Richie_k83 Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 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 [ATTACH=CONFIG]216256[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]216257[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]216258[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]216259[/ATTACH] 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.

CarlM Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 Wow that's tidy! Doesn't look like it's done any miles [emoji4] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie_k83 Posted December 23, 2016 Author Share Posted December 23, 2016 Wow that's tidy! Doesn't look like it's done any miles [emoji4] Thats what I thought, will be sure to get some clear Waxoyl under there though, with all this salt on our roads I would like to keep the underside like it is lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 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!

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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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...!

Richie_k83 Posted January 3, 2017 Author Share Posted January 3, 2017 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, [ATTACH=CONFIG]216370[/ATTACH] 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. [ATTACH=CONFIG]216371[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]216372[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]216373[/ATTACH] 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...

Chriss Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 Funny that, I went from a JZX100 to a Cube and Supra, If the 90 is anything like the 100 then it will be a fantastic car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
