Andy Supra Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 Well I joined the site over a month back as 'Andy Ibiza' i've now made that transformation to 'Andy Supra' (I know... great name! put lots of effort in!) Anyway last Sunday I put my deposit down and this Sunday I collect so I will probably see quite a few of you at Jap Show the following Sunday. (The car has MKIV Supra sticker on the rear and the guy is a member on here but apparently hasn't been on since April so not sure who his is?) Now for few pics and bit of info... Imported in 1999 by JPS in Milton Keynes MOT till Feb 07 6 Months tax 70000 miles Body work is in immaculate condition. Interior trim is in excellent condition Cruise Control CAT 1 alarm and immobiliser fitted 18" Light weight Antera alloy wheels with new tyres all round HKS air filter HKS full exhaust system with decat pipe HKS blow off valve Recently had all new HKS adjustable suspension and 330mm drill, grooved big disks and race pads. It's costing £6200, is that good/bad/market price for this mileage/spec. Either way it's achieved what I've wanted and I can't wait till Sunday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisR Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 Hello Andy, £6200 sounds like a bargain price to me and the car looks great. A nice range of mods too. Im sure your grinning allot already, but prepare to grin for a long time to come. Regards Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 Looks nice. I presume it's an auto for that price, right? The wheels are unusual but I quite like them. The Toyota option extra skirts and spats are a 'nice to have' The brakes are the UK spec Supra ones are they? Front and rear or just front? (I don't think UKs are quite 330mm, something like 326mm IIRC) Enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 Welcome Andy, nice tidy looking car you have got your self there, congratulations Any plans for her? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Supra Posted June 14, 2006 Author Share Posted June 14, 2006 Yes thats correct it's an Auto As for wheels they need a refurb and if I was getting a set probably not what i'd go for but there better than the standard 16's so they will do nicely for now unless a decent set of 18's appear then i'll buy and switch the tyres over. Brakes have been changed front and rear and yes it's UK Spec ones, no idea on size I just pasted what was put in the advert for the sale. Nothing major planned yet, it's booked in next Tuesday to have my Pioneer DVD/Sat Nav headunit fitted and wired in and some speaker upgrades and a little 10" sub tucked away. Toying whether to get the Veilside front and probably will get a retrim. Other than that nothing else planned yet under the bonnet or anything, just want to get the car Sunday and enjoy it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 Seems like a good spec for the price, considering the body kit and the UK brakes all round. Looks like my 93 RZ Auto isn't going to be worth what I was hoping for I would fit clear side repeaters and facelift front indicators/sidelights if it was mine. That would modernise the look a bit for not too much money. Don't rush into a Veilside bumper though mate, they're considered 'old hat' and very much out of fashion nowadays, since all those Saxos and Fiestas started getting Veilside lookalike kits. (Although I have Veilside stuff on my 93 Auto - see my Sig for pics). Bomex is also a very common choice on Supras. See Stillen or Ridox for alternatives. Check out 'Gibson and Boyne' for retrims, thats where I'm going when funds allow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 Very clean Supra you've got there, very nice. I've had a Veilside kit for a few years now and my advice is keep the stock bumper mate. The OEM sideskirts and rear spats also fit properly too. Haven't seen a Gibson and Boyne retirm I like so far. A mate of mine on the GTR board went in with a group buy with a Robson retrim, they came over from Japan. A couple of the GTR lads here have them too, TOP quality.

Ben-san Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 Superb. A great example of a Supra right there. This weekend is going to be non-stop sunshine as far as I know, so put £100 aside for your honeymoon fuel! See you at JapShow Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elliot Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 Looks in excellent condition Andy, has it had a respray? What year is it? Bargain price by the looks of it - nice one Don't rush into a Veilside bumper though mate, they're considered 'old hat' and very much out of fashion nowadays, since all those Saxos and Fiestas started getting Veilside lookalike kits. Hmmm, (check my sig) what do I do now!? Haven't seen a Gibson and Boyne retirm I like so far. That you don't like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Supra Posted June 14, 2006 Author Share Posted June 14, 2006 It's L Reg 1993, up close it needs a little touch up work but nothing major Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daston Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 If you want to change the front just get a bottom lip that fits over the stock bumper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeT Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 Veilside is old hat but some people still love them including me although ive opted for a different one this time around. If you like it then buy it. very clean looking supe you've bought yourself there at a great price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stupra Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 Nice clean soop Andy, any body mod is down to personal taste, i still like the Veilside kit, seem more rare than the Bomex stuff at the meets i've been to recently. Think one of my faves now is the Do-luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Supra Posted June 14, 2006 Author Share Posted June 14, 2006 Well i'm not rushing into anything, i'll look at everyones cars at the Jap show then have a better idea on how things look in the flesh etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
