tbourner Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 Well I think I should start gauging interest in the wee beasty. At the moment I'm asking the heady price of £12k, which TBH is what it's worth, but that obviously means that's not what it'll go for!! As it stands it needs some work, is it general consensus that this stuff should be done before the sale? My sig pics show what it is. The spec shows BPU at 1.1bar. Currently on 88000km (55k miles).

Muffleman Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 Nice looking car mate, sorry you have to sell I suspect you could get the work done for less than the amount a potential buyer will try and knock you down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbourner Posted January 25, 2006 Author Share Posted January 25, 2006 Yeah I know, but unfortunately I don't have the money spare to do the repairs - hence the sale in the first place!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Peace Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 thats a lovely Supra..hey have i started a trend or something lol Thats v good price for a manual with 55k...tell ya what if any of us on here wins the £100k lotto this Friday can they buy them off us and store them at room temperture until we can afford to buy them back? I actually bought my last Supra back six months after selling it to a dealer the new owner contacted me...and he found it awkward to get in and out of and want a bigger lardy car...so I bought it back it does happen but then i part exed it eventually for me Green one... That is a beautiful example love the dials too...great photography also, looks sweet... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave100 Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 what work needs done to it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbourner Posted January 25, 2006 Author Share Posted January 25, 2006 The biggest thing is the flywheel needs replacing. That'll be about £500 or just under. The second biggest is the brakes, they pulse under braking as if warped discs, but I haven't done anything that I can think would have warped them!! Front offside wheel has VERY slight play in it - so maybe a bearing in the future; could also be the cause of the brake wobble?? I suppose a UK conversion and replace all bushes etc is in order for that - but not needed. All the rest is little bits: I had a problem with intermittent bad idle before Christmas (there's a thread or 2 somewhere), never got sorted but haven't seen it since so may be one of these 'once a year' faults people seem to get!! The blue LED behind no 1 fan speed control is intermittent - probably dry joint - haven't bothered to fix it. The LED in the driver door window control is too big, so auto down doesn't work. Emin said he would replace next time I see him (I don't want to ask him to come down here just for 1 LED!!). Some of the writing on the 'Supra' logo on the EL glow dial face has disappeared, not sure why, waiting for Paul E's reply, just me being picky though. Underside of nearside skirt is cracked, should really be replaced but it's not visible so I'm not bothered! Both rear spats are damaged. Nearside has spider cracks on it, offside has been (badly) resprayed - probably wouldn't notice unless it was pointed out but I've just pointed it out (D'OH!). I was planning on getting the Trial copy rear bumper but that won't be happening now!!! erm, can't think what else, probably nothing important at least. Should I be being this honest?

Supragal Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 Should I be being this honest? yes, full credit to you! i can't imagine many supes that are sold have no niggles at all. i would rather know about them then find out later and feel ripped off etc especialy from a club member Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbourner Posted January 25, 2006 Author Share Posted January 25, 2006 pre facelift? There are some 96 facelifts aren't there? With 97 being the year that the VVTi was introduced? Mine is pre facelift and pre vvti (obviously). Also, remembered more faults! All stereo related, the enclosure and setup is still uncomplete. The rear enclosure needs sealing some more, the sound is good but there's just 'something missing' from certain frequencies. Not sure if it's box design or simple amp setup. Wiring from amp for front speakers is in up to the footwells, I cut my hands up trying to get it through the door grommet so gave up!!! All it needs is pushing through then connecting to the speakers (currently still on HU output). Removable facia of stereo needs pins cleaning, as the display switches off sometimes and needs 'wiggling' to get it back alight! Other than that, VERY good stereo, WMA/MP3/etc playback, just needs a bit of time spending to finish the setup. The custom enclosure is not permanent either - I still have the rear seat in my shed and it's literally 3 bolts (and wiring unscrewed from amp) to replace the whole lot if needed.
