Chiefgroover Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 TT,Auto/tip. Has leather, UK brakes, and active spoiler. Car has never been crashed, has had one sill repainted by the previous owner due to car park scrape. 86,000 miles. Recent F1's. Totally stock, and always has been. First registered in the UK, last owner got it from Park Lane with 1 mile on the clock. In excellent condition. Only wear on interior is a slight bit on the driver seat as you get it, otherwise superb!. Looks Superb, and drives the usual vvt-i superb. NO service history, that got lost with the previous garage's closure. Pity. It has an Alpine cd player, and is delimited. The finish of the cd player is the same as the dash panels so cosmetic intregation is very good. This car is located in N.I. so if you want it, budget for a one way flight and boat trip. £10,500. p.s. it now has a load less tyre noise, which is very becoming of the car. (F1's are a bit noisey but not the worst BTW) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chiefgroover Posted November 19, 2006 Author Share Posted November 19, 2006 Hmmmmm, poss. p/x on my silver one? Why aren`t you keeping it ernie? I have discovered that i shall never be able to do track work with the auto/tip box. Some people can, just not me, Roy. Too long in the manual camp and too old to adapt. I know a buyer for your motor, so give me a buzz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveK Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 bargain I'm not trying to start an argument - this is a genuine question - but does VVTi really make so much difference to the price? This car is only 1 year newer than my (non-VVTi one) - but it's significantly more expensive. Is this always the case - and are they really so much better?

This car is only 1 year newer than my (non-VVTi one) - but it's significantly more expensive. Is this always the case - and are they really so much better? Very good question, one I asked for years myself, and only got an answer to recently. My findings are (I haven't that much expereince with vvti though) the low down and midrange torque is much better. The car has the newer ECU, dual 16 bit i think, runs super smooth al all revs. I did a back to back test with a 94 jap auto tt last Sat, and the vvti drove so much nicer. Cant see me owning a non vvti again. (actually have a car lined up, but that top secret until it appears). Toyota made a load of small but good changes to the later models, a list of which is on supraforums, and some info on a sticky here also. The vvt-i 2jz is a great engine IMO. Cant wait to get a manual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveK Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 Dave I see yours is a NA, TT's are worth a load more. It's TT? I didn't realise that - apologies for my ignorance. I've only seen VVTi mentioned for NAs before. In that case - a '98 VVTi TT is a bloody bargain at that price! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 It's TT? I didn't realise that - apologies for my ignorance. I've only seen VVTi mentioned for NAs before. The picture kinda gives it away. I'm liking all this "It's a bargain" talk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chiefgroover Posted November 19, 2006 Author Share Posted November 19, 2006 Yeah, just imagine this baby with Blitz 03 and a Supra dragger with the lower front lip and active colour coded, and Uk spec headlights. Well thats what I would do anyway if I was keeping it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 Chiefgroover..........did you ever adjust the REAS suspension? (assuming its still on the car) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiefgroover Posted November 19, 2006 Author Share Posted November 19, 2006 This one doesnt have REAS, but JOT_ie adjusted his and got great results. Also search supraforums Australia for REAS there is a very good section on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staring at it lovingly, yes. The ridiculous amount of money it's eaten, no - I reckon it's gone through more than £4K since I got it, not including basic running costs.
