Hi, I'm in Warminster, I'm sure I've got a photo of your car going past the Bell pub at standerwick. Will add it later.

Thanks for the fast and good reply, I will listen to you and my tyre guy, thanks

Hi all, I'm fitting some cruze 19" wheels on the back, they are 9.5 wide with a 35 off set. The car is on original springs, I want to fit 285 x 40 x 19 but my tyre guy (who has been good in the past) says thats a very big tyre, he wants me to go for 275 x 30 I'm happy to go 275 x 35. But will they fit, have any of you got 19" rears. Thanks

another common issue with these cars, as they get older the dash pad swells and pulls away from the air vents TOYOTA SUPRA mkIV by shagracer, on Flickr theres not a lot you can do, a bit of camouflage takes it away from your eyes, also keeping wife and bank manager happy at the same time.

the stuff i used was in a spray can made by Auto Care called Dash Shine, suitable for vinyl, rubber or plastic. some cars fight you all the way, but this car wants to be saved and brought back to a nice level, the ash tray lid was a sloppy horrible experience to touch and open (compared to the smooth slow opening on a mkiii) but again talking to other owners, i was told that these should also be a smooth action, today i pulled the small insert out, the lid was only held by the spring (which i thought would be missing) but there was nothing else holding the lid to the pot, carefully flicking through the fluff and crumbs in the main panel i spotted two tiny shiny pins, popped them in place, slid the lid arms back over, and Hey Presto one nice smooth working ash tray. just a shame that the top layer of all the plastic trim in mkiv's seem to go a little soft and almost tacky P.S. oh...just love the little hidden light in the ash tray

i was at a Japanese car meet in Langford, and was talking to the owner of a very smart orange aero top, i asked about his new looking wiper scuttle and if they were still available from MrT, to my amazement he said it wasn't new just cleaned and polished with some type of back to black product. so today i had a go with mine. TOYOTA SUPRA mkIV by shagracer, on Flickr i can't believe how good it now looks, as for how long it stays black i don't know, but i will keep doing it from time to time in hope it stays this nice.

I'm not alone then, thanks for the replies

is this a common issue, my plastic windscreen vents have sunken down into the top of the dash, or the dash has swollen up leaving the plastic vents behind. should i gently hook the vents and try pulling them up and back into place. WINDSCREEN AIR VENT by shagracer, on Flickr

great idea for a thread, as this is on my long, getting longer list of things that must get done, like the Recaro speeds from Whifbitz and the S2000 seats, are there any other known seats (from other cars) that bolt straight in or can be easily made to fit, must slide and recline.

cars running well, just had the tracking reset, and she's blowing nice and cold inside after having the A/C re-gassed, although the gold wheels caught my eyes in the for sale advert, ive gone off them so have started a little refurb on them (well one so far) light rub down by shagracer, on Flickr grey primer by shagracer, on Flickr silver rim, black centre by shagracer, on Flickr FRONTS OR REARS by shagracer, on Flickr Headlights got a dull misty/cloudy look to them mkIV SUPRA by shagracer, on Flickr ten minutes with a bit of t-cut. mkIV SUPRA by shagracer, on Flickr

The more i look at the silver decals along the top of the sills, the more i dislike them, they seem to catch bits of polish in the edges and show up as a line of white around them, and do you need stickers telling you it's a supra, so they will be coming off. TOYOTA SUPRA mkIV by shagracer, on Flickr *added post* having now cool down, from finding what some cowboy had done in the past. starting with the smallest part of the side sticker, i heated and peeled it back then gently removed the remaining glue, and could not work out why i still had such a hard edge above and below, then it hit me that the sticker had been masked, and the car then received a coat of paint. so im left with this TOYOTA SUPRA mkIV by shagracer, on Flickr after walking around the car a few times, looking at it through critical eyes, spotting other flaws and marks, have now decided she will get a windows down respray with the stickers removed.

yes the .net forum run by GT

will be fitting this today, should make the whole driving experiences feel more pleasant than holding that old tatty thing in your hands.

Took part in the Wallingford vehicle rally (sun 13th) with the mkIII boys we had 9 cars, which has been one of our largest gatherings of late, and to top that 5 of them were aero-tops. Anyway whilst walking around found this little gem 1993 TOYOTA SUPRA mkIV by shagracer, on Flickr 1993 TOYOTA SUPRA mkIV by shagracer, on Flickr It has an American V8 TOYOTA SUPRA mkIV by shagracer, on Flickr TOYOTA SUPRA mkIV by shagracer, on Flickr TOYOTA SUPRA mkIII by shagracer, on Flickr

also got these (from whifbitz), as mine were flagged up on its MOT GOODRIDGE BRAKE HOSES by shagracer, on Flickr

not at all

been driving around in this for around a week, finding out the good and bad things, decided it was worth an oil/filter change and a slightly early MOT.......FAIL........emissions were sky high around the 12.5 mark, she did hunt on tickover and had the odd smell of petrol at times, turned out to be a few air leaks and a badly glued up bodge, she sailed through (emissions) well under the limits, runs smooth even on tickover, more responsive, and better on mpg....phew. Time to visit mr T, I need a pair of door window weather strips, guy comes out after checking, head down not looking happy, we can get them but i don't think you will want them he says, £££, but as mine are well shagged im just glad they still do them no matter how much, heres a photo of mine. weatherseal by shagracer, on Flickr

herzlich willkommen, im also a new kid around here, the locals seem friendly and very helpful, hope you enjoy your supra and the time you will spend on this here forum, prost

Heading towards Warminster, near the Bell pub around 6pm, looked a nice one

that look great, inside and out, very nice

im not happy with the way the roof gutter trim sits, but cant see how to remove or tap it back on, i dont think you should be able to see such a big gap or the clip underneath, any suggestion

They say photos never lie, well they may hide the odd blemish, i bought this old girl off the bay unseen, I cant complain, as we all know you really should go and see what you might be buying. THE NEW TOY by shagracer, on Flickr i have managed to close the gap between the window and seal, the door now shuts with out the glass hitting the roof trim, thanks to a good video i watched on youtube. window alignment by shagracer, on Flickr
