I would love this, my only problem is getting it down south (unless someone is passing and doesn't mind carrying?)

The other bit is it depends on how they calculate income. I'm on a much lower salary as a company director than when I was employed directly. I still end up with around the same total income if the company does well and pays a dividend.

With a bit of luck I'll be down tonight as well.

My aftermarket Weds SA-15R's are 2kg lighter at 18" than the stock 17's just for the alloy. The Weds are ~9kg each and the stock 17's are about 11-12kg. I'm not much wider than stock, just enough to improve traction from slow rolling starts (still break traction from a standstill). http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?62606-Stock-17-quot-wheel-weight The ride is far more supple on my winter 17's but I don't find the 18's a bad daily compromise at all. I also think the 18's look better.

For me, the Supra was cheaper, faster, and better looking than anything else I could find. I still can't think of another rear wheel drive car for less than £15k that I'd rather have. I don't fit in RX7's, so that's that problem solved .

105NM, never had one come loose. I seem to remember 76ft-lb being the factory spec on them.

The only one that caused me a real problem was intake side up top, it's very short and makes a near 90-degree bend. With a bit of boiling in my kettle (and cutting it shorter than I thought it should be) it went on ok. If you've got weak/soft IT worker hands, you may want to allow a couple hours to push everything into place.

Couldn't resist, booked in.

Mine had the clocks from a low mileage car put in it at some point, does that count as genuine? The mileage doesn't worry me, I'd rather know the car has been well looked after and enjoyed.

Cold tyres will spin up, not helped by cold, damp roads early in the day or later in the evening. The eagle F1's I've got on at the moment seem quite a lot worse than other brands I've used as it gets cold.

Well, I have no idea how I missed that. If Pete doesn't go for them, I'd quite like a set.

Are they Japanese spec or UK spec?

I had a mare getting to mine, gave up and took the whole top off the selector housing in the end. If you pull the bottom of the shifter below the leather down and rotate it 90 degrees, you can lift the housing top high enough to get into the lamp. Apparently you can replace without doing that, I was just failing at any other method.

Hmm, I could use the cats out of it. Would rather avoid shipping the whole lot though if possible.

Very tasty. They're meant to be really good fun on a nice B road but a little hairy up near the limit. I couldn't afford them when I was looking at buying something last year, went with a Supra instead. I'm not entirely sure I can affford the rate I want to do things on the Supra either though

Deposit in, looking forwards to this a lot

Not sure on selling for more than actual value, you technically buy and sell money whenever you're doing a foreign exchange and that's open market. eBay can ban it all they want, they don't even bother checking sellers are paying VAT, I doubt they're too bothered as long as they get their cut.

Good news on the price of those, I've been having intermittent issues with one of mine as well. Got to admit I was somewhat put off with the original price I'd seen.

Same thing as collecting stamps. There are more nutters who want a 'first edition' low serial number note than there are people selling the notes. I may or may not have withdrawn a bunch of fivers (easier said than done finding the feckers!) and cashed them back in again in the hopes of getting a 'good one' to sell...

I'm running the SA-15R's as well I couldn't justify the TC105Ns in the end, about £900 more. They've handled quite a bit of UK road punishment, only damage was me kerbing one trying to avoid a white van. The Volk TE37s list up in about the same weight region as the TC105N depending on exactly which version you get.

Weds TC105N's are about 8KG a corner in 18x9.5J (they also do an 18x10.5J for about 0.35kg more), not sure if that's light enough for you. http://wedssport.jp/spectable/tc105n.pdf

I paid about £700 for a used set of UK's front and back. Condition of them was worse than I was hoping for and I needed new discs and pads all round as well as a lot of elbow grease to clean them up. If I'd known, I'd have not gone higher than £500 for the set. It cost me about as much in the end to fit used as it would have to fit new. If yours are in decent condition with regards to discs and pads, the parts to rebuild aren't that much. It cost me about £260 for parts to rebuild both fronts a bit ago from Chris Wilson, worth checking though as prices may have moved. You could possibly do it cheaper if your pistons are in good condition and not rusted to buggery. In terms of how easy or difficult, technically not hard just time consuming. I'd probably leave it as an exercise to whoever buys them, just take good photos so they can see what they're getting into when you sell.

Hmm, maybe it's just the Jap ones then. I've certainly got two different ones in my flat at the moment (only certain one of them is for the supra as it's the same as mine. The other is claimed to be from a supra...) because I bought the wrong part first time round. Mine (Jap '97) takes part 89670-14050 (two plugs side by side and much smaller), the other one I have is part 89671-14010.
