Lancaster, Elephant or Admiral all very good prices

so the idea of taking it down the local garage to get it simly 'pugged in' an checked noone's ever heard of before? i must admit i'd never heard of ot?

never heard of the bimta check....thats one good way of telling:) , but what if its been clocked before the auction in japan, cos without jap service history its pretty hard to find out anything about the car? has noone heard of garages being able to check clocked cars for you then, cos it came to a bit of a suprise to me!?, surely if its possible for your local garage to tell you if its been clocked its a very wise thing to do!, if i would have been told about this prior to my supra purchases i may well have got an import

yeah 80% of all imports seem to have 60k or lower.:

There seems to be tons of low mileage imports about? surely they cant all be low mileage?..... Ive always wondered if there was actually a way of (for certain) finding out if they have been clocked!?, apart from just looking at steering wheel wear, seat wear, pedal wear etc etc. One ways is to make sure you have jap history i suppose, its just that i was told by someone the other day that all modern garages can check if a car has been clocked!? (never heard it before), it would save a hell of alot of worry for a jap buyers if they knew they could do this (as this is what stopped me from buying a import!?)............ any of you guys/girls heard this before. cheers

'ello m8 an welcome ..... so what you after than!?

Phoenix are very good m8 & also very reasonably priced, they come highly recomended on this board, many owners use them and they are certainly no stranger to the supra!, every time io go there there is at least 3/4 supra's there! give Mark a call!, he's a top bloke

lol! maybe they will! have you got there number handy m8

cheers m8, ill give 'em a buzz....maybe they'll deliver.

Unfortunately my tyre burst on Saturday:rolleyes: – only ‘effing 3 months old too! , does anyone know of a good place to get Michelin Pilot Sport 255/40 ZR 17 – 94Y’s, best price ive got so far is £129.25 inc fit & VAT, preferably in the North London Area or someone that will deliver. thanks in advance.

piccies ??

thnaks for your help peeps, ive found some pricing info on ythe car now:d

i know this is totally off topic an probly the wrong place to post, but i am trying to find a price on a 'Rolls Royce 1972 Silver Shadow 1' an was wondering if anyone knows of a site that i can get prices from, like parkers price guide but for older cars, i can tseem to find a price for it anywere? thanks

cheers people ill av another battle with it over the weekend!!

right ive heard that these things can be a bit awkward to change, BUT F*** there annoying me!, any tips on how i can change them!.... cheers Dan

very nice!! whats the mileage an whats the service history like??....any history from japan too?

to be honest they just bore the pants off me, dont get me wrong the supra auto box is a lovely drive, very smoth yet also very responsive, it definantly has its advantages! and driving round the city streets sometimes i do miss it. I settled for an auto uk suup for about 5 months when i couldn't find a decent low mileage uk manual, oh but when i got into my 6 spd its just so much more involving and MUCH more fun to drive........ rather than just planting your right foot down every now and again..... ah oh!....im just waiting for all the auto owners to come an roast me!....bring it on:search:

poo thats a shame, i do love the aerotop, but just couldn't buy an auto

just a quick question........ do aerotops come in manual, i have only ever seen them in auto. cheers Dan

sounds about right then, the first turbo i can hardly hear, if i hear it at all (depending on noise), it just feels like a burst of power from just under 2000 revs. then when i reach about 3500 revs you can really' hear the turbo whistle! cheers guys my wednesday lesson is over.....same time tomorrow?

Pig: im uk spec, stock really? i was under the impression the 1st kicked in at bout 2000 revs. 2nd at about 3500... so 3500-4000 is when you should hear the tubbies, qwhen does the first an second kick in.... corr you learn somethin' new every day

just a quick question - just wondering when you can here turbos kick in (what revs? cheers

i know the market seems to have dropped at the moment!? .... but i have been seeing j-spec 6 spds going for around £12-13 still!!!!?, which have been much higher mileage, obviously no service history, and to be honest no where near the condition my cars is in. so surely mine must be worth 'alot' more being its a uk an its condition.............. i dont know if anyone on here remembers but someone came on here with a storm blue manual roughly same spec as mine an i believe that wnet for the 14-15k mark?

now those of you after one of these rare beasts in such good nic dont get too excited cos im not deffinantly selling right situation being, im going for a bit of a business venture an not sure my beloved suup can be part of my life anymore:( :( , come on get those violins out, .... im just interested to see what sort of money the car will fetch to see if its the sort of money i cant turn down........ right the details, (this is the best condition UK TT i have seen in all my years of supra searching an ownership), '96 UK TT - Completly Standard - 6 spd manual -Silver with full black leather (leather roof lining - rare Toyota factory option) -46,349 miles, with absolute full service history, 95% Toyota. -All usual UK spec goodies, heated seats, front spoiler, glass headlights etc. (All in perfect working order) -Near new tyres, roughly 3000 miles ago (Michelin pilot sports). This car has been serviced on the dot with no exceptions, i also have v160 in the getrag box. The only bad points are a couple of stone chips, an some slight curbing on the alloys other than that the car is absolutly mint, the car needs to be seen to appreciate its condition. I searched for a manual uk in this condition for a 'LONG' time, so long that i gave up an got an auto instead.......(of coarse, sods law i baught an auto then found this manual pretty much straight away). I was offered £14.5k about 5/6 months ago but wasnt selling for love nor' money so turned it down, what do you guys reckon i could get for this car (baring in mind i am not in a rush to sell). cheers........ sorry about the long dragging post Dan

noticed today the bov seems to be leeking on my uk tt, took it to toyota round the corner to see if was anything to worry about and they said no. Im just after a secound oppinion really cos i dont trust mr t, what do you guys reckon, is it ok to leave like this.(see piccy below) thanks in advance http://s4.photobucket.com/albums/y135/dbr/?action=view&current=DSCN1470.jpg
