I have a knock from the frot of mine when it's cold, all the bushes are fine all bearings and ball joints are fine, the subframe bolts are all ok, so my garage has put it down to noisy shocks.

I'd defo be up for these if they're a reasonable price.

Saw it at JAE last year and bodywork wise seemed to be pretty well done.

Did a bit of work on 'tarting' up the engine bay this week, smoothed the cambelt covers And I then gave the bay a good scrub ready for JAE, un-clipped the looms so I could clean underneath them, only issue I've come across now is the empty bolt holes are a little rusty... Also my cam covers are corroding so I'm considering either polishing them or painting them... What do we think? If paint, silver? Gun metal? Black? Might do the inlet manifold too.

Well the supra let me down for the first time last week, (2 an a half years of ownership isn't bad I guess!) the starter motor just gave up at half 1 in the morning So I bought a rebuild kit (for £13.50 delivered! ) So after a bit of swearing i got it out of the car and on the bench and started stripping it down. The old plunger was ok, but as I had a new one in the kit it made sense to change it... New vs old Contacts out Check out the step on the old contact! No wonder it refused to start! Rebuilt ready to go! Refitting it was a little easier until I realised the axel stands had sunk into the tarmac and the car was now about an inch lower than before :S And I also decided to give the brakes a once over too, all good so I repainted the calipers as the paint had seen better days Here's how they looked, so I masked up the supra logo and after a quick clean they were ready for paint. Quick coat of silver Some vauxhall Arden blue and lacquer Then viola! Also redoing my engine plastics very soon. took some fancy pics last night too Just for fun ^^, Hope you like

I'll be there in the supe, ill be on the jdm-register stand though! Everyones more than welcome to come over and say hello!

I have a Chris Wilson first decat on my n/a and I thought it made a nice difference, definitely a lot 'free-er' top end. Only downside is the extra noise, it's radically louder with my nur spec. I have a k&n filter on mine and although it's not as torquey as the stock air box it sounds great at high revs and seems to pull harder at high revs too.

My other half won't drive it, because she's too afraid of damaging it... Initially she encouraged me to sell it so I could get an integra ( I telly wanted one at the time) but ever since I kept it and got a daily the only thing she moans about it the lack of cup holder! I personally think she loves being seen in it round town!

Oh dear....

Brilliant! Many thanks!

Noticed it a few times now, I just get a 'tick' when I turn the key as if the battery was flat but it's not... I normally set the alarm and then de-alarm it and try again, which it normally works. However anyone suspecting the alarm, the immobiliser bypasses the starter completely, so if it was cutting in again it wouldn't try to engage at all. Worth checking te earth for it or is it common for them to fail? Mines done about 110k if that makes a difference?

I fitted a new pair of Bosch ones in mine, and it made very little difference.

Yeah the fog light caps are fitted, however looking at it, they don't seem to be a tight fit! Awesome, I'll look into that! Cheers!

I'm usually against car covers because of moisture issues, but I'm fed up with the next door neighbours tree. I believe it's a willow, (but I'm no expert!) basically it sheds constantly, all year round and the supe is covered in its leaves and crap, which stains the paintwork (040 white) but I recently had the bonnet resprayed and where I've left it about a week the paintwork has leave shaped indentations in the paint now. I'm so fed up with it that I need to invest in a cover. What do you guys recommend? Also I've heard horror stories of covers flapping in the wind and wearing through the paint, is this something that I need to be concerned about? Or is it just a myth?

I face lifted my pre-facelift lights about a year ago, and one fogged up so about 6 months ago I decided to have another go, (it turned out that the one that was foggy had about a inch of water in the bottom of the light) and this time made sure I did a good job of sealing it up, however after this heavy rain we've had recently its fogged up again, and apon closer inspection it has water in te bottom of the light again. It's quite clear that I need new ones sooner or later, but Im wondering in the mean time if it'd be worth while drilling a little drain hole? Or is this likely to make it worse? Any one tried this before?

Just noticed you're sig... Hypothetically, how much would such and item cost me??

:O Where do I get one of these wheel centres!!??

I love my n/a, I drive for a living, so I have to be a good boy on the roads so there is no point in me having a big bhp monster as I don't track it. Robust simple mechanicals mean there's little to worry about, great looks (obviously), great sounds, lovely interior, great driving image, great handling, and reasonably cheap to maintain. Other than the lack of power I believe there's little to dislike. We had a Porsche 944 n/a in the family a few years back and the supra is quicker, better looking, cheaper to run, cheaper to repair and cheaper to maintain... Grated the 944 was marginally better handling, but side by side the supra beats it hands down, plus you don't have to use lead additives. Just my 2p.

Many thanks to noz for these, I think they look great with my polished bezel rings Before with the surround fitted Mid fitting Now I drilled a dot in one so I know where the heat level is!

I ran my n/a as a daily for 18months, and I was averaging 18-23mpg... As a daily and doing 300miles a week it crippled me financially. So now I have a proper daily driver and have the supra for weekends. It makes me sad that I can't drive it all the time but it's not just fuel to think about... Mine loves eating those 265/35zr18's out the back, it's not like they're cheap! I definitely appreciate it much more now too, even as a n/a it feels soo quick compared to my daily!

My 95 n/a is currently on an indicated 172k But I believe it was converted to miles at 110km Someone work that out please? I'm lazy

I somehow think I got the wrong idea about this thread... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vxF5sgDfhbE&feature=youtube_gdata_player Sorry, couldn't resist!

Are the spats oem style? Also have they been fitted before?

Are they oem spats or fibreglass?
