Hi Im due to get my N/A serviced in the next 2 weeks or so. I have a few questions so that I understand whats going on and so I dont get ripped off...If anyone could help me please id be greatful. I have done about 25000km in the last year or so... Around how much should a basic and full service cost? How long would a these services normally take a mechanic? What parts will be changed/ inspected. Anyone recommend any good places around Surrey/South London?

Saw these on ebay, they seem a bit cheap, dont know if I would trust them... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/TOYOTA-SUPRA-Drilled-Grooved-Brake-Discs-FRONT-NEW_W0QQitemZ300091473688QQcategoryZ23013QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem What do ya guys think about them, i would not mind spending the £99 if they are worth it they are quite cheap.. But as they always say if it looks to good to be true it probs is...

yeah they are, they wont fit anything aftermarket....!!

Ok This is going to sound so stupid but its worth a try... About 1 and a half years ago before I had my supra I was comming back from the David Lloyds gym in raynes park in my mums 1.8t passat....I was on the A3, going towards Tolworth, it was evening about 8-9pm i think, I was talking to my friend about how I cant wait to get a supra in a few months...then I remember looking in the mirror and saw a pair of headlights comming so quick behind me LOOOW to the ground. it was comming so quick up behind me and then pulled over to the right, overtook me and then was swinging in and around other cars....It was a Ferrari f355 or testarosso I cant remember and I got a bit happy, my eyes were fixed on the ferrari and then all of a sudden a Black Supra comes flying past me right behind the Ferrari, I shouted at my friend in the car as i was so excited and nearly had a heart attack, I tried catching them but they were long gone, they took the turnoff for tolworth from the A3, all i remember after that was the sound of the 2 cars in the distance.. That day was a deciding point for me, I took it as a sign, just when I was thinking about a supra a supra comes flying past racing a Ferrari on the A3....That day reinforced my desire to get a Supra.. Was it anyone on here by any chance, I know its been a longgggg while but it would be something to remember.. worth a try aint it... hehe

Im sure I must have seen u a few times around surrey, It wasnt me last night though....I live in Ewell so im always in and around the area..

HAHAHAHHAHAHAHA Copying Vin Diesel

I was round that area around that time, i was going towards oxford street and edgware road...I didnt c any sups tho..

I wasnt looking at anything to specific, just a general question, as im looking to maby change my car next year...I have driven a 1.8t passat before, and one thing i dont like about it is the turbo lag, and lack of power whilst the car turbo is starting to spin the car goes nowhere unless ur in the right gear and rev range.....i have a 1.6 megane aswell and it is more responsive, which I like alot...Obviously I have the NA supra aswell and I love that I have the raw power whenever i need it with no delay..... I had a S2000 for 2 months in the summer as a courtesy car, I absolutly thrashed it, but to be hounest I really didnt like it that much as the main power was in the high rev range and when driving around town it isnt the most comftable car about, if I was in the low rev range and put my foot down the response was nothing like the response in the supra, and it takes its time to get to the 9000k mark, but again the s2000 is a 2.0 and supra 3.0... The cars I have driven are fast but nothin compared to some of the machines that you guys are running, I was thinking maybe about a 350z, as standard is 280-300bhp, however a TT supra is what i was planning on moving up to, I know TT's are 350bhp'ish , i know the M3 is there at 350bhp, but I thats a bit to much money...but would be interesting to hear if anyone has ever driven a M3 and a TT Supra to compare the difference of the engines as they are similar. but lets say we talking about cars with power between 300-400bhp, which would you prefer a turbo'ed car or NA?

You stopped at the lights just before u join the A3, at around 3.50pm today, You were at the front and I drove past u, not sure if u saw my but I gave a thumbs up..

I think flame kits are kind of cool if its on the right car (a real sports car...ie supra and NOT a Fiesta or saxo )...

Hi Btw im NOT comparing the supra NA to TT stock cars here... If you had a choice between a Supra at 350bhp or a Supra Turbo 350bhp, which would it be? and why? I used the supra as an example, it wouldnt have to be a supra, im just trying to see if people prefer NA or Turbo cars. Money would is no factor in this questions, its purely down to performance and driving .

thats me...

Heyyy, thats me about a year ago..

to be hounest the most confusing part and the thing that is bothering me the most is not being able to remember anything after I was hit, I mean with so much going on around me its so weird to think i dont remember anything. I been sitting down tryin to imagine is atleast remember a voice or somthing..I never been knocked out from a crash before, its so weird, i woke up and had cuts all on me and peple looking at me in the ambulance...so weird and scary, didnt know what was wrong...Has anyone here ever been knocked out before in an accident, I normally have such a good memory i just can realise why i can remember some things but not others..

LOOL i know i know hehe, I wasnt able to look at screen yesturday my eyes were hurting to much, even no its a bit irritating, but I got nothing else to do....

ok i tried drawing a diagram of what happened as it is confusing...sorry for drawing i tried my best using laptop...hehe and i dont think the bike hit me head on as i only have main injuries to one side of me and i think managed to jump out the way a bit oh yea the purple line with gaps if my line of walking, the blue line is the bikes.. incase anyone wondering why we never went behind the lorry, the reason is because there was fencing on either side of the zebra crossing, and where we initially crossed we only had to look for traffic coming from one side..

I didnt go into detail in 1st post Jamie, Im not blaming him directly, im just saying he wasnt being as precautius, hey it could have been car and not a bike then I would probs not be here right now. I remember everything upto actually being hit, My last memory is seeing the bike infront of me. I had loads of frienda behind me who saw the accident, and there were loads of witnesses who saw what happened to. I managed to get details from them all. I was being careful when I crossed just abit caught by suprise..I think a supermarket even got cctv footage. I think his helmet was above 85% tinted, beucase it looked black...But to be hounest I cant remember and I dont have any idea of the rules on that, and to be hounest if it was illegal the police would have areested him which they didnt, I was just going by what people told me after but if that lorry was not packed there, I would ahve crossed at the crossing, I really wasnt looking forward to crossing over the road..

Had to cross the road, there was no other way...We got half way and were waiting in the middle, he was comming around 30/40 at the time, its a build up area, shopping centre bus stops and theres alot of kids about, he should have used his head and atleast slowed down when he saw a lorry blocking the crossing as people can suddenly come out,Im sure if he slowed down it would not of been so bad...he may have been able to brake as bikes brakes are better than cars.. I know it was parly my fault aswell where i was crossing, but he SHOULD have stopped at the roundabout when he saw a car already stopped half way in it, but I guess he thought he would jump the car as the gap was small enough, but I was in the gap... But at the end of the day, Im not blaming him for anything, accidents happen after all, I work for a insurance comapany, if anything its the Councils fault, because of the lorry. I mean the crossing has steel fence either side of it and the lorry was up agaisnt the curb blocking the whole lot....so there was no way to cross there..and it was at a road uphill.

yeah I thought they were meant to do a CAT scan to. I asked the nurses, several different ones in casualty (who were not really to bothered), and they said they dont do it anymore and that I should go home and If I start vomitting or get serious syptoms come back.. So basically I have to go home and start vommiting and possibly die from that, and then find a way to get back to hospital before they do a CAT scan... Reason I say I could die is because If i start continuesly vommitting its because of internal bleeding...***beware of Kingston Hospital**

I was walking to go to my supra which I parked in the Asda car park as there no space at uni...Normally me and my friends would use the Pedestrian crossing, but there was a huge lorry that parked across it blocking it...(going to sue council for that) so we crossed across the road near the roundabout. The roundabout was was small though and people are always walking around. We stopped and were waiting for it to be clear, we started crossing when I saw a Audi comming so I told my friends to stop and watch out,...the audi came half way into the road and then stopped to let us go, as a precaution I thought I better check 1 more time to the left before I cross infront of the Audi....To my suprise i see the Bike come speeding up to me... Reason people say its partly his fault is because he was going fast, his helmet was tinted which is meant to be illegal apparently during the day??, and if you were comming onto a roundabout and you saw a car had stopped in the middle, surely you would atleast slow down which this guy didint, and the roundabout is short, if he had been looking properly he would have seen us.. I know it was partly a bit my fault for crossing the road where I was, but its partly the councils fault because they allowed a huge Lorry to block the pedestrian crossing. I think the police took a note of it all. I was so shocked I woke up and was trying to figure out why I wasnt in my supra driving home...I really thought I was dreaming, im thankful im ok though,

yeah the biker went flying to, he sprained his foot, He was even in the ambulance sitting next to me while we were going to the hospital, I remember waking up and looking at him thinking who the hell is he and why is he looking at me....I began to remember afterwards though.. I think the bike was ok to though...

Hey, I was crossing the road the other day and out of nowhere I got wacked by a motorbike. He was commin fast. I was unconcious for about 30 mins, my friends were looking after me and I finally started comming together again in the ambulance....Scary Scary, i thought i was dreaming when I woke up, because I had just come out of a lesson where my teacher was telling us about verhicle safety and how easy it is to knock someone out in a car!!!! So i was really confused and I havnt been knowcked unconcious like that before..I was shouting at the crew in the ambulance because i thought they were apart of my dream lol, I came together after though and apologised Applarently the bike hit me, I rebounded off him went flying in the air and then when I landed I smacked my head on the curb. The last thing i remember though was seeing the bike infront of me...I dont remember any people any shouting absolutly nothing which is very confusing and scary. Im very lucky though, I have no broken bones just cuts all over me, Just been told to take it easy for a week. Most people who saw it said that most people who get hit like that have very serious injuries or die.... I just got some painful headaces got em checked up by the doc and I have tablets for them...And My GF has come from France to see me to Can you believe the hospital didint even want to scan my head for internal bleeding!!! they said they dont do that anyone....

saw u today going towards the A3 at about 8.30 pm, comming from raynes park, i was going in the opposite direction

last night had a beautiful cruise to brighton and back randomly at 11pm......was like a bliss, not to cold, clear roads, I gotta say the supra is such perfect motorway cruiser...pointless 2 hour journey, but still so relaxing...
