The-Plethora Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 Looks good, don't go giving it "big spuds" in this weather though! nice and easy does it when you pick it up Somewhere on here there is a link to become a full paid up member £10 a year or £30 for lifetime membership from what I recall. This is the only forum I have ever paid to join and it's deffinately worth the money. Welcome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome Haha yeah ill be driving Ms Daisy while the weather is like this, even if it was as dry as a bone i would as im jumping from a 1.6 VTEC Del Sol auto!! Yeah wicked thanks for the tip, joined up a bit earlier today so im sure you'll hear more from me, would be great to go to the meets never really had a sexy enough motor to do that sorta thing! Does the engine in the pic seem to have anything amiss judging from your much more trained eyes? Cheers for the welcome guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSK Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 welcome, as Supra owner, the best £10 you can ever spend is paying to be a full member here, as mentioned above, this is the only forum I have ever paid for and £10 is very fair for what you get Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Slater Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 Cheap as chips and the info / support / insurance savings are amazing..... Roll on Saturday, bit of a trek to get the new girl but damn it's going to be worth it! Plus it will give me plenty of time to tame all that extra power! Just hope the snow does one. Hope it all goes smoothly and i can get my ass along to one of the meets, seems like theres some really good people on here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 Hello and welcome The car looks nice and clean, though I'd recommend you get the geometry fully checked out by a specialist. The ride high looks very low and that is not good for handling. Do you know which springs/dampers are fitted? Also check the tyre make, you don't want any ditchfinders in this weather Best of luck with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Noticed a couple more things... The HKS filter is garbage, it needs to be changed for a proper one (preferably stock). Check the intake track for signs of debris/grit. The door shut on one of the pics looks poor, it might just not be closed correctly, but check the panel gap is perfect. There is no reason for it not to be. Check that the aerial retracts fully, it seems to be at two different hights in the pictures. The bonnet gaps don't look right, and the headlights have been changed or painted. Check for front end damage Not saying it's a bad one, but these are the things that the photos draw attention to. Hope it works out well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Slater Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Mate that is exactly the kind of eye i needed.....cant believe you noticed that stuff! Hope it's all just coincidence, otherwise it will be 3-4 hours for a test drive! Thanks for the heads up on that, really appreciate it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexM Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 I do usually go to the Midlands meets, it's a good opportunity for a steak. There aren't any planned for this year that I know of (yet). Slater isn't your surname by any chance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Slater Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Supra and Steak sounds like an awesome set up....well hopefully there will be something going on when the weather stops being shit Nah just a nickname. why'd you ask?
