heartworm Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 Ive done a lot of hunting for the supra for me, or so it seems, fortnight ago I travelled over 1000 miles to look at this car. But the immaculate condition it was in had a fair bit of paintwork, anditlooked like the bumper had been off in an accident, although the engine looked/sounded sweet. I ended up travelling down to Bradford and picked this up though 3.0 TT manual http://content.alternativenation.net/gallery/files/2/7/4/4/mine5.jpg http://content.alternativenation.net/gallery/files/2/7/4/4/mine3.jpg http://content.alternativenation.net/gallery/files/2/7/4/4/mine1.jpg http://content.alternativenation.net/gallery/files/2/7/4/4/mine2.jpg About to hit 60,000km Mods Volk alloys, BLITZ exhaust system, HKS induction, HKS coilovers, HKS BOV, HKS turbo timer Strut Brace MOMO steering wheel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 Looks nice mate. Well done. You should have posted on here about that other one. It's just up the road from here, about 10 miles. I would have gladly gone and checked it out for you before you came all this way. BTW, for your first mod you want to change that air filter. They're crap those ones.

I had read that on here, was planning on changing it, aswell as putting some new sideskirts on, the RH side has a nasty mark on it, apart from that its all good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 lovely looking car mate red is defo the way to go IMO not that im biased in any way... if your taking them skirts off i'll happily buy them off you:innocent: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 putting some new sideskirts on, the RH side has a nasty mark on it New side skirts? Can't you just get the damaged bit repainted? Genuine Toyota skirts are about the best quality ones out there 'cos they're not made of fibreglass. Being urethane they're much more damage resistant. What are your first mods going to be? I would go for clear repeaters, facelift indicators, UK headlights and then leave it alone for a while. It's already got good wheels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoboblio Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 Nice one, looks good As Jake says, some facelift goodies like indicators would look great, oh and facelift rear lights, quite cheap and make a big different IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's already got good wheels. it looks like the sideskirts been kirbed, its got a knock out of the bottom of it, cant see it in the pics, its quite hard to notice at all, but its something that bothers me. Only mods im really thinking of are the clear repeaters and the facelft indicators, will save up for the uk headlights, and some new pedals, othar than that I am very happy with it.

supRo Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 Mate, did you mean you actually got it from Bradford? May have read it wrong. It wasn't Keighley trade centre was it? Just that the pics looks similar to their premises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conrad Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 I don't think this was from Keighley Trade Center. I saw this car up on the Auto Trader a couple weeks back. Was cheap for a 6 Speed. If I rememeber correctly the ad on AT made it look real dull but when I looked at the pics on the sellers website I saw these pics - and it's very nice! Congratulations on your Supe mate!

heartworm Posted November 24, 2005 Author Share Posted November 24, 2005 The front bumper is a slightly darker red than the rest of the car, wheels sold me on it, had that special feeling when I went to view this one, £7895 I paid at the end of the day. getting the bumper colour fixed in January, booked into a bodyshop to get it done then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
