Topic: [WTS] 1997 Toyota Supra Turbo (15th Anniversary Edition) (Read 12246 times)
Can you edit the topic title to say sold?
I wanted to add that I'm also okay with financing through your bank so long as roughly half is paid via BTC.
Auto-tranny.....and still divine! Nice ride mate! 
Thanks
Notice for interested buyers:
I have a deal for some mining machines possibly closing in the next few days. If you have BTC and you are serious, your chance is soon coming to an end!

Very clean Supra. A year or two from now I'd be interested solely to own one as a dyno queen. I'm sticking with AWD for my track rat GLWS, hopefully it goes to someone who will respect the car. Makes me sad when I see trashed Supras although I see fewer and fewer as they get wrecked by people.

That's why this car has all original body styling except for the JDM license plate pods; they really add a uniqueness to the car. Nothing like having a unique car thats even more unique among its own kind
I couldn't turn down the chance to buy it from the original owner and to save it from being butchered by some kid who's seen Fast and the Furious too many times. Additionally, elderly original owner? YUP. I gotta buy it. He was a great gentleman and whoever it buys it from me I'll share the story with since he was a slightly prominent figure.According to the book "Celica and Supra: The Book of Toyota's Sports Coupes" by Brian Long....

Nearly every Supra owner I know owns a 1993 or 1994. I know no other 1997 owner personally, although I have seen one or two.

Will be in contact in less than a week, very interested. Have to get my BTC together and see what I can come up with. Willing to meet halfway, I am in Illinois?
If you're paying the full amount in BTC, I will discount the cost of a airplane ticket for you to fly out and pick it up

A lot of people have expressed interest in trading BFL Singles for my car as well. I may entertain these offers, however my goal is at least $28k BTC, so I have to be able to get roughly that if I am selling your singles (or single + BTC).
Whether you're trading Avalons or BFL products, they are a means to end and I have no preference of one over the other. However at this time, Avalons are slightly higher in value and this is most likely due to being a hire hash rate and possible future upgrade, but feel free to correct me if I am wrong.

I was interested in this until the 2nd picture revealed that it's an automatic.
Except that the autos are faster and those that go for serious power generally switch to a built auto.... (I was going to do this). There is even a thread on the supraforums in the drag section regarding "save the 6 speeds!" lol
Nonetheless, you could always switch it easily.
Have you ever boosted 25+ lbs on a high HP car? I am a wuss and it's pretty damn scary. I prefer to keep both my hands on the steering wheel.

Holy shit, I always love those cars.
It must make a hell of a lot noise O-O

I put a Apexi Active Tail silencer on it so that it wouldn't be when cruising (it's SOOO quiet cruising). However, it has a spring in it that allows it to open up if you floor it. I really did just drive this like a grandma. It's a fun show stopper no matter where you go.
This car has FAR more work into it then even mentioned in the original post.
Yes its a very nice car. If only I had the funds..

Whats the mileage on the new motor? Do you have the title for the engine?
Who tuned this car? Any dyno sheets to prove whp?

The mileage is in the original post. I'll take a look to get exact. I have a signed bill of sale with VIN number from original owner of engine (I pulled it with owner at his house).
I personally tuned the car (I can tune AEM systems), however I never went for max HP as its not my thing. I went for drivability. So a little dyno tuning and mostly street tune (with heavy analyzation of the telemetry). Being a programmer, I actually developed software to analyze logs to auto tune the car that I might sell. I spent no less than 100 hrs doing so. I also built it for great mileage when driving conservatively.
I did try twice to dyno it at a well known places in San Diego. Both times they were unable to do so because it generately so much torque and would break traction. We even tried with sand bags and two people in the back.

The fuel system supports roughly 1000 HP.
The current Greddy T78 supports around 750 HP.
These engines can handle 900-1000 HP stock without modification, although I wouldn't advise if you plan to beat on it.
To create more HP for my car, literally, I only need to change the turbo. That's it. Nothing else because every other support system, including a complete Standalone Car Engine Management System (AEM), multiple fuel pumps, larger injectors, etc. have already been installed.
Honestly, 600-700 HP seems plenty to me, but in the world of Supras, it's just a baby ;p

So about how many HP is the car with your mods?
thats a damn nice car u got right there !
I'm so sad that by the time I'm able to afford this it would probably be in the hands of some sad rice boy. If you can't sell it now can I keep in touch as a future interested buyer?
Sure thing.. To be honest, I have gone back and forth on selling it a few times. It is the only car that I have ever owned that makes me feel that "feeling" all over again when I sit in it like the day I first bought it. I love driving it. You really feel like you're in a cockpit since everything is angled towards the driver. So many owners have gone on to other cars, said the same thing, and regretted it.
When I went to purchase it, one thing I said to the original owner (remember in his 70s) was "where is the cupholder?" He said, "there are none. This car is driving, not drinking." True story.
