  1. I got mine remanufactured by mrs motor radiator specialists in preston 01772 736500. As the originals from toyota are discontinued. They fixed the tabs slightly incorrect, but made a bracket for it to fit. I could upload a pic if the admin upgraded the filesize for pics

  5. If you do ever sell it, very few will appreciate the hard work and money spent, they just say your asking too much. Keep it treasure it. The Uk spec is such a unicorn, no manufacturer would reengineer a car for 600 units like what toyota did. Good bless toyota in their haydays ))
  6. Im the owner of this car, currently the car is undergoing a full restoration, beaware of uk spec cars, i guarantee the cills will be rotten... the drivers side has had 70hrs of restoration an fabrication, the passenger side has had the same and is nearly finished, the beige interior has been refoamed and retrimed in beige leather, thanks auto trim ltd denton manchester. Currently spent north of 25k, not including the purchase price.... the things we do for our passion
  7. Hello all.... im struggling to upload files... i dont know if i have all rights being a newbie... Needless to say, having experienced alot of cars and ownership, there is something personal about the supra... the way it wraps around you in the drivers seat... the way it hunkers down at speed... the way it walks the back end out at a roundabout.... its effortless performance even standard... it even looks like a db9 though the drivers door mirror, on the rear arch.... i like it... its a timeless design, the best japan has done? Enjoy it.. its good... be happy your driving a classic.
  8. Hi all.. im jonathan.. had a car accident in 1993 ended up using a wheelchair... been a member before .. forgot my login details.. owned my first supra in 2000, pre fandf, which had 20k miles and totally standard.. owned my second in 2005 which i decatted and fitted with a hks ti carbon, air filter etc and 3 piece 18" wheels, forget the make. Then i was then lost in the wilderness, owned rb320,, vwr32, porsche 911 c4s, audi r8, nissan r35's then lambos, ferrari's, aston martins I feel having experienced alot of cars, the supra came calling back, i dont know exactly why. I cant put my finger on it. So i looked for another uk spec supra auto, which i found at h and h auctions in duxford in march 2018, i went with a trailer and my toyota surf ( maybe im a secret toyota lover lol), it was a black 1owner car, never a demo, the guy was 55 when he bought it, now 80... so he was reducing his collection, it had done 130k miles, recent respray in factory black, afew issues on the mot history, but no show stopper. Alast i never, took enough money and got out bidded. I was so mad that in my frustration driving home, i blew the engine on my surf But then in october 2018, the winning bidder put the car up for sale on ebay, we talked, discussed. And then having the car inspected by fensport, we struck a deal. I was over the moon, being the car was born in 1993, and i having a life changing accident in the same year and ending up a pararplegic and a wheelchair user for life, we had a bond Like all uk spec supras of this age, rust is an issue, i used the car afew times, ran great, oil stem issues on startup, suspension abit loose, interior abit worn.. i decided to do a full restoration on it. So far i have spent 17k on top of the purchase price, loads of parts arriving from amayama each week, nuts bolts, bits and bobs. The rust was an issue, having been jacked up incorrectly on the seem, and then split and damaged, water did its toll. The driver side cills has been restored, 60hours of stripping and fabcrication and spraying , with parts from keron in Leicester , lee at srd, a fall out at whifbitz over some bloody valve collets, the battle has now commenced to the passenger side. Amongst this restoration, and falling in love with the supra again, and knowing what it costs to do a build correctly, i went and purchased a supra locally that has 807bhp top secret body kit, and a list of parts and work totalling over £60k, it was in my eyes a bargain. So this is the story till now, the 807bhp car is going away next week to get adapted with my hydraulic clutch system as its a manual, the system was first used in my escort cosworths and clio williams in the mid 90's. Im currently 46, pretty skint... but enjoying my supras )))
