My wife is going to kill me now "Dear I need to spend another £800 on a new set of rims". :d:d I think she'll kick me and the car out. hahaha Cheers guys, very helpful indeed. By the way what's the recommended size for the Supra?

thanks guys you're supra

I did bought it like this, obviously didn't know it was like this. No there are no spacers.

Very hard but safe, right?

My wheels are 255/35/18" and every time there's irregularity on the road or tight cornering the wheels touch the rear arches producing a nothing healthy scraching noise. http://img525.imageshack.us/img525/705/wheels001lc0.th.jpghttp://img143.imageshack.us/img143/4144/wheels002ho4.th.jpghttp://img99.imageshack.us/img99/597/wheels003qu5.th.jpg Every piece of information on how to best solve this matter is much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Ebay is just another place where you can buy stuff, like tesco's, asda or anywhere else. I just think it's preposterous someone charging an unrealistic amount to fit a simple alarm. They don't even care with the fact that I already have the alarm because they are charging me exactly the same as if I hadn't. They should be commercializing their product on their own instead of using dealers to do the sell. There are a lot cheaper, as well as good, alternatives in the market they shouldn't be so fussy about their products.

Contacted Toad and they want to charge me £400 to fit the alarm. This is bloody ridiculous like, I can forget about the bloody live time warranty and pay £50 a homer to do it for me. I can bloody pay 4 alarms by the price they are charging me. I think when I told him it was for a Toyota Supra the numbty might have thought I was loaded, well son I'm not, .

I use Hi5. Same sh*t different smell.

I bought a brand new Toad Ai660 on Ebay (great burgain) but I need an approved Toad installer to install the alarm on my Supra and stamp my warranty. Better would be Aberdeenshire, otherwise anywhere in Scotland will do. Thanks in advance.

I will do it tomorrow, bed time now. Keep the beers cold though.

Hope I understood that, and by the way you owe me a pint http://img156.imageshack.us/img156/6968/sonyerricsonw180i137oa3kz1.th.jpg

That's a beauty.

Just another idea. Bored as well. http://img153.imageshack.us/img153/5152/sonyerricsonw180i137oa3.th.jpghttp://img478.imageshack.us/img478/3144/sonyerricsonw180i127to8.th.jpg

It had a bodykit, which I can't identify because it just passed my on the opposite direction.

Hutcheon St 10.30 am. I was driving my people carrier a beautiful Zafira. hehe

Found this on web search and thought it might be useful for some folks. "I needed to refurb one of my alloy wheels (I need to refurb them all actually) and have 1 spare one so started with that... I got instructions from a friend and this is the first refurb of an alloy wheel I've ever done... Before: http://img406.imageshack.us/img406/5913/alloywheelrefurb1iz3.jpg Although the pics a bit naff, the wheel has: Lots of kerbing, scratches, dents, bubbles in the paint etc. First step: Sand all down with 80, fill dents, scratches, kerbing etc (with david's isopon filler from motorworld), sand 80, then 240: http://img406.imageshack.us/img406/4579/alloywheelrefurb2sandedxs2.jpg ** clean wheel like mad! ** (sugar soap spray is good at removing dirt and grime, or clean in the bath, but be careful not to mark / knacker your bath!) Second step: Spray with hi-build primer: (1 light, 10min wait, 1 heavy coat, 10 min wait, 1 heavy coat - same process for all spraying: primer, paint, lacquer) http://img407.imageshack.us/img407/8132/alloywheelrefurb3primedgm6.jpg Allow to dry over night Third step: Sand wet (with some washing up liquid) 1000 wet n dry, then you can spray with silver spray paint: http://img517.imageshack.us/img517/1949/alloywheelrefurb4sprayefl3.jpg http://img517.imageshack.us/img517/1949/alloywheelrefurb4sprayefl3.1ce02fbd90.jpg Allow to dry (30+ minutes) Forth step: spray with lacquer. http://img517.imageshack.us/img517/9876/alloywheelrefurb5lacquefb3.jpg http://img517.imageshack.us/img517/9876/alloywheelrefurb5lacquefb3.fb0ad503e5.jpg Lessons learnt: - Always test sprays on something else prior to wheel - I had a bad can of lacquer that didn't spray - it just dripped on the paint and melted it away, meaning I had to re-sand / re-spray that area again leaving some small wobbly bits as can be seen in the last pic (I could have resanded down and re-filled but was impatient and didn't want to take it back down to the primer stage). - If you get small hairs in - don't try removing it when wet! This will bodge surrounding area and you'll need to respray / resand / refill area potentially taking it back to primer stage. Apparently it's easier to remove when dry (obviously I learnt the hard way)"

I imported the car myself m8. Just for the thrill. It's home and dirty. http://img515.imageshack.us/img515/9488/1000104ub1.jpg http://img515.imageshack.us/img515/9488/1000104ub1.4e87dc6b70.jpg

The car has arrived yesterday from Japan, is not even road legal yet:p. I have the same opinion as you, it doesn't look nice there.

Damn Santa took nearly 3 months to get here

I'm not sure m8, how can I see if it's meshed?

Abflug type 2

And that too.

Finally my Supra arrived, another Supra cruising in the North-east of Scotland. http://img240.imageshack.us/img240/6039/1000107nb8.jpg All it needs is some TLC

Welcome to the club m8, I prefer manual myself, but some people may prefer auto. It's really up to each person to decide. To me an auto is more economic, right, but also boring to drive.

I will let you see in flesh once I've took care of all paper work. We can drink a couple pints in maybe 2 weeks time. I will even let you touch it HAHAHA.
