Guest MrAQ Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 Thought I'd share pics of my crashed non- import L Reg UK Supra Twin Turbo. Not sure if I should repair or sell as is or strip. Just want to see feedback from all the ethusiasts. Is Not recorded Semi-sport spring and shock kit. Full HKS Air kit. Decat pipe, all HKS exhaust system intact barring rear box!!!!!!!! Cat A alarm and imobaliser TRACKER..LOL not that its going any where Full cream leathers Air bags intact All glass intact (tinted) Boot, rear lights, spoiler intact, rear driver quarter intact. All doors, mirrors and locks trims in tact All boot equipment interior intact Much of the mechanical items intact, the car was tuned and fiddled to perfection = timing belt about 2k ago, by TDI they claimed it was pushing in the region of 380bhp+ Anyways let me know your thoughts...

Gaz6002 Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 Hi! Best of luck with it. That looks costly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest CoolsBlue Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 get it jigged out, get the front fixed as its not as hard as others, rear arch will need to be cut out and a new one welded in place, id go with fixing it, dont go through insurance, will definatley be write of, and the UK spec supra is rare...

Homer Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 If thats an auto and it's gone through insurance it'll be a write off. It'll be a £5k+ fix due the the replacement parts and work needed to fit, provided it doesn't need a jig. The going rate is about £2k for scrap UK auto's, 6spd's are a bit more The brakes are worth about £600, the resistor pack and injectors around £200, the wheels and tyre's, around £200 if in good condition. The rest doesn't have too much demand. If you can get it back at a good price then it's worth parting it out. Shame to see another UK spec gone. There can't be many left now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil tt Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 Thats terrible, hope you manage to sort it:( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyT Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 Ouch! Sorry to see that bud. Hope you're ok. As Homer says it's a shame to see a uk spec go. Saying that , it's a long slog to get back ok. So it'll depend on money and time. Good look. A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

japone Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 how did you manage to smash it up that bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonlady Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 Ouch thats a sad sight hope everyone was ok. Gotta agree with Homer in that I would imagine that it would cost at least £5k to repair and insurers would probably write it off:(. If you do decide to strip it I maybe interested in all of the Dash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 i'd want a closer inspection but from those pics i dont see anything too scary to put right, looks worse than it is imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnA Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 shame, a black UK TT out of action... dying breed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 Shame It's a breaker unless you can't contemplate letting it die and want to plough lots of your own money into it - could be worth buying a J-Spec that's straight to use as a donor car, plenty of those around.

edge Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 As michael said, i would look for a nice tidy donor car and transplant all the goodies over, plus you can sell on parts left to make some money back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dan22 Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 holy shit, u must hav been avin sum fun b4 that hapend haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 Crikey, you must have been having some fun before that happened. Guffaw guffaw. Hilarious isn't it To the original poster - pay your £10 so you can join up properly and hang around, get into the for sale section and either get an NA donor car and use used bits from a TT for the rest or use that section to break the car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Class One Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 holy shit, u must hav been avin sum fun b4 that hapend haha Try a bit harder will you? It doesn't take much to type "Holy shit, you must have been having some fun before that happend haha. Oh it and must of been hilarious as he crashed his car.

uzthedentist Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 oh dear, thats pretty bad. I was able to fix mine and it was similar to that, however youre looking in the region of 5k to sort something like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
