j_jza80 Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 Rocking a 1JZ now. Seem to remember it being a big budget build a few years back https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Toyota-Supra-heavily-modified-/203629982529?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l6249&mkrid=710-127635-2958-0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noz Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 I remember him going out in the wet wondering why his 3.4 didn't grip with traction control LOL bought an R35 after that. Whoops. RWD fail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keron Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 Wasn’t that car a write off before? Uk shell…Recorded on the Hpi? im sure it might have been years ago when I was offered it before Kaan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Style Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 It's on a W58 as well so only makes like 400hp on a fully built, big single 1J. Still looks nice though, might appeal to someone looking for a bit of a project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people in the states spend insane money on bare shells because of the VIN and the associated factory spec it came with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me condition or over all functionality is more important. But then I'm a poor NA owner so we seem to think differently Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 No different to the old Ford market, people pay loads for a scrap shell just for the VIN 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mugello Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 The same can be said for the original mini coopers - Its all about the VIN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
