So I remeber the first time I saw one and now I'm getting one :)

1996 SZ-R, Six speed, LSD, Big brake kit

As you can see it's all orignal bar the exhaust which sounds great.

Was not planning on buying one just yet but I also wasn't planning on seeing exactly what I was after just yet either.

Being 23 I could not afford a TT of this quality nor insure one right now, but seeing as its got the running gear to handle it a TT swap may be on the cards later on :confused:

So what do you guys think?

*edit* forgot to mention my name is Luke :) Hello all :)

The previous owner was a girl who didn't like the wing so had it removed, but they put it back on for selling :)

Just thought I'd add a few pics of my other car.. not sure if these made it to the UK.

1995 Toyota Levin - AE111
20 Valve 4AGE black top, 5 speed manual

It's a really nice car, alot of fun to drive and has never given me any grief. I'm still deciding if I should sell it as I have full use of a company car also.

Welcome. Both your cars look great :)
We do get levins over here. However they are rare. Ive only ever seen one though!

Ive seen pictures of one with an R33 front end conversion. looks like a miniature skyline.

:wtf: I can't see why someone would buy a Levin and do that.. but.. whatever blows their hair back I suppose. :taped:



Thanks for the positive comments everyone :)

I'll be arranging payment and insurance tomorrow, And the car will be delivered Tuesday. Those hill roads I uploaded are between my city and the town where the Supra is. The owners mum asked if she could drive it one last time over them.:OK:

I'll post a couple photos once I've got it and its all cleaned up :)
