Rob_Mitchell Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 A few pics of the addition to the family, we are going to fully repaint it and refurb the alloys. The look will be mint stock looking. It has full HKS suspension fitted which is a nice touch and not done many miles. Should look great once we have finished.

Dnk Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 I think i'd put a set of refurbed o/e uk 17's on it and sell the AZEV things that are on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraDan24 Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 we have worked out why it dont start/run too and its nothing to do with a cooked engine happy days, very very cheap na Lost count of how many adds i've seen over the years where a Supe is selling very cheap due to engine problems which turns out to be something really minor and easily fixable. I put it down to people not wanting to spend money having problems diagnosed. Good buy mate, what colour are you going to paint it? hopefully back to stock black as its the best colour IMO.

Well we are hoping we have found the fault but its pretty blatant whats happened, when we get 5 mins spare were crack on. yeah stock black, not bodykit or nothing... just a mint looking stock car.

TheTurtleshead Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Go on, what was it? I was looking at this months ago, the guy didnt sound like he knew anything about supra's tbh! What did you pick it up for in the end if you dont mind me asking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Raven Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 (edited) I looked at it as it was 3 miles from my house. I also was about to take my N/A engine out. However i really dont have the time to do all work. The guy does know his supras he has or had a tuning shop down the road and raced his other supra. So when i saw Mr chrome selling his engine i pointed it his way. Starting to think i made a bit of a cock up. So come on what was wrong with it.
