  1. Probably check all fluids, get rid of the old petrol in the tank and get fresh, check disks etc and drive it. Get it on a ramp and just check her over. Has she been moved in 2 years or just started up and shut down?
  2. OK - I'll put the price back up! - - - Updated - - - Cheeky tyke!
  3. German buyer gone quiet, bloke supposed to come Sunday failed to appear! So still for sale folks - sensible offers close to the reduced price considered.
  4. It does look very CW - if it has an aroma of cheap ale and BS intolerance then it's definitely his!

    Hello guys

    Then buy it quickly before it heads off to the continent - all sensible offers considered
  6. CW Fast Road Pads + OEM disks - job done. Porterfield are really dusty - wouldn't go there.

    Hello guys

    Quite obviously a running car, roughly 1996 I'd say, tastefully modded with great power, presence and a bit unique I'd say

    Hello guys

    What you after??
  10. Seen by my lad on the England/Scotland border - parked up, pretty much stock but with a Dragonball 06 sticker! A698 in the village of Coldstream.
  11. Toyota put it there for a reason, same as the rear spoiler. Take that off, do 120mph and then brake hard - see what it does then!!
  12. Thank you mate, appreciate that comment. There is currently interest from abroad (Germany) so we'll see where it goes.
  13. So is this no good the Supra then if you couldn't get it to fit?
  14. Have had another ECU in to eliminate that option - still there. The odo might be the issue - I have a new cluster sat in the office that I could try - that would eliminate that too I suppose.
  15. Mine's done this for years and it really isn't a big issue. If you find out what it is, let us know and I'll get mine done too!
  16. Not a prayer of leaving the fold - too many good friends here
  17. Well pointed out - will amend! And I'll PM you about the reasons.
  18. CAR HAS NOW SOLD - NEW OWNER SHOULD APPEAR VERY SOON! Certain events have transpired recently meaning that this is now probably the time to let the car go. I'm in no mad rush to sell as certain other things need to happen before the replacement car is found so silly offers will not be entertained. However, now seems like a good time to see what interest there is for this car. This car is pretty well known here and elsewhere and has been maintained and looked after with no expense spared at all. I have loved this car for nearly 9 years. I found it after a lot of searching and did a 600 mile round trip to buy and pick her up. It’s had a few changes over the years but the look now is about as perfect, in my eyes, as I can get it. Car was compression tested not that long ago as I wanted to make sure that she had many years left in her - all readings were very high and consistent. Car has had a recent full windows out, virtually bare metal, respray in Lexus Sonic Titanium (1J7) as well as having the unique and gorgeous TwinZ Kit fitted - a total one-off in the UK and Europe as this is the only car currently wearing it. This car is in superb condition throughout and has been loved and cherished during my ownership. I’ll never find another as good, that much I do know. This car has been a daily since I’ve had it and the mileage reflects that but don't let that influence you. It has been maintained and pampered like I would a child and has wanted for nothing. If it’s needed anything, it has had it even replacing parts just because it seems like a good preventative move. Please PM me with any interest or questions. I don’t want this thread to get unnecessarily messy. I’ve put a couple of pics here but have many others and can take current exterior and interior pics if needed. Model: 1996 Facelift RZ-S Twin Turbo Supra Mileage: 185,000 MOT remaining: Until November 2018 Service history: Varied - mainly specialist (Swampy) during my ownership. Car had 85,000 when I bought it Car's location: Lincoln Modifications: BPU with ProSport Boost Gauge and 1.1 Bar Restrictor Ring. Full recent respray (windows out) and repainted in Lexus Sonic Titanium (1J7). BC Racing Coilovers all round. Uprated DavidP auto gearbox fitted (May 2017) with faster, smoother gear changes - this box is a peach and makes the autobox even better. 19” Jade R alloys refurbed in Satin Black with brand new Vredestein tyres all round. 235/35/19 at the front, 275/30/19 at the rear. Full UK Brake set up (rear set up brand new, front set up 2 years old) with brand new CW Fast Road Pads all round and new OEM Toyota Discs front and rear. Unique TwinZ kit consisting of lower front bumper valance and splitter, side skirts with valances and rear arch pods. This is the only car in Europe currently wearing this kit and is therefore a one-off. Finished off with Greddy boot lip spoiler. Bottom Valance has a covering of 3M healing film for stone chip protection. Rear wiper delete and aerial delete. Front seats are Recaro Confetti seats recovered in leather by JM Imports in 2013. Double DIN Pioneer AVIV 9000BT sound system with iPhone integration with Sat Nav. You can also add a reversing camera if you want as it has that facility. Heckler LED front side light and indicator upgrade. Facelift lights front and rear. A02B Diff. Chris Wilson Side Mount Intercooler (SMIC). RSR exhaust with gorgeous sound! Toyota Celica Gen 7 steering wheel. New Callaway front mats. Toad Cat 1 Alarm/Immobiliser Private Reg P555SUP to stay with the car. Good bits: All of it - car is immaculate throughout and needs nothing - buy, drive, have fun, enjoy! Bad bits: As with nearly all Supras the stem seals puff at start up. I’ve considered sorting this for a while (and have Ferera seals ready) but have been reluctant to crack the head on such a strong engine figuring that it might create more problems than in solves so have left it. Doesn’t use oil between changes which has been done very regularly with top grade semi-synthetic oil every time. Slip Cont Off and OD Off lights have flashed at me for years now but does not affect the car at all! Many say it’s a dodgy Speed Converter but as it has no effect on the car and driving it I’ve not bothered to sort it. PRICE £16,500 ovno Please PM for contact details.
  19. Don't ask Ed, he has no idea where this lives!
  20. New BMW Z5 caught testing on track
  21. Get the stock parts fitted, drive it away, buy new BCs, sell the stock items, job done.
