Hi guy's, my mate was looking at a supra for sale around his area and when he had a look underneath he said the chassis (runs down each side of the car) had a dent in it half way down the car. Is this something to worry about? Is any chassis damge regarded as 'write off' if you like or is it only a problem if it affects the car (like the chassis being twisted). He said the best description he could give was that it looked like someone had jacked the car up by the chassis and that the jack had left a dint about the size of a jack head on the bottom of the chassis leg. He said that the owner had never had a problem with the car at all and it drives fine. What do you think?

you have a PM Gaz

Hi guy's, Have any of you lot in the north east area had your supra re-sprayed? If so where? and were you happy with the job? Also if you don’t mind me asking how much did it cost? I’m asking because my car could do with a re-spray and I've been thinking of doing it for a while but what just tipped the balance was some dip shit just put a nice big dent in my rear wing with a nice paint chip to top it off These people should be taken away and tortured till they die. . . slowly (harsh but fair). Anyway, is it cheaper to have the car re-sprayed in the same colour or does it not make any difference? If it doesn’t matter I think I’ll change the colour Thanks for any advice.

Pm

Does the launch control work with auto's?

Hi there, I was driving around while working and seen a silver supra parked in a drive reg L7** KPY in newbiggin hall in newcastle at about 4pm today. It was standard, silver and had the standard black alloys. Anyone on here?

So is there definatly another meet this sunday? Just so I can keep the day spare. Also what time would you guy's be looking at meeting up 12-1pm ish again. . . .

Nice car Iv always fancied one of those, infact I was going to buy one before I got the supra but just couldnt get the big cheesy grin off my face after I drove it so I had to buy. The only thing I didnt do was test drive the GT4 but I imagine they would be quite good. If I could aford it I would have one aswel but I'm not that well off and yours does look like a very clean example, good luck with the sale.

Sounds abit like John Smith blended with a bit of the milky bar kid there. Anyway, after the bad comment. . . . Mr T's advice helped me sort a problem I had with the second turbo coming on intermitantly and after testing the vsv's it turned out my wategate vsv was gooshed. £33 later and an hour of my time and bingo, problem sorted It could have been an expensive fix at a garge to diagnose and replace the vsv with a new one. So Mr T's advice should work for you also. Good Luck

lol I thought I would ask as it's only £10 a litre. All the recommended stuff is more than double that, a bargain if it's decent stuff

Hi guy,s, does anyone on here use halfords DOT 5.1 brake fluid in there supra? How do you find it?

Whats the benefit of running two? Do you use one to control each turbo?

that looks like a good place to have a meet I'm off this sunday again and dont fancy the lake run so I would be up for another local meet up.

lol, so what is considered to be the norm for a TT auto

32mpg how did you manage that? I think I might have too put my right foot on a diet.

The worst I've had is 16mpg (town driving) and the best is 22mpg mostly on the motoway.

If you have a multimeter you can remove the vsv's and test them to see if they work. The IACV is very easy to get to aswell. Here'a a link to to a page of how to test them, its quite simple to do. http://www.max-boost.co.uk/max-boost/supra/turbo.htm Scroll right to the bottom of the page and under 'Here is Mr T's way to test the VSVs' just click on the links labelled EBV EGCV IACV and WGV. Hope that helps And just incase you didnt know here's a link back to Ian's guide http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=35926 and the first pic (no7) shows the location of the IACV

I think there is quite a difference between the N/A and TT to be honest and it sounds like your a man that likes his BHP otherwise you wouldnt be considering a TT. Both in standard trim the TT is obviously going to be a faster car, it has about 100bhp more but the advantage of the TT is that BPU will see you close to the 400bhp mark for roughly £1300 (less if you get second hand parts) thats nearly twice the power of the N/A. Also if you are into quick cars then remember that there are plenty small hatches out there with about 200bhp, Civic type R, Clio, celica's, integra's etc that a N/A would probably be matched with. When I went to look at a supra I took a N/A for a drive and then the TT and after the drive in the TT there was no way I could buy a N/A you just get addicted to the power and then when you get used to it and you want more there's always BPU but the N/A cant really be modded power wise unless you slap a turbo on it, which aint cheap.

Me and my fiance both like the auto box in the supra aswell I used to work in halfrauds (bow head in shame) and have driven a good number of cars and all auto's I drove felt horrible and I thought I would never ever have one but after I took my GZ for a spin I was hooked, I was amazed at how quick the box reacts and although it only has 4 gears (including OD) you would never think it, as it picks up speed so quick and still has a good top end. Some other good points are that you can eat and drink while driving as you have a free left hand (or you can fondle the missus if your so inclined to do so) Like to see you manual boys do that while driving round town. Also if you bugger the auto box you can pick one up for £300 or so, bargain.

Hi guy's, a couple questions on manual boost controllers really. How do you guys with these find they work on the supra? Are they a pain when the temps start getting lower in the winter (do you have to keep changing the setting)? And what about the in-car manual boost controllers. . . I take it they give you abit more controll as they are in the car but do you get the sound of releasing air then inside the car?

I have one of these and love the noise it makes. Very good price aswell especially seen as it looks brand new. Good luck with the sale

Is that what time people are planning on being at the hartside cafe? What time are people leaving from the newcastle are if anyone's going?
