  1. Thanks for the heads up, just ordered one now, £109 inc shipping to UK, will see what customs charges I get hit with.
  2. PM on it's way over the suspension
  3. Totally misread that! I saw the ''distance i'm running'' and still assumed he meant a car journey!
  4. I'm assuming you cannot use a USB adaptor for the cigarette lighter? or does your phone draw more power than the Cig lighter would give it? I use the below charger if i'm out and about for a long while, it's not the smallest (about the sames size as the phone, but will give plenty of charges (at least 3 full charges) and so i don't need to keep remembering to charge it back up all the time. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07S829LBX/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 There is a slimmer version of it, with half as much battery power, but will still give a good full charge or two. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Anker-Ultra-Compact-High-Speed-VoltageBoost-Technology/dp/B07QXV6N1B/ref=sr_1_5?dchild=1&keywords=ANKER+POWER+BANK&qid=1620986311&s=electronics&sr=1-5
  5. Not seen any for sale for a good few years, I personally sold a UK bumper with washers attached a couple years back for under £300 (bumper itself needed some work) No idea what value would be for them these days, but the OP should at least be prepared for a high price tag if someone does have them sat around -happy to be proved wrong on that one though! Best bet is to try and repair the ones currently on the car.
  6. I'm afraid you may struggle to get a replacement pair, very hard to come by used and not available new at all, plus if by chance someone does have a pair, be prepared to pay silly money for them! I wonder how easy it is to disassemble the washers themselves and replace the thread that's rusted away with something fabricated?
  7. Classic Line have agreed mine at 25k (NA-TT Aero like yours) and will be pushing for 30k at renewal back end of the year.

    Curry

    I'll do much less colouring in the rice next time, normally just boil the rice with spices and turmeric in the water, fried it first with garlic and ginger and then boiled it down/ steamed it which was much better. The Madras was very nice, possibly a little too much Chilli thrown though in but still managed it. Made the wife a butter chicken as it would have blown her head off!

    Curry

    Thought I'd bump this and throw in my latest attempt, chicken Madras with Pilau rice. Got myself an aluminium pan recently, which does seem to make a difference to the curry. Tried to make a more colourful pilau rice, like my local takeaway does, but may have overdone it with the green food colouring!
  10. Yep, though problem is there'll be a bigger clown that will pay for it! If I ever come to sell the Supra, I think I'll be selling it in bits!
  11. Whilst the warranty issue is certainly true, and would be a nightmare should any part arrive defective, I'd be very interested to see how many people have actually received faulty genuine Toyota parts from amayama or others (even UK sources) I'd say the occurrence is extremely low and so risk is low.
  12. Oh right, so the one near me may still be doing the rounds somewhere Great story on how you came to own it!
  13. Just read this full thread again, never noticed the original pics from years ago when it was Castrol Liveried though. Did you get it from just outside of Hull? I used to regularly pass one very much like it parked in someones front garden, whilst on my way to work (good few years ago now), then one day was gone. I always wondered what happened to it.
  14. Nice looking car, any plans for it?
  15. Certainly the stock grades, quantity and service intervals will remain the same, as for the differing grades and brand recommendations based on power level etc. then i'm not as sure, but can't see there being that much of a change since the thread was posted.
  16. The bumpers don't rust The removable roof section on Aerotops is made of aluminium also, however both the roof and also the bonnet can and will begin to oxidise and bubble up under the paint if the bare aluminium is exposed to the air by the likes of a stone chip etc. and is left untreated.
  17. Another one I sometimes use is a Toyota dealer in Germany, certain parts come out very well priced compared to UK https://ersatzteile-toyota.com/epages/77dfc38f-d96f-46a3-a239-427e75e452a3.mobile/sec231c07e261/?ObjectID=26513596 Not used them since before Brexit though so not sure what import charges will be like now
  18. Not ordered from the recently I'm afraid but have noticed they have done that a few times. Have you tried impex? https://en.impex-jp.com/login.html Website not as good as amayama, but cheaper oftentimes than amayama, have used them a few times over the past couple years without issue
  19. I emailed him a few weeks back and had no response, assuming not?
  20. I've recently bought some 20mm spacers for my 17's that I'm yet to fit. will try to get them on this weekend and get some pictures
  21. Isn't there only 3 VSV's on the turbo side, then 1 on the inlet side? Sounds like you have them all connected up already.
  22. You can sort of see it's location in this pic of mine
