Thought i would start a project thread more to document my progress than anything else, and if anyone else finds it interesting then thats a bonus.

 

long story short. Moved to devon from Hampshire. Found a new Local. Opposite local a black stock looking Jspec TT auto was parked up. After some ear wigging i found out who owned it, started up conversation and turned out he was selling it as he has had a spine op and cant get in it very well along with no money to sort out a very bloody loud metal on metal graunchy sound coming from the engine area. he suspects big end but im not 100% sure on that yet - Thread to the video / problem is here

i picked it up cheap, i wont say how much exactly but under a grand, knowing that it may need major money thrown at it.. but i wanted a project anyway!

 

Car came with "grenade" alloys which i will sell at some point, and also the stock jspec wheels, spare jspec turbos, a manual Diff and various other bits and pieces.

 

plans are to switch over all the good bits from my red NA and then break it. I was debating doing a w58 conversion as i have all the parts on my red sup, but i think im going to stick with the auto until i can source a r154 as its already BPU and i dont think its worth my time switching it all just to blow the box.

 

When she arrived.

Update on this:

 

Sent my car to the capable hands of Paul at whifbitz.

 

Turns out the reason my car was making such a horrible sound was due to the fact that the drive plate was being held on by only 1 Bolt! Bit of a mystery how it moved at all!

 

Basically we think (Paul thinks) the reason for the damage was due to a un dampened crank pulley being fitted, the previous owner "apparently" ran it for 6 years. However i think he may be telling porkies.

 

Either way whilst my car was at whifbitz i had the following done.

+ all the appropriate oils and fluids etc

 

Just a start, but with everything above i would like to think that i have safe guarded against future faults!

 

Next i have to get started on the paintwork, whilst it is in general good (for a 20 year old car) it definitely needs some TLC.

 

After that its upping the boost ;)

Now that's how you give a Supra a make-over! If only every person who had just bought a Supra had all the basic/essential equipment changed then we'd be seeing a lot more on the road today.

 

Can't wait to see what you're future plans are; I always love watching the progress of a Supra that was once practically a 'barn find'! :D

Very true, but also very costly haha, Alot of people want big bhp, whereas i am attempting to make a "If toyota made a GT3 RS" Version of the supra. Sensible and reliable power hopefully :)

 

Thanks for your kind words.
