RACsupra Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 This is by far the best car I have owned. I rate ownership of this car even higher than my 22B impreza, which in itself shows what I feel about this car. I don’t have to sell and to be honest, not 100% sure its the right choice in doing so. Only advertising as I want to tick various other car boxes and continuing ill health means that time is running out. I've owned this car since November 2014 and consider myself to be a mature owner. Toyota Supra Twin Turbo RZ-S VVTI Tiptronic (MKIV Facelift) March 1998 ( R Registration) This car was first purchased in the UK 13th June 2003 for £23,350.00 With all the purchase documentation, Certificate of cancelled registration and pictures of the car at the time of importation, Every UK M.O.T. present. Even includes 15 old paper tax discs. Japan Maintenance note and Supra owners manual etc etc. All part of the massive history file. Exterior Colour = Quick Silver Metallic Graphite (1B9) Interior = Full black leather interior with black trim, electric drivers seat Mileage = 85,000 miles M.O.T. = 10th August 2018 Car has LSD Suspension / drivetrain HSD MonoPro Coilovers with rear extenders for easy adjustment.

Passenger carbon fibre triple gauge pod (airbag delete) with Defi (style) Oil temp, Oil Pressure and Volt meter gauges. Conlight auto light mounted on windscreen panel. Kenwood DDX8016DABS headunit. DAB aerial, GPS aerial and mic fitted to windscreen area. Kenwood KSC-SW11 under seat subwoofer. Vibe speakers all round. Red seat belts front and back. Fire extinguisher fitted to drivers seat base. Car drives superbly, sounds great inside and out. Bad Parts: Valve stem oil seals, as with most. only on initial start up if left to stand for a few days. Couple of small dents and marks around the car but nothing considering the year. Two star chips on passenger front wheel arch from an inconsiderate arch roll!! Car is SOLD May consider P/ex but only with American pick up, preferably chevy V8 engined Car will make a great investment as is and a great base for anyone wanting to chase high BHP with the all important handling upgrades having been done. Car comes with the original windscreen panel, passenger airbag, original JDM headlights, spare K&N filter and new coil packs and a large history file. Thanks for looking. Pics taken yesterday.....8th Feb 2018 Also has 4 working keys. 1 main key with working lock / unlock buttons on key. 2nd main Toyota key but with not remote buttons. 3rd plain silver metal key. 4th spare cut key.

PJJ Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Car looks lovely. Wish was more in my price range as looking to upgrade from my NA to a TT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect there will be plenty of time to add a few coffers to your purchase fund. I don't expect it to fly out the door being a tiptronic. For some reason people over look them in favour of a manual. Who ever buys it will be very very happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RACsupra Posted February 13, 2018 Author Share Posted February 13, 2018 Pictures are not loading up Sorry about that, i'm sure they were working.....? thanks for highlighting the problem... Anyway, pics of suspension in this thread on the forum.... http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?345675-Suspension-sorted-and Fantastic set up and cannot recommend the products enough, it was a toss up between Figs and Ikeya. Figs help and support was miles better in choosing the set up I wanted and was more confident in the Superpro option with the Figs items for how I wanted the car to feel. I started out chasing a "knock" from the front end, which many people suffer from, if you read the thread above, you'll see I prety much changed everything to get to the bottom of it....... little things annoy me.

Haha well that’s fine, but with thousands of members on the FB sites, their is plenty buying/selling goes on. A lot of new Supra owners won’t come on here and Ebay is just full of tossers and time wasters. Have you got any friends on the FB Supra pages to sell on your behalf?

RACsupra Posted March 5, 2018 Author Share Posted March 5, 2018 Its a case of.......... i'm not 100% sure that I really want to sell it:) by far the best car I have ever owned. Its more a decision that most of my mates have now all moved on to ratrods, pickups etc etc I've wanted a yank pickup for a long time and at the moment feel like the time is right...... also i've been 'lucky' with my health (had life changing accident in 2006) and the Supra is great once in it but to be honest I am struggling a little more now getting in and out. The wife and kids all have FB and yes I could get them to put it on..... its actually the wifes EBay account too..lol Like I say, i'm old, knackered and still very attached to the Supra..... I guees if people know of anyone interested then they would point them in the right direction and it helps get people involved in the forum, which I personally feel has been and continues to be a great source of information....
