Hi Guys, I wonder if you can give me some advice.

I currently own a very highly modified MKIV Supra. I am thinking of selling it and buying a built Ultima. Can you tell me what the secondhand price ranges are for the various models, and point me in the right direction for sourcing one.

TIA

Terry

l had a race about a year ago with such a Supra on the M20, wasnt you l suppose? The driver followed me home and we spent an hour chatting in my drive. He just beat me but was running 500 plus bhp against my 7 cylinders and 3/4 throttle. Next time....

Na wasn't me, I have a bit more power than that ;-)

The Supra is pretty devasting in a straight line, but I am sure you would have destroyed it on the twisty's.

Are you a UK resident. BTW, when you say Ultima TT is that a 2JZ-GTE lump?

GTRmannen,

Are you going to let us in on you little secret yet!

Remember then last time the thread of your engine choice came up you wouldnt tell us what you were going to use.

My guess is a 4.2l v8 TT out of an Audi RS6.

Am I close?

OK,

Ive figured it out and I know what you will use.
(No Audi but my guess at capacity was close)
I will leave it up to you to tell anyone interested.

Don't keep us in suspense, where and how?.... was it at the strip or on a brisk B road?
