Every 11 year old has a ramp to play with . They deserve a Supra to.

Its a Zunsport front and two sides grille. You can get them in black or chrome finish. Anyone buying these grilles should trawl for discount codes as they usually have 25% off listed somewhere.

I have a Supra and a Mustang, both old cars now but the Mustang wins in the age race being a 1965 fastback old banger. If you are thinking of getting a full respray and blue is your thing then a forum member did his Lexus blue which is darker then the Toyota Supra blue and looks good. You will want to get new seals for the front and rear screens and Extreme sells those. While you are at it you might want to think about fitting new seals to the other parts, doors and tailgate while you can still get those. They aren't cheap but with anything Supra there is one certainty and that is they will only get more expensive with time and one day they will be discontinued and will then get really expensive. Jake is the owner of the Lexus blue car in the NEC classic car show pic attached, I'm sure he can give you the paint code if you want it. Enjoy the stable of cars.

If you are changing out the door glass don't throw your old glass out as they are discontinued and removing scratches is an easy fix. A lot easier than trying to find the windows for a Supra. There are plenty of videos online on how to sort deep scratches, the main thing is to keep the glass temperature below 60C when working out scratches is to avoid the risk of thermal expansion stress and fracture. I worked on one of my cars rear screen and its not a ball ache. I bought all the materials needed off eBay from pads to cerium oxide powder.

If you are ditching a TT airbox to accommodate the plumbing then you would go a long way to recouping your costs. Bags first dibs.

There is a company in the USA listing the part as available. Probably best confirming that is the case as they tend to be resellers more than stockists. [email protected]

This is where a 3D scanner and printer is going to increasingly come in handy. If you can gain access to a used one then there are companies that offer that service online that may well not be aware of Supra inflation.

It might be worthwhile doing a relative comparison when deciding what to do, a new intercooler from Toyota is around £1,400.

For the matter of waiting 8 weeks you may as well go for a SMIC rather than go to the effort of fitting a frontal unit. My very original intercooler fins were all corroded to powder after 15 years and I really did notice quite a difference in pickup with the replacement intercooler. How much of that improvement was down to better air flow and how much was down to not cooling through aluminium oxide fins I wouldn't know. It was one of those purchases you can class as a good investment with the added bonus that it is a straight swap.

Head to a breaker for those and you'd need to state green or blue tint. They come up on eBay occasionally for nasty money. Blue tint ones are listed at the moment for not obscene money.

JZA80 Differential Info!

There is some information online suggesting that the differential ratios vary for the Supra diff depending on the market they were destined to serve. So the European spec is apparently close to the ratio you are after. Why not confirm that and then buy a Euro spec ring and gear set or look for the entire unit and recoup most of the cost by then selling your own? I took one of my cars from 3.0 to 3.55 and I'm OK with it but not ecstatic. Its faster from standing for sure but I have knocked almost 20% off the top speed and those extra 20% revs at any speed can get a bit intrusive noise wise and obviously needing to work up through the gears faster than you would have on a standard diff. I only do town or A road driving in that car so fast road setup is fine, its a noisy beast on faster duel carriageway cruising though.

We had all better buy shares in Keron enterprises in that case, the aftermarket parts bin will be filled to overflowing.

There has been recent activity by traders or sellers claiming to just enquire while actually seeking to promote their car so be aware of that before taking your enquiry to far. Those wishing to sell on the forum are encouraged to join and then they can advertise to their hearts content in the sales section.

Save weight? Never heard that reason before to ditch HID bulbs. Are you sure it's not because they are an MOT failure? That's why I ditched mine.

Low mileage - tick. FSH - tick. UK model - tick. TT6 - double tick. When you suggest the interior is a bit shabby that could detract from the overall experience but the damage to resale appeal depends if you are talking cracked dash, painted dash panels, ripped leather on the steering wheel or just some dirt and age marks on the beige leather seats and carpets. Seats can always be sorted and easily but bastardised or knackered dash panels are more problematic. If its a VIN matching car then in top condition it'd be comfortably over £40k. In really shitty condition no less than £30k. I'd offer £30k but I'd be looking to flip it. Anyone looking to buy should have high 30's to low 40's in mind.

Its a discontinued item but showing available as a new item here.

Ah, right. So no point anyone posting up in your thread then. Just PM you and they will be advised if they are successful and ignored if they aren't. Sounds like the makings of a proper Dutch Auction to me.

Some of us were in early to just enjoy the cars when they were new. My loss excluding all the £thousands spent on it is -10%. What a bummer, with only 23 years of trouble free motoring to show for it.

i see the clock I pitched in for is now off list. You never responded to my PM sent to you on Saturday and viewed by you on Saturday which is a bit rude. Actually, more than a bit rude.

I've only ever seen or used spray contact adhesive with foam. It covers fast and quick then tack dries on the surface without being absorbed into the foam structure. Denser foam is usually for sound reduction so maybe you'll find that the denser foam pads are the ones closest to the fan or air outlet? You see on places like eBay a lot of options for dense foams with PC's presumably to act as sound insulation on towers. You could always ask the foam density with suppliers to see what ranges are out there readily available. You'll probably have to teach most of the sellers how to measure density but that would be one approach you could use.

Welcome to the World of Classic motoring. Sheet metal, block metal a lathe and plastic 3D printer. It delivers a good, I've achieved something, feeling when you make a part from a block, retrim something or fashion a part from bits and pieces. Opens up a whole new World of enjoyment, and pain.

I've replaced lots of foam in classic car refurb of heater boxes. There are lots of ads on eBay for the kind of foam that'll sort out your needs. All you needs is a pair of scissors or craft knife and some contact adhesive spray. Hopefully the old stuff is old enough to just peel off without leaving adhesive blobs behind that are a pain but a bit of heat usually softens those up. I had such fun replacing all the foam on my Mustang heater when I changed the core. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3-x-A4-size-medium-density-sticky-foam-car-heaters-draughts-vibration-DIY-crafts/202699821088?hash=item2f31d9d020:g:CSEAAOSw7Mtc-Nhn https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Master-Space-Heater-Input-Foam-Genuine-Filters-Diesel-Compressor-Paraffin/324347846864?hash=item4b84a360d0:g:sakAAOSwHVVflWfw

I'm not certain they will be coming back. Denso say its a case of 'no ETA' for fresh stock and other sites say its now discontinued. PS - even Jap sites are now listing the condenser as discontinued so its looking increasingly like its another part only available as a recycled or NOS part. Or a bit of JB Weld to sort things out.
