good luck with it mate looks a nice motor

 

well the stroker kit is £10k thats just crank, rods and pistons with main caps. turbo kit is £5k, then theres a new head from toyota, fully ported with new cams and valves. inlet £1k, intercooler £1k, management £1k, injectors and rail £1k the list goes on then youve got labour on top, i could see a tuner charging £50k to build it from a stock supra.
but to answer your question no £20k wouldnt cover it, i was being conservative as you have to be when priceing up a cars worth in parts to get a sensible resail value
this car is worth mega money in parts so its all good imo
car is also a 1 owner car with 42000 miles on the clock. theres a good chance its been well looked after being 1 owner for 10 years.

 

did you buy it??? whats it like compared to r32?

 

+1 we need updates!

 

strange how people say an old sierra in standard form can be worth 10k on top of that supra though! (and actually sell for it too!)

find 900 bhp cheaper elsewhere.. bet you cant!

unreal motor, even if it 'only' made 700bhp. thats a serious car!

 

would make 650 on a completely stock bottom end, only bolt on parts ie turbo etc

Updates?

 

is that road legal!? fook that lol

 

what spec was the on kev sharp beat at crail?he claimed 1200hp at time but was running 11s.

 

So did you buy it or not?

Maybe still out.........

Or maybe he got arrested for speeding when he pulled out of the drive way in 1st gear

 

 

It was the same car on the old spec , Im sure it ran 9's on a proper track in that spec.

 

lol thats not a road car no comparison

 

i just got home 2 mins ago, cant report much as engines only done 500 miles now so needs another 500 miles minimum running in. awesome car got a few little bits to do and finish run in before i try wot

pics will follow in abit

 

since that dyno run was done the car has had a new head to same spec and brand new turbo, it was only 600 miles ago dyno run was done aswell.
the exhaust is truly a work of art, ive never seen anything like it.

 

very nice mate

 

Looks superb Hope you have lots of fun in it

 

A few of us discussed how much Nick spent on it in total over the years and we reckon its a good £100k+

 

Fucking lovely car, Im very very jealous.

Supra's are a favourite of mine to begin with, and thats pretty much the ultimate spec for it.

I dare say if you take it out and drive it hard a lot when the previous owner hasnt you'l find a few problems so I would want some extra money in the bank set aside for that, but other than that I think its a brilliant bargain for the 25K or so Im guessing you gave for it?

 

£27500 with a brand new spare rear tyre, 2 almost new front spare tyres and a brand new spare 1 front and 1 rear alloy wheel.

its my dream car mate i had to buy it.
i think i have isolated what caused the last failure so i can rectify it so it doesnt happen again not through the same cause anyways.

 

Looks nuts.

Hopefully you can take me out in this one before it gets sold or dismantled !

I'll wait until its atleast run in though

 

I take back what i said about not liking the wheels, it must have been the shit quality pics on page 1/2, looks spot on in the pics you took

Now keep it on the black stuff

 

I'm not normally a fan of Jap cars but that's lovely, an an awesome spec too!!

 

that looks awesome mate

 

did well on petrol aswell i reckon, proper just cruising but managed 280 odd miles with 1/4 tank left so should do 370 to a full tank.
before anyways says it no i dont give a toss what fuel it uses but it proves its set up fairly well to cruise and return that mileage with a 3.4 litre motor.
the fuel tanks are 70 litres so its returning 24 mpg cruising that was ranging from 60 - 77 mph.
im pretty sure thats a good cruise tune considering a cossie only returns early 30 mpg at best with just 2.0 of capacity.

what i find very strange is tdi mapped it on esso 97 ron ?
i guess its a good thing though as i run v power 99 so extra safety margin in theory.

 

that looks 10 times better in your pics than the original pic posted!

nice looking car! only tiny bit im not sure on is the circular holes.

but that is a weapon for sure!

 

That does actually look really good mate and I am also jealous. Defiantly need some videos of it in action when you can!

 

Looks amazing, really good looking car. Good luck with it

 

+1 it does actually look really nice, I actually like it and I'm not the biggest fan of Supra's

I really hope the car prooves reliable for you

 

lovely!!

 

Mega mega spec car. Bet it sounds the absolute nuts.

 

looks insane ,enjoy

 

Love it, should easily pull 200mph I rekon.

 

thanks for the comments. i know its not a ford but the first few stones on the road to my dream car were all cosworths, its just grown from a stage 3 saph 10 years ago to this today the ultimate road car imo, that could be used on track or at pod aswell.

 

yes please - TIDY!

 

I agree that it looks miles better in the pics you've taken yourself, hope running in and all subsequent abuse it gets goes without a hitch. It'll be pretty lively when it's on high boost getting its ring booted!!


Cheers,
Grant

 

Saw that on ebay few days back, fair play live the dream, enjoy!

 

My dream car mate.. Very jelous!

 

stunning!!!
