  1. I have a stock intercooler. I'm going to have a look outside. Cheers for your help. Wish me luck!
  2. Where is the intercooler pipe? As soon as I know I'll go and check it out.
  3. No, there's no smoke. Which to be honest I was expecting if the Turbo had gone.
  4. Now I have a serious problem :( I was accelerating away from a junction and my engine went bang! Immediately the engine management light came on and the hazard warning in the middle of the rev counter. Now the car won't rev over 2k else it cuts power completly, but doesn't stall. The engine sounds lumpy on tick over. Does it sound like one of the Turbos has gone? I knew it wasn't right. In this post: http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=149510 But now I think it's game over How much would it cost to replace the turbos? (if that's what it is) I have it booked in at Toyota in Bournemouth tomorrow morning to see what the issue is. Might look elsewhere for parts and fitting.
  5. Ok great. Hopefully the plugs will arrive tomorrow. I'll give it a go. If I do need the coil packs how much do you want for them?
  6. Thanks for your help. I've ordered 6 Denso IK24's. Hope it cures the problem.
  7. Cheers for that. Great help. I'm only running standard boost. I'm sure the plugs were only replaced less than 3000 miles ago. Still i might put some good ones in. What do you reckon to these? NGK Iridium - BKR6EIX-11 They are £5.72 each http://www.ferodo-brakes.co.uk/pages/pricing/applications/NGK-Iridium-IX.asp
  8. If it is the plugs can anyone recommend any good ones?
  9. I've noticed just recently that if I put my foot down over 4k rpm the car seems to misfire and not give full power. It seems very hesitant and juddery. Can this be fixed by just replacing the plugs? I'm no mechanic so any help would be greatly appreciated.
  10. That look amazing! Love that colour!
  11. I love Black Supra's, but given you have a choice of any colour I'm surprised you've gone for a colour so close to a standard colour, especially having seen how it was before.
  12. I need a folding passenger side red door mirror for a pre facelift RZ. If I can I'd like to avoid getting it sprayed
  13. Good effort. I'm definately thinking about doing mine at some point. I'm not 100% sure on the blue, but it looks like you've done a decent job of it! You can use regular car spray paint, but it's worth getting it from a place that can offer you decent nozzles for the cans or get a spray gun. You'll need: Wet and dry sand paper (very fine) Cleaning solvents Adhesive promoter (as you are spraying plastic) Primer Paint (base coat) Laquer Good luck!
  14. Any photos of the strut brace?
  15. Is there a deadline on when you need all payments by?
  16. I pay £721 with Sky, but they will replace all my mods 'like for like' (apparently)
  17. Cheers. For anyone else have a look here: http://www.internetwork.org.uk/led/led.htm
  18. Ok I'm lost. I have ordered the Reverse El-Glo. How easy is it to add led bulbs instead of the regular ones? What is the main benefit? Brighter? I'm all for giving this a go.
  19. That is one nice looking Supra! Wheels really suit it.
  20. I was a graphic designer for 7 years. I prefer the vs, but at the end of the day it's all down to taste.
