CJ Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 I've had my supra for a couple of months now and want to try find out whats been modded on it, aparently it has stuff like a mines ecu and boostlogic auto box is there anyway to conferm what the gearbox is and what other mods have been done? The mines ECU will be found under the cover in the passenger footwell. As for the BL box, they will have used the old casing so you wont be able to tell the difference visually. However, the way it changes etc is very different so anyone who is close to you and has experience of a standard auto will be able to confirm. Can I ask what other mods were done? It is unusual to fit a BL box without considerably upping the power with things like a single turbo etc. Where did you buy the car from? Please dont say GT Cars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJ Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 That doesn't list a BL box. And, TBH, that list of mods certainly doesnt require a £2000 gearbox. Do you have any pics of the car? we may recognise it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJ Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 Car looks nice mate. Why do you think it has a BL box? That isnt listed in the ad. Where did you buy it from? What area? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmunky Posted May 26, 2007 Author Share Posted May 26, 2007 Cause the auto box only has Launch and Drive there is no second gear and i asked the guy why when i brought it and he said the gearbox had been upgraded to a boostlogic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BASHTHEBISHOP Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 Wether it has or hasnt got the BL box you got yourself a real good deal there by the looks of it. Quite a few members near you i think so i would just try and get to a local meet and ask them to have a look. ooo & Hi & welcome btw.

CJ Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 :blink: good god 3 grand. If you've got this mr munky, what a deal. Welcome btw. It seems incredible that someone would go to huge expense of putting a drag style gearbox onto a car that has not been modded extensively. It also seems very strange that they would not say that in the advert. If it was me, I would take the car along to a Supra specialist and get it looked at for them to confirm exactly what the gearbox is. Did you buy it from a trader or a private seller? Was it someone on the forum? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hogmaw Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 Bring it to a meet I am sure someone will go over it for you. Nice car, nice unique colour too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustGav Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 Looks like it has the standard shifter, and the TH400 would have a different shifter I would assume, as CJ said, before spending that much money on a drag style TH400, you would really do a lot more to the engine, unless it was the beginning of a project perhaps. Unless it has had the BL upgrade on a recon, which is possible if the autobox was going, I know I would get it rebuilt and strengthened if mine went pop.
