imi Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 (edited) THIS CAR IS NO LONGER FOR SALE This has been my Pride & Joy for the past 7 years. The time has come to move onto something different & practical. No urgency to get rid of it, however would prefer if it went to a fellow car enthusiast who can continue to cherish it like I have. About the Car It is a 1996 Registered pre-facelift RZ incarnation with a personalised numberplate (N8 SUP - neat supra), I have designed it to be a daily driver, very quick spool, instant response and extremely quick yet controllable; you get Racelogic Traction Control to keep things in check if need be. Its Heart It is the last car that Mark from Phoenix converted before emigrating to OZ (2yrs back), anyone who is familiar with Mark will agree that he was the best and genuine car specialist in the south east and in the UK. Ryan G who as you all know is a legend in his own right and a gentleman to deal with has tuned it. Its life I bought the car when it had 45Kmiles on the clock and have personally put on all the mileage to its current reading of 109K miles. Maintenance It religiously gets serviced every 6 months or 4.5K miles (whichever comes first) and I tend to get it 4 wheel aligned twice a year at a minimum. It has never missed a beat and been as a Toyota is expected to be – flawless. Fuel Economy In the City of London I easily get 19mpg and on the motorway you can hit high twenties to low thirties. Fuel economy is not high on the agenda when driving a high powered car like this, however the car is a consistent performer and quite efficient for what it is. Look on the bright side - car tax for this beast is 180 per year Additional Info Picture Slideshow The Garage The Single Build - 385bhp > 565bhp Pub Talk - Bragging The latest dyno plot of this car shows 564bhp at SRR. Now with the new mods it should release a few more horsies.

Attero Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 Low thirties (mpg) in a Supra? How does this work out? Looking gorgeous! £18k is... alot to the say the least, but I'm sure it works out about right to be honest. Worth it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking gorgeous! £18k is... alot to the say the least, but I'm sure it works out about right to be honest. Worth it! low 30's is possible, I can get it, it's all down to your setup and keeping the revs under 3.5k with a light foot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BK1 Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 Amazing car, a real credit to someone who is obviously fanatical about quality design and engineering, it must be killing you to let it go. Hope you find something good to replace it. Can somebody explain to me why the road tax is only £180 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leelbuk Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 (edited) Amazing car, a real credit to someone who is obviously fanatical about quality design and engineering, it must be killing you to let it go. Hope you find something good to replace it. Can somebody explain to me why the road tax is only £180 All cars registered before 2001 are £180 to tax if the engine capacity exceeds 1600 AFAIK so I think that includes all Supras. @ IMI - Sorry to see you're selling this.
