KKMMK2N Posted Tuesday at 08:52 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 08:52 PM (edited) Time to sell as I’ve only put 800 miles on the car in the last seven years and the roads around my home are no longer good enough to enjoy driving it. Also, I always keep it in the garage here and I’m getting tired of moving it in and out all the time. I have owned the car for the last twelve years and it is my second Supra whilst being a member on here. Make: Toyota Supra Model: MKIV TT Auto (UK Spec) Year: 1995 Facelift: No Mileage: 111,906 miles MOT remaining: Full Year to April 2026 Service history: Folder full of history comes with the car. Stamped at new on 3rd August 1995 by Toyota dealer Montys of Sheffield, again by them after 1,000 miles and then full dealer service history up to 2008 at 106,810 miles. Serviced by myself from when I bought the car in 2013, I am a Toyota enthusiast and a qualified mechanic with many years experience with looking after Supras. I am the 6th owner from new. Engine oil replaced using Millers CFS 10W-60 with new genuine Toyota oil filter at 111,699 miles. Only ever used genuine Toyota red coolant, replaced in 2016 when the radiator was replaced. New Denso aircon condenser and radiator were replaced in 2016 along with the radiator support crossmember and rubber feet which had corroded. The stock turbos were both rebuilt in 2018 by MCM turbos due to slight end play movement found during routine check (not turbo failure) along with a host of other related parts including turbo gaskets, oil drain hoses, MAP sensor, etc. The genuine Toyota Timing belt, tensioner, idler pulley and the front crankshaft oil seal were replaced at 111,699 miles (in 2018). The coil packs were all replaced with uprated packs from Whifbitz in 2016 and the NGK Iridium spark plugs and coil pack clips were done at the same time. A new O2 sensor was also fitted and all of the VSV solenoids have been replaced periodically. The brake callipers have all been rebuilt and are in good condition and the brake master cylinder was rebuilt with genuine Toyota parts in 2020, giving a nice firm pedal. The battery was also replaced in 2020 (Yuasa 60Ah). A full rear end rebuild including new rear shocks and springs, all rubber bushings replaced with polyurethane ones, Cusco rear 22mm sway bar, new fuel tank straps, genuine brake hoses, new fuel tank shroud, all brake hard lines replaced with kunifer, all fuel pipes replaced with black aluminium hard lines, new rear wheel bearings, handbrake cables, new rear crash bar, new Walbro 255lph fuel pump, new genuine fuel filter and loads of genuine nuts and bolts was completed recently. The rear diff cooler radiator in the driver’s side rear wheel well was replaced with an identical copy made by Brownlow radiators (old one will come with car for comparison). This preserves the not very functional but original cooler (pump still works). Car’s Location: Ballymoney (N. Ireland) Modifications: BPU Fully De-catted with a downpipe and Blitz Nur-spec Exhaust Front mount intercooler Blitz Dual-SBC boost controller (boosted to 1.3bar) HKS intake (new HKS foam filter just fitted) Stock suspension all round except for the Cusco rear anti-roll bar and drop links Team Dynamics 18 inch multispoke wheels New front wiper arms with Lexus aero blades in 2014, also painted the plastic cowl at the same time. Interior – the interior has been converted from the original cream leather and carpet to red and black leather with a genuine UK-spec black carpet. The cream interior was in really bad shape and just wasn’t practical to keep. I bought the leather seat covers on here from a group buy and got hold of a spare set of seats to replace all the cream plastic parts with black ones. A new sound system including Alpine head unit, front and rear speakers and a pair of subs in the boot has been fitted. I do still have the original double-din head unit which can come with the car. The subs are easily removed if you are not into that sort of thing and the amp is screwed to the back of the rear seats behind it. The electric aerial is wired into the active spoiler switch on the dash so you can have the head unit on and the aerial down. Most of the rubber hoses in the engine bay have been replaced with silicone ones. The EGR valve has been deleted (I have the valve if you are mad enough to want to put it back on). Badges - (controversial) the badges have all been replaced with genuine gold Toyota badges except the Supra turbo badge on the back which is still black. The gold badges were supposed to look good against the black paint but aren’t to everyone’s taste. I have the original badges which will come with the car if the new owner wants to put them back on (wouldn’t blame them). HKS FCD fitted to stock ECU The car has never been dyno’d but it should be putting out around 400bhp which is plenty for me and the stock traction control system to deal with. The front indicators have been moved into the main headlight cluster in place of the front fog light, so the two orange blobs have been removed from the front bumper recesses (I have these and they will come with the car). The orange side indicators have been replaced with clear ones (have these too). Straightforward to reverse this if you don’t like it. There is a genuine TRD roof spoiler which isn’t fitted in the photos but will be for the sale. Other assorted parts (including new front brake disc back plates, Zunsport grilles and genuine TRD rear spats) are available to be sold with the car if the asking price is met. This includes the second catalytic converter should the car ever need to pass a catalytic emissions test. It goes through the standard MOT emissions test fine without it. The paintwork is in generally good condition as the roof, rear quarters and tailgate jamb were recently repainted by a very good local bodyshop due to lacquer peel. The front bumper has some scratches on it and could do with a repaint if you are fussy (see photos). The door mirrors are horrible for some reason and definitely need repainted. The engine undertray was missing so I installed a SRD set of aluminium undertrays in 2016. These are a blessing (look good and give great protection) and a curse (to remove). The car was transferred to a Northern Irish registration when I bought it in December 2013, some people like these as they have a different format to the English registrations (three letters and four numbers) but if not, the original V5 bearing the original English registration is included with the documentation supplied with the car so it can be reregistered if you want to. The Northern Irish plates are perfectly legal throughout the UK. Good bits: Cheap insurance being a UK-Spec and these are now rare cars. No need for any concerns about corrosion on the underside, just look at the photos. Engine and gearbox are strong, recent compression test results can be provided if needed. Lots of life left in the tyres – Toyo R888 on the front and Dunlop SVP Sport on the rear and the car has just had a full four wheel alignment done last month complete with computer print out. I reinforced the rear jacking points during the rear end rebuild which makes it a lot easier to put the car up on a lift. Comes with a Richbrook soft indoor cover Bad bits: Key – there is currently only one key for the car (no alarm or immobiliser is fitted) and it only fits in the driver’s side door and the ignition obviously. The central locking works but you have to put the key in the door lock to lock and unlock the car. I removed the stock alarm system, intending to fit an aftermarket one but never got round to it. The horrible UK-Spec front headlight washers (horns) were removed by the previous owner and I DON’T HAVE them. If you want to spend 400 quid replacing these to restore some originality then you can. The plastic cover over the top of the engine has been cut and the end part replaced with a clear section so you can see the cams and the belt. These are rare so I tidied it up as best I could and it looks ok but not original. Almost all of the modifications were done by the previous owner and so I don’t have the original parts that were removed such as the stock wheels, the active front spoiler and the headlight washer horns. The front bumper and door mirrors need to be repainted. The aircon was not regassed after the condenser was replaced (never needed in Northern Ireland). The dashboard is suffering from the common swelling problem which exposes the underside around the plastic vent (see photos). It is only visible from the outside looking in and is unfixable without removing the dash. There is very slight delamination at the edge of the headlights, not enough to prompt a refurb yet but it will be needed in the future. See photos. The front mount intercooler still has blue silicone pipes at the bottom, I have changed all the others over to black, this is hidden pretty well by the Zunsport grille if you choose to fit it (see photos). The installation of the HKS intake by the previous owner necessitated cutting a small section of the front inner wing as shown in the photo – this is good as it feeds cold air directly to the intake but it can also be bad from the originality perspective. The Cusco rear sway bar is blue and the suspension bushes are all red which doesn’t match brilliantly with the rest of the rear underside. The boot floor doesn’t have any of the original foam inserts or spare wheel cardboard cover, just the mat which is in good condition. My last UK spec didn’t have these either so I’m not sure if they even came with them from new. The rear crankshaft oil seal is also leaking very slightly (doesn’t drip) and there may be another small oil leak at the gearbox somewhere or it could all be coming from the one leak at the crank seal. The steering wheel is original and showing signs of wear and could really do with a recovering/renovation. The front suspension hasn’t been touched in my time owning the car and has normal surface corrosion as you would expect. It is functionally fine with no knocks or creaks or any other noises. PRICE £35,000 sold as seen. Please PM for contact details. Edited Wednesday at 09:44 PM by KKMMK2N (see edit history) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
