Supra??

 

I dont want to, I dont really like them as standard but the top secret one floating on ebay looks stunning and with 700bhp more then makes up for its lack of class.

Not especially. If you want power like that, then go for it. Personally, I don't like the look of them and the dash is horrible.

 

Would sooner have a nice R33 GTR instead. Nothing really draws me to the Supra. But then again, that's my opinion.

have a drive in one first b4 you make your mind up as I dont think you will find it a patch on a ZED.

Agree with funki.

Supra stock does look boring and I tend to see a fair few of them around and become less appealing every day.

Rather get a R33/34.

You mention it yourself your not keen but if you want that power and can mod it the way you want then go for it.

I was at a Tatsu meet last night and there was 22 supra's and 2 yes only 2 zeds.

Here ya go, maybe this will put you off. Articulated lorry style dashboard...

 

I agree with all of you lads and if i didnt i wouldnt really be on a zed forum TBH

 

Stock they are shite, no 2 ways about it and ive never ever seen them in a good light untill this one and its fooking nice compared to any of the others ive seen.

 

Interior for si :)

 

 

Nice and clean black lines.

 

 

 

Another one for funky again as i know you love these :rofl:

 

 

Another one ive seen has the tvr flip outside and inside, the inside is very very nice. Lose that steering wheel and it would look a lot better (not very clear pic sorry)

 

 

 

It bothers me seeing so many as SWZ says but ive not seen a top secret in real life so maybe thats whats making me like it :confused:

That's sweet - except the spoiler.

Still a hideous dash. Look at all the stuff bolted to it too. Looks a right royal mess. Those stupid tachos look dreadful too.

 

That Supra (nasty spoiler aside) does look really nice though. I can appreciate they are fine machines though with more tuning potential than the VG30DETT.

they can look very nice but there everywhere lol

Cheers for the opinions lads. Im waiting to hear back from him on a price he is after for it so who knows.

 

I feel a bit dirty even considering one but its not the usual, Ill wake up in a cold sweat later trying to delete this post through the sweat beads :D

I reckon that one would go for £15k+ tidy standard examples (TT manual) still fetch £10k

If it went for 15k for the power and work gone into it would make it a bargain if you could put up with the looks and parking next to the same car all the time.

 

Im still looking for a zed but theres not much up for sale, Ive even been looking at 450bhp but again not much about.

 

Started looking for SWB wide arch clean looking cars but still nothing. I know you need patience but thats not something im great with :mad:

 

The amount of people thats replied to me about selling their cars then never bother getting back to you makes it all the more fun searching :rolleyes:

Personally reckon it would go for more, but just covering my arse. Yeah, for the power it'll give you, £20k would make it a bargain. Could be nearer that figure. Good luck with it. Certainly a nice car. Just fit a nice spoiler and bin that awful tacho if you do and it'll be a really nice one.

You 'could' build your own car though. Find a cheap TT Z with a less than healthy engine and build a high performance monster with a nice paint job. I guess you want something out of the box though and I can see the appeal in that. Someone else's hard graft and patience that you don't have to deal with.

Id rather throw 10-12k at one thats done well, no big scarey basking shark body kits or graphics and so on as close to my taste as possible like that aussie blokes black one in the photos section, Thats the dream. I also loved that matt black zed in someone sig thats sold, cant remember who but it was stunning.

 

Im going to see a 600bhp zed next weekend but as far as im aware its the engine thats had all the mods so will have to see how it goes as im after a middle of the road kind of zed which has a decent amount of all the 3 major jobs done but how can you turn down 600 ponies under your right foot?!?.

 

If i went into building my own beast i could lose the 12k into just the engine without the shell and interior as so on :rofl:

 

Ive spoken to one member off here thats put 7yrs into his car and a lot more money then ive ever had in my hands into it and couldnt sell it for anywhere near what it cost so that means huge savings for me and if the sacrifice i have to make is to put up with a interior thats not amazing then its more then worth it.

Good man nothing cheesey then. Nice to hear. The black Aussie one is lovely. Too many garish creations going about at the moment....Although personally, I don't care too much matt coloured cars either. Each to their own though.

Mac's beast most likely?

I wish mate, That and CJ`s were slightly out of my reach, i didnt even bother talking to mac about his as id need that again on insurance.

He's sunk over £40k into that car I think. :)

Supra??

700bhp - wouldn't matter what it looks like!

This question got me going too...

 

 

 

 

Q: Hi, just wondering what the fuel comsuption is like? I have a 2000 (V reg) vauxhall astra mk4 2.0 sri, beautiful car, full body kit, 17" alloys, lowered, scorpion exhaust, induction kit in metalic black, i doubt you would ever be interested in a trade with that? Thanks Scott

A: HI Scott I `m not really looking for an astra but thanks for the offer. as for fuel consumption it all depends on how you drive, The car can be pr-set to 3 settings 500 - 600 - 700+bhp and the turbo is full adjustable, so if you don't kick in full boost all the time (which would be very hard to do on the road) it just like driving a standard supra but if you want to drive at 200mph then you eat the petrol (its well worth it though)

^^^ Surely that should be 'drink' petrol? lol

 

700bhp - wouldn't matter what it looks like!

 

It would if it looked like Jade Goody. :rofl:

surely 10-12k will convince someone to part with a high spec zed???

 

as for 600bhp zeds,i thought there was only Mac,CJ and Jaffa(maybe,as i dont know his full spec)

 

Paul.

You would think so wouldnt you :cry:

 

I can fully understand why as id feel the same but some people ive spoken too dont realise that the mods you put on a car dont make you that exact cost back or in some cases anywhere near. I know this first hand as my golf had all the work done before we bought it and the mods and private plate cost in excess of 6k and we payed not much over that for it including a car thrown in :rofl:

 

I had a chat with CJ, great bloke but im just off the mark, its had more thrown at it then my work has paid me for a long time so demands a performance car price and being in that exclusive top 3-4 cars in the uk warrents the cost.

 

The power that the zeds put out compared to what other cars can isnt in comparison for the money it costs for amazing increases but thats not what the zed is about is it, Id rather have a zed then an audi or bmw, this is my second car so it doesnt have to make sense :D

 

Im going to put up a new wanted post lowering the bhp wanted and maybe shoot for a SWB wide arch instead ;)

Paul.

 

Cant say too much yet as im not sure if it will work out and i dont know if the seller wants the info up here or not yet. Ill let you know asap allthough i can say its NOT those members mentioned, Its a fresh import :hyper:

Kirbz had a 400 - 500bhp Z over in Japan that he was going to bring over.

 

TBH, a 500bhp is more than enough to give you the 5hits and giggles. When mine wasn't running standard boost, I always thought it was plenty fast enough. It's back on standard boost and whilst everyone else still thinks it's quick, I want it back to how it was and it wasn't anywhere near 500bhp.

Ive had more then my fair share of help from kirbz :bow: Hes put up with me pretty much everyday asking him questions and helping me with what tolook out for. He is looking out for one for me as we speak :D

 

From what ive heard the difference between 450 to 500 isnt that noticable bar less wheelspinning!!

 

Im gonna stick up a new wanted post :)

 

Whats yours had done under the bonnet then Si as i know you like standard ;)
