  1. I've recently just inflated my tyres (31 psi) i'm running on 18's with toyo proxes. Ever since my front end feels light when turning right and I seem to be having to put more lock on to negotiate round abouts and the back end feels like it's gonna step out at low speeds the car is pulling to the left slightly aswell i've had the tracking done 6 months ago any ideas ?
  2. Never really worried me to have a turbo badge on the back because A) they will soon know B) they any see a flash of the back when I go past them :flame Dev
  3. And I can't help noticing it has an "American" Turbo badge on the rear = its parked by a stars and stripe flag
  4. Yep your right it is a c2 kit they say the side skirts need 2mm of trimming to get a near perfect fit
  5. I'm looking at buying a Veilside C1 body kit it consists of: 2 piece front bumper sideskirts spoiler and rear spats. Is apparently good quality but sid skirts require a little trimming. I guy I know has quoted me £800 to fit and spray (silver), he is a quality fitter and does all of local VW Audi accident repair. Now my question is .. Is this a good price or can I expect to get it cheaper else where
  6. Might be worth speaking to the boys at CRD the blue Supra they did in Banzai Magazine last month was orginally a SZ supra with a TT engine dropped in it.
  7. With Tesco at mo (work for them so get discount) but did a quote online for elephant yesterday (see what this years is gonna cost) TT 93 Jpsec Gz Auto 3 points 3 years no claims £698.00 so think i'll be changing this year cost me £1100 with tesco
  8. Either that or someone nicked it and put it on their j-spc earlier !!!!
  9. I sent a letter to the DVLA along with a copy of the SVA certificate for the car + purchase receipt which clearly stated it was a MKIV they sent back new docs no questions asked
  10. I've had this problem too. But if you don't put registration no in and search for car it will quote on mkiv on tesco site. The reason mine quote as mk3 on reg no was cause some numpty at Dvla decided o put MK3 on my V5 and was a right pain in the arse to sought out.
  11. After taking my brother out in the Supe he is thinking of importing one have been in contact with East West imports has anyone on here ever dealt with them ao heard anything about them. My brother is after an Aerotop and not many about so importing looks like the best option. Does anyone know of any about or any goog importers ? cheers
  12. how about a form like a sponser jobby for example Name address signature ..................... .................. ................. .................... .................. ................. .................... ..................... .................. could get 50 people on one page. Then we could ask local garages if they would help us by asking there customers to sign it and collect them from them after a week ot two. The same principle could be used for family and you workplace the only work would be handing out and collecting forms. How are we going to collate them all well isn't this just an excellent excuse for a Supra meet ....... we could all meet up in a central location someone could collect all the forms and forward them to Tony "robing Bstrd Blair"
  13. mine was diane never heard of a car called that
  14. Oh dear you could have had for lessthis
  15. The Daily Mail has reported that petrol could be hitting £4 a gallon mark due to problems in Saudi Arabia it won't be long before the £'s are running faster than the litres at th pumps. If this happens i'm gonna have to buy a little car to get to work and use the Supe for weekends I simply can't afford to keep spending more on petrol to get to work.
  16. I get about 18 mpg as my Mrs keeps pointing out .........
  17. V power is sold over most of the continent quite a few people (myself included) have been try to get shell to sell it over here via Shell forum but the answer we have been getting is they have n plan to introduce it look here
  18. Perhaps there is a generation issue here or people purely use abb. to keep there questions or messages short. I for one don't have a great knowledge of the technical stuff on here however I find it a great source of information and appreciate the help everyone has given me in the past. Lets be honest the site is about Supra's and not ones mensa score and linguistic ability
  19. Don't know what the fellas sign on is will scan and post up the next issue of Banzai when it comes out. Have also posted a post in was it you to see if he replies
  20. I've seen in the past a few threads am I the youngest MkIV owner on here. In Banzai Magazine June issue there is a Guy McGreggor 18 who has a SZ modded to 295 bhp in black. Due to have a full feature next month. Bet you're starting to feel like Ryan Giggs now WSB
  21. I'm lucky only have the 3 points shuold be 6, but did the oh i'm not signing that form trick back in April last year and haven't heard anything since (nice). Off the top of my head there is a few things you could do when you receive the summons: A) ask what type of device you where detected with B) ask whether they have a calibration certificate for the day you were caught (quite often they don't) C) Never admit at the scene that you were doing the speed you were D) It also helps if you're not in the outside lane and that you were mearly keeping up with the flow of traffic
