHR Idler Pulley Modifed oil pump.

The U.K. Specs especially in manual form are getting extremely rare now, I actually bought this as an investment. I believe there are only 3 UK Spec Silver Manual Cars left, certainly logged on here anyway. Prices are only going one way, especially for home grown UK Supra's.

JasonR24 Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Love this car. Does it still have the piston slap? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheefa Posted January 21, 2016 Author Share Posted January 21, 2016 Love this car. Does is still have the piston slap? Let's not go through this debacle again like the other thread! Lee @ SRD checked it over and all is absolutely fine. Compression test was great and honestly you can hardly tell it's a built engine. A little piston slap with oversized Pistons is entirely normal and I strongly suggest and urge people to read through the threads and more about piston slap in general before being put off by this comment. Happy to also get videos up too. Here is a link to a cold startup I've just recorded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glanza_Mike Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Owwwwww maayynnnnn, no more car meets Really sorry to hear this mate.

tooquicktostop Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Sorry to see you are having to sell so soon, understandable though and after having a £4,000 service at SRD someone is going to get a great car for the spring, best of luck with the sale and on getting a new job soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Seeing as a stock UK spec manual in this condition with this mileage would probably be worth £15k - £17k, this seems way to cheap, especially considering some of the parts fitted (the CCW's and Syvecs especially) Personally, I'd either stick the price up another £2k, or at least fit some different wheels and sell the CCW's separately. I suppose the only issue is that there are quite a few nice singles for sale at the moment. GLWS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheefa Posted January 21, 2016 Author Share Posted January 21, 2016 Thanks all, most appreciate the kind words. The car is stunning and completely Stock on the outside except the Whifbitz Front Lip. I've just repainted all of the U.K. Brakes. The car doesn't need or want anything else. She is 100% ready to go. I am only gauging interest at present and will also do so on the wheels in a separate for sale thread here: http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?330250-Only-Gauging-Interest-Genuine-CCW-BS-Titanium-Street-Wheels-MINT-condition Thanks Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee P Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Love this car. Does it still have the piston slap? There is no issues with the engine. The previous owner mentioned the noise on the last for sale thread but it's perfectly normal for these aftermarket pistons. Compression test is perfect and no smoke at all. Very strong engine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SupraAyf Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 That's probably my near-on perfect looking Supra, and boy, with that engine under the bonnet. I think the phrase "something special" comes to mind. You've got style mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev.O Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Really sorry to hear you're having to sell Greg, though I can completely understand. Best of luck selling in my opinion a very reasonably price UK manual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheefa Posted January 23, 2016 Author Share Posted January 23, 2016 Thanks again guys.

Please note for prospective buyers, this is only provisionally for sale. I won't be able to accept any deposit until February. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter P Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Hmmm, wanted this the first time around when Lee advertised it! Wonder if I can find a buyer for my IS-F?! Sorry to hear your having to sell it Greg. Looks like you've made it even better in your brief ownership! Great car at a great price IMHO. Really hope it finds a loving home. Don't sell the wheels!!

Guest knebworth01 Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Well done on the sale, great looking car and clearly had money lavished on it! I must say, I don't know where people get off on posting negative comments about a car when you're trying to sell it (piston slap). Keep your nose out if you've got nothing positive to add I say!
