Harps Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Hey guys. I've not posted in a long time. I had to move to North Wales and unfortunately, it meant a hit on my disposable income. For the past few years, the old girl has been parked up in my garage - but finally its time to get her back on the road. Its been so long since I've driven my Supra that I've forgotten most of what little I knew, and it seems like there's a lot less traders on here! I had the car running last week, and it had developed a bit of a odd noise from the Aux timing belt tensioner, so that'll need replacing. But there's a few bits I want to get done so I'm after some advice of where to go to purchase the following: Aux Drive Belt Tensioner Aux Drive Belt Cambelt Cambelt Tensioner Water Pump I presume Toyota would be best for these? Is there still a friendly Toyota dealership that gives discount here? Which spark plugs are best for a BPU Supra? Also, and its not that important, but the the air intake pipes for the Turbo's are a bit stiff, and I'd wanted to change them years ago. Is Samco still the best option? Cheers!

Harps Posted February 8, 2017 Author Share Posted February 8, 2017 Thanks guys, looks like I missed the parts I need on the thread but I'll send an email across to tcbparts. Hi harps, also from N.Wales....where abouts are you based? I'm on Anglesey mate. I did used to see a couple of Supra's when I first moved up here, but I've only seen one red one recently around the Valley area. First one I've seen in a couple of years I think!

Harps Posted April 29, 2017 Author Share Posted April 29, 2017 (edited) So close and yet so far. Car was up and running, we were refilling the cooling system but it looks like the alternator has gone. New battery but lost all charge. It looks like she won't be getting mod'd on Tuesday Edited April 29, 2017 by Harps (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harps Posted May 8, 2017 Author Share Posted May 8, 2017 Passed the MOT this afternoon! Emissions test was a bit of a problem, but it got there in the end. Everything else seems fine. Took the kids out for a spin and I was grinning from ear to ear! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
