tooquicktostop Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 It's going to cost you well over 5,000 to convert an auto so best holding out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicky Posted May 13, 2017 Author Share Posted May 13, 2017 I'm aware mate, was budgeting about 6k to convert so i don't leave myself short, but also means i won't be paying through the roof for a auto single. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooquicktostop Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 Looks like a good base car with a 6 speed and 500 BHP https://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/toyota/supra/toyota-supra-single-turbo/7136176 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j_jza80 Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 The classifieds would be utter carnage if it was once per day yeah once a week but other people commenting on your thread gives you a 'free' bump, like I've just done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheTurtleshead Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 This one on gumtree https://www.gumtree.com/p/cars-vans-motorbikes/toyota-supra/1240996624?utm_campaign=socialbuttons&utm_content=app_ios&utm_medium=social&utm_source=sms I'd say that was about perfect. A few thousand in the OP's budget to tidy the mechanicals and the described paint problems. An old school single setup but at the time the parts were quality.

sidewaysdan Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Yep if I had a spare £15k definitely a good price considering it's a 6speed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicky Posted May 22, 2017 Author Share Posted May 22, 2017 Think it's sold, it was perfect for me but someone had their flights booked to view it so I wasn't going to book my flights for after it incase he bought it ^ by looks of it he already did buy it as the ads been taken down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j_jza80 Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 It is an ancient spec, sounds like the single was probably done a long time ago, and the old style HKS manifold has been replaced for a 'custom one' (usually code for a crap eBay manifold). HKS probably haven't even sold a T04R turbo kit for these cars for over 10 years now. Might have been a bargain, but could equally be a complete money pit. Given the distances involved, probably best avoiding unless someone local to the car can give it a thorough once over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think you're right on that one, would need to out the turbo kit and maybe upgrade ecu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
