Come on need to see it, phone pics will do:)

free bump:)

And of course Supra has Aristo engine:)

Best of luck Martin Matt

It has gone up £5 it is now £180

Bad news man, some tw*t has been using mine to pay for expensive work to be done to a Japanese car:blink:

Maybe 5 or 10 pounds max, there is a thread in off topic about it

Yes to that, don't think Jody has had many neg comments but the previous employer certainly did, lets hope it all goes well now

Ok so you can ignore last post then:)

It's not when it is registered you will be taxed as above 1.5 l, which at the moment is £175 or £185, £300 is for cars emitting more than 225gm/cm co2 which there is no info for on the supra.If you import a brand new car then it may be different, so you will not be paying £300 tax

I have just phoned DVLA, they tell me that if you imported a car now i.e 3 ltr Supra it would be taxed on engine size i.e £175 currently as it is still 10+ years old and no stated co2 figure for it, good news:)

You will have to ask dvla, give them a ring as i am not sure, the vehicle is over 10 years old and there is no definitive co2 level for it and these tax bands are based on co2, so my previous post may be wrong regarding reg date, just looked on dvla site i would give them a call you may be ok as again i do not see how they can have a co2 figure for it

I think it is when registered, but ne w rules defo only apply to after 1st March 2001, heres this from bbc site Cars registered before 1 March 2001: taxed on engine size; over 1549cc £175 a year, below £110. Cars with petrol engines registered on or after 1 March 2001: taxed in seven tax bands depending on CO2 emissions. Bands A-F apply to all cars registered until a year ago, the new G tax band applies to heavily polluting cars registered on or after 23 March 2006. Different tax rates apply for cars with engines using diesel or alternative fuels.

Yes he is at the extreme end, but it's amazing how it all tots up though, i think the ability to be able to do the mechanics yourself is the greatest gift as labour is the killer in these jobs, which is where i s**t out!

If i had the money and know how i would go single, having the know how appears to be key, after speaking to Steve Sherwood he has spent some £20000 on parts alone and done all the work between himself and the co owner, i think you do need to have at least very good disposable income to keep on top of it all, second decat will have to be max for me now!!!

Well the Aristo post rebuild with it's 86.5mm pistons, denso ik24's and stainless exhaust(both cats still in) made 267 at the hubs, which for a basically stock car i was pleased with, am going for 2nd decat, fcd and walbro and that should be it. I realise there are always questions over dyno figures but as no one in the world has the technology to prove 100% what is definately being put down then it is difficult to prove. When you do a performance mod you should use the same dyno to see if there is a difference. All i know is that toyota state that the car should be around 300bhp fly, my engine is as good as new with slightly bigger pistons and made about 320fly so will do for me, toyotas dyno when they built the engine was probably wrong too:)

As class one said he had never used the race map before, did 695 on standard fuel and map, i loved how he filled her up with race fuel from an army jerry can afterwards for the drive home!!!, he said up until 4000 rpm it was like driving an n/a, did 150 miles on half a tank, after 4000 he said your eyes popped out almost and it scared him, great guy, we did not mean to go this far he said we just wanted a car capable of 200mph that was a good reliable road car too!!!!

MK2 Aristo if you can put up with the uglyness, more toys in it than you can think off and for 10k you could get a good lower mileage one, got 4 doors but you can put up with that http://clubaristo.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=577

What is interesting is that some people at the day who thought their cars were stock got a surprise, for instance Glosphil had a blitz ecu installed which he did not know about, unless you have a thorough look around them you don't know what those Japs have been upto!!!

Great day and thanks to all, Steve Sherwood is a top bloke, the car has been dynoed elsewhere at 850bhp hubs, and he tests it at elvington as he is from Hull, the dyno run was unbelievable and the noise incredible, i was happy with my 267 hub figure in my stock Aristo.Peter Richards, genius he made the cars look new:)

Don't do it Iain you mad man after all you have spent you will be making a big loss, it would be cheaper to borrow £8000!!!, houses are useless you can't drive them

There is no money to be made if there is no global warming threat, i mean they can charge £6 for low power light bulbs, solar panels, hybrid cars etc etc, new products equals big business and is a good political card to play(if we are green they will love us), they don't want us to keep buying petrol and old technology, the earth i'm sure goes in cycles co2 may not help or it may not make much difference, and one day the sun will explode, before that there will probably be another ice age, warming age, and before the sun explodes the super volcanoes may erupt:search: it's all sh**e, and one thing for sure is that most living things breathe in oxygen and exhale c02 as well as emit methane so there is no hope unless we all kill ourselves, then the piles of rotting flesh would probably create so much co2 that it would be hopeless

Yes those interpro boys do a good job and it shows, i have seen this car it is awesome, the second best supra i have ever seen after Ibrar's:)

I thought that myself Jake but i knew someone like you would come up with such a fine statement
