    Tokyo Express

    Has anybody been in contact with Duncan from Toyko Express recently? Been trying to get in touch the last few days about a set of wheels I'm purchasing but can't seem to get through
  3. I've been in a similar situation, I earn around the same although being abit older (just turned 22) has helped on the insurance side of things. If you really must have the Supra and don't want to wait a year or two and can afford the car outright then I would go for it, but have a cheap run around for work/running around etc, until you can afford to run the Supra on a permanent basis, using the Supra everyday will only increase milage, devalue the car, cost more on fuel bills and increase the chances of needing replacement parts. Some insurance companies let you insure another vehicle temporarily, I can get my Supra (UK thankfully ) insured for £25 a day if need be, or £1200 a year. I also have a saxo VTS which I use for work etc, paying £500 a year to insure the saxo and can easily afford to run both, and also modify the Supra each month this way. I would find a nice example, be prepared to spend abit more for a mint condition Supra, sell the punto and get a reliable cheap car to run around in, why does it matter what car you use to get around in when you know you've got a nice shiny Supra sitting at home to drive at will? You should make money off the punto which can be kept aside if the Supra happens to need any repair work, and plus you've still got a vehicle to get around in which will allow you to afford to repair/modify/run the Supra, if you can insure the Supra on the temporary scheme to use only weekends/special occasions it would be ideal to keep initial costs down too, although will work out more expensive if you intend to use the Supra regularly It's the route I've taken and within a few months it will have allowed me to have my dream Supra, I'll soon be selling the saxo VTS and getting a cheaper runaround too which will allow me to run the Supra more
  4. Any idea what make the decat is?
  5. I'm getting a Greddy BBC fitted to my 96 UK spec soon, the guide reads: Not More Than: 4.3 V for 93-95 cars; 4.1 V for 96-98 cars Which voltage reading would be correct as I was thinking the 96-98 referred to facelift supras?
  6. I have a standard UK bonnet in red (see pic) available, it's still on the car at the moment though and my replacement TRD is not painted so I'll only swap them over for the right price http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x155/quezxxxx/Photo037.jpg
  7. I've been looking to get a Tanabe "Super Medallion Racing" exhaust system but noticed they've been recently discontinued...is there anywhere that still has some stock of these available? Alternatively, I've been looking at the new "Ultra Medallion" and "Concept G Blue" systems, does anyone have any experience of these systems and how do they compare to the "Super Medallion Racing" system? I have a UK spec and will be going BPU running 1.3 bar boost, I'm looking for the loudest system out of the above with the best gains, thanks
  8. This was bought from Whifbitz as a JZA80 supra BCC, although it's stated as being for a SW20 for an MR2 it still does the same job
  9. Greddy BCC for sale, in box never been fitted. £40 posted.
  10. Looking for a pair of J-spec rear lights in good condition, will swap for my UK spec rear lights (see pic) let me know what price you're looking for, thanks.

    Replicas

    I'm looking to purchase some replica parts in the near future, namely a TRD spolier, TRD bonnet and Top Secret Type 3 front bumper as the genuine items are rather costly. I've seen various companies selling replicas such as Envy, Whifbitz, Knight-racer etc, but is there any varying quality, fitment or design variations between these? I've seen some rather strange looking TRD bonnet replicas where the vents don't replicate the original so I'm trying to avoid this as much as possible. Thanks.
  12. Edit: I'm actually looking for a set of J-spec rears not the facelifts, pics attached
  13. I'm looking to exchange my UK spec glass headlights and UK spec rear lights for the facelift alternatives, both in good condition and exchanged lights must be too, thanks.

    Top Secret bumper

    Thanks for the replies, the type 2 is the bumper in the middle and bottom pics which has smaller indicator holes and the lip is shaped differently, the type 3 is the bumper in the top pic with larger indicator holes, just incase anyone else was wondering
  15. What is the difference between the top secret type II and type III bumpers? Is the only difference the indicator hole size? The bumper with no indicator holes and the white bumper looks as though the lip is slightly lower than the lip with the larger indicator holes which sticks out more and also the nose of the bumper seems to stick out more is this correct and if so which is which? If you look from the side of the bumper you can see one seems to curve downwards while the other one stays straight
