  1. Did you do any prep work on any of the parts or did they do all that as well?
  2. Working on this day but I'm trying to sort something out, I was on the last one and it was great fun, I'll let you know if I get anywhere.
  3. Phone Wiffbitz, talk to them I bought one ( without air con ).
  4. Cheers Andrew, I don't mind changing the turbo's/brakes/suspension, but I think I want some one else to do this job.
  5. Can anyone recommend somewhere that does a good job of under-sealing Supra's, the nearer to the Portsmouth area the better, but I am prepared to travel for a good service. Thanks.
  6. Thanks for your inputs, I feel a bit more ejumacated now.
  7. Thanks Matt, that's all good to know, exactly what mine is a daily drive/toy/DB cruising car, I like the Toyota auto's and 400 BHP is fine for me.
  8. Thanks for that, its a bit worrying that speed thing, if you didn't want to go over 130 mph then there is no problem, it does sound like MattP sorted his other problems out.
  9. My next car will more than likely be a VVTI tiptronic, and I am trying to get some information together about the Tiptronic system, like members views on the good and bad points. Also could some one explain the thing I keep reading about, this problem with hitting 130 mph and the changing of gears? can it be run in pure auto and/or button shift? is there any problem with the position of the steering wheel when wanting to change gear? Any reasonable comments will be greatly appreciated. Thanks Bob.
  10. Now that looks cool, that definitely would be a good addition to the engine bay.
  11. Thanks Ian, so long as a Uk maifold will fit a VVTI engine then I can keep the UK spares.
  12. Ok, thanks mate I'll see if anyone else knows that, you would think that it would be the same.
  13. Thanks Swampy, what about fuelling, or ecu, and o2 sensor? reason I ask I have a second set of turbo's for my UK engine and hopefully soon I am going to change my car to a VVTI, if they were not interchangeable I would have to get rid and get some J specs
  14. Can a complete set of UK turbo's including all its ancillaries and exhaust manifold, with appropriate decat be swapped onto a J spec tt? Any advice would be greatly received.
  15. What's the fancy dress going to be this time? and the Saturday night theme? may be 60s/70s retro for Saturday night. Just a few reminders.
  16. Watching this, there are a few things that I noticed, that make it a bit unique, a six speed gearbox on an Aero, it looks like a UK engine, because it has a resistor pack and a snorkel but no scoop,very nice though.

    For your budget you should be able to get a pretty good Auto tt BPU, and for about 1000/1500 extra probably a newer tiptronic ( flappy paddle) model.
