TLicense Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 Ahhhh gutted for you Paul. I also know how you feel! Similarly I'd not heard of either the cambelt tensioner bracket nor a oil pump failing in that way. When it's going wrong - it all goes wrong!

SupraDan24 Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 When's your Time Attack run at Snetterton Paul? There's a few member's including myself that only live less than an hour from there, i could organise a mini meet to show some Supra support?
