£600 in postage? Did you query that with them?

If you want to “upgrade” the bulbs to LED you want the t5 286 bulb, make sure each side of the push in flat blade only has one metal contact otherwise you will blow the inline fuse.

One fits to heater box on the passenger side and the other to air duct on the drivers side. A clear double sided tape will hold them perfectly. Something like - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Gorilla-Glue-3044101-Heavy-Duty-Mounting/dp/B01FMXKIOM/ref=sr_1_3_sspa?crid=WQ8G34QACF0O&dchild=1&keywords=double+sided+sticking+tape&qid=1621765487&sprefix=Doublesid%2Caps%2C184&sr=8-3-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUFUMDA2VkNTR0FQR1omZW5jcnlwdGVkSWQ9QTAzMDk1MDcxTFRQRlIwVzJQN00mZW5jcnlwdGVkQWRJZD1BMDg4NTEzMDFVUTlGSE9DUEswMlQmd2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGYmYWN0aW9uPWNsaWNrUmVkaXJlY3QmZG9Ob3RMb2dDbGljaz10cnVl

If using royal steering wheels, make sure you use PayPal to cover you. I used them and wouldn’t again but they do seem to have upped their game judging on the comments above. Another option is Hide ‘N’ Seat - http://www.hidenseat.co.uk

Thank you for the update. How do you think this ties in or relates with current pricing and the agreed valuations people are asking for? It seems low in comparison to some of the prices being asked today.

They will be back, I would imagine it’s just a shortage due to what has been happening this past year and a bit.

What compression are you running? Would you run WI?

If it helps 86120-14820 is found in; - MR2 ‘89 - ‘99 - Celica ‘93 - ‘99 - Camry ‘91 - ‘96 - Supra ‘93 - ‘96 - Hilux ‘88 - ‘97

What fault code is it throwing up? Have you got a delimiter fitted?

Not sure in all honesty. My thinking is the Toyota tool will run a Toyota software to work with their ECUs. If the OEM ECU is gone, they probably wouldn’t be compatible. Like trying to get Apple software to work on a Windows machine.

I’ll be honest the aftermarket ECUs scare the bejesus out of me, I have one fitted but wouldn’t be brave to fiddle with mine, that’s what I paid the mapper for. Have you contacted your mapper to see if they can help? You could try contacting Mike, he knows a lot about the Syvecs - https://www.mkivsupra.net/profile/3348-mike2jz/

The Toyota diagnostic tool reads the OEM ECU doesn’t it? James is (I am assuming) running an aftermarket ECU with the single in his signature... Anyway, just a thought that it might not work/be compatible.

I understand that Mike. I get what the old guard (red) do behind the scenes. My gripe is at the lack of change, lack of moderation, lack of consistency, lack of input, lack of progress, lack of interaction, lack of enforcing basic forum rules. I could go on but we have heard this all before. No offence intended but this “working” behind the scenes has become an intrenched patter that is rolled out along with full time jobs, families, hobbies and own businesses. No one is asking for you guys (yellow) to be on 24/7 365 but if a rota and simple moderating duties can’t be worked out between you to maintain a decent forum presence and these reasons are constantly being bought up as a defence, then perhaps people need to stand aside, pass the torch on and allow the forum to flourish rather than continue to add to it’s decline. But some of us love that power just a little too much. What I find amazing is that it is the same mods defending the lack of change and progress and the same mods perceived to not be pulling their weight defending their lack of progress, change and input. No one cares about what you ate for breakfast unless it was a homemade curry from Dunk but how hard is it to pop on and post relevant news stories, scour the net for videos to post. It doesn’t have to be Supra related just automotive.

Wouldn’t they be stiffer competition?

What is it with you lately? Not getting any

You're moving the goalposts so much I don't know where I'm aiming anymore but I'll give it a go. Pot, kettle, black Padawan. I read your post, thoroughly dissected it, then replied to each point in turn. There was nothing selective about it. If Covid was detrimental to traders, which in turn will have a knock on effect on forum activity, why weren’t they being offered a deal? A sweetener to get them onboard during harder times knowing their business could do with a cash injection. Knowing full well their service would be appreciated and used by members so when things were back to normal they could pay a normal rate. Covid was the excuse you made. By your own admission there were a number of non-active traders, some whom no longer offered a benefit to the forum. Well no shit Sherlock, tell us something we didn’t know. It’s the main reason the forum was dead, which is one of the things everyone was complaining about. So you are crediting yourself with what exactly. Prettying up the forum? It’s not about what I want, it’s what is good for the members and the forum. Something that should be at the forefront. After all, forum does mean a public meeting or lecture involving audience discussion. So yes, a section in the paid members part of the forum letting us all know what is going on behind the scenes would be a great way to interact. It would help keep interest alive. Or just stick with “Ghost Mode” and letting us know when decisions have been made on our behalf, the choice is yours. I didn’t say anything about the moderation team, my comment was about PMing ideas to the mod who is in charge of organising the trader section. Essentially doing his job for him. I would hope any members doing this are publicly credited and thanked for doing so. You say I am happy to criticise, while offering nothing in the way of constructive support whilst also masking it as love for the forum. Maybe you need to go back and look at the links I provided to JB’s threads. You don’t see what I or any of the other members that use this forum are hoping to achieve? To keep this place alive and kicking, that’s what. With regards to your offer of a PM, no thanks. I know what messages can be like and perhaps it’s the use of message platforms and other nefarious practices that are causing issues when trying to find traders who want to deal with our forum. ATB it’s great to have a healthy discussion

You know my Aspy/OCD attention to detail dude, not giving anything away and certainly not doing the mods job for them. If they lack the gumption and foresight that isn’t my problem. Sorry Josh but those are the same excuses that have been peddled out for years and being perfectly blunt, it’s bullshit that we are all tired of reading as that excuse wore thin years ago. I don’t believe anyone was suggesting new grease monkeys and no offence intended to Harry but replacing Heckler is hardly an amazing feat. If you have been doing leg work you claim you have then maybe try interacting with the member base by giving the forum feedback on a regular basis with regular updates. This would be a good start rather than playing your cards so close to your chest and hiding in “ghost mode” which is yet another excuse from days gone by when lack of mod presence has been noted. Impact of Covid! How long do you need? This has been ongoing since ‘18 as that is when this change was first muted. As for falling back on Covid, phone calls and email were heavily effected weren’t they. Weeding out the dead wood?! There wasn’t any in the first place which is why the revamp happened as this place is a shell of its former glory and still is. Nothing has changed. Finding new trading blood for the forum should be about thinking outside the box, looking at what is going on the Supra world and listening to members. If you can’t do that then maybe it’s time to hand over the reigns to people who can and who are willing to spend their free time being proactive and showing gumption rather than falling back on old excuses. Why sold anyone be giving you suggestions is beyond me. So you can take the credit for their ideas? Tell you now, that ain’t going to happen. You can feel what you like about a situation but feelings don’t change facts. Why would I or any other of the ten members who stepped forward and offered up free time, who JB listed, continue down this path when no courtesy was ever afforded one of us.

@Tyson It’s not just events. Apart from you there is a complete lack of moderation from the Yellow to Red team. Again! I guess we should be happy that the swap to the new forum has stopped the Viagra spammers and Rolex watch sellers. Some you win, some you loose. No input, no posting, no interaction and no new traders to name a few. How hard is it to spend time looking to find new traders and new services to advertise on the forum... It comes as no surprise you have trouble keeping on top of things (despite the lack of spammers) doing it alone. This is with members reporting posts. There is no-one keeping an eye on the for sale sections to make sure all threads meet the forum standards/rules for posting. This promise of injecting new life into the forum has been ongoing since July ‘18 - https://www.mkivsupra.net/topic/240875-mods-and-events-orgs-refresh/?tab=comments#comment-3479016 Which had a brief resurgence in August ‘19 - https://www.mkivsupra.net/topic/243597-new-mods-and-events-orgs/?tab=comments#comment-3503013 Followed by a gentle reminder in December ‘19 - https://www.mkivsupra.net/topic/244364-new-mods-and-events-orgs/?tab=comments#comment-3508724 That’s coming up three years of inactivity and empty promises...

Gotta keep the love going xxx

That’s a bit racy even for you!

Tim at TB Developments, his is a copy of the Amuse midpipe iirc.

Non vvti or vvti?

Could there be a time limit on editing OP’s, say an hour or so? Then after that the first post is locked with only a mod being able to be the one that can edit things? Then go wake them up Mawbs and whip them into shape. What was the point in promoting the yellow mods if the old guard weren’t able to enjoy their retirement on the yacht!
