Hey mate - just back from our Wed night Team Valley meet, would have been good to see you there as the car in your avatar looks lovely! There were just 3 supras tonight and a few other lads turned up in their daily drivers for the chat. So not exactly a massive group to be nervous about
Although I'm obviously biased, we're all a canny bunch and there's not a chav amongst us lol. Keep an eye on this thread for updates on whether we're meeting next Wednesday:

With regards to parts, for stuff like brake discs I'd suggest sticking with OEM discs from Toyota. Either get the garage to buy them or go to your local Toyota Parts dept and barter for a bit of Owners Club discount! Timing belt could be bought from them too or you could get an aftermarket one made by somebody like Gates, which you'll find either online or one of the traders on here. Oil can be had from anywhere really as long you're using the right stuff - have a look here for details of the correct fluids etc. http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?56684-FAQ-Oil-Fluid-Interval-Capacity-Steering-Brake-Coolant-Diff-Engine
Whereabouts are you from in Tyne and Wear?
