juanchan Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 Noooooo! I may be on the worse side of an alcohol fuelled drink(ing binge), but your car stands out so much! As others have said, transplant the engine and goodies to your car and keep going Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 I might be going against the grain here, but my thoughts are... 1. You've spent an enormous amount with this car but had some seriously dodgy traders work on it resulting in a bad feeling towards the car in general. 2. There are (from the purest point of view) several 'less than perfect' parts fitted now. That’s not to say they're not adequate for the job, but they might not be the best available. 3. To this day (though I hate to say it) there signs of the previous bad work by those certain traders that are bugging you every time you see them 4. A new start with far, far more knowledge and a fresh car will help you build your ultimate Supra 5. You will achieve that goal and quickly get bored without having a 'project' to work on 6. You'll sell it on and buy something sensible (or more silly ) I can fully understand the 'fresh start' point of view, but with the amount you've invested I think you'd be best off returning your current chassis to stock(ish) and getting a low mileage NA to fit the drivetrain to, then install the T67dbb kit.

TrickTT Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 yeah but will it win next year:d :eyebrows:...NO...:eyebrows: Keep it, transplant all your new bits and sell the old stuff in the parts section. Probably worth more that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest CoolsBlue Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 dont have to stick to one car, do one project, keep it until you get bored and sell it, then do a better one, imagine what you could end up with next! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra matt Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 Yep i say start again Gaz new car new kit may be do an areo top with single 6 speed just to piss wayne off lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colsoop Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 I agree with homer. sell up start again, with the new found knowledge you can make the new one even better than before without spending so much. I just hope you can get a good price for yours, perhaps get someone like jurgen to market it to the scandanavian market those guys seem to pay a premium for a well sorted car.

Sean1933 Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 I know i am one of those people waiting to buy parts off you, BUT, my personal opionion is that in hindsight its better to start with a blank canvas. Thats what i did as i then know everything is done how i want it. However in your case you have a very nice car that you stand to loose a lot of money on, especially given the time of year. You need to decide if you can afford/want to take that hit or not. Just let me know asap so i can source other parts if you decide to sell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 Advertise it, see if someone from Europe fancies. If no sensible interest after a month then transplant it. Then build a stripped out racer with no bling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 I agree with Homer, you've obviously had a few problems on the way and have lot from these. It seems you get the biggest buzz out of the actual process of modding your car and I get the sense from your posts that you are wanting a completely new project car. If you can afford it, I'd say sell your current car and start a build up a new car that'll be ready for next years meets and shows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magictorch Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 Sell it in Europe if you can and start afresh with more knowledge Gaz;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbonut Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 move on and start from fresh hun no gremlins to reappear then, just a clean fresh canvas PS I'll give you 50p for your old one!!! :run: Lxxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colsoop Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 if i did decide to sell what should i put it up for as it is:search: How quickly do you want to sell it gaz ? looking at the for sale section kopite's is a similar spec to yours and his hasn't sold @ £18K so i would put yours on at £16.5K and see what response you get from that. However if you aren't in a hurry then pop it on an £18k and see how it goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
