So the subframe tightening I'll have sorted by experts, but the gearbox oil change possible: http://www.supraforums.com/forum/showthread.php?t=251284

Yh agreed, but if it's minor things I can do myself I thought I'd give it a go. Anything major I'll leave to the experts. E.g gearbox oil change, I'll do myself. converter, easy to do myself tightening bolts from suspension mounting, possible to diy

Cheers for that mate, lovely bit of advice. Will definately sort out the Thor converter, just need to find one now! Thanks alot.

Lol, as I've upgraded my car.... I'm looking to upgrade my girlfriend too.

Not offended at all mate, I don't know of any supra mkiv specialists anywere near... Any ideas? Plus not to sound like a prat bit I'd rather do it myself & learn as I go along. I want to be the hands on dude. I'm not looking to sell this car. Even if I win the lotto, this is staying with me.

Thanks alot guys, much appreciated!! As for how long I've had the car: 8days or so, I don't know much about the previous history. As for the carburetor, I guess that means it's fuel injected.... So I'm very much out of my comfort zone!! What next, I have no idea... Smoke- White (I think... my gf said "babes, there's black smoke coming out of your exhaust" when I checked... No smoke... I checked next day... White smoke!! The "Thor" converter I can't find!!! Halp! eBay doesn't have it. I'm pretty confident I can change this myself if I have the part! Torque wrench??? Can't a good old normal wrench do it? If not... Anyone near by withthis fancy tool I can borrow for 10 mins?? As for prob4: I can't explainin, just feels like somethings loose. When I brake or take off it's almost like pushing back and bobbing forward from what I believe is axis... (guess)

Lol I'm just guessing mate, haven't a clue. I'm new to the 2jzgte engine scene

Ok fellas, few problems I've encountered with my supe which I'd love some advice/info to help me out and point me in the right direction. - Problem one: (my most & major concern): Black oil looking stuff all over the inside the exhaust. Luckily only sign of smoke is on start up. no smoke fumes, even when I floor it. Petrol seems to be draining like hell, I'm quite confused! /my opinion: carburator needs adjusting or cleaning\ (please point me in the right direction on guides etc to help, I've seen "carb cleener" which you supposedly mix with a full tank of petrol to clean out the carburator) - problem two: (not so fussed over) engine check flashes, code 42 my speedo goes abit wooptidoo at times so I'm assuming the "converter" is abit shit hence needs replacing. I haven't found any better ones than eBay cheepos (which look pretty identicle) - problem three (hhmmm...) gears are very stiff, particularly 3rd. You guys reckon gearbox needs oil? - Problem four: on take off and brake I can feel & hear a click almost as if something isn't sitting tightly??

? Says "every second Wednesday at Basildon honey pot"

ISn't there one tonight??

Dammit, no fancy key place then?

Same! Anyone go to the Basildon meets?

Lol check eBay they look pretty mean!! Honestly Id love to have one.... And if I had my nipple pierced would proudly wear it hanging there!!

what does a proper key look like? I believe mines an original (boring) can't Toyota make trd keys?

I've just downloaded two, will be sure to post results on the forum when I use it

My iPhones jailbroken and the downloads keep timing out will try tomorrow. We have: pow'r pocketdyno dynolicious fguage & more

Going to download a similar app for my iPhone tomorrow, lol thanks for the idea!

I'll see you guys next month, haven't had any time off work/girlfriend recently. Def next month.

I've only got 1 key for my supra, very much need & want at least one more. Been googling and searching all over I found nice trd blank keys on fleebay but after searching here and there found on forums these tend not to work. (damn they look good) anyone know of actual "shop" or something with nice "fancy" keys for cars?? Would very much love a trd key or similar! (also- random q: how can I check my cars hp output? Dyno? How??

Guys I missed this, will defo be there next month (&hopefully will not be the only one)

I have, but don't know how to upload (iPhone coz I don't have a pc)

What's happend with this thread? Any conclusion of trd keys & where to pick them up!?

Nobody I know has suffered this, personally I know 2 people using "Clenbutrx" and they cycle it 5days on 2days off untill they drop to the ideal weight then they come off it.

Ohh the things I would do to have fully com cover for under 2k
