  1. They are not rubbing on anything i had a good look for that yesterday + i have not heard them catching . They are just warn out on the back and due to it being lower the camber is out of spec on the back (to - ) they have warn a bit more on the inside .The front is due to the tracking being out . Ill get some new tyres on and a geom check should get all the problems sorted (fingers crossed anyway) . Is the camber adjusterable on the supra (front and rear ) ? Rich.
  2. Its need less to say i will not be driving the car till i get the tyres sorted out . The bit the gets me the most is he let me drive off in it knowing i had a 120 mile drive home on those tyres , About 20 miles into that drive the police were doing checks with the ministry in a lay bay if i would have got stop they would have had the car for the state of the tyres + points and fine . Is it just me ? if i was selling a car for £9000 i would have made sure it was road legal Anyway rant over , just need to get some tyres give it a good look over and move on . Rich.
  3. I know i should have looked for myself and as a mechanic you think i would have know better . but the lad seemed a1 and said he'd had it all checked out . there was snow everywere so i did not look ( big mistake ) i have made that call and emailed pictures. Ill have to get 4 new tyres I do all the 4 wheel geom checks for my department at work so ill get the car on there as soon as the new tyres are fittted (to see what wrong). Rich.
  4. Well my new car was not as good as i was lead to believe http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=208149 I got the car on the ramp at work today to fit the second hand nurspec r exhaust i got from another member on here and all of the tyres are bold on the side edges and i have only done 250 miles in the car im not happy . £9000 for a car with bold tyres .Some people have no throught for the new owner i drove the car 120 miles home and i have had my kids in the car with tyres that are ready to let go at any minute ,when i brought the car i was told it had been fully checked out brakes, tyres and so on, because he did not want any come back , so did that happen. now im going to have to over the hole car as i do not trust it now Rich.
  5. As soon as i sell my civic ill buy this if its still on here . Cheers for the link. Rich.
  6. Ill will have a look into that thank you for the info . Rich.
  7. I would sell on the one thats on there , as im sure someone would love it . it has got a nice sound but you cannot hear it at all inside the car . The traction control is not a problem for the min , its just if a do some track stuff i would like it off . Rich.
  8. I may take you up on that mate i would like to see what one sounds like before i buy one . Rich
  9. Yes the wheels are 19" , how much? and were would i get the facelift lights from ? Rich
  10. Here are the pictures: Let know what you think good or bad . Rich.
  11. Hello mate im in Hinckley but its only 30 mins from you . Rich.
  12. I will have a good look before i buy on thats for sure . Rich.
  13. Ill have a look into that then ,get the clocks out for a look . Rich.
  14. Ill only be using the car at the weekends if i have somewere to go in it so the neighbours will be ok . They cannot be that load anyway . Rich.
  15. Thats true but if it gets you on the track . ill only do the one this year , ill be at santa pod and places like that the rest of the time and there are no problems with exhausts there . Rich.
  16. You think it would still to load with the bung in then . Rich.
  17. I think most of those sort of exhaust come with a bung, to put in the back box . Its a VeilSide Evo Exhaust System looks really nice and its s/s its got a good sound just not every load but like you say thats down to taste. Rich.
  18. Hello there all i have posted in the new member section http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=208143 I have now got the car and im over the moon with her, the only thing is the exhaust is not load enough for me put that can be sorted . Anyone know were there is a good one for sale i have looked at the nurspec r and the hks t systems . One more question how do you get the traction control off if the wheels spin there is a green light on the dash that flash and the engine power drops which i would say is right ,but i press the off buttom and nothing no lights and traction control is still on . Its not a problem at the min but i do like to go to santa pod and i fancy a go at a drift what you brung day plus i have a track day book in april. Ill add pictures later when i have clean her as its dirty due to the 120 mile drive home down the motorway. Rich.
  19. I have promised the mrs i will not do anything to it for 12 months But we will see . i have alot of reading to do as i have always been into hondas i know them inside out but i do not have the first clue about what these engines can take on standard internals and the best mods to use but im sure ill get up to speed fast with some help from you guys . Rich.
  20. I will be doing some show with it this year so im sure you will see me and the car around . Rich.
