Nic Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 You should be able to get new OEM Toyota discs for around £70 each. Stick with OEM discs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wez Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 Seriously people come on. Do you really dont want to skimp out on brakes, get some OEM and do that job properly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 It was only £280 for all 4 discs delivered including VAT from Steve Manley in dec 06. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyW Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 Not suggesting he skimps on discs, was just asking what ones he was looking at as the ebay listed ones can range greatly in price and quality. e.g. From this: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/3G-Front-Brake-Discs-Toyota-MKIV-Supra-Uprated-Import_W0QQitemZ350032822797QQihZ022QQcategoryZ23013QQrdZ1QQssPageNameZWD1VQQ_trksidZp1638.m118.l1247QQcmdZViewItem To this: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Toyota-Aristo-Celsior-4-0-Supra-3-0-BRAKE-DISCS-REAR_W0QQitemZ270179454616QQihZ017QQcategoryZ100915QQrdZ1QQssPageNameZWD1VQQ_trksidZp1638.m118.l1247QQcmdZViewItem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like people have said, not any area to skimp on. Edit... Just noticed the ebay ones were front and rear. However opinion still stands on quality of oem discs.

Wez Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 i did clean them but the yellowing is so bad there like the same colour of the car, its the inside that is bad, looks like mustard. I had the same issue, there is an autoglym product for cleaning plastic and I was really suprised how much crap it managed to take off. Too late now I know How much did they sting you for the headlights? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hodge Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 If your skint why did you text me asking to buy some BPU parts and gauges. Wouldnt you be better off spending the money on things that matter such as brakes. Like Wez sais brakes i would say are 1 of the most important parts of the car. Come on Lewis Get a grip.

bmx1lew Posted March 10, 2008 Author Share Posted March 10, 2008 that was last week, Mot was just today and i wasnt aware how much stuff was going to cost me, i was prepaird to pay £400 on a mot and car tax and a light service ie fluid and filter change, leaving me with money for bpu parts, turns out it was the big one for service ie every thing, also there was stuff spotted on mot ie brakes and head lamps leaving me no bpu money, also as my tires are wearing down i found out what it cost for tires on 19s so looking for smaller wheels, and reply to your texts rather then telling me to get a grip on the forum, all i am doing is looking for the best deal for my car and advice which has been taken.

hodge Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 its just my opinion that brakes are more important than decat. I'm sure most on the forum would agree with me. I didn't reply to my text because it was rediculous. You wanted me to take my gauges out of my car and sell you them, eh! I also sorted a really good price out for you from my mate for your timing and aux belts last year but you didn't get back to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not disputing the fact that brakes are more important then decat pipes all i am saying is that, I was trying to get a decat however since then i have had my mot and found out that my cash needs to be spent else where and the cost's were allot more then what i was prepaid to pay. apart from that i asked you if you were selling your gauges as the last time i spoke to you, you told me you would be swapping to defi's so no harm in asking i don't see what's ridiculous about that maybe you should get a grip, apart from that i asked if your selling any thing and you said like what so i asked, you need to chill out John.

Dnk Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 The lass would kill me! Be better than the car killing you and her, dont skimp on the brakes m8 it just isnt worth it, get oe toyota and know your car will stop every time you need it too. Afraid you have to put things in an order of priority and the holiday should be last on your list, or go camping on the cheep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmx1lew Posted March 11, 2008 Author Share Posted March 11, 2008 unfortunately i paid for the holiday before mot so i got owned lol, im not fussed about a holiday tbh that's the down side of having a lass, choosing were to spend your cash, so I've ending up doing 15 days in Singapore and Malaysia, it will more then likely be good though.
