Wings are cheap new (~£140 +vat?). I'd hate to have to buy a new door though!

They look good. I really like the off shade in the closeup but presume that's a camera anomoly (white balance).

hey look at that - I check to see that it was you MCanny (I sometimes confuse you and Mawby), and you've changed your name

Totally unrelated Michael, but do we know if anything came of that chap who had custom-designed some rather flash dials for his FTO and was trying to drum up interest for some Supra ones?

Oh and like Geoff says, get the engine/ecu knock thing fixed.

carl0s:

A very quick spec: "Spec: 6 speed manual, model RZS, (chassis E-JZA80-ALFVZ), 2JZ GTE engine, Twin Turbo, 1997 P reg Black metallic paint,

Well, it's not a VVTi (I assume?), but it's the last of the non-vvtis. So I presume it's facelift? and it's six-speed. It's not Royal-Sapphire Pearl, but even so, it's a very desirable motor.

The time of year thing.. well it just seems that no body is able to sell their cars for decent money at the moment. I'd say £10k would be easy, if anyone wanted to buy one!

a 1997 Twin Turbo. Is it manual or auto? What colour?

It's probably worth circa £10k, however, it seems quite unlikely that you'll be able to sell a £10k Supra right now. I would wait 'til June.

I just buy any major-branded (as in the DRAM manufacturer, not the cardboard box manufacturer) RAM of sufficient capacity and performance. Never have seen the point in spending extra for heat spreaders or stickers or boxes

Wouldn't the caliper recondition kit be your best bet?

Sorry guys the Business Post man will be knocking on Christians door right about now

There is a Haynes "Sex Manual" which looks like a fun read.

That second link is the horrifying filtration many of us are referring to when we slate the HKS mushroom Pretty bad isn't it!

Yes it is easily done. It is supposedly not possible to just 'set' the odo to a given mileage. Instead it has to be reset to zero, and then left for a couple of days to count up.

So Jay, gis a clue. I have a spare odo here and fancied playing with it

I think it's just the VVTi N/A that's an interference design isn't it?

PD as in Diesel?

I'm afraid not many of our Supras have diesel engines!

Why have you started using this account now?

I suspected it might have something to do with all those swear words in that thread which miraculously disappeared, however I beleive a proper explanation wasn't given

Nice area they live.

Was just gonna say, if you buy it make sure you get it HPI'd as that's the slightly rougher area about 1.5miles from where I live!

N500PRA was on a car I was close to buying. That's N SOOPRA btw

Then there was C1 YER

I was going to say in the first pic (no indicator) it looks like a gents lavatory sign

Looks ok though!

carlos mate,

thats gorgeus ,

and to be honest if it wasnt for the wheels i wouldnt be able to tell the difference except yours kinda looksa little newer,and i think its a dark grey ?

basically tho,dont they look gorgeus ! the only supras i had realy noticed up untill recently were either the mark2 or mark 3 `s and i never liked them,. i have no memories of ever seeing a mk4 before ! thats weird innit ?

Sure is! Hey, stop spending all your money on cars and go buy a colour monitor!! My car is blue Pretty poor photographs though and it is terribly dirty in them.

I think your car sits a bit lower than mine. My rear suspension would look better if it was lower but already there are places where I'm catching my downpipe & exhaust.

Plus, black is the best colour

Oh Carl0s, everytime I see that car it reminds me how much I love you

Aww thanks.

I'd probably have much more faith in Matt H

Knackered diff? Dodgy brakes? Does it not feel funny when you're driving it? Could it be that you had your handbrake on and it's only working on one side? (sorry! )

I have a customer who occasionally uses his datacard, and has to keep swapping it with his business partner. I wonder if the '2nd sim' would be possible here? As already mentioned, I have spare datacards.

Cant remember the figures she said now but I think she only pays £45 a month and never exceeds the usage set on it. Again depends what your surfing for

Yep that'll be the one that a couple of my customers use. I think the £45/month now gets you 1gb of usage, which is very reasonable value. I just wish I could have that as part of my VF400 voice tarrif.

I use mine for remote support occasionally and it does work well. It seems that I can only chat & net where there is a 3G signal. GPRS (2G) won't work at the same time as phonecalls.

Did I mention it's expensive? I had to download the drivers for an Intel Anypoint DSL modem at an office a short while ago. They were about 4mbs. Thats £10!!! Speed is impressive. You are redirected through a transparent proxy at IP 1.2.3.4 which re-compresses JPGs to pretty poor quality. And they redirect you away from Porn or anything remotely naughty, but this can be turned off.

I thought you were joking and saying citroen C4 lol. Shows what i know about those comon porka's!

hehe. It's Carrera 4 S
