  1. Envys site has two different part numbers for TT and N/A so guessing they are in some way different
  2. Would be interested in it if I knew it fit a N/A? Will do some investigation...
  3. Excellent!! Couldn't have asked for a better explanation!! Thankyou very much Now to giv tia try after work tomorrow. Gonna give it another run first though just to check if it is just a glitch with it not moving for a few weeks!
  4. This was after I filled up, didn't notice it before. This is the lowest I've ever let the fuel run if that makes any difference. Light had just came on about 5 mile previous though.
  5. Yeah but just the first time I press the pedal when stationary. If I roll to a stop the revs are 800, hit the brake they go to the 12/1300 mark. Stay stationary and it drops back to 800. Hit the brake again and the revs stay at 800? Most peculiar. Like I said had no electrics but the lights on, no heaters/aircon, radio or anything? Thought I was catching my foot on the accelerator as well as the brake at first (as remote a possiblity as that could be ).
  6. Nope aircon is off... Is not even ticking over high all the time, just appears to do it for 10 seconds or so after I have braked... :S
  7. Out tonight in the Supe, aminly to fill up on fuel. Just been turning the car over in the garage the past few weeks. Went for a half hour drive around just to get fluids and stuff moving round the engine and give the car a general run out as well. When I was stopping the revs on the car were jumping up from its idle point (about 800rpm) to about 12/1300. After 10 seconds or so it would drop back down to its normal 800. Had a bit of a play and realised it was jumping up when braking and coming to a stand still. Just wondering if this is just the manual choke kicking in due to low battery or something, or if this is normal behaviour after the car has sat for a little while? In the garage when I turn it over I normally leave it on for 15 mins or so and it always seems to drop to the 800rpm idle after 5 mins or so as per usual. Just noticed this behaviour when actually using the motor?
  8. After wire brushing mine I just used some STP brake dust remover on them... works a treat
  9. SOLD Mods do with as you will....
  10. I didn't get a purple 'book' but got loads of pink coloured Toyota Technics reciepts/forms. All outling work/mileage etc, but sadly all in Japanese. Was going to get it translated before I bought but just paid for someone to give the car a once over for me instead.
  11. Just looked at the owners profile on the forum there and he is born in 65!! Harldy a youngun' in fact nearly old enough to be me dad!!
  12. After the stock airbox if it has it with clips/cover etc (don't need the actual filter).
  13. Cool Pm me over what your looking for mate
  14. Not a clue what they are worth to be honest? Is the box of an N/A and not a TT?
  15. To be honest I would be very wary of companys like Bell. They quote cheaply but often for the wrong vehicle (they don't even have a 'rz' as such on there system). Got quoted quite cheaply from them and Churchill (in essence the same company) but wasn't convinced they knew the car or modifications I was talking about. At least with Sky or Lancaster etc they insure the exact car so no probs if you have to claim
  16. Seems expensive to me... I'm 28, 6yrs NCB with a supre with declared aftermarket exhaust and induction kit, guarenteed value (cost extra £15) and mines in at £470ish fully comp with Lancaster?
  17. After a stock airbox for a 93 N/A to replace my HKS kit. After all the bits and bobs requirted to swap it out other than the actual filter Cheers Dave
  18. From me on this here thread
  19. They look awful to me mounted at the front of the mouth like that... far better drop the undertray out and mount it at the back imho Cheers for the pic fella!!
  20. 110% no have waited since I was 16 or something to be in a situation to buy one and be able to properly service and run it. I'm happy in the fact that mine is really genuine clean motor. Will be looked after properly and cared for. As mentioned in other threads though I'd hate to see them become a chav chariot... I think this would be the only thing that would make me consider selling it. The only saving factor if they did become a affordable option for them is you know they aren't going to be looked after properly and therefor be a very poor example of a Supe. The running costs (if serviced etc properly) is quite hefty compared to a lot of cars I have owned. The drop seems to have just been very sudden from what I've seen?
  21. I was looking into buying a Supra for about a year or so. Prices seem to be holding quite nicely. A lot of the Supes out there are about 10-12 year old so I though they would have pretty much depreciated as much as they could, all be it I would expect small depreciation as time goes on. However since I bought my Supe prices appear to have crashed? Paid 6k for my 93 J-spec N/a with 52k about 2-3 months ago, which appeared to be the going rate both on here and on Autotrader etc. Just wondering why there is a sudden slump in the market? Is it the old 'summer car' winter price plummet that occurs every year and then prices drift back up or am I missing something? To be honest I'm not too fussed if the car halves in value, I've wanted one for years and plan to keep it for a long time too... probably to the point it will be worth next to nothing. I bought it as I love the look etc of the car, not because I thought it would hold value (lets face it what car does!!) I did think though that because there so old that depreciation would be slowing? Not taking the sudden drop it appears to have over the last few weeks? Just wondering what everyone thinks is happening with the market to cause this? Loads of imports? Market in general?
  22. Was outside Toys r us with the other week... wife shopping... me playing my psp in the car as it should be. Look up and there flys in a chav in a corsa, smacks the side of the Audi in the parking space next to the one he has just (overly) swung into. He reverses out and shoots off. So I take down his reg and wait for the owners of the Audi while wife shops. Young couple come out with two very young kids in tow. Gave em the reg plate and my number as a witness. Would hope someone would do the same for me if someone hit my car while I wasn't there... Bad time of year for this kind of thing to happen as well... (if there is ever a good time that is!!)
  23. As above. Ordered both styles and kept the one I preffered... http://www.grille-tech.com for more details and pictures In silver (race style) to fit a 93-98 Supe... Look here for more info... Cost me about £45 Make me a sensible offer...
  24. That any good for replacing an HKS induction kit I have installed in my NA? Am debating going back to the standard air box after hearing bad things about my HKS kit...
