  1. We should link this to the "will the prices ever increase" thread as a stark reminder that these cars have fallen into the hands of idiots...
  2. Bigger brakes were on uk specs, j spec had smaller calipers
  3. I wouldn't like to think what sort of damage metal fragments will do flying around in your cylinder
  4. I dont think prices will go up tbh, they may start to level out in a few years or so, just not the demand anymore. Suprising though as in the US the Supra is still big money. Its happened to all sorts of cars over the years, escort cosworth could have been had for sub £10k a few years ago. They seem to have picked up a bit now, but look at the sierra cosworth, they dropped to lowley prices and never recovered (ps im not talking about the 3dr).
  5. Nice remember seeing it before but its worth watching again
  6. I have a mr2 turbo rev 3 and a Supra... The mr running about 280 ish, i wouldn't really call it fast. I think an na supra wouldn't feel all that slower, just bigger and heavier. I have never been in a na supe though, although i was tearing about in some sort of lexus people carrier thing with a 2jz na auto setup and it felt ok...
  7. Is it just me or are the headlights really misty/yellow on the second pic...? If so get a bit of g3 on them to bring them back up
  8. Welcome mate, clean looking car you have
  9. Sorry guys, Deb broke her ribs q few days ago so im out
  10. Bit too far mate Will phone you tomorrow mate Cheers for the offer mate
  11. Looking good john, would like a ride as a passenger when its done if im ever near your neck of the woods
  12. As the title, bought Pudsey's bonnet, having second thoughts using a courier. Going to cost me around £120 in deisel (and 10 hour journey). Anyone need anything moving...? Will only charge small amount. I will be in a swb transit.
  13. I was taught by the best Left indicator on, pants down...
  14. Hi mate, What makes you want to upgrade the radiator...? Im running over 700bhp on the stock rad with no problems at all...
  15. Hodge Orido, because he made me spend thousands to get my car to look like his... The green beadt that races the lambo in the USA on youtube, I watched this video and knew I needed a stupidly quick Supra in my life
  16. Welcome to the club mate The car your after is pretty rare, not many come up for sale and when they do they command a premium. Any reason why it has to be uk...? (Apart from insurance)
  17. As said previously, most people think they can buy fibreglass bodykits and all parts should fit straight on... Its just not the case, ALL fibreglass parts will need at least a little bit of work on them. My TRD half carbon was from knightracer and it was perfect, even threw in some carbon end caps for free... Also used them for other bits (unrelated to bodykits) and delivery etc has been great. With my Ridox kit, all panels needed some work to get the fit as good as possible, the front wings were genuine Varis and the fit needed work. Side skirts from whifbitz needed to be blended on to get ot to fit aswell, but I understood this is what you need to do when you buy a bodykit.
  18. I have 2 mot testers I know, luckily one is a good freind. My mr2 failed on a few minor faults (steering gaitors, rear lights as id blown a fuse) and failed miserably on emissions. I spent an hour doing the jobs then it miraculously passed the day after still sat on my drive The Supra holds the record in his mot station for the worst emissions result ever, which is nice lol
  19. Why dont you swap the oem seatbelt bolts for eyelet ones, and get a harness that clips in rather than bolts, easy removal and installation...
  20. My 2 pence worth is the love comes and goes for me. Just spent a fair chunk of money doing the clutch and a few small bits on mine, not drove it since beginning of October and am missing it a bit now, as I said in a different post I was looking through the pics of when I first bought mine and then saw a few recent pics and thought there is nothing that can come close looks wise for the amount of money it is worth... But saying that 6 months ago I was totally fed up with it, wanted rid straight away to buy a cheap track car. On the gtr front I keep looking at them, I dont like the front end on them, or the cost of parts/servicing, but as a car to arse around in they do look like fun. Went in Jurgens when it was about 600 and it was imense, the grip is insane. But for a decent one with the stage 1 your looking close to £40k, for an extra £10k I could get a Lamborghini Diablo, or for the same sort of money could be in a supercharged Viper 730 bhp. Now Ive never been in either of those cars but Im sure they would put a smile on my face more. Maybe not in sheer performance but to say "I'll just go and get the Lambo" beats "I'll get the keys to the Nissan"...
