After numerous showings/emails/texts/phone calls etc, I wanted to update this ad with more info.

This Supra started life as a pampered NA 5-speed Supra for the first 105k miles of it's existence.   Roughly 8 years ago, the transplant was completed (professionally), from Non-turbo 5-speed to TT- 6-speed(Getrag).   The 2JZ-GTE  engine saw no more than factory boost limits (~11.7psi) for nearly the entire life of the current engine(up until about 200 miles ago).

The car has the complete NA-TT swap minus the rear brake calipers.  The only reason is that ultimately I might have put a set of 15" drag wheels on the car, and the TT rear calipers don't work with these anyway, so the NA rear calipers remain.

All other standard NA to turbo parts have been converted(Front TT calipers, driveshaft, rear end, LSD,etc.).

Currently the Car is running a single turbo conversion, and is at ~500rwhp.  The car is on stock fuel and ECU, and the clutch has a "stock feel".  This makes for the perfect street Supra.

If you ever driven or owned a Supra with 800+hp, it sounds great on paper, but is simply not "streetable".

This car has the best of both worlds....Perfectly streetable--drives like a stock Supra....with a ton more "punch".    And is ready to go to the next level (give it AEM EMS and a Fuel upgrade and you're at 700+hp).

Please see the numerous pics below, but I would describe the car as followed:

Exterior-
The car was repainted in the Factory Renaissance Red, a few years ago.  The paint/sheen etc. look great, but there are a few chips(up front--hood and front bumper), and random door dings,etc(~10).  All the dings, could be repaired using PDR (paintless dent removal)  From 12+ feet away the car looks perfect.  As you get a little closer, you start seeing things that could use correction.  There is a 1" x 5" scrap on the front bumper cover (pass side, below light).

Interior-
This was the selling point of the car for me.  The is my 3rd MKIV, and I've also owned 3 Lexus SC300 cars.  As you start looking at cars that are 15-20 years old, the overall condition can vary two-fold.   This car clearly was garaged its entire life, as you can tell by the interior.  There is some slight sun-fading in the dash (it spent numerous years in AZ).  But overall the interior looks fantastic for it's age.

Motor-

The car does emit a little blue smoke on start up, which is the value steam seals (very common GTE issue).  I wanted to make sure that health of the motor is good however, so I just took the car in to get a compression and leak down test.  Both tests came back perfect!(formal documentation can be sent upon request).  Brand new plugs were just gapped, and installed, and the coilpacks were checked for any cracks (again..no issues).  As stated above this engine wasn't abused, and never pushed beyond 12psi.  Exact mileage of the engine is unknown, but approximate mileage is 50-60K.  In addition, the mileage of the chasis (138,200) is actually high.  The rear gearing wasn't swapped till about 2 months ago, so it was reading ~30% incorrect.  I estimate the actual mileage of the car at ~128K.

Items of attention-

1.  The rear power antenna is broke off at the base (all Toyotas/Lexus's with this style antenna eventually break......poor design).  The car has a App Radio, so it uses your cellphone to stream musics (Pandora, etc), so I never bothered to fix the antenna.
2. The rear tires are brand new, but the fronts could use a replacement in the near future (the car has been stored for 4 out of the last 5 years, on these tires).
3. The cruise control was deleted with the 98 steering wheel swap.  All compenents were retained, so it could be added back.
4. Since the car was lowered, with widened wheels, there is a small amount of rubbing over large bumps, etc.  Very common issue with any modified car.
5.  There is a small oil leak coming from the oil pan.
6.  The airbag light in on
7.  The power door lock actuators don't seem to work. (easy fix, but never got around to it).

Shipping/trades/financing:

1. I will sell the car internationally, if  the buyer pays all expenses, and completes payment via bank wire.   I live in Colorado so shipment to any "Port" city would have to be paid for at the buyers expense.  I will also ship the car to anywhere in the US (again the buyers expense---Uship is actually very reasonable), but payment would have to be made via Cashiers check, or bank wire.

2. I'm not accepting any trades at this time.

3. Financing-  MKIV Supras are between 16 and 21 years old.  You typically cannot finance these cars "traditionally".   I"ve personally used JJBest, as they will finance any Classic or Specialty vehicle with 20% down.   Also Credit unions typically are a better bet than large banks.

Five automakers now being investigated by NHTSA for airbag woes

Thu, 12 Jun 2014

It appears that Toyota's renotification to owners of recalled vehicles from last year is just the tip of the iceberg for what could potentially be a much larger industry-wide recall. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is opening a preliminary evaluation investigation into roughly 1.1 million vehicles from Chrysler, Honda, Mazda, Nissan, Toyota and parts supplier Takata regarding faulty airbag inflators in several models.
NHTSA has received six reports - three directly, two from Takata and one from Toyota - of vehicles with ruptured airbag inflators from 2002-2006, which resulted in three injuries. So far, all six incidents have occurred in high humidity areas like Florida and Puerto Rico. According to Toyota's latest recall announcement, the inflators may have an improper propellant that could cause it to rupture in a crash and the bag to deploy abnormally.
This new investigation follows a previous recall from April 2013 of about 3.4 million vehicles worldwide for the airbag inflators from Takata. As Autoblog reported, Toyota jumpstarted the new situation when it found that the original list of serial numbers for the faulty part was incomplete and discovered more cars in need of replacement. Honda and Nissan told us that they were investigating whether further models would need called in again as well. Mazda told Autoblog: "Regarding the current Takata situation, we're working closely with NHTSA and investigating the situation, but nothing else to report at this time." Chrysler Group responded to us with the statement: "Chrysler Group engineers are conducting the appropriate analysis. The Company will cooperate fully with the National Highway Traffic Administration."

400-hp Toyota Hybrid-R Concept gets second teaser

Tue, 13 Aug 2013

Toyota has released a second teaser of its Hybrid-R Concept, along with an estimation of the show car's power output. Using technology that's "similar to that used by Toyota Racing's TS030 Hybrid race car," the concept is expected to deliver over 400 horsepower.
The press release also mentions that the new concept is based on a current production model. While it's difficult to tell from the sole teaser image of the car's body, rumors are flying that it's related to the Yaris. If that's the case, though, it's difficult to know what to make of this concept. The teaser image is quite dark, but we played around with the exposure and came up with an image that reveals more details about the new concept. Take a look at the related gallery, below, to see the high-exposure image. We'll find out for certain what the Hybrid-R is in a few weeks at the Frankfurt Motor Show. Let us know what you think Toyota's newest concept is in the comments.
