Good to see my panels going to good use

Got the cruise control ecu from a uk spec £20 + £5 p&p

Its not complete car at the moment tooks interior out for retrim and haven't had it back and needs a respray to look half decent, I've kind of given up on it its probably not worth much as a car but parts should get me around 4k. got brand new tanabe hyper medallion exhaust never driven on, greddy 3 row fmic and hard pipes, hks ssqv, apexi induction kit and all the uk big brakes, diff etc. Engine does have 116,000 miles on it but its a good engine no problems..

Do you think I could get £1200 minus the turbos?

Will it be a problem selling a uk engine as Its slightly different on the inlet manifold I believe? Or is it best to just sell the block? do TT engines still fetch decent/ish money? will need to find a new supra first anyway but I think it will be going this way sadly

Me too but i'd be scrapping a better uk shell. Seem to be coming up quite regular stripped to bits at the moment

Yes looked a good shell but whats the point in rebuilding a rusty one.

Well I wont be using that shell rotten as you get under the sill plastics etc I don't think that one will see another owner is 'was' reg number M52 MNB in storm blue auto.. like I say already stripped down for parts another uk gone

If it all goes ahead i'll keep you updated

I bought a uk supra last year just as a track car its no minter on the body but its mechanically sound I rebuilt the engine (not the block) with all new toyota seals etc as it was a single turbo i converted back to twin (came with no turbo). I'm happy with the engine ticking over nicely but I think I want to take it out of this shell as another uk shell is available in very nice shape but its completely bare. Any advice on this? common problems when rebuilding a supra that has been stripped? subframe alignment, difficult wiring, bolts snapping that sort of thing? i'm fine taking the engine and gearbox out it wont be the first time for that, but never rebuilt a supra from nothing at all.. any advice/experience appreciated..

Yeah bought a car with D2 Coilovers, spring snapped in half when they were a year old. rust quite badly, don't seem particularly well made? IMO

Thanks for that i'll search it out and my exhaust system is finally complete

Useful I needed to know that one, If you dont have the Cat temp sensor what happens if its not even plugged in to the loom?

Will an N/a second Cat fit a jspec TT? Only reason I ask is I have a 2nd Cat from an N/a in the shed and don't fancy digging for it, especially if it doesn't fit.

1993 n/a auto, in ten years ownership Rebuilt starter motor with toyota parts cost about £15 Radiator, Coil pack that goes to distributor £45 All four shock absorbers failed, Original exhaust rotted away and thats it for ten years of motoring (and it was my daily driver)
