Toyota Supra Twin Turbo RZ-S VVTI Tiptronic 1998

Recommended Posts

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.

Car looks lovely. Wish was more in my price range as looking to upgrade from my NA to a TT.

 

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.

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.

Nope.... never been on Facebook and don’t intend to start....lol

I’m an old fart who’s weirdly managed to survive without it...

 

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?

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....

Well if you do decide to put it on FB I would be happy to stick it on for you with your contact details etc.

I am also a fan of American stuff, I sold my SRT10 pick up a while back, Absolutely loved it and was a beast on the road. I got loads of attention, it sounded amazing and was very fast [emoji41]

Here’s a pic ! image

Now that looks like a lot of fun..

 

I’m wanting to go older, fancy something 50’s.

 

 

Have delayed putting on eBay as have someone possibly interested but whom needs to sell first.
