Notts_TT Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Hi Guys I'm currently kitting my Supra with Ridox kit but I'm keeping all stock bits and not doing anything that's not reverseable. If I was to go whole hog and put rear ridox arches on etc and cut stock rears do you think it would affect future value against a stock Supra. Over next 6 months I'm planning Big Single too so engine won't be stock either ? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over next 6 months I'm planning Big Single too so engine won't be stock either ? Thanks Generally speaking stock examples of Supra's are always a guaranteed sell and command a premium. Highly modified cars may be worth more in parts purchased for the car, but the value never translates properly into the actual selling price. This has been the case for the last 5-10 years of supra selling, I don't see it changing anytime soon, especially as 'mint' unmolested examples are becoming scarce. If you modify the car, you have to take a bet that someone will like exactly what you did to the car and is willing to pay more for it. Sometimes the bet doesn't work out, and you see a lot of big spec cars being broken for parts instead. If you are building the car just for you with no cares about future resale etc, then go balls out. If you are already having doubts about how it will sell in future, then poking holes in your chassis to mount a wide arch kit probably isn't the move for you.

As Mike says if you are having doubts as to whether you will keep the car then its a consideration to think about but if you have no plans of selling in the near future then go all out for what you want I had the same thoughts about my white Supra when I put the Ridox on that but have since ended up going all out and am so glad I have done so as I get more enjoyment out of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hitbox Junkie Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Seems that they are only going up in value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
