Mike B Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 OK, heavy heart... In truth I have not used her much in the last 5 years, and I have a newborn coming in 2 months. I don't drive her to her potential, and work harder now than ever. With a newborn, commitments to my business and my sport, she needs a new life... There is some work that needs doing on her now, but I know I don't and will not have the time. My life is just too busy, and it's not going to get any easier.. I bought here from one of the boards old school members back in the day, and have had her since 2008. Year:1999 Facelift: yes Trans: 6 speed Mileage: 81717 (first 24k on km though so more like 71,000 MOT remaining: just passed last week Service history: personal but receipts galore Car's location: Top of North Yorkshire Modifications: see below Engine Specifications: built July 2005 Assembly fully balanced.

Good bits: There is a lot in the car - it's a vey high spec, but it needs work to get it tidied up and singing. Spool is very good, response excellent - ecu is brilliant. Just put 4 new tyres on her a week ago. alloys were re-painted a year ago and are perfect aside one scuff. Bad bits: This is where I need to list all the niggles that I simply do not have time to sort :-( - Needs valve seals. Smokes very lightly on startup, but doesn't use any oil. - Could use a re-spray - as the paintwork is tired and it needs some rust sorting on rear arches and some of the body work sorting - Exhaust needs some fab work. Downpipe has a crack - I have a new downpipe, but not had time to get the fab work done to install. - She needs a new set of coilpacks - on long runs in the summer she starts to missfire under heavy boost. Fine when normal running temps. Plugs were replaced recently and have no more than 600 miles on them. - could do with a new bonnet liner. Price - well, you know, I'm open to reasonable offers - I know what it would fetch if 100%, how much it would cost to get it there, know it's a rare example at the moment, but I just don't have the time to sort... This is a fantastic bit of kit for someone who wants a top spec supra but is prepared to do some work. email is; [email protected] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike B Posted July 26, 2016 Author Share Posted July 26, 2016 Low offers would always come regardless. I'm in no desperate hurry, need the time more than the money, but if the price is right.. The tt6 is pretty rare these days, This spec and age is very rare, even when I bought her.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter P Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Nice car with not a lot needed to make it a really nice car! Best of luck with the sale. Can't see it hanging around long with the current market/high demand. Good luck with the newborn. Exciting times! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob W Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 I remember when Terry built this, was an absolute rocket. See you've done some upgrading with the ECU so I'm sure it's runs even better now. GLWS and congrats on your new born coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike B Posted September 8, 2016 Author Share Posted September 8, 2016 Baby is here, business is mental, and sleep is fleeting! Amazing how things ahve changed over the last 3 weeks. As much as it pains me to say I would really like to sell the supra before I undergo paint and seals.. It's a really great car. needs some work, but ready to go to a new home :-/ I have all receipts for the work, and over the years there is a lot money in there. I't my intention to get the seals done in the next 2 weeks, so I would really like to sell her before I start putting my own money in, for it will just be added onto the end price when she comes up for sale again in the spring...

ripped_fear Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 This is STUPID money imo. Far to cheap and If I wasn't so deep into my current build I would have had this off you in a heart beat. GLWS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Action Jackson Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 My good lord this is hideously tempting. I'm after a TT 6spd but I don't think I would do a highly modified Supra justice. Let alone the fact the max BHP car ive ever driven is a 4wd 300bhp. Someone is going to snatch this like nobody's business. I'm actually quite sad it won't be me. GLWS Mike, congrats on the baby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike B Posted September 9, 2016 Author Share Posted September 9, 2016 Thanks, baby is fun, but hard work, alongside running my own business! Yeah - I'm massively pushed for time, just being realistic with my options. If it doesn't sell, the money that goes into the car over winter - plus the added prices at the start of the next years summer season coming would certainly add to the sale price significantly, so someone could easily swoop in and get a bargain right here and now. Lowish milage TT6 VVTI with all that tech.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
