  1. Well I've seen the builders, spoken to the company owner and the offending plant operator. I recorded the whole conversation and it was enlightening. The owner said he heard a noise that "wasn't right" and that the plant operator just carried on working as if nothing had happened (probably hoping he'd gotten away with it) and when he went over and asked him if he had hit the car he said "yeah I think so". So something didn't fall on it, he hit it with the digger! But it was only a nick apparently. To cut a long story short, I have an admittance of liability from the company owner and the guy who did it recorded. The guy is going to get his "bodywork guy" to come and have a look and see if it's reparable, which I don't really think it is considering there are big hairline cracks that you can't see in the photos, one of which runs all the way to the front of the panel from the damage. If it's repairble then he's going to foot the bill. If not, then his or the companies insurance will foot the cost as with the replacement panel (that only come in pairs) plus paint, plus a bonnet and paint, plus reblending it in to the skirts is a bill of around £4500 total. The main thing is I have admittance on recording, and a promise of repair or insurance to cover it. Oh and the guy has apparently owned a couple of Supras and it's alright because they are only worth about £3000 anyway according to him which made me chuckle a little. What a douche!
  2. I'm pretty sure there is one in the passenger footwell.
  3. So....I'm rather (many obscenities) off!!!! The Supra is currently parked on my estate just off the road under a cover. There is a Lidl being built next to where the Supra is parked. Next to the Supra is an 8ft wooden fence surrounding the site. So, today while I was at work they have removed the fence and been digging (with a JCB or similar). When I got home from work I noticed a rather large lump of hardened dirt lying next to the rear of the skirt of the Supra. Alarm bells started ringing. Upon getting to the Supra I noticed a rip in the cover. Louder bells. I removed the cover, and this is what I found: As far as I am aware this is the only Supra in the UK with these front wings, and the only place I have ever found them for sale is the States, at over £3500 shipped!!!! Also, the bonnet is dented and chipped. The Supra is not parked on their land. There was no notification or request for vehicles to be moved. Where do I stand here? I'm going to see the foreman when I finish work tomorrow and try and find out what happened, and why someone attempted to hide it (someone evidently moved the offending rock/lump of dirt/concrete or whatever it was, and where we go from there.
  4. Looking good Rob Only thing I would say is the carbon panel by the gear shift just kind of looks "plonked" there. I'm not feeling it. Just my opinion of course, but it might look better to me when it's all together.
  5. The company signed up to the forum and then offered a deal without being a paid Trader which is against the Trading rules. If however a member approaches a company asking for a group discount, which the company agrees to, then that member will PM a moderator with all the details. Then, we as moderators will open it up to the Traders on the forum to see if any of them can match the deal. If they can, then that Trader will offer the Group Buy themselves. If not, then the original Group Buy suggestion will be given the go ahead. That's it in a nutshell. Hope this helps.
  6. Prefacelift have a side light inside the unit. Facelift do not.
  7. Nice looking Supra there. Only thing I'd say is ditch the 19 inch wheels. Handling is so much better on 18's, and yes I'm talking from experience.
  8. PM Dr_Jeckyll. He usually has a few sets of wheels lying around.
  9. He did sell it, but bought another one. Completely stock, even has the oem cassette player. Unfortunately he's not available on the 14th
  10. I might know someone with a stock CRX. Not sure if he sold it or not though. I'll find out and get back to you.
  11. Right, I'll sum this up simply and quickly as there is no need to have a second thread on the matter. A UK Spec is and forever will be a UK Spec because that is what it is. A J Spec is and forever will be a J Spec because that is what it is. An EU Spec is and forever will be a EU Spec because that is what it is. A US Spec is and forever will be a US Spec because that is what it is. Different markets had different rules therefore the cars had different parts added/removed/swapped/upgraged to suit said markets. Anything else? If so, reread the thread, it's all in here. Oh and Matt - Cream interior

    Prosport guages are good. I've got a ProSport boost guage and it's been fine. Around £40 a pop.

  14. I don't think so. I think they were just TRD VIN plates.

    Only problem with the DVLA is that the V5 says "Toyota Supra", so there will be an overlap in 1993 between MKIII (did it run until 93?) and MKIV Supras. Unless you could persuade someone to go through the system and bring up all "Toyota Supras registered on the road with a 3L engine".
  16. Fli are good value for money too. About £30-£40 for a pair. I have them in mine and haven't had a problem.
  17. Um.......the same way. The material doesn't matter as far as I am aware, the process is the same.
  18. If you want a cheaper option, you can get Gen7 Celica leather seats for around £200 for a mint pair. A nice, comfy stock looking seat for not much pennies.
  19. Ex Infantry with Devon and Dorsets and then 1 Riles after the amalgamation. Did 10 years, no an Outdoor Activities Instructor.
  20. Easiest way is to look from beneath the boot lid and see if the old holes were welded up. Will give you a solid idea of where they should be. Unless it was a rare no spoiler boot lid from the factory. Off the top of my head the hole next to the boot strut should let you see where the original hole was, if you look into it and towards the outside edge of the boot lid.
  21. Check the bulb holders themselves. Sometimes the terminals where the bulbs connect rust up.
  22. My parents have solar panels. They make more than they use so they actually make money from them. I know it's not the same everywhere, but they recommend it to everyone.
  23. Just a bump on this as we would like people to leave the original text in place when the item has sold to help other members value their parts when they wish to sell.
  24. You need to pay membership to gain access to the for sale areas.
