Kilps Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 It is with great sadness I must advertise my Supra for sale. I have owned this car for nearly seven years and it has been a lot of fun! I’ve made friends, seen parts of the world and learnt many things that I wouldn’t have without the car. It will be a great shame to see it go. This has been a much loved car but now it must move on to fund bigger and better things! Spec as follows... Basics Toyota Supra RZ Twin Turbo, 6 speed, with BPU modifications First Registered October 1996 Mileage approximately 54,000 Odometer reads 65,726 (may increase slightly before sale) However this was converted from km/h to mph upon import at 30,045km (as close as I can establish) 30,045 km = 18,669 miles (at point of import) 65,726 – 30,045 = 35,681 miles (since import) 18,669 + 35,681 = 54,350 (true total mileage) MOT until 10th January 2018 Service History I have the full service history of the car back to the point of import. I also have some Japanese documents I cannot understand, although I believe these are manuals and brochures rather than history. During my ownership, the car has always been serviced by SRD who, as we all know, are well versed in the art of looking after Supras! It was last serviced in February 2017. Engine / Drivetrain 2JZ-GTE Engine V160 Gearbox NGK Iridium Spark Plugs GReddy Trust FMIC TRD Radiator Cap TRD Oil Cap Fuel and ECU Walbro 255 Fuel Pump MINES ECU Exhaust Aftermarket exhaust bought used but good condition from SRD Whifbitz 1st Decat Whifbitz 2nd Decat 1 Bar Restrictor Ring Suspension, Wheels and Tyres Tein Type Flex Coilovers (I think) with EDFC (bought from Lee at SRD and fitted by SRD) 18” Volks Rays GTU Wheels – black with chromed lip Michelin ‘Pilot Sport 2’ Tyres Brakes OEM UK Brakes Painted to match car and new decals applied Front discs and pads replaced and calipers fully refurbished, summer 2016 HEL Braided hoses front and rear Interior and ICE OEM Recaro Seats OEM Carbon Fibre Steering Wheel OEM Conlight (automatic headlights) OEM Driver Door Knee Rest OEM Floor Mats TRD Speedometer and Rev Counter Blitz Boost Gauge Alpine CDE-9880R Head Unit (CD, Radio, Aux, iPod) (radio does not work as no aerial fitted to car) Aftermarket Front and Rear Speakers SRD Speaker Brackets in front doors Exterior The car had a full re-spray and extensive exterior work carried out to a very high standard by Xquisite Automotive in early 2014. Xquisite have also worked on mplavery’s yellow Supra and Jamesy’s Do-Luck Supra to name a couple of well known cars. You can find the build thread here! Full re-spray in Chevrolet Daytona Sunset Orange Genuine Do-Luck Front Bumper Genuine Trial Rear Bumper (blended and smoothed) Blitz Sides (blended and smoothed) TRD Half-Carbon Rear Wing M77SUP Personal Registration Plate (included in sale) Standard Facelift Headlights (bought in new condition early 2015 from memory) HID Headlights and Foglights Heckler’s LED Rear Lights Heckler’s LED Sidelight/Indicator Units Custom side-repeaters in wing-mirrors Wing-mirror moulding line smoothed De-badged all round Aerial removed and smoothed Rear wiper removed and smoothed Rear marker lights removed and smoothed Fuel filler cap relocated to boot and flap smoothed I am extremely proud of the way the car looks. It turns heads everywhere I drive it and it puts a smile on my face when I drive past shiny shop windows! Bad Bits There are a few bits I’m less happy with, which I should mention now... Suspension knocks from rear. It has done this since I bought the car and continues despite having replaced the coilovers. It has not deteriorated. Air conditioning leaks from somewhere. It’s external so it doesn’t leak into the car, but it doesn’t stay cold very long. I started to investigate this but haven’t got very far with it. I will include a spare air conditioning radiator (see ‘Extras’, below). Engine bay could do with a tidy up. I started this, but it needs finishing. My eventual plan was a single turbo build. Dashboard has a couple of holes in it where something clearly used to be attached. You can’t see them when you’re sat in the driver’s seat. I will include a spare dashboard (see ‘Extras’, below). All of these things I intended to sort at some point, as well as continued general improvements to the car. Unfortunately I no longer have the time or the funds to do this so it’s time for someone else to have a go! Extras I’ve collected some extra bits over the years so I’ll throw them in with the sale... Air conditioning radiator – I got from SRD. Cannot guarantee its condition but appears pretty good. Dashboard – I bought from Keron years ago to replace my holey one. Catalytic converters – Both front and rear included in sale. Car has always passed MOTs with rear (easiest to fit) fitted. HKS SSQV BOV – Sold to me with the car. It’s still in the box it was given to me in and I’ve never used it. Location and Price Car is located in Crawley, near Gatwick. You are of course welcome to view the car and I will gladly take you for a drive in it. Price: SOLD Pictures These pictures were taken some time ago, although the appearance of the car has not really changed. I will get some up to date and more comprehensive pictures soon. Interior and engine bay pictures can be seen in post below (here). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KamaSupra Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Good to see a properly written out advert... But a real shame to see you're selling up. I'm sure you have your reasons and the decision didn't come easy. Anyone who's interested in this car, I have seen it a few times over the years and it's condition is outstanding. It looks even better in the flesh GLWTS Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rider Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 I'd suspect your suspension knock could well be a transmission jump due to tired diff bushes seeing you have replaced the struts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
