Chingy Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 (edited) For those interested a somewhat interesting however different build. For context…. my son turned three this year and the little petrol head he already is has been wanting me to get him a car (I know at three) and one in his favourite colour blue. So there I had it, the reason to my wife that I had to get another Supra, the only downside is trying to find a clean stock car but now also one in RSP. A year on and I had bid and lost on two cars in Japan, viewed a car in Denmark, and reviewed two possible cars in Australia and Canada? However I could not simply secure a clean RSP. That is until earlier this month……, through great friends and support I was able to secure a 2001 RSP VVTI TT 6 speed. The only twist is that this example has a some 1200bhp fully built engine running a PT7675…. Not quite the stock car we was after. So there we have it……, starting off where most would finish we are returning the car back to OEM+ Once again I am fortunate enough to have SRD project managing the build and we hope to have this one across the line by the summer of 2022. Enjoy Edited November 22, 2021 by Chingy I can’t speak (see edit history) 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter P Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 Finding one brand new V161 is pretty rare, but finding two?! Amazed you managed to find them, but I guess if you’re willing to pay for the right bits, they are out there. Very nice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes we all had a giggle when the second create new 161 came up and was like… got to have it what are the chances lol. Funny thing is, the RSP came with an absolute mint V161 as well that has yet to be installed… got a video from Paul Cheshire giving it a clean bill of health after it was opens and inspected and simply resealed. Also I bought a low mileage 35,000km stock 2jz out of another local Supra to swap into the RSP (so can sell the built engine) but had to buy the gearbox on the back of it as well Going to end up with more V161’s than Toyota. Here’s the lose box from the RSP and the other one from the separate engine bought. All this to go back to stock 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think you right… I know of three create 161’s and I am privileged to own two of them. Think there are though a few 160’s floating about still created like these in the states.

Guess you are having to replace all the rubbers and seals in your boxes as a matter of course? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also love the look of your black one ….. should be a good one, a little different and SRD are looking forward their expansion into exclusive Heritage builds. Very pleased to have a build slot. Much appreciated, the black car is awesome, SRD did a blueprint 1000bhp build on that in 2018. Was meant to swap it out for a R34 when the RSP landed but couldn’t let it go.. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drives like new and those who have also driven her say it’s the best box they have ever felt. No faults, leaks whatsoever. They are still in the factory create wrapped, sealed and greased internal and externally by Toyota. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
