AJI Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 Chiefgroover is from Northern Ireland - he may have some good contacts over there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bondango Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 We dont have any but Mckeever at Coalisland had 2 Supra's breaking so may be your best bet locally. Marty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StuartW Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 Please explain what a backing plate for the diff is? Do you mean Coupler/damper? (front of) Or Rear Crossmember with mounts in it? (Rear) Knightrider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest girlracer1970 Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 Right got a backing plate for my diff so collected it from the garage yesterday....now that its going im finding loads of things wrong with it... 2 main problems... 1- gear's dont seem to be working too well, its hard getting it into 1st from stationary and also reverse,also really hard to get into 3rd when bringing gears back down... 2- second turbo does not seem to be kicking in and the dump valve dont seem to be dumping anything...lol also have a box under steering wheel that i have no idea what its for(think its boost presure and is this y second turbo not kicking in?) and seem to have a problem with main lights and electrics. CAN ANYONE HELP????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keancy Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 Blimy mate sure sounds like an unlucky buy. Hope you get it all sorted soon so that you can enjoy your Supra how it's intended. Edit: It's just made sense to me, you got anywhere with the Cowboys at keighley trade sports and performance??? Those bast shouldn't be allowed to trade man.

Harllequin Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 Should we not arange a day out. All of us turn up one saturday for a meeting. Stay all day and tell all their customers that turn up what we think of them. If it turns nasty then thats a bonus I say I could bring my hilux and we could all take turns trying to park it in their show yard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
