tdi plc in essex originally built it, but jdm fitted a new turbo, head and bottom end refresh last year done 300 miles since. owned by a 63 year old business man in cornwall, its the best chance of a 1000 hp car and im not missing it !
the gearbox and clutch alone cost Ł8000 last year !
i havnt driven it yet ive paid deposit going to check and buy saturday if all is as described. i cant wait

I'll be honest, I don't think I could bring myself to spend that kind of money on a Supra, or anything jap for that matter, just not my thing.
However, I bet it will be a bloody monster!

i might have got it wrong and it might be a different company......

incidentally, if it has been built right i think 28k is a bargain in the scheme of things, it would cost you ALOT more than that to build one yourself

ive checked around and new the parts are
engine Ł20k minimum
brakes Ł5.5k
gearbox Ł5k
diff Ł2k
clutch Ł2.5k
exhaust Ł2k
thats Ł37k and you still dont have a car to put it in !
it would cost over Ł50k to build that car, fingers crossed it holds up to some santa pod fun at 2 bar boost

i dont need to go to a dyno, i can use my gtech which i have tested at santa pod and against a dd rolling road and it is accurate enough for me
i will get the map checked though for sure once ive run it in.
head has been ported to the exact same spec with same cams but better to be safe than sorry.

So has it got 700hp or 1000hp? And why would you want that much power for road use That bumper needs to go and needs a proper number plate stuck in the right place other than that its a beast.. Supras the only other jap car id have other than a R34 GTR and maybe the new GTR

Thats R34GTR money and if TDI Essex has done anything to it I would not touch it with a bargepole.
No wonder it needed another head if TDI done any head work on it Real tears.
if you see a bill for thousands from TDI half it and its what the guy should have paid...

That is a nice example, these engines are better and make more power than a skyline yet even with huge power seem to be easy to drive around town if you wanted. With regards to who built the engine before any cash changes hands I would want it checked by an independent tuner and judging by a few of the supras that they have built I would say SRD are good shout. It was them that built the engine in the the black 1 that's been in redline and a few jap mags with the plate JimmyP, that in IMO is the best supra around.

Not trying to defend TDI (never had any personal experience with them) but not everything that came out of there was shit!
Also, Paul Howard a good bloke who knows his way around big power Jap cars, so he's a wise person to buy such a car from.
