I had the same issues, tried playing with all sorts of Lightrooms wizardry and couldn't get anything clear out. I agree it looks like a 2 to me too.
-
To be clear, I don't know if a Jspec with the two side by side reds are 100mm apart. Just that euro specs (And thus Uk specs) had the red lights separated. Worth measuring out and trying to argue the point if it's close enough.
-
UK supras have the red lights in the clusters separated unlike Jspecs which have the two together (orange, red, white, red vs orange, red, red, white for the passenger side cluster). I assume because the distance needed to be increased to meet the regs.

Bought a Noco Genius 5 from Halfords. Works as expected, allegedly recovers batteries too.
-
Have you actually seen any for sale? Any idea of what value people are ascribing to them these days?

Using Grannas Racing as a source for information on the diff ratios -> JDM autos either had 3.769 or 4.083 rear diffs. 3.769 -> 85mph @ 3.2k rpm in overdrive, 85mph @ 4.3k rpm in 3rd gear. 4.083 -> 85mph @ 3.5k rpm in overdrive, 85mph @ 4.6k rpm in 3rd gear. Calculated with 265/35/r18 rear tyres
-
I got the wrong diff ratio above, so I've rerun the numbers. 3k rpm for overdrive @ 85mph or 4k rpm for 3rd gear @ 85mph
-
Quick bit of calculations but when in overdrive 85mph leads to about 3k rpm. 85mph in 3rd gear leads to 4k rpm. That's with a 265/35/r18 tyre. I've got a UK spec 93 auto. Gear ratios are as follows: 1st gear 2.804, 2nd gear 1.531, 3rd gear 1.0, overdrive 0.753. The diff ratio is 3.266 3.538

The boot lid panel gaps are off. It’s sat too far to the left. With what Keron has said about the boot floor being welded would be a safe guess that something has hit the rear quite hard
-
Lots of U.K. spec variants of cars have headlamp washers. Celica gen 6s and Honda s2000s are the two examples I’ve got off the top of my head
-
I guessed as much, but saw the screws on this picture and thought I could’ve been wrong! Thanks!
-
Anyone know what those 4 screws in the side of the dash, next to the head unit are for? Got the holes in my dashboard and seeing this I’m glad it’s not that some idiot has done it, but does beg the question, what are they for?

TRD strut brace fits a hooded supra (Allegedly, at least garage whifbitz say so on their website) -
Emailed the guy not too long ago: Use the code M4SUP

Pretty sure it's @Burna who does the 3D printed brackets for the Toucans, replaces the clock in your dashboard that way. £50 plus P&P if I remember right

You did say "rebuilding" rather than restoring or repairing. Which leaves the question of whether it was a front end collision, other damage, or as you say here just finding parts after it had been stripped. People are curious and it's very common for Supras to end up in front end collisions, so it's a pretty valid question and there's no need to be so defensive over the question. Also, if you want to list things for wanted, there is a section in the forum for that. You probably need to be a paying member to access this/post in it.

A file format for pictures, iPhones typically use it. But it's an open MPEG standard

Welcome to the club! I'm near Goole, just across from Hull so not too far either!

To my knowledge an exemption for removing airbags (And abs) exists for cars used in motorsport. IE you may remove them if the car is used for motorsport. Up to your MOT tester to decide if your car fits that/for you to provide enough evidence that your MOT tester is happy that the car falls under this use case. Some .gov site for further reading

Can also recommend a Celica GT4 ST205 for the twisties if you want something else 90's and Toyota, with slightly less worry of the rear end going for a walk
-
Have the interior of mine out at the minute and I'm treating exactly where those rust spots are but it's just barely surface rust on the inside of mine. I too am very much enjoying all the updates, good to see what people are doing to fix these problems when they've gone too far!

These are torsen LSDs, and this behaviour of the other wheel rotating the opposite way to the wheel you're applying torque to is normal.
