http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=18530&highlight=supra+models try this thread, lots of info on models. U cant find many UK cars because they were only made for 3 years in England, 93-96. Imports insurance can vary a lot depending on age and which company, my friend, who is 22, just bought his first import supra and it cost him £850 with elephant with 3 years ncb.

I'd agree, this is what the car was set up for, not what I bought it for, I bought it just for motorway kills:) , but I dont mind it being used.

Have you heard the advert on the radio for Supreme Bodyworks, they say "Insurance companies always tell you where to go to fix your car, but its just not true, it is totally your choice where you want your car to be repaired"

I'd have a go if I was any good at driving round a track, which I dont think I am , have already anhialated (sp?) a 355, AM DB7, brand new Porsche 911 Turbo on way home from bolney ha ha, but round a track it might be a different story coz my car would only be devastating getting well above 100 with a good driver at the helm. I'll happily let Terry have a go if he takes responsibility of his old car for the day, regards Nick

No, I got banned for an sp30, no points, just a straight ban of 28 days, and the lady I spoke to at Liverpool Victoria said anyone who has had any sort of ban can not be insured with them, is that true? thanks Nick

And I had a 28 day ban for an sp30 and they wont quote me, banned 1 month in 8 years of driving and never had an accident but that makes me a bad driver apparently.

ok thanks Ian, much appreciated, regards Nick

Is it as simple as that Ian? honestly, will that solve his problem and stop him worrying about nothing? thanks Nick

My friend owns a TT auto J-spec and he says his handbrake warning light comes up for 10 secs after he floors it from 40-80 say. It doesnt happen every time he floors it but quite frequently. Anyone know what is causing it? auto box fluid? thanks Nick

If I can get the night off work I'll join in for the journey towards southend coz I live near lakeside thanks Nick

This is a very old thread to be ressurected considering I dont actually own that car anymore, Terry Saunders owns it and it has a TRD wing now instead.

well done Dude, proud of ya, and good luck hitting the low 10's/ 9's Nick

Yep Ash I was quite glad that I got a small ban rather than lots of points, lucky me:D

Got 28 day ban a year ago for doing 82 in a 40, £170 fine and no points on license, and insurance never went up a jot. They never even considered the ban until the policy was finished, they said they would keep it on computer but it might only affect my policy at renewal, but it never did.

Where is the lairy shirt dude?

I dont know who, Terry mentioned it to me and I told him I dont mind if he tells anyone because lots of people have the same coloured cars and I dont care about being unique in this way There are some photos here from Bobbeh, taken at Bolney, look half way down this link: http://homepage.ntlworld.com/robert.pogmore/Bolney/Bolney.htm And here is a pic with no sunlight, colour looks very dull without sun:

I'm the purple throbbing monster ha ha. And which three BBS members have been emailing Terry wanting to copy the colour of my car.....naughty, naughty. Nope seriously I told Terry I dont mind if he tells you guys:)

It only looks good in one of the pictures, the red one, thats because it has been significantly lowered, see the amount of gap between the wheels and the arches.

Yeah I could see him eyeing up my turbo, because he's got my cars old, rejected one, and I could see the look of discontent as he surveyed my unpolished engine, shaking his head that I am not using race fuel and running 2 bar (I'm in 'nappy mode' ), good luck with the project dude, are you gonna have it all set up and run in by Ten of the Best 3? regards Nick

Best IMHO without doubt is JPS Motorsport, Milton Keynes area, so not far from South East,

with my clutch control you're probably right dude. What car are you in dude, didnt think yours was fully built yet? TRIG - How do I get to Princess road from the M25 after I go over the QE2 bridge? cheers Nick

sounds good JB, thanks Nick

I live right by Lakeside , is it Thurrock service you are meeting at? 9.45 is fine for me

Trig, are you still meeting at Dartford because I am coming along now, weekend has freed up for me, and if so, what time are you meeting there, regards Nick 0.Barry 1.Branners 2.WSB2 3.andyp 4.Matt Harwood 5.Trig 6.mawby 7.Bigroy 8.HISUPE 9.foodfreak 10.baldy 11.Faye 12.Dude 13.

Nah Terry I'm just messing, I understand your point entirely having been burnt by such a tuner, and without persistence I would have been in a far worse situation. I'm fine thanks Terry, car running well, needed oil exactly when you said it would after 500-600 miles, and good thing is im only doing 120 miles a week so I wont be wrecking her. Got your mobile yet, coz I wanna know how good 3G is before I buy one to reduce my monthl bill.
