  1. Maybe worth a shot a toyota then by the sounds of it
  2. Anyone know any place or someone who sells new/used fuel tank covers as mine is knick knacked with holes in it
  3. Recently i have replaced my digital clock with an aftermarket gauge, i used the 12v ignition and possibly earth cable from the clock to power the gauge, just recently i have noticed my interior light does not work and odometer resets every time the ignition is switched on and off. Could this be due to using wrong connections ? Thanks
  4. 18" rota gtr, offset +30 rear, +30 front
  5. I had mounted to the strut brace wrong somehow ........ It was hitting the inlet manifold
  6. I also removed the oil catch tank, everything was placed back correctly and tightened, both pipes were also put back correctly
  7. I have not long since resprayed certain parts in the engine bay, i removed the hks filter i have on my jspec N/A and when i put it back together i noticed that the sponge filter does not sit flush around the base, the car vibrates slightly on idle and upto 1500-2000rpm, could this be the car is taking in to much air due to it not sitting correctly ? It also idles slightly higher than usual
  8. 235/40/18 it is then, thanks for the advice
  9. After looking round for some new tyres, a friend mentioned that to make sure i get the correct size i also need to try and get the correct rolling radius as stock tyres if possible ? As in an earlier topic i will be running 18x8.5j for my fronts, can anyone help me out as regards this radius and size etc

    Tyre size ?

    What would be the reasonable size tyre to fit my front 8.5j x 18 alloys Rears 265/35/18 x 9.5J Fronts ???/35/18 x8.5J
  13. Just need some tyres in a few weeks time
  14. As it is my birthday soon id thought i would treat myself to a new set of alloys for the supra, ive orded 2x18" rota gtr (8.5j) and 2x18" (9.5j) Here is what they look like
  15. Going have to get the bearing changed as its always made a werring noise from when i bought the car and take it from there
  16. No specific hot spots on the tyres, the disc is just as warm as the opposite side, wen the wheel is on and the car is in gear the wheel wobbles, a friend said this could be my wheel bearing ?? I do get a werring noise wen i make left turns amd goes wen i turn right
  17. The creeking is when i am driving, it starts of with a quiet creek then progressively gets louder over a short time, do you think i should let a garage check before i go chucking money at it ?
  18. I will try that, if the the disc rotates fine and there is no wobble on the caliper, any ideas what the creeking could be wen the wheel is rotated
  19. There is nothing securing the disc to the hub, never was since ive owned the car, yeah the disc has a slight bit of play
  20. Hey guys, got a bit of a problem i thought i solved, the drivers rear side brakes or wheel makes a creek noise, i also noticed when i taken my wheel off that my caliper tends to wobble in and out wen the the disc is rotating, there are crappy jspec calipers, any ideas ?
  21. Sorted it, as i was freeing up the runners i noticed a stone was lodged between the pads and disc, problem solved thanks
  22. Good point, il check the pads, caliper and back plate, anything else i should check ?
