  1. I apologise for your loss, was he a member too of the club? Unfortunately I fear I may have missed some news somewhere Sorry I didn't mean to be rude, interseted in a few parts, I hope you can understand anyone's caution on a member with a fair load of premium parts, no sales feedbacks, low post count and joined this month. I even checked your previous posts, as your first post welcoming into the club didn't shed any light. Good luck with all your sales.
  2. Why do you want to break it? I thought this was a mammoth work in progress?
  3. Good price on the E-01 there. Can I ask why you're selling so many Greddy bits and not using them?
  4. I had the same pain as you when I sold my last Supra It was made up though that I had my next one already parked up on the driveway
  5. Also see this (excuse me mod team if it's being discussed heavily already - but I don't know how many of the club want it / how high demand could be). http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?248524-Agreed-Value-Valuations

  7. Just pm me payment details chap and you'll get the cash today Cheers Simon
  8. Got a pair of vortex generators for the shine auto carbon diffuser as detailed in Mr. Whiffin's group buy here http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?177423-Shine-Auto-carbon-rear-diffuser-group-buy In carbon twill weave. Brand new, not using them as I have OEM rear spats which I believe they don't fit with. £100 + postage Cheers, Simon
  9. Hi Paul, I've just bought JohnHandy's one he got ages ago but never fitted, can you possibly fit it for the £50 + VAT rate when I come up in a few weeks for the parts I'm getting off you once you've fettled bits for the exhaust? Cheers, Simon
  10. Ah didn't know, you just had 6-speed shell, flocked dash, ... so thought you were just listing items for offers Nevermind
  11. Nope, just driveway But I live in a postcode which has 66% of the population are > 65 (BH2) I'm also on slightly lower miles than you but I don't think that lowered it that much. I went to try for Lynbrook and LWIB but when my renewal was up last year I was 29 and I'm sure one or both of them don't touch you if you're under 30. Si
  12. Mine's with sureterm direct (was previously a long running A-Plan customer). Your car needs to be 15 years old with some, some require it parked on a driveway / garage, not for commuting obviously and limited mileage. Prior to that I was about £650/year fully comp with A-Plan. Then they went to an underwriter that had some *horrific* feedback so I switched as they couldn't give me a competitive quote with another underwriter. As H said above, he's gone with LWB (I think you need to be 30 years old for them), do a search and you'll find all the reasonable classic insurers.
  13. £240 for me, 30 with 5 years NCB on a classic policy, mods declared.
  14. Hi dude, can I get pics of the flocked bits? Was going to get my whole dash flocked and this sounds like it may save me the time What holes are there if any for gauges etc? I've got a few 52mm and a larger HKS boost controller to fit. Can probably come and collect and pay cash.
  15. Well drop me a line when they're removed. Still looking for a stock pre-facelift set!
  16. Evening all, Looking at changing manifold, downpipe and midpipe soon and was wondering if anyone knows of some good videos giving a reasonable audio to show the difference between having a screamer pipe vs having it plumbed back into the exhaust? Currently I do have a screamer, but going to a twin 45mm wastegate setup. Is that going to be a lot louder or will it just be the same amount of noise coming out of two pipes? I am also assuming the advantages of plumbing the wastegates back in is less noise and also heat is then going out via the exhaust, rather than somewhere near the engine bay - correct me if I'm wrong!
  17. Nice progress chap. Any chance of pics of the manifold/downpipe/midpipe? Not seen detailed shots of the boostlogic one before. What you doing re wastegate? out in the open or plumbed back in? (I can't imagine you're doing the latter)
  18. Good man I hope the front bumper was reusable?
  19. I have two bottles of RBF600 sat downstairs flush and change and bleed is happening next week, as well as checking the pads and pistons. Discs aren't warped, definitely had warped discs once, I think due to rust on the mounting 'faces' (excuse me I can't remember the term), don't get any judder, nor wheel vibration at any speed. As said, the calipers I think are the original UK ones. The caliper refurb kits appear to be £48 from Toyota, I didn't know Chris did a set. How long does a refurb take? As whilst I can put the car up on a ramp, I need to be able to do the job in a day. Ah, I like Dunk, being part asian have small japanese esq hands (which is handy for those hard to reach places in the bay though) Cheers for the advice all, please keep it coming, I will document what I did and what the root cause is so that maybe we can have a guide for what to check - as doesn't appear to be a definitive thread in tech.
  20. Morning All, It appears my car has 'softer' brakes on it than should be the case. I went from an NA which I put UK front & rear calipers on to a UK with (unsurprisingly) UK calipers on too. I put the braking not being as sharp/good as my NA down to it being a lardy UK spec and the weight difference - but after someone gave my car a spirited drive last time for me he said the brakes do indeed appear to be a bit on the bad side. So what causes soft or detrimental brakes? Points to take into consideration : Flushed and changed brake fluid Goodrich braided SS brake hoses on it - made some improvement but not much Changed pads to CW pads and also put in fresh pins, anti-squeal shims, fitting kit etc at the same time as pads and fluid change. The calipers are I believe the original on the car, so possibly just becoming inaffective? I know I can refurb them but doing a search not all parts come in the refurb kit so if it's a piston basically it becomes a bit more hassle? I don't think they're binding or such, after a drive I have gone round to each corner and there's no excessive heat / heat differential, nor does the car squirm at all under braking so bias I believe is ok. The next step I'm taking is to replace both front calipers as I assume they're doing much of the braking force, I also have a brand new set of stock pads, shims, clips which I'll probably do at the same time. I called toyota and also asked for the cost of the brake servo, is the servo and cylinder counted as separate parts? I'm hoping so as Toyota told me the servo is £724.10 EX VAT! Any help on what I should logically try next? Cheers Si
  21. Hi Paul, Interested in a price for all 4 calipers ex discs please? Can you possibly also sell and then transfer to the Toyota Poole dealership for collection? Cheers, Simon
