ManwithSupra

No offence in relation to your comment Mate but... since Hammond drove the f1 car on top gear and commented on the fact that the F1 engines tolerances are so exact the engine cannot turn when cold... i just found it funny cos now i have heard this comment hundreds of time lol

I reckon its a dodgy one, lots of adverts on PH are i am afraid. Even if it was a proper advert i would not touch it with a barge pole, probably been in an accident and had serious chassis twist or something like that.... i wouldnt pay £1750 for any car thats of the same or close calibre to the supra.... you know its going to to be a bucket !

Top bunch of people

Worng part of the forum should be in Non-Supra Technical. Sorry that your bro is having issues on with his car

I dont honestly think i have ever had such a good experiance from a garage.... They really know what they are doing when it comes to the supra's, as some of you know i had some issues with my crank pully so i took it to them based on reccomendation from mawby, not only did they rectify the crank pully problem , did a service, changed my rear tyers, replaced a brake line, replaced my cambelt and aux belt, but what really impressed me was the fact he let you know every step of the way. I picked the car up this morning, and its running like a dream, its running so so smooth more importantly no alarming knocking sound and no unwated vibrations, their labour rates and part prices are excellent as well not over priced but just right. I would Highly reccomend them to anyone on here to service or repair the supra they are really good they know alot about the supra's and more importantly they know what they are doing...not once did he come back saying i need to get another person to look at this, he knew what to do straight away....

Is this generaly a good upgrade path for a jspec even if your not bpu? I mean getting uk spec cams?

I bought something off them, and found about this later, luckly i had a "free trial" membership so i cancled it through the website straight away and changed my card number i aint paying £20 a month for the privlaige of a company that has such a bad reputation ... just put "redsave review" in google and you will find hundreds if not thousands of people who have been conned by this....

Cheers i will write a letter - may even get a seismologist and a structural engineers report in to back up my statements.

Ok Not sure if i can do anything about this but.... Basicly we have a "minor" train station at the bottom of our road, and at 11pm every night a loaded freight train goes past and you can feel the house shaking (rumbling on the ground, hearing tv on wall slightly shaking and feeling the shaking when sitting on the sofa -its very noticable) over time this looks like its causing cracks in the plaster in the house (which is worrying) The thing is my wife has owned the house we are living in for a while now before the train station at the end of the road was built (a good 300 yards away and down a hill), now do you think i may be able to get the council to come and repair the damage to our house? as damage is being caused by something out of our control ?

As above really.... http://www.mdklmotors.com/Home.do

Will let you know today if thats ok mate... will this be a case of just replacing the shaft with new shells??

IS this still for sale ?

How much for the crank mate ? can you provide pictures of the Marks as well please? Do you think it will need regrinding?

How much would a new crank cost ? As well as the bearings for the block and Con Rods?

How much are we talking for this?

Yeah i thought about that The only engine i can find that has a warranty and done under 30k miles does not include any of the ancillieries which means it will need to be transferred to the other engine..... which is a pain cos thats more cost... IF it were just a case of swapping the engines stright how much do you reckon we will be looking at?? And on a gut feeling how much extra do you reckon the cost of adding the parts to the new engine.... I have a feeling this is going to turn into a nightmare

Whats a reasonable cost for a garage to take an engine out, and out another in ?? Any idea's?? Just so i know what i may have to include in my costs as i may need to replace my engine

Right - ended up taking to Toyoda Tech due to the weather - they have taken the crank pully off and its not good !! The Crank Pully was very loose and the Woodruff key is badly damaged, but he has said the end of the crank shaft is not damaged, he is going to try and replace the woodruff key but it looks like that a replacement key wont work as he suspects the woodruff key slot has widened but its worth a shot. He has suggested that if this is the case then it is a Crank out job to be taken to a machinist to make another oversized woodruff key for the crank - has this been done before and is it worth it?? I am tempted just to get another engine and be done with it.... i am not happy at all I need some opinions??? i just dont know what to do feeling a little depressed

Does having a working strutbrace actualy make a huge difference?

What wrong with the J-spec cams?? - not being defensive just why would people not want them?

207mph with 2000 revs to go - where is the details of the transmission upgrade then? or perhaps he stuck on a 7th gear and a jet engine (perhaps he did using a old turbo )

Yeah go for it mate - if its a life long dream

Hi Chris, are there any companies that make proper strut braces for the supe - i am looking for more functionality than looks.
