    Headlamp

    Need a rubber for driver's side headlamp or whole driver's side headlamp. Lamp condition is not important even broken lamp would be fine Just need the rubber Unfortunately this rubber is not coming as separate part (just spoke to Steve @ Toyota), so maybe someone has old or damaged headlight with the rubber on it

    Front bumper

    Update: no need anymore, sorted
  6. I need standard front bumper for my UK spec. Prefer silver but wouldn't care much as I'm still gonna repaint it P.S. Are Uk spec & Jspec bumpers the same? Would Jspec hold active spoiler mechanism & braket? (I have it fixed in down position due to FMIC, so it is not actually "active" anymore:))

    Bodykits

    Welcome, mate. TBH I would think twice b4 ruine the original supe look I was in the same shoes a year ago - I thought I can't live with original look. After few weeks I've decided that I wouldn't touch it (except fixing spoiler into down position, but it was also due to intalling FMIC) And now I think it looks cool. Also I use my everyday so it is much more practical aswell without low funcy kits. Also with bodykits - you need to make sure that you have decent kit and good bodyshop, otherwise you might end up fixing & it regulary. Well, my 2 p
  9. might be interested if you will take reasonable offer just think £400 is a bit to much for second hand, they are £500 new on eBay
  10. i also have 19" 275x30 & 235x35
  11. Hi Have you got drivers & passengers side window trim (the rubber/plastic bit that runs around the top on the outside) in good condition? (my car is UK spec, don't know whether they are any diffe from Jspec)
  12. i'm inetersted mileage?
  13. It is 6 yrs old! Full test & more pics are here (in Russian unfortunately) http://www.autoreview.ru/new_site/year2001/n08/volga/volga.htm The car is a mixture of BMW 850 & russian Volga GAZ-21P. Nice motor BTW! It took them 17 month to build it & more than £200K.
  14. I've contacted the seller just to ask him where he is got 500bhp from. Guess what the answer is? A: IT's powered by TRD Whats an idiot. I've send him another email asking for dyno proofs as engine bay looks standard. I know he wouldn't have them but just interesting to see his stupid responce
  15. Rear pads for UK spec asap Also would appreciate if someone gives me an idea how much would be front & rear discs as I'm thinking of changing mines (or what else can be done to rusty discs?)
  16. Thx a lot Linda She drove my BPU a lot of times without any probs. She is not really in sport cars but she loves coupes (her best one is new Aston Martin but unfortunately we can't afford one at the moment) and hates 4 door cars or 4x4. I spent a lot of time trying to convince her to get X5 or similar - no chance. I know it is madness to have two sport cars, I wanted something practical. No chance:( She doesn't even want normal Merc C or E class - she tested C200 and said it is too big. CL is too long as well. For most women style & design is much more important than anything else. If it would be something with style of DB9 or Bentley Conti GT but with 100bhp and at decent price - I would grab it But all nice coupes are powerfull. I'm not worrying too much that she wouldn't be able to cope with such power as she is extremely carefull driver. Obviuosly she is not gonna use all potential of that 300-400bhp (well, I will...sometimes;) ) , basically it is just design choice. But if I have to buy an expensive coupe - at least I want it to be reliable enough to do 5-6k miles per annum. I know that Supra is reliable enough...but two Supras out of two on the driveway...just want to have some alternative once per week:d
  17. Are u serious?? I thought that TVR is the most unreliable motor in this country (Year ago I've done some research as wanted to get myself Tuscan. I changed my mind after I've spoken to few TVR owners who said that they've been to garage dozen times with their cars during last 6/12 month) I noticed that a lot 3200's done 50k+ miles in 5-6 years. Does it not mean that they are reliable enough? Or I'm wrong?
  18. Trying to make a final decision on my wife's car. She had company car for a while but now we have to get her a motor. I don't want anything boring here as I might drive it as well Originally she wanted Cooper but I said no f**king way ( 2 reasons - I hate them and can't emagine myself in one in case I need to drive it; 2nd - terrible interior & suspension) Second choice was Boxster but 3.2 is quite pricey for 6-7yrs car, 2.5-2.7 is extremly slow. Also two seater is totally unpractical as sometimes better two have small coupe than 2 seater. I was trying my best to offer her Merc CL & Merc CLK - deffo answer is no. Same with M3s. 911 (996) might be an option but to get decent one now you have to spend 23K+. Max budget is 20K but ideally 15-17k. So after spending a lot of time searching on inet and viewings she said she would consider 3200 GTA (needs auto) Well this is at least something I can imaging myself in in case I need to drive it. I like the look. Question is about the realibility as italians are famous for great engines but poor quality. I will go to test drive a few next week-two. Did anyone had Maserati? How quick it is comp to BPU Supra? I believe they have better traction control than our stock so should be easier to cope with the power. Any comments from people who had experience with Maseratis are welcome I've been to Maserati's forum but it is almost empty. Everyone says there how great Maseratis are but it seems to me that the only other car they had was Rolls-Royce
  19. Thx a lot Homer. Yeah, I know it does need to have uprated autobox wz extra cooling I believe. I was thinking about T61 as max, maybe even T51 How reliable is single as daily driver? I don't do many miles, maybe around 10-12k per annum. Would it be enough to service it just twice a year as I do wz my TT? I don't want her to spend 1/2 year in the garage to replace something
  20. Guys, how much decent Single Turbo Auto can be now picked up for? (Ideally UK one but I don't think there are any of them ) So import. I'm getting bonrng wz my BPU now, so fancy a bit more power. However need Auto, not manual, so target figure is about 550bhp. Was thinking of converting my one (UK TT Auto) but think it might be cheaper option to get already converted one and just sell my off. Need something with good quality conversion as I'm using it as daily driver. What do u think? Is Single Auto realiable enough as daily driver? I'm not too concerned about the fuel bill (it is still cheaper tha to get 996 turbo) but don't want to visit garage every month to replace bits & pieces. Also what is good price for proper converted Single Auto now?
