TT350 Posted July 6, 2016 Author Share Posted July 6, 2016 No. Or own my own garage with Mr Arizona working there when hes not working at Harrys. Tuning companies are glacial in their response time and always booked up 3/4 months in advance. Also, may sell the car as is with fully built bottom end supplied but unfitted. Will need circa 3000 quid spending on it to get it fitted then you're back on the road albeit with only 430bhp. Might be interested pal if you do decide to start selling bits. Sent on the move, excuse any typos No bits. Just as a whole if I do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snjur Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Either way you look at it, it takes a sh.. load of $$$ to build something which can be used daily and reliable over 600 bhp. Just in parts you have 5500-6000 usd without shipping and custom. Decent Ecu is around 1500 1500 usd second hand Injector depends new or second around 600 usd. Turbo kit as well from 5000 onwards. And than various fabrication and mechanical jobs around block, heads etc... Man it really ends up in hughe amount. Specially if you are not in those "waters" where u know people so u need to pay for labour as well for materials.

Awsome news mate Thanks Yeah it was a welcome respite from the sh1t storm! Be able to get engine fitted soon and things like coil overs and a disc and pad upgrade until I turn the boost up then I'll need bbk conversion from torqen. Can't remember what other parts I had on order with Adrian. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djtimo Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 Good news on this one mate!

TT350 Posted July 24, 2016 Author Share Posted July 24, 2016 (edited) It was about the time mate, finally sunny on your road! Happy for you! Thankyou mate.

Thankyou mate. Will have to meet up when I'm back on the road. Yeah it's not quite as straightforward as you think. Lots of Z's running 400-450bhp but after that they're rare due to the internal overhaul and all the rest that comes with it. Lots of time and patience needed. I often just thought of getting a Supra with 600+bhp already. Soon be back on the road though even if it is temporarily 450bhp. Twin turbo Z's are very rare and that in itself is a good reason to persevere. Howe your Z? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMballistic Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 Thanks G. 24 boosted Z's in the UK. I wonder how many in Europe. They'll be more than that though remember as they're just the ones listed from forum members. Not going to be too many on top though but there will be a few more I'm sure of that.
