Leaving Supra Ownership

Recommended Posts

So it looks like my Supra days are over for now.

 

But I will still be on here mooching around and supporting with any parts you guys may need.

 

I have been struggling with only 1x practiacal car (the wifes Cube) and a handful of kids, so I needed something bigger, with rear seats that I can actually get people into.

 

So, the Supra should be going this Saturday and in its place, staying loyal to the Toyota brand, I put a deposit down on a JZX90 Chaser Tourer V :)

 

She is a 1JZ-GTE Auto, all factory apart from the R32 GTR wheels.

 

Covered 51,000 miles and appears to in great condition :)

I have a few plans lined up, but nothing drastic. Will be looking to get a set of standard rims from Japan, then fitting Coilovers and spacers if needed to get her sitting right, but still looking stock :)

 

From there, just a general interior tidy and then more power as she will be my first Turbo car :)

 

Will be sure to get more pics up soon if both deals go without problems.

Stunning underside, that looks mint, what a find, I would have been tempted by that just on the condition. As you say, loads of Waxoyl (although some say there are better preservatives these days). More pics please, in due course and being the nosey barsteward that I am, I would have to whisper "How much". Feel free to tell me to MYOB ;) Happy Christmas!

Yea, she's pretty clean..!

 

What else do people use thats is better than Waxoyl? Something clear would be ideal, rather than slapping piles of black nasty all over the shop.

 

I wont give you the exact figure, but its under £5k lol

Under 5K, you know how to upset a fella, don't you? :) I used tio see a lot of older cars that had had Dinitrol wax protection underneath and in the cavities and they often seemed to have survived very well. But I am not sure if it's still going. I am sure others will have ideas, or ask on one of the exotic classic forums, people won't be shy of doing things right on stuff that that's north of £100K. (Like a historically interesting race Lotus Cortina MKI. I don't like underseal on older cars, too easy to trap moisture in, unless it's done after it's been in a hot spray booth for a couple of days with the fans on, but that'll cost a pretty penny these days with fuel bills what they are. Looks lovely, great find.

Apologies lol

 

Will have to scout around and see what the latest trend is, i could always let it sit in the warehouse a few days to air out on the ramp. Then have a bash at it. Fortunately Toyota seem to have the metal work dialled in on it, so want to preserve it as best as a daily car can be preserved...!

Acf-50 was discussed on here and looks interesting.

 

Will give that a look,

 

A lovely clean find, that 52k-er knocks the spots off fresh import 30k jobbies. :)

 

Still pretty low miles for a 96 model :)

 

Welcome to the JZX life Richie ;)

 

I haven't took delivery just yet...! Do you have a JZX too?

Picked the car up on Sunday, 400 mile round trip, but well worth it in the end...

 

6am I grabbed the wife's Nissan Cube and a friend, then made the treck up north.

 

It all looked spot on, so fuelled her up and drove about 200mile back home,

She drives extremely well, pulls like a train and super clean inside and out, apart from the mats which need a good scrub. Like driving a big sofa lol

 

Took a few snaps of the inside, will put more up when I can, but pics just dont do it justice.

Other than having R32 GTR wheels, thats the only mod so far, all completely unmolested, original condition :)

 

It also had a Blue tinited rear window blind from Toyota, but I wasnt a fan of it, so its been removed and packaged up for safe keeping or to sell...

Very nice, you should be happy with that!

 

Very happy Chris..! :)

 

Very nice rich

 

Cheers bud :)

Cheers dude..!

 

Looks so comfortable, lovely car

 

It is, very comfy! I have plans to up the power and add a few nice bits without destroying how the car looks. Need to do some digging on what power modifications can be done without killing the engine....
