1996 Supra TT6, 440bhp on stock j-spec, 80,000 miles


Recommended Posts

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:

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.

"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.
