chris2o2 Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 A single on 20's.....bet thats a handfull ! Can he prove the power ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurch Posted February 19, 2009 Author Share Posted February 19, 2009 No, he said he can get proof?? He said he hasn't had it long, bought it like it. And doesn't know much about them. Yea thats the one. Needs a subtle front bumper and a standard spoiler. maybe smoother skirts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurch Posted February 19, 2009 Author Share Posted February 19, 2009 I asked him if he's got any proof of the engine rebuild and if he can prove the bhp. This is the reply I got... "hi there i have loads of receipts for the car a folder about 3inches thick i bought the car as it is i dnt realy know to much about them i just wanted a car that could do 200 mph and it is a flying machine i have only done about 4000 miles in the car and the only problem i have had is the battery going flat there is know dyno print out i could get one done all i know is that i raced a ferri 360 and caned it thanks" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopite Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 I'd stay away. New seller so could be a scam, plus for that spec i'd wanna know who did the work etc. What's your budget? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurch Posted February 19, 2009 Author Share Posted February 19, 2009 8 - 9k really, Dont really wanna go over that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 You do know what this car will be like in 12 months time, don't you? Are you good with filler and a spray gun? These "blended" arches will try and detach themselves. Last time I looked on Ebay it was up at about 8k, which I think is already far more than enough assuming you actually like the look of the thing. If it was here the wife would give me the RTB routine To me it currently looks like a high mileage over priced money pit, and at 13K (which it won't make), it looks like someone should be certified Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr lover Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 stock auto box ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDModified Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 If I was buying any car with a claimed 650hp, I would want proof, I would also get the car checked over buy someone in the know. A claimed 650bhp supra can have alot of hidden issues that may in the very near future cost you a small fortune. James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurch Posted February 19, 2009 Author Share Posted February 19, 2009 11 - 12k for a manual Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurch Posted February 19, 2009 Author Share Posted February 19, 2009 (edited) I think your right. I will stay away. Just the price and spec sounded good. I saw potential in it. I DID really want a more subtle lookings supra... lol. Cheers Edited February 19, 2009 by Lurch (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guigsy Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 (edited) ive seen that car before... Forgive me if im being a MASSIVE asshole here... But you come across as someone who doesn't know a great deal about cars (or supras) in general. Just by some of the things you have said, which makes me think you should think again about buying a big single conversion. Especially one with 600bhp on a stock autobox with 20" wheels. The car is very cheep for all its listed mods, its expensive paintwork etc. And i don't believe he its worth what he says it is. I would steer clear. Id also put my money on it being an XS power turbo/kit aswell But thats just me. And appologies if i have offended you. It wasnt intended that way. Just trying to help out. Added to that who buys/builds a 600bhp car and then DOESNT dyno it? Edited February 19, 2009 by Guigsy (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lurch Posted February 19, 2009 Author Share Posted February 19, 2009 Well I do know a bit about cars. Thats why I wanted to ask on here about it because it seemed too good to be true sort of thing. I dont know too much about single turbo supras. Only what I've researched on here. the auto box was going to be converted to manual thats why I wasn't bothered about it not having an autobox oil cooler. I didnt know that 20's would be a problem with handling though. And if it went any further from here I would of taken someone that knows alot more about them than me and also wanted to look a bit more into the proof of mods and rebuild ect. But as I've asked on here and got decent advise I don't need too take it and further. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 (edited) FWIW my take on getting a single turbo MKIV that works properly: A: Buy a stock car, spend 20k plus on it, build a reliable, properly specced, properly mapped thing with associated upgrades to match the power. B: Buy one that's already been done, that has been around and known to have run reliably for at least a year and maybe 10k miles. If you can see one driven hard all day on a track day, and it doesn't come home on a rope, or on a trailer, the manifold's not blowing or fallen off, and it's not smoking like a sailor in the Woodbine factory, then that's even better a test. These have had the owner go through "A", so rarely come up for sale, and when they do they get snapped up. C: Buy a cheap one, half done in a half baked way, or one with unknown reliability history. Regret it within a month, price up fixing it up and go back to A or B. D: Wishful thinking, don't go there, whatever the idea is....

Scooter Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 I'm with Chris's D) but there is a decent 'looking' facelift auto single on autotrader (dash/steering wheel main pic) at a reasonable(?) price £8995 It doesn't fit into Chris's B) category, more into its own category of fresh import/unknown quantity but the parts (at least its advertised as having) look high quality.......

Homer Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 I can't say too much on this yet, but if thats the candy red UK car the club admin has received two seperate mails from members of the public warning thats it's a wreck & bascially knackered. more details will be posted *if* we can verify anything Edit -just checked the reg number supplied and it matches the reports we had.

Guigsy Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 i love the nice warm feeling you get inside when your right Ive baught 2 supras. The first one was off autotrader. I had no idea why it hadn't sold it was a bloody minter owned by a retired bloke. Baught it when i knew nothing but the guide on here (which i didnt follow most of to be honest!). I guess i got lucky with it but then more often than not a dog is blatantly obvious! Second car was from a member on here. i turned up and it was obvious just looking at it without speaking to the owner it had been well looked after. Gleaming and shiny with perfect paint and for a car with decent miles it went perfectly. I just home my next buy is as lucky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
