Thanks muchly Nic! (and Samdale) I'll be in touch.
-
Yeah, I'm aware of that. Without photos it's not very useful nowadays and I still cannot find these parts.
-
My car is being re-assembled now and I'm being asked to source a bunch of components that broke or just need replacing. I've figured out most using http://www.japan-parts.eu/toyota/jp/1997/supra/jza80-alpvz/4_291130_012_/body There's a few I'm stuck on. Original orange facelift front bumper side repeaters LH / RH Door hinge bolts (two are missing?) "Front spoiler retainer bolt and nut" - I'm presuming he means the hard plastic strip under the bumper. Thanks for any help. Who's the best people to get a catalogue of such fiddly parts from nowadays?

Been offered a mkiv UK 2jz manual BUT with 240k miles looking for advice

If it's been running on UK roads for that length of time through many salty winters you need to be very careful of rot. It could need an awful lot of work awaiting somebody. -
I'd heard it was your turn to organise it this year? Isn't it done yet?!
-
I've been pondering this too. Not read any negatives about the cartoon double skin outdoor product other than they themselves say the outer skin may need 'reburbishment' (I read replacing) after three years. Also in heavy snow it will collapse so expect to have to keep clearing it off. With decent ventilation it should do the job properly. They appear to have good resale value too, even old beat up ones are asking good money on eBay.

I highly recommend using FreeAgent. I use it for my business and it saves a fortune in accountant fees making VAT returns etc a doddle. I also allows for automatic recurring invoicing, emailing of reminders and loads of other time saving features.

It's not Xmas until we get the annual Xmas drawing from Ed..

Just spotted this comment. You're a very bad man. -
Sitting there "appreciating" is the key thing. In a year or two they'll be worth a lot more.

Marbleapple's Supra 'pottering' thread - Winter Tidy Up
Pete replied to marbleapple's topic in mkiv Technical
Follow the cable - IIRC it's a spade connector on the other end. If you buy a replacement you should see it has the same cord like cable attached to the bulb itself. I think the ones you've bought are the plugin type, I don't think you'll have success with those I'm afraid. Actually...that's an H3 bulb you've pulled out for the fog lights, not the side lights? -
Sorry about that. There's nothing a lowly orange mod like I can do, only super mods (red). Your request has been flagged in the mods section, but we have a problem. As I understand it the person who is/was responsible for the trader memberships isn't well so we're not sure if it's a temporary glitch or if it needs re-assignment. That combined with it being a busy time of year for everyone I think we're all afraid to commit at the moment. This thread has been flagged too so hopefully one of the reds will respond soon.

Oh no, not this again... can't find the last thread.

I imagine he felt very guilty leaving his wife to bring up his new born and expect she gave him a lot of personal and emotional support. Look how Lewis fell apart when his personal life wasn't going well. Maybe I've missed something, but having watched a number of interviews with the Mercedes bosses nobody seems too upset in the team. Coverage of the event seems like slim pickings. Acceptance of trophy here, Nico comes across ok to me.

They all want to win. Those that have the opportunity with the right hardware will do what they can to ensure they do. What constitutes as good sportsmanship appears to boil down to who does or doesn't sail closest to breaking the rules. Just a shame it's not an even playing field - Formula E is good for that. Nico? I can't blame him. He's made a fat lot of cash, achieved what he wanted and will probably be happier out of the politics of F1. Enjoying your life and retirement is what it's all about.

£154 on O2.. http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/brand-new-sealed-iphone-5s-16gb-153-99-o2-unlocked-2565924 Not that you'd want to be on O2 unless you're in a city. (edit: unlocked apparently?)
-
Forget Stage 5 - I want Stage 10.
-
How do they get away with it? I need some easy cash.
-
The 2nd turbo was still available from Toyota when I looked 6 months back...at £2k.
-
So much for the complimenting the car above idea A mate of mine has one for sale, very original so needs a little work...an itch I've been wanting to scratch.
-
Nice subtle choice of mods. I like OEM. Interesting classic BMW too.
-
Cool.

http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/datsun/280z/datsun-280z-california-import-excellent-condition/6442873 Seems reasonably priced, shame it's a left hooker.
