  1. No probs at all mate, Nice to see you again after nearly 2 1/2 years! After promising myself not to touch the outside of my car any more, I now want the OEM skirts like yours. Seeing them "in the flesh" has made me realise how much they accentuate the car. Hmm, what to do next..........?
  2. It youi have put into education what you have into your (ex) car- you will fly through.

  4. If its not safe the repairer won't do it!
  5. There are a few on here in the Forces, best of luck in Afghanistan. When I was your age the only thing I knew about Afghanistan was the coats. (Ask someone your parents age )
  6. I can get a Cusco one for £60 (stopper only) Any good? There are cheaper ones, but assume their fitment/rigidity is compromised?
  7. Yeah, and once you've put wheels on you'll want (in no particular order) Interior jobs-seats, dash conversion,etc. bodykit- try and keep stock TT conversion. Trust me, you will Let me know when you're home next, we can have a meet in New Brighton. Be extra careful if you are using your space-saver.
  8. Thanks for that- one of them is going on my shopping list. A mine of info as usual
  9. £420 and £30 pnp http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/18-S-SHARKS-ALLOY-WHEELS-ONLY-TOYOTA-SUPRA_W0QQitemZ120532656287QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CarParts_Acc_Wheels_tyres_Trims_Car_Rims_ET?hash=item1c104e609f £87.26 plis £2.49 pnp -£179.50 http://www.camskill.co.uk/products.php?plid=m61b0s322p2054 £99.82 plus pnp-£204.62 http://www.camskill.co.uk/products.php?plid=m61b0s66p15282 Total £834.12 Above your budget, but you are getting NEW wheels and tyres. Save up for a month or two- Dont be tempted by a cheaper tyre, or wheel for that matter. Study and discuss.................
  10. Motorway driving will hardly have any wear on a normal decent tyre. Loads of guys here use Toyo Proxy/T1S/R888. An expensive tyre, gives excellent grip, but doesn't last long (comparitively) Its horses for courses. What do you want to spend in total?
  11. Cheap tyres are known as "ditchfinders" on here. A Supra is a powerful RWD car (even the NA). I have seen and read many a thread on here with regards to the lack of grip with cheap tyres. They are cheap for a reason- THEY'RE SHITE. If there was one area of your car where you should get the best-whatever- its tyres. Your Civic was a FWD, so tyre wear characteristics are totally different. Do a search on "ZZ3"
  12. Pay the extra £150 for the Avon ZZ3s. TRUST ME. Thats for 4, not each wheel. Does that then fall within your budget? They will fit, probably with the aid of a spigot, which they have poetically described as a "fitting kit" A spigot ensures the wheel sits properly on the hub.
  13. You've got the same brake set up as some stock TTs. AP's will cost a small fortune. Why not go for the optional 4 pot j-spec set up, with braided lines and CW pads?. Doing this yourself will still cost £600 plus, assuming you can get hold of the better calipers.
  14. Theres a few on here with them wheels. Based on that links info, MKIII wheels will not fit a MKIV. If they did it would say so. Wheels £449, say £120 each for rear tyres, £100 per front. Its an expensive business is new wheels Those tyre prices are Falken/Kumho level- DONT be tempted by Wanli/Fullrun/Nexen,etc. Do a search on any potential tyre choice. Maybe tyre prices are better in Germany?
  15. Check my garage. Thats in Newsham Park. (The photos-not my garage )
  16. I,ve got these on mine. This is a bargain, with tyres, tho they're likely to be gash http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/18-KEI-D1-ALLOY-WHEELS-TOYOTA-SUPRA-TYRES_W0QQitemZ120531451990QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CarParts_Acc_Wheels_tyres_Trims_Car_Rims_ET?hash=item1c103c0056 Wheels alone worth £600
  17. Sean, whats your budget? Take a look here http://shop.ebay.co.uk/i.html?_trkparms=65%253A12%257C66%253A2%257C39%253A1%257C72%253A2471&_nkw=supra+wheels&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_sop=3&_sc=1 best to avoid those with "budget performance tyres"
  18. Oh right. Always thought that front indicators had to be visible from the side, hence the angled fitting of pre 96 blobs, and as far outside on the facelift There again, I'm no expert
  19. Not sure if them indicators are legal. Are they visible from the side? (Not the repeaters)
  20. FOC Ring me over weekend 07751 801560 Paul
