cheekymonkey Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 Officially the fastest manual car on stock turbos on the forum (See the Drag Racing Hall of Fame ): http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?166336-Supra-Drag-Racing-Times&p=2147216&viewfull=1#post2147216 After 13 years of ownership I feel it’s time for my beloved Supra to move on to a new owner. I cannot justify the insurance any more for the amount of use it gets. I know that this has been on and off for sale over the past year, but this time it’s for real..! This is a lovely understated example - you’re not getting a blingy single conversion with loads of gauges all over the place! The car drives beautifully - it’s planted thanks to the suspension rebuild CW did when I first got the car, and now the engine is spot-on thanks to a bottom end rebuild performed by Whifbitz. Car is located in Swindon, Wiltshire, and inspections are welcome, no test drives without insurance, I’m happy to take you for a drive though. The headlines are: 1996 Facelift, TT, 6 speed manual, Gunmetal Grey, non-VVTI Stock twins mapped to 440 bhp by Ryan G at Surrey Rolling Road Apexi PowerFC Racelogic TC with Digital Adjuster / Launch Control AVS Model 5 wheels Hurst Line Lock Kit Water Injection Mint Momo steering wheel with VERY HIGH QUALITY Works Bell quick-release system Pictures at http://imgur.com/a/YgkvA Mileage: 80,000 miles MOT: March 2019 Price - £23,000 Full spec list below. When I obtained the car from a forum member in 2007 the only modifications were to the body plus a boost controller. All of the other mods were done during my ownership using well known vendors - Chris Wilson, RyanG and Paul Whiffin. The bad points: Very few issues considering this a 20 year old car, but there a couple of points to note: 1. The engine warning light blinks on momentarily when you let your foot off the throttle after acceleration. This is really not a big deal, and is caused by the boost sensor reading too low a value on throttle-off. Ryan G explained this to me after our last mapping session and I trust him completely! The fix would be to fit a 3.0 bar boost sensor (which I will supply with the car) but this would mean another re-map - which I have not done because there would be no benefit until something else changes on the car (FMIC perhaps?). 2. I scratched the bumper getting my bike out of the garage. 3. Passenger side sill has had a scrape/crack and needs to be fixed by a bodyshop, and honestly the rest of the bodykit could do with a touch up at the same time. 4. Incomplete trim in the boot. Stripped this out years ago. Some of the bits I still have, what I have you can have but it might need to be modified to fit around the water injection pump and tank. I have original carpet and didn’t want to cut it.

rider Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 "you’re not getting a blingy single conversion with loads of gauges all over the place!" Some people like that kind of bling There is a mileage discrepancy with the ad to the online MOT records which have the car at 104k miles. GLWS this time around, can't be an easy call after 13 years together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
