Guest smash Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?251656-celica-supra-widebody&highlight=wide+celica I know it had a a front end with a "hare" which has been repaired although some cracks are being declared in the current ad on the nose/spoiler as a result of speed bumps etc. Weird that it's still restricted @ 122 despite BPU. Just noticed seller is banned which don't look good - don't want to open a can of worms here! Not what I wanted to spend though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Do a search for his name as there are a few things on here. I bought an exhaust off him and he seemed like a decent chap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest smash Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Just read the build thread - little bit of a marmite car, certainly transatlantic! What's needed to remove the 112 restriction? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SupraDan24 Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Modified cars like this one always struggle to sell for big money, despite their costs to build. I've always liked this car, and quite frankly it's alot of car for 7.5k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supra Gaz Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Rics car is outstanding, it looks much nice than the ones in those links, the front still retains a Supra quality rather than just sticking the Celica front on. If you want a Celica, buy a Celica, Rics makes it work. Go buy it now......... Now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest smash Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 (edited) Has anyone seen it post front end rebuild? - the nose was cracked right through http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?250769-my-bad-luck-continues Edited March 9, 2012 by smash (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamuraiFlash Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Ric is a top guy and he spent a whole load of money on this car I have seen it in the metal when I went to Jap fest 2 last year, it is stunning, and the interior is good enough to live in lol.

Guest smash Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 What worries me though is after he hit the hare and split the bumper in half and bent the intercooler is that he's lost heart a bit, fudged it back together (hence the declared cracks in the nose in the advert) and is outing it. I know he's done his brains money wise but we all do that on our toys. He's a little bit of a slap from me - not too far - but I went to Sunderland last week (for the grand total of 3/4 hour!) to see a car and it was a massive let down not to mention waste of time and money so I'm a bit wary before merrily treking off round the country. Appreciate all comments and thoughts so far - keep them coming - especially any pitfalls, one of which I guess is moving it on again further down the line. BTW is CCI a favoured insurer for Supras?

ashbuster Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 ive read a few posts that they were given a nice price form cci ill be trying them myself when mine is due ive been told to go direct to company's for a better quote because some companies are not on the comparison sites and they give better prices Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastcar Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 I agree. It looks like a car to me too I really should read though what I wrote before I hit the submit button Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest smash Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 (edited) Well first insurance quote was a bit of a shocker bearing in mind I'm now ripening nicely at the age of 46 - all my toys before have been on classic policies cos they've been kits etc. and been pretty cheap but as they're classic policies they've not built any ncd. The quote for this bad boy from CCI came in at £580 comp 3K miles and 250XS and that was supposedly mirroring my full NCD from the daily hack! Considering I had a quote from Footman James last week on a kitted MR2 Turbo @360bhp for £375 with 150xs and full breakdown recovery I'm a bit surprised. Still, plenty more insurers in the sea - waiting for Lynbrook to come back... Edited March 9, 2012 by smash (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guigsy Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 id give my right arm for a quote that low. thats 1/3rd of what i pay and to add ric is a top chap. i met him all the time and always had a chat at japmids meets in his old car and he would come occasionaly on his bike while he was building this. if its just a small bit of damage on the front end it wouldnt bother me. easily repaired by any bodyshow who know what they are doing.

Guest smash Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Yeah but I'm half your age again - a proper old crock!! (you should be worried about the potential damage to Supra ownership credibility I could do ) - there's got to be some perk to being old enough to remember Mud/Pilot/Alvin Stardust/Bay City Rollers!!!* *delete as applicable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guigsy Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Sounds like you need to speek to dnk about where he gets his quotes from . Though I hear he was present at the invention of the car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
