  1. Might end up without any swimmers and no tinkering if I start taking advice like this, the wife can kick pretty hard too Definitely an option worth considering, if I go down the breaking route.
  2. Just about to answer this James thanks buddy, just about to answer the damage Q Door cars are present and mint disposable income + storage x enthusiasm = Collector , this is the calculation that has caused the issue Nic, dont worry, as the Mrs has a income drain planned in the future. As for the Car, I hear what you are saying and also picked up on this recent shift in the classifieds, unfortunately for this car, the Cat C will stand out (negatively) when compared to such examples as Havard etc.. - - - Updated - - - The problem I have with charging on with the project is the Mrs, I must admit I have got a little carried away with my enthusiasm towards the Supra. Clearing space for a more focused ownership of the Supra, seems to be the best idea for the arrival of 2015. The car is a Category C, so this was always my concern with getting her back into running/driving order, as the post repair value might be effected according to history. I will be releasing this car from my ownership, which ever option I go with, as I just don't have the need for another Sup, and my life/priority's will change, as the Mrs is demanding that we start a family this year coming . The history with the car backs up the Mileage on the shell/engine, and the interior is the cleanest thing next to a brand new one, interior panels and carpets looking like they have barely seen any usage. The damage is on the driver-side (offside), with the following damaged detailed: - Wing damaged - Front Bumper broken on off-side - Headlight broken - Offside inner wing creased - Offside Chassis leg looks straight, but damaged on the underside of the leg, nothing overly exciting, - Bonnet damaged on offside - Airbox damaged from impact. - SMIC damaged Accident Occurred at low speeds so the chassis damage is minimal, I had an independent accident repair company take a look at this, they were very confident that the damage was indeed more superficial than structural, so a repair is a very real opportunity.
  3. Hi everyone, I am thinking about clearing some space at the moment and have decided to see whether there would be any interest in parts, from me breaking my 2000 VVVTi Tiptronic Sup. I have checked with the regular breakers to see if they are interested to make an offer, as I wanted to know whether to bring her back to a roadworthy state, after her accident. I have been collecting parts to replace the damaged panels, and now have 98% of the parts needed to complete the repair. So I am faced with that tough "cross roads" decision: Left: Break her for parts DECISION MADE, BREAKING!
  4. Should make for a nice improvement Gordy, both in performance and living room space

  15. Loving the look of this Sup, nice work Krimi
  16. I find my VVTi-TT6 to be alot better on the fuel than my non-VVTi TT-Auto ever was, perhaps my driving style is suited more towards the manual, or even, with age I have matured as a driver
  17. All the best with the build John, looks like your Sup has made it to safety with SRD
  18. Rad cap would be the first thing I'd try also
  19. I'm sure they would have worked on a trans from the UK before, but this will be a more documented entry to refer back to . Looking forward to the results.
  20. Good news on the box heading home . Good to know that we will have a rebuilt box from jacks running here in the UK, as I am sure in the years that will follow, more and more members will require their gearbox's refreshed.
  21. I received my module at the beginning of the week thanks, very straight forward thanks.
