  1. Not too fussed on the condition as I plan to modify it - just bought a 5 digit numberplate and want to make it fit better

    So much hate

    I loved my (manual) NA, really nice drive and much cheaper to run than my TT! Outsiders just want to hear/see it's a 1000bhp monster thanks to YouTube and The F&F
  3. Ok, will give it a go for sure. Any advice for someone who has never done it before?
  4. My power steering has suddenly started making a grinding noise, I've had it before on another car (but worse) when a hose split and drained the fluid. So I checked the fluid and the levels appear fine although the fluid is a dark colour. Could it be that the fluid is old and needs flushing or is it more likely my pump is knackered? I've had a look at this page on here and read the guide to flush the system which I'll try this weekend
  5. As Scooter said, other sites that sell cars. I'd exercise caution if looking at cars in High Wycombe, Sutton and Keighley (places in the UK), there are some traders there that we cant talk about on this forum because of the threat of legal action (which should tell you all you need to know!)

    Non turbo

    Shell V Power? What's your budget as that would help gauge what mods are out there for you? I noticed a difference in performance when I stripped the interior of my NA if you're after cheap gains
  7. Given their age you have to expect a few issues, I've had to replace a few things on mine as they have perished with age, seals etc - the cost of these soon mount up! If you do buy from the UK be sure to post up on here first if it is away from the forum as there are a few dodgy areas to buy Supras from - personally I wouldn't buy away from the forum for a number of reasons Or clocked!
  8. How much of this Supe do you have left, do you have the (jspec) front number plate holder?
  9. Given the exchange rate, you'd be better off shopping in the UK Possibly better examples with traceable history
  10. But how much will modified be over stock? There's no way I'd be able to keep mine stock and it will end up as a manual as soon as I can slip enough money past the missus
  11. ManwithSupra's Supra would be more worthy of that price tag
  12. Well kept examples have gone for £14-15k recently, of course pictures will help Be careful if you remove the wrap, I had to get a full respray after removing mine as I found cuts/scores in the paint and removed the lacquer/paint in places! (put your price up so it increases the value of other aeros)
  13. Friday bump, before going on 'Trader on Sunday
  14. Thought I would stick this up here to see if anyone is interested before making proper ads on Autotrader/Pistonheads at the weekend My wife is selling her Punto Evo as we’ve upgraded to a slightly bigger family car (in the next bay ). The Punto would make a good car for a new driver as it is cheap to run It would also work well as a workhorse or something to load miles on to as it is low milage for its age and never gave us any concerns - it has all the usual maintenance receipts, MOT’s etc Apparently a breath taking 77bhp! 5 Speed Manual Approx 48,000 miles Adjustable Sensitivity Power Steering Radio CD Player with Controls on steering wheel Trip Computer Electric Front Windows & Door Mirrors Central Door Locking Cloth seats 5 Door Bad points Last MOT had an advisory on a breather hose which I believe may be causing a slight hesitation sometimes when accelerating harder than normal. This is not frequent and it has not been an issue A few car park dings, nothing major To be fair, the bad points are mainly personal preference for me… Not many of these about to compare the prices, but this will be the cheapest on either site to ensure a quick sale. I will get some more pictures after a clean at the weekend It will be advertised for £2600, happy to sell to a member for £2300. Reply on here or drop me a PM if interested, car is located near Kingston [ATTACH=CONFIG]221544[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]221545[/ATTACH]
  15. He's local but not on here and had it for years (10+), it was bought from a member off here though - surprised he's not been mentioned on here before as he's always driven like that
  16. Would obviously need more info in to any mods and maintenance etc, but the last couple have been advertised for around £15k
  17. Seeing as they've come up in another post, avoid cars in Keighley too! I would check that quote is for an import Supra and not a UK spec which is cheaper to insure. Unless it's a classic or restrictive policy £650 seems a little cheap for a 24 y/o, mine is only a little cheaper than that at 32 with 10+ years NCB
  18. Cars in Keighley are as good as the cars in High Wycombe Tamon Design, more pics of the kit here I love the spoiler
  19. They also look different too, I had the turbo version on my NA and TT so I can confirm it fits both engines. I assume the NA version makes the exhaust note a little quieter Turbo NA As it goes, I have the turbo version with bung that I need to clean up and sell if anyone is interested in it?
  20. 1A1 - rare Aerotop - rare 1A1 Aerotop - very rare Definitely not a rare car
  21. This video now makes me unsure if I'll go for a shine or matte effect on mine, was an easy matte before
  22. I should have searched first...! Are you selling that separately as I bought the four rings from this thread and just need those to complete the set
  23. No worries, I'm going to get it cleaned up and sorted soon if you're still looking by the time it's done
