Spike3.0 Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 I know it has an S plate, but that Supra isn't a 1999. That's a pre-facelift like mine, must be the imported date?!? Needs a tidy up in the engine bay, is that some kind of seal or bad paint? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobSheffield Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 I would hazard a guess the car was originally red. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supra_Sean Posted March 12, 2010 Author Share Posted March 12, 2010 Seal or bad paint where you mean mate ? Thats the date it was first regstired thats all i know. I dont know anything at all about supra's cause i never thought in my life time i would be able to afford one at my age. So what does this mean if its a pre-faccelift ? better for parts wheels etc etc ? still a mk4 tho yeah ? Cheers Sean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike3.0 Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 I would hazard a guess the car was originally red. Agreed, but its like black crime paint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supra_Sean Posted March 12, 2010 Author Share Posted March 12, 2010 I would hazard a guess the car was originally red. Yeah it has had a respray and is abit dodgy in places, It does have this site sticker on it so i asume it has been on this site at some point in its life.

Spike3.0 Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 Facelift has slightly different dash and front headlights/Indicators. Loads of photos on here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Ian Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 Welcome sean, now thats a front bumper ive not seen before, i would defenatly put the front number plate on straight looks weird on one side, as for wheels there are plenty of traders on here and wheel sellers around that can offer you wheels just get the correct offset wider back wheels than front, look in the for sale section JamieP has a nice set for sale Cheers -Ian- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

northeast_supra Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 Yes and them stickers will be coming off when i get to play with the car along with the front number plate being replaced, Hate stickers on cars, well them sort of stickers anyways haha Even though stickers arent everyones cup of tea if your car is equiped with noz then you really should keep the stickers on the back even a small sticker on the boot just to let emergency services know its in the car incase of an accident (lesson from experience talking here) just an opinion for everyones safety including your own Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supra_Sean Posted March 12, 2010 Author Share Posted March 12, 2010 Yeah i did get told about this, However the bottle is empty and to be fair i will probs never fill it up, We shall see, Got to make sure the car is running 100% all the time as i drive to the uk on my leave then back to Germany lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pot Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 Good to see you signed up mate - The car looks pretty nice, and you kept that NOS bit quiet you git!... lol However northeast_supra has a fair point about keeping a sticker on the car just in case, thinking about it, shouldn't there be a 'compressed gas' style sticker, like with LPG?... Anyhow, glad you're on here (And membershipped already? The forces are paying you too much... lol ), you'll find everything you need, and loads of knowledge, and you mentioned on FB your car already had a club sticker on it, maybe chuck a post up in the 'Was it you' board to see of the old owner's on here?...

Ace Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 However northeast_supra has a fair point about keeping a sticker on the car just in case, thinking about it, shouldn't there be a 'compressed gas' style sticker, like with LPG?... The hazardous "compressed gas" stickers are only required on commercial vehicles (artics, ambulances, works vans, etc). Although it'd be a first to see a Supra with a hazardous sticker on it...
