  1. So thought I’d see if anyone is interested in these. They are incredibly rare Enkei Nel Class 18” rims, I had them refurbed quite a few years ago and the spokes are still in perfect condition but the dish is looking a little tarnished and needs a good polish, zero curbing or damage to them. They don’t clear UK spec brakes, they would with spacers but with their low offset, would require a lip roll/flare if using spacers. Rears will also likely require an arch roll with current tyres. Im in no need to sell them as I’d like to use them if/when I get another Supra, but have been gathering dust for quite a while now, so thought I’d offer them out. Tyres are currently legal and hold air, but treat them as a bonus as the fronts have score marks and rears are getting low. £1000 plus shipping
  2. Definitely, I’ll likely have another one day, although I will probably not go for big power next time, think I found mine most enjoyable when it was around 450hp. Still got tons of parts, can’t bring myself to get rid of them though as they are my remaining link to Supra ownership
  3. Lovely Supe and a fantastic plate!!! They are very different cars that are suited for differing situations. The 355 is an incredible car that produces sounds I didn’t think possible, but you can’t push it like you can with the Supra. With the Supra I could happily kick the back end out and with it being such a controllable car, I felt like you could really work the car at it’s limit. When it comes to the 355, I would be fearful to get close or put it at its limit, as the car will likely chew you up and spit you out With the way Supra prices have been going I’ll hold you to that
  4. Manual GTS so it’s also a targa, just like the Supra……..and the Corvette……bit of a pattern appearing I’ve got a massive ‘want’ for an LC, tbh I was hoping they’d suffer the usual Lexus depreciation for a second hand bargain…….looking like it’ll be a long wait, so sticking with my old ‘02 530i as the daily beater for now Sold the Corvette last year, really miss that car, wasn’t even up for sale, just had someone offer me a great price for it(more than I paid for it 5 years ago). Really want to get on another Dragonball, I’d be half tempted to take the Caterham though, did a 2500 mile euro trip in one previously and was great fun.
  5. Strange to think I’m approaching my 15th anniversary of being a member on here after owning 4 Supra’s. As many on here, my love of Supra’s started with the infamous orange Supra from the original The Fast and The Furious. Which is why I now find it quite surreal to be driving the other car from ‘that’ race!!! So, anyone up north in a big single fancy destroying an F355 off the lights to replicate that scene?
  6. Although I miss this car like a hole in the head, I couldn’t be happier that Ozzy now has it, after a long and great chat tonight whilst everyone else was celebrating the new year, I know the car is in great hands that will actually finish the car with a nigh on identical vision to what I had. Having to sell my Supra after 10 years of ownership with a ridiculous amount of money, time, sweat and tears in it was very hard, but I needed to raise as much startup capital for my business as possible, that being said, after tonights conversation with Ozzy, I really know she’s in great hands with some great upgrades and works on the way!

    MOT Advisory

    Agree with Scooter, I always get a little suspicious when a car has an MOT history with zero advisories, fair enough on failures but advisories are just the norm on most cars.
  8. Looking good, loved my old MK1 MX-5, amazing cars and still one of the most fun cars I have ever owned! One thing (there’s always one d**k with a negative point haha) is that I wouldn’t recommend those seats, I had them once before, granted they are cheap but I found them bloody uncomfortable and didn’t hold me very well, personally I’d be looking at side mounted seats like the Cobra Imolas which aren’t too bad 2nd hand. Then again, it’s your car, do what you want
  9. Hey guys as I mentioned, although probably not too clearly, it's more a post to see what I would get for it as it stands, I've been out of the scene for a little while and not had chance to monitor what stuff has actually been sold for.
  10. Morning Guys, So with a heavy heart and after owning this one for 10 years, I am having to get rid of my Supra:(, I have driven maybe 1500 miles since picking it up from SRD 3 years ago and I am wanting to start my own business and need to raise the startup capital, so the Supra, 944 and possibly Corvette as well are being sold. I am wondering what someone would take it off my hands for as it stands. As you know, I have invested a lot of money into this car(I think it's around £50k but don't want to add it up!!). For those that don't know, I bought the car off another forum member 10 years ago as a standard facelift aerotop alongside buying a facelift TT6 hardtop to be used as a donor car for a shell swap and as far as I'm aware, it's still the only Facelift Aerotop in Europe to have both a 2JZ-GTE engine and V160/161 gearbox, that being said, facelift Aero's are pretty rare to start with as they were a JDM car only and made in very small numbers. As far as issues, the car has two, firstly, the paintwork is tired (although underneath it is immaculate!) It's an RSP car but prior to my ownership it had a blowover respray in a lighter colour and it really should be put back to RSP, second issue is that it never got round to having a cold start map done on it, so once left for over 24 hours, it needs a little persuasion to start, it always starts but can take a little turning over (on the plus side, it's always meant that the engine gets well oiled before firing up after sitting for a little while ).

Also note that this is a high power single, with adjoining mods, so with the RPS flywheel and clutch and a TRD mount, the gearbox is noisy, with the engine mods, the car is noisy, don't expect it to be quiet and refined Happy to answer any questions and thanks for reading.

  11. Thinking of coming back to Supra ownership Adam?
  12. I stopped using Facebook ages ago, probably been 2 years since I last posted on it, would much rather have the forum.
  13. Ahh, I remember doing exactly the same I can't believe I'm now at that age where I can say 'I remember the good old days'! It's weird how when I first signed up with my first Supra it was my daily, yet now, I have driven it maybe 3 times over the past two years, it's just sat under a cover in the garage:(
  14. Before this season aired I was saying that it would be a complete disaster, however, I shall hold my hands up and say that it is far better than I thought it would be. That being said, I did really like Matt LeBlanc and think that if they had Chris Harris for the geeky car stuff, Paddy McGuinness(sp?) for the childish humour and Matt LeBlanc for the charisma it may well be the perfect line up for Top Gear and eclipse the Clarkson days, Freddie Flintoff comes across as trying to be a bit too boisterous for my liking.
