quick question i'm pretty certain this is the same viscosity as the BMW MTF-LT1 stuff - http://www.opieoils.co.uk/p-981-fuchs-titan-sintofluid-sae-75w-80-synthetic-manual-transmission-fluid.aspx anyone used or know if this will be fine to use with my V161?

Ok this is a bit of a long shot but i'm looking for the plastic that covers the wires on the amp that's located underneath the Recaro passenger seat, part number is 71812-14140-C1 anyone got one laying around?

this presumably has the 70mm piping? registering my interest

out of the list Ferrari 458 Italia, however my supercar of choice would be Lamborghini Murcielago LP670-4 SV mmmmm [ATTACH=CONFIG]135253[/ATTACH]

forgive my ignorance but will these fit the 2JZ-GE?

heard good things about Meguiars APC mate

Are these new bud?

that manifold is not designed for the stock TT's so unless you are going single then it's pointless and even if you are going single then I wouldn't buy a japspeed manifold.....well not unless you like cracks

Spotted a stock looking UK supra on the A422 heading towards Buckingham, didn't get chance to get a look at the plate as I was carrying a fair bit of speed

[ATTACH=CONFIG]134720[/ATTACH] and one of me and my two cars that I took to Le Mans last week [ATTACH=CONFIG]134721[/ATTACH]

currently talking to Jason about the car

exactly seems my luck has changed somewhat too as I may have found one but not letting out too much just yet just incase I go away to Le Mans tonight so won't be back till next Tuesday which is going to kill me lol.

i think it was more a case of the seller really didn't know as he didn't seem to clued up on cars let alone supra's, here is the supra in question CLICK ME it's a shame as it had everything going for it and if it were just exterior bits that needed doing I probably would have still got it and just knocked the guy down on the price but after everything I found it all starts to add up and smack of a bad one. I'm hoping Jurgen comes up trumps but i'm also keeping my eye out everywhere for either a SZ-R or possibly a TT6 if the right one came along

Well after about 7 months of searching for the particular model I wanted SZ-R 6spd I found ONE and it was in the colour I always wanted RSP, excellent or so I thought...... I performed the usual HPI checks and everything came back clear and not wanting to waste any time as I know how rare these are I decided to book a viewing for Sunday. I arrived and at first glance the car looked clean as per the pictures, I then started speaking with the guy and along with my friend we started to really look at the car and well this is what we found : The Good : - Engine pulled well, free of smoke/started first time - Gearbox was solid and all gears flowed smoothly - All electrics worked fine The Bad : - bodywork in terrible condition (heavily scratched and dented) - car has had a front end collision which was apparent from the following - n/s front wing didn't line up with headlight - n/s headlight was old and peeling, o/s had recently been replaced - there was overspray on the horns again clarifying the front end shunt and also indicating a shoddy prep work as the bumper was sprayed on the car - o/s rear quarter had been poorly blown in (paint was hazy and significant orange peel going on) - rear bumper was not original - fog light had been poorly fitted (a section the size of a import number plate had been cut out to fit the fog light and then bodywork and number plate were one piece that I could pull off and get my hand in behind) - engine bay rails were not lining up - radiator had been recently replaced - car had been jacked up on the sill bending it and nowhere near the jacking point - sills had become extremely rusty and was flaking at the touch - rear chassis rail was rotting through and you could push your finger through it on the o/s - very little paperwork and next to no documents on the import or mileage when it was imported + converted into miles (so true mileage isn't known) - severe wheel wobble above 40mph (this could just be wheel balancing however with the other signs of a accident I'm not taking that risk) - engine wiring loom had been completely butchered - both recaro seat bolsters had dropped All this started to add up and I roughly calculated you would need to spend around £2k to get everything sorted (this presuming the wheel wobble is nothing more serious). As much as I really want a Supra the last thing I wanted to do was get a bad one and be put off them for life, so I declined giving back the keys and then proceeded to drown my sorrows in KFC at the first service station on the M1 lol. So i'm back to searching again and looking at the possibility of importing one from Japan with help from Jurgen which may cost a little more but will be a genuinely mint one, so all in all a 7 hour round trip wasted and a lot of fuel Thus concludes my little weekend tale.....the search continues /rant over

No problems I would rather people be aware of it than be like me and drive 3 and a half hours there to see a dog and be disappointed lol and as it's my first supra the last thing I want to do is buy one with problems and then find more once i've got it on ramps and then end up selling it making a loss and be put off for life....guess sometimes you just have to listen to your head and not your heart...does suck though

Wow that is stunning although I want the 6 spd box as I don't think the tiptronic will cope with my project goal Hi Jurgen, I'll drop you a email to save cluttering this thread and we will talk and see if we can come up with something thanks for your help Yep that was the one, wheels are horrible imo but that's a easy fix unfortunately i can't say the same about the rest of the car (despite the advert looking clean) The Good : - Engine pulled well - Gearbox was solid and all gears flowed smoothly The Bad : - bodywork in terrible condition (heavily scratched and dented) - car has had a front end collision which was apparent - n/s front wing didn't line up with headlight - n/s headlight was old and peeling, o/s had recently been replaced - there was overspray on the horns again clarifying the front end shunt and also indicating a shoddy respray as the bumper was sprayed on the car - o/s rear quarter had been poorly blown in (paint was hazy and significant orange peel going on) - rear bumper was not original - fog light had been poorly fitted (a section the size of a import number plate had been cut out to fit the fog light and then bodywork and number plate were one piece that I could pull off and get my hand in behind) - engine bay rails were not lining up - radiator had been recently replaced - car had been jacked up on the sill bending it and nowhere near the jacking point - sills had become extremely rusty and was flaking at the touch - rear chassis rail was rotting through and you could push your finger through it on the o/s - very little paperwork and next to no documents on the import or mileage when it was imported + converted into miles (so true mileage isn't known) - severe wheel wobble above 40mph (this could just be wheel balancing however with the other signs of a accident I'm not taking that risk) - engine wiring loom had been completely butchered - both recaro seat bolsters had dropped All this starts to add up but I roughly calculated you would need to spend around £2k to get everything sorted (this presuming the wheel wobble is nothing more serious), personally if it were me i'd break the car and sell the gearbox + engine.

exactly mate as this is my first supra i don't want to buy a dog and be put off for life so better to walk away than to get stung, there was also very little documents about the car and only 1 about import which wasn't helpful either. Minor bodywork points I could deal with but something major like it had obviously had a front end shunt at some point as the radiator had been changed, coupled with the chassis rail being rusted, you add everything up and it's just not worth the risk Will keep my eyes peeled though and will see if Jurgen has anything coming in that he knows of too

yeh been to view a RSP one today which turned out to be a dog, will put a post in the chat section to let people know about it though. I would have had to put about £2k into it to bring it up to scratch, bodywork was in poor condition, heavy wheel wobble above 40mph, someone had jacked the car up on the sill bending it and the chassis rail was rusted through at the rear, all in all just a no go. But thanks for keeping a eye out

Hi guys, i'm looking for a SZ-R supra which must have the 6speed box. Basics behind the project will be to run the car as a n/a and buy a GTE lump and strip and rebuild it myself with uprated goodies along the way (which will hopefully reduce the amount of time the car is off the road) before dropping the GTE lump into the car. I appreciate SZ-R's with the 6spd are rare as hens teeth but if anyone has one coming up for sale or spots one let me know Thanks guys Dan

i'm in a similar situation however i'm going to be looking at getting a SZ-R 6spd and then working around that buying a GTE engine then rebuilding and dropping it in

awesome stuff J, any high res copies of the pics?

Could be game for this, going to view a new supra at on sunday so would be good to bring it down should i buy it , that said i'm going away Weds-Weds next week for Le Mans, when were you thinking?

amazing work once again Christian
