Well hello
I'm Lee from York and I have a V8 Soarer, met a few of you at a Squires Cafe meet last month.
Anyway just came on to say hello and also to say i'm on the lookout for some standard suspension (springs & dampers), but I'm tight so looking to pay as little as possible. So if anybody has upgraded their standard gear and is looking for a home for their OE stuff (assuming it isn't shagged) then i may be interested.:sly:
Gonna have a wonder about this place now
Here's a pic or 2 of my chariot, assuming they come out
Cheers

nice motor mate... nice scenery too....
:welcome:
Hi and welcome - I have a set of standard springs very good condition but I don't know what they're worth
Welcome to the club Lee.
I have a brand new set of Bilstein dampers available. See details here:
http://mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=74771
These are OEM dampers made by Bilstein for Toyota, these were an optional performance upgrade for the Supra and were fitted as standard on some of the later models. One of the best dampers available for the Supra.

Hi and welcome to the forum
Jurassic Park!
I think we chatted at Squires in June, nice to see you on the forum :)
I've got a pair of front KYBs (normal ones) and rear Bilsteins that I took off the car recently, I also have some standard Supra springs in the garage somewhere, it's all UK stuff though so slightly softer that some of the Japanese kit. Replaced for fun rather than due to wear, they have a few miles on them though.
I'd like £80,000 for them, in reality I'd swap them for 4 cans of lager :)

Nic, thanks but that is way more than I wanted to spend dude
I have no idea what second hand gear is worth, but I'm not looking at spending much guys

Michael, they will probably do the job nicely as the JDM stuff is a bit stiffer and others who have bolted on the supra stuff have commented the ride is a little harsher.
So how much do ya want dude?

Edit: The missus wants a bar of chocolate as well.
The stuff I have available was on my car when I took this:

that sounds like my kind of deal!
what's your poison?
You're not shitting me are you?
yes that is my car next to yours, don't wanna throw those alloys in do you? hehe
You can't go wrong with Stella and Galaxy :)
Not jesting, just need some space in the garage, sadly the alloys can't be included, they are in getting a refurb at the moment so I'm hoping they will be looking pretty again.
Where abouts do you live?

I'm in York mate
Wow, what a deal!
No massive hurry so can arrange a convenient time to meet up, or are you going to squires in August?
I'm also most likely going to JAE on the Saturday, 22nd I think it is
cheers
really appreciate it!
I'm in York mate
I'm in south Leeds so not too far away, I can always blast up the M1 / A64 and meet you somewhere convenient.
Wow, what a deal!
You've caught me in a rare good mood ;)

I'll be at Squires but before then is fine with me, I don't have much on at the moment.

It looks as though I might not be there or Sunday only at present so we can sort something out before then if it helps you out.
What do you think about the pedestrianisation of Norwich City Centre?

I'm struggling, it's one of those roads that doesn't really have much on it :)
If it's early Saturday I could meet you in the Designer Outlet place and then I'll take the missus into York shopping.
Alan Partridge
13-07-06, 11:31
can you define early though?:d
I like to get into York before 10 if I can, I get annoyed if it's too busy :)

right, that sounds like a plan, HID even wants to come along, not sure if it is out of interest with the cars or because of the location of the meet:innocent:
suggest we meet in the front carpark, so take the right lane into the entrance. will you be in the beast?
I suspect the location is the lure, it could be an expensive day :)
Chances are I'll be in the Punto because I'm a gaylord and don't like leaving the Supra unattended in public carparks :rolleyes:
