So after viewing STIs, Evos, GT4s, Skylines this popped up on gumtree. One phone call yesterday, a viewing today and the thing was mine.

Spec:

- 1996 Toyota Supra Twin Turbo
- Automatic (Preferred choice)
- 65,000 miles
- Completely stock engine, never been messed with
- 30mm drop on springs
- Kakimoto Cat-Back Exhaust
- Same owner last 11 years
- Immaculate interior and paint
- M50 GTT (Twin Turbo) Private Reg

Classified Photos:

To say I'm over the moon with this motor would be an understatement.

Plans:

- New rear discs and brake pads
- Replace alloys with something else, probably 18" instead of 19
- Basic Performance Upgrades to take it close to 400BHP
- Front splitter of some description
- Get some better photos taken
- Enjoy it

Thanks for reading.

Well done on the purchase. Looks mint. Always been a fan of supra's and they still look great. Any particular reason why auto box was your preferred choice?

Price, manual would have cost me double. Also sitting in traffic is easier.

Maybe if I win the lottery I'll convert it, but for myself personally I don't see the need.

Have a look at SupraStick, keep the auto with benefits of manual.

Had a rather embarrassing moment earlier when the alarm went off and immobilised the car, I had no idea how to switch it off, blocking traffic!

:oops:

Looks like a good example.

I quite like the standard UK alloys if you are looking at options

Nice car and a lot of potential.
Wheels are a no no tho.

We’re half there woah living in Ballyclare
I have driven both manual and auto in these and auto I much preferred. The English geezer I used to go to jae with loved his auto and said it was the way to go in them. I would put the UK turbo wheels on with spacers and maybe a UK duck bill plastic splitter then get it to pmg for a detail and keep it for dry days. That thing will only appreciate in value.

Absolutely lovely car, big Supra fan here :grinning:.

The Auto box is actually very good and can be locked in gear when conditions require.

I love it. I've had a DSG box before and the auto in the Supra is actually smoother to me and will be more than enough for my intended power figure!
