I've had a look on eBay and through the parts section but I can't seem to find any. Does anyone have a set of 17'' OEM wheels?

When an open differential car is travelling in a straight line on a flat road, is only one of the wheels being driven even then? The thing I am worried about is that if the open differential is transferring all of the power to one wheel, surely this would damage the drive shaft?

Not sure if this is a stupid question, but my understanding of an LSD is that it controls the amount of horsepower through each driven wheel so that it is impossible for one wheel to turn faster than the other thus preventing wheel spin? In an open differential car, when one driven wheel loses traction it will naturally turn faster than the other driven wheel, thus making driving in low traction conditions extremely difficult. In a situation where one wheel is spinning and the other is not turning at all, how does the traction control make any difference? An open differential has the already inherent mechanical problem of the wheels potentially turning at different speeds that surely cannot be overcome physically by moderating power to the wheels?

The main thing I'm looking for really is just how to drive it rather than technical information, anything at all would be helpful!

Is there any detailed documentation around for the tiptronic gearbox and how to use it? I've been trying to search on Google but there doesn't really seem to be anything.

What sort of prices are you getting for insurance on a TT? Sometimes you just need to find the right underwriter, when I was 20 I had a twin turbo 300ZX, my insurance was around £2000 with an underwriter called Equity Red Star. Using comparison sites only goes so far.

I actually didn't realise it was due. If I re-new it will you stop talking to me like I'm a piece of shit, or will I then be paying for that privilege?

Which Golf were they featuring? Was it the new Golf R?

One does have to question however the stance that is being taken on this. If someone has been a member for years and has made significant contributions to the forum, one would assume that would be enough to be granted permission to promote their business should they want to. Not the case apparently, so it appears said members years of unpaid contributions are worth nothing. Why should someone who signs up tomorrow and pays to become an authorised trader be allowed to do that without contributing anything beforehand? It doesn't make sense. The only way this could truly be fair, is if any and all forms of advertisement were allowed, or none at all.

What sort of figures should you see on a dyno for a turbo Supra? 242 seems a bit low?

I don't own the car at the moment, but the import company have said there is no radio fitted, so I wondered if it was like a sat nav or a DVD player or something? I just thought someone on here might be able to help.

Hi guys, does anyone know what is fitted into the radio slot in the below picture?

What is the engine code in the VVTi models?

Forgive me if I sound like an asshole, but is any part of the above statement true? I thought belt driven non-interference engines were virtually non-existent? Especially on road cars. Also, just because it's non-interference I thought if the belt failed it still damages other components?

So are you saying I shouldn't bother having the car serviced as per what Toyota recommends? Or should I just walk away completely?

Hi guys, I'm looking at a car that has done just over 60,000 miles. As I understand it there is a major service at 60,000, so I'm going to assume this has not been done. Does anyone have any in depth breakdown of what work needs doing?

I wanted a 6 speed TT but they are just so expensive. I have an E46 M3 at the moment which has a 6 speed Getrag gearbox. Not sure how similar it is to the one in the Supra, but the M3 was also available with the SMG II gearbox. As the cars have got older the SMG II systems have become a big talking point as they seem prone to failures. How reliable is the tiptronic system on the Supra?

If there was nothing wrong with the car then I don't have a problem with someone selling it on for more. However if the car is fucked and calling said person out prevents someone from truly getting fucked over then I totally understand.

What is the difference between the manual mode and cars that have the tiptronic system? Descriptions I've seen make them seem identical? Is the manual mode the same and the term 'tiptronic' is applied to the facelift cars?

It has rare traction control, must be worth a fortune then.

Aren't you above all this by now?

? Are you certain this is true? I thought it was illegal in Japan to build a car with more than 276hp?

Hi guys, how much does it cost to bring the power of an import model to the same as the UK model? Is there a kit you can buy like the BPU that has all the components required?

Does anyone have any advice on the best route for buying a Supra these days?

I'm looking for a turbo auto, is this spec in particular low in examples?
