carl bibbys chargespeed supra

does anybody have the engine spec to carls old charge speed supra, would appreciate genuine facts if anyone knows,coz theres a lot of people who seem to have false info on it .thanks

Why?

It was running big twin turbos last time I saw it, but I think he changed for a single T88 after that.

Last time I saw it was in a scrap yard with the front end stoved in.

Double post.Ignore

I'm assuming that was the candy red one ?

Yep last time I saw it it was in a real state. The engine or at least gearbox was gone and the body was in a right old mess!! Matt at AFR would know the engine condition as he quoted the repair on it.

its got a big single just wondered if anyone knew if any internal mods had been done,i bought it from the salvage yard about 3-4 months ago an im gonna restore it to it former glory,ive pretty much changed the front quarter,matched the front wheel,had a new everything else,its in the bodyshop on 22nd of feb for approx 4-6 weeks,so although its running quite well an i can see the engine external mods id really like to know about internals if poss,ta

Did you buy it Paul ??

Would be interesting to see it back on the road, a monster repair bill though I would have thought

too late !!

Was a head turner for sure, never forget the rear wing !!

engine and gearbox are sweet as a nut and run perfect,it was the bumper,radiator,intercooler,slam panel,steering rack ,cross member and front wheel that was damadged,looked like car had run into something low and hard coz all damadge front drivers side

yeah did look nice. sell me the interior NOW lol ha ha. had a huge smack on the front end hopefully you can get it back on the road

Thought as much LOL, its a tough paint match and rare bodykit afterall !

ive got a lad called jay in wickford doing the body work he usually only does hotrods an his work is amazing ,he works with house of kolor paint all the time,not cheap but def best around here by a long way [in my opinion lol]

10k plus what you paid 10-12k? bloody hell, good luck i guess, with the missus not finding out that is lol

lol the damage was a bit more than i expected but the cars worth it it looks pretty awesome in its broken state so i cant wait for it to be finished,i appreciate the kits def marmite but hey i love it

have a word with GBH motor sports got a feeling the uprated engine was removed an swapped for a standard one by them. I see this car at the salvage yard too the damage to the front wernt that bad, good luck with the project mate

i love the kit too, you not thought about changing the colour mate as in away its always going to be carl bibbys supra, i got a mag somewhere with the spec ill try dig it out for you, you got any other plans for it or you just getting it up and running for the road. get some pics up buddy.

i know what you mean about the colour but interiors matching as is engine bay,i am having it a few shades darker but its still gonna be candy apple over silver...if i keep it a while il look to change colour and interior cos i love candy blue from house of kolor,,,,but again thats gonna cost about 6-7 k by the time you do body and interior and il def be shot by missus then lol.

I remember his original add when he tried to sell it saying something about putting a stock engine in. At the time the bonnet had come up and smashed the windscreen too I seem to remember.

Post up some pics then

It would certainly be worth talking to Matt at AFR about the car. If it's the same one it was in there for a long time for some work. Not sure what the delay was but recall it was something to do with funds at the time.

It wasn't in too good a state then, but obviously that didn't improve once the car was back!

il get some pics up but it really dont look stock an the clutch def not

Superb looking supra,be nice to see it back on the road,in all it's glory,good on you for bringing in back from the dead.

Def speak with GBH Motorsport mate. They know the car well and can tell you exactly what was done with it prior to it being shipped off to its new owner. I'm pretty sure John's right and they swapped the built engine for a stock one and just put the single turbo on that. I think the clutch was an OS giken triple plate but not sure for definite.
