Bull3t Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 Hi all, I might be buying a Supra next week. It's an N/A 5 speed Manual Veilside Skirts and Front Lip Haven't got a clue about the Rear Bumper, and to be honest with you...I'm not a big fan. What do you think? I'm looking to start a new project on it, as it's not my style in many ways. Potential Changes listed below. 1) Alloy wheels need to go, do you have any solution? was thinking of the ROTA Neo Chrome 18's? 2) Cream Leather seats I'm unsure with - Possible change them to Black 3) Front Lip I like, but would exchange for Carbon. 4) Rear Spoiler will be TRD Spoiler with Carbon middle. 5) Rear Bumper....I have no idea yet 6) HKS Silent Exhaust. 7) Possible Carbon bonnet, no clue which one yet, all in good time. These are just the few things I have in mind, and would like to get your ideas on board too. Looking forward to hearing your ideas! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evinX Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 If I remember correctly this supra came over from spain? a member on here owned it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripped_fear Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 I remember this car it had and RX8 custom aftermarket front and rear end, looks like the front has been removed. Change the rear and the side skirts to OEM and i think it would look great. Nice set of wheels would set it off nicely too. Looks a nice base car.

scorling Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 So that is a car from the Club's favourite High Wycombe car dealers. I expect someone will be along in a while to give an insight to overpriced cars and poor service! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bull3t Posted December 13, 2014 Author Share Posted December 13, 2014 Price hasn't been settled yet, how much do you think it's worth? it has done 70k miles on the clock which isn't bad for its age. OEM Sides and back looks lovely. Definitely worth a think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 £2500 max. Dated wheels and bodykit, non stock colour, cloudy lights etc. I would personally look elsewhere. And that's before I get started on that Trader Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bull3t Posted December 13, 2014 Author Share Posted December 13, 2014 I take it he hasn't got a good reputation? before I make a move, would be good to know a few things about them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 I would be very doubtful about that mileage, I'd want to see paperwork and past MOT's to prove it's genuine. The colour is not standard. The wheels are Advan AVS VS5, decent quality but quite heavy, are they 17"? If they are and are a staggered fit you may find a buyer on the MR2 forums. Cream leather seats are UK spec and quite rare, you may find someone who wants to swap for black leather or stock fabric.

Nic Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 You may also want to read this thread if the trader is based in High Wycombe. http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?208654-Posts-Regarding-Trade-Cars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bull3t Posted December 13, 2014 Author Share Posted December 13, 2014 Thanks for that info, I'm going to take a look, next week and see if it's up to standard. Yes I've read the thread yesterday, very useful and even printed it off for next week!, seriously worried....but excited at the same time. I'm sure to get rid of the Creams if I do purchase, So if anyone's interested, let me know. Definitely getting rid of the alloys, yes they're 17". Thanks for the advice on them.

Bull3t Posted December 13, 2014 Author Share Posted December 13, 2014 Interesting Thread Nic. I'll take it on board and see what I'll do. It's hard to build on a bad reputation, but this could genuinely be a sound Supra. I've got the "What to look out for list" that I've printed off, and will see how it goes!

Havard Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 I would walk away personally. There aren't many 93 cars with 70k on the clock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Raven Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 Just so you know, If you do get it and want to swap the seats to black leather i would do a swap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bull3t Posted December 13, 2014 Author Share Posted December 13, 2014 I know this sounds silly to some people, but that's one reason why I can't walk away. If everything ads up and paperwork shows it's genuine, then it could be a good thing. Will see how it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
