Shane34 Posted October 23, 2020 Author Share Posted October 23, 2020 So after a long wait I finally find a car that was pretty amazing and jumped at the chance to own it. So the car was originally silver NA auto areo top, imported around 2007/2008, 1 older owner for 11years or so, from what I'm told and looking at the mot history he hard did any miles. He sold to his mot tester who from what I can gather flipped the car and made some money. Last owner did a full project and I'll try to document everything that has been done. Chassis is sitting on 54k miles. Full glass out and engine out respray Original twin turbo gte engine fitted Engine had all new seals water pump and detailed. Chassis has all new lower control arms all powder coated. All heat shields painted. New ac condenser and regas New battery Clifford 650mk II Standard face-lift 17inch wheels. Nurspec exhaust Yellow shocks Currently running BPU. Paintwork is exceptionally good I cannot fault it. Jobs to do. Fit new areo top seals order from TCB all 4 Remove rear glass and fit new rear window seal. Find some 18inch wheels that suit RSP. Future plans, new modern 7 speed or 8 speed gear box. I've seen that a a couple of companies are developing the conversions f80 has been done. However the new AA80e and Zf8 are potentially on the horizon. Will post some pictures up soon.

However bank wouldn't let me without a card reader so had to go back the next day. Phil is a decent guy, also got a trip out in his mint red nsx which blew me away. Owned mr2s for decades so back in a 2 seater was fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Bailey Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 Awesome! Phil is one of the nicest and most genuine guy I know! I remember when it was a N/A and he brought it to our monthly Bluewater meet. It was a clean example then, now he’s made it perfect! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having said that, Ryan (Syvecs) has said that it is often used in the UAE in big V8 torque-monster builds and he's yet to hear of one blowing, so who knows... We're aiming for 1500hp so if it holds that, I think it'd give us a good idea as to its strength. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mwilkinson Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 A really nice Supra. Phil is indeed a really nice chap who I’ve had the pleasure of meeting a few times over the years. This car is a credit to him and the new owner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
