  1. Could one of the uber helpful peeps running the Toyota EPC post up some pics of the undertrays and wheel arch liners for the Supra. I'm missing most of the undertrays and a couple of my wheel arch liners have seen better days so I thought it would be a good time to get them sorted before the road get caked in crap. P.S. If anyone has a spare Active Spoiler undertray I have cash to exchange for it
  2. Thanks for the suggestions guys, will give the white spirit and polish a blast since I have it all to hand. Cheers Johnny
  3. After a bit of advice, I recently got my car's colour changed from red to black but on the exhaust there is some red overspray from whatever monkey did an accident repair on the car. I really like the backbox on the car so was wanting to keep it. I was wondering what the best way to remove the red overspray would be. I was thinking some very fine wet & dry paper and rub it down but thought some of you may have some better suggestions. Here's a piccy to show the problem area: http://www.jwwebdev.co.uk/Supra/Respray/17.jpg Cheers Johnny
  4. Does anyone have an active spoiler undertray kicking about? I'm desperately needing to get hold of one. Cheers! Johnny

    14.5mpg

    Don't agree with that at all. If someone is getting 8mpg in a car that can do 25 mpg then something isn't working correctly. And if it is for the sake of a £80 02 sensor that will pay for itself in no time then it's definitly worth checking wouldn't you say.
  7. If it idles OK might be worth running it for a bit to get the heat up in the engine bay and evaporate a lot of the moisture in there.

  9. Is it just Toyota Europe? Might be worth having a word with the pimp to see if he can source one.
  10. Almost, these ones are Dare Hiro's I think Axis went bust and Dare bought that moulds. They are pretty much identical expect the Axis ones had that name stamped into one of the spokes, which looked pretty nice. Thanks again for the kind comments guys makes the expense and effort worth it
  11. I had a lot of extra work that needed done like the panel alignment and also sorting out a lot of half assed work that was done on a previous repair so that was quite time consuming for them. I think if you were going in with a fairly good conditioned Supra and just wanted the colour change probably be looking at about £1400 ish.

    Stolen Supra

    Brilliant news bud! Hope they get the twats that nicked it.
  13. Thanks for the great comments guys, very much appreciated. Edited the post to add credits to it. CRC Bodyworks in Fife did all the paintwork and panel alignments etc.
  14. Well it's taken a while but I've finally got my previously accident damaged Supra looking the way I want A bit of history to the car, I bought it back in January. It was accident damaged and couldn't pass an MOT so I fancied it as a bit of a project to get it back looking and driving the way Supra's should. I got it road legal and through an MOT in March but it was still looking a bit sorry for itself. It was about 5 different shades of red varying from pink through to burgundy. So I saved up for a full respray to get it done in Audi RS4 brilliant black. She went into the bodyshop just over a month ago to get the full respray, velside skirts removed and OEM ones fitted, arches rolled (as the new wheels were catching slightly), doors delocked (some ned had all ready taken care of one side). I picked her up last week and I'm amazed with the transformation. Only down side was that I wanted an active spolier fitted but had a few problems getting it on. Will give it another bash in the next few weeks. Also before anyone mentions it i've got a set of clear indicators in the garage ready to go on CREDITS: CRC Bodyworks (Leven Fife): For a superb job painting the car and also sorting out the alignments of the damaged panel. Car.mad.stylings: Got my OEM skirts (copies) from them for £170. Great to deal with and the bodyshop also said that they were the best fitting fibreglass skirts they've ever dealt with. It's high praise indeed considering that they make a lot of fibreglass kit components themselves.

  15. I had a similar problem on my MR2 turbo turned out to be a blown EFI fuse. Worth a quick check before trying anything more time consuming.

    Supra Pics

    Wheelmania pacifics apparently. Think it's the same wheels that are on this beaut: http://www.japperformancecars.co.uk/supra-tc-black.htm
  18. Got the car in for a full respray at the moment. I bought it accident damaged and have been doing it up since the start of the year and this is the final step. Sooooo exited to see what the final result is. It used to be a fairly bogging shade of red and had been very poorly repaired and painted after the accident so I though I might as well change the colour while I'm at it. It's getting done in Audi RS4 gloss black Anyways my mate works just next to the bodyshop and snapped this today on his camera phone. Still got to be flattened etc but you get the general idea. I'll post a heap of pics up when it's fully done, should hopefully get it back sometime next week.
  19. Deal! Will PM you with the details.
  20. Hi Supra pilot, I bought it off a member on here a while back but can't find the thread. It certainly doesn't looks like it's been used but can't confirm 100%. Paypal is my preferred payment method. Cheers Johnny
  21. Mint condition Fluidyne Transmission Cooler, not been fitted to car. Looking for £35 for it. Johnny
  22. Did anyone catch the silver supra crashing into a motorway central reservation at the start of the show while trying what looked like an idiotic overtaking maneuver? Hope it wasn't anyone on here.
