  1. Any tyre place should be able to show you an old tyre they have removed to give you a rough idea of the look. You could go for a 35 profile on the front and rear but I wouldn’t recommend it as the Supra suspension can't cope with lower profiles. If running a 35 expect it the car not to handle as well and to feel everything you drive over. 40 will make a much more comfortable ride and importantly make the car more predictable. As for a square set up, yes same width front and back.
  2. Please don’t take this the wrong way but why are you looking to add cheap part worn tyres to the car? What is your budget for new tyres? As for size, 245/40/18 or 255/40/18 for the front and 265/40/18 or 275/40/18 for the rear. For the record I think you are mad for fitting a square set up and those wheels to a Supra.

  3. I’d take a gander on Amayama then add on 25% - 50% to get a UK Toyota price! Impex might be worth another try, their prices are sometimes better than Amayama but the down side is that they only accept payment in USD or JPY iirc.
  4. I have only ever seen these for sale state side. A new pulley isn’t too expensive to buy, it’s part number 13050-46010 if you are interested. E2A You could try these guys if you know the specs - https://simplybearings.co.uk/shop/Seals-Products-O-Ring-Seals/c19_4747_4515/index.html
  5. Have you looked at Michelin, specifically the Michelin Pilot Sport 4 PS4? I would also look at putting a 40 on the rear and a 40 on the front if your car isn’t excessively low.
  6. Testing the concept at the Nordschleife. Some new pictures from down under - https://www.supramkv.com/threads/a90-supra-gr-concept-comes-down-under.1349/ and a video below.

  7. If the current owner/trader isn’t any good at maths it might be. 147000 KM isn’t 88000 miles.
  8. ^ Care to elaborate for anyone reading this thread?
  9. Didn’t oilman provide the forum recommendations based on his knowledge and understanding?
  10. The Millers Oils Nanodrive CFS 10w-50 NT+ is supposed to have a VI of 177 and HTHS of 4.80.
  11. This one at a guess - https://www.opieoils.co.uk/p-115239-millers-oils-nanodrive-cfs-10w-50-nt-full-synthetic-engine-oil.aspx
  12. Have you spoken to DavidP the autobox wizzard about this?
  13. Already been discussed, there are a lot of parts that don’t make it a genuine replica. Someone is trying to make a fast buck, if I remember correctly the seller was asking over 30K at be point.
  14. I used long reach long nosed pliers.
  15. His advert reads like the ones relentless write on their adverts. Maybe it’s the same seller diversifying
  16. Yes, Nigel Boyne. Here - http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?348643-UK-supra-6speed-bpu
  17. Polite friendly comments are unnecessary?! You imbecile. If that hurt your fragile nature I suggest you go find your backbone and grow a pair!
  18. I think you mean we need a Hovis shot!
  19. Auto is the way forward. The 6 speed has a notchy, agricultural gear change and a heavy clutch pedal. Poorly treated ones have an awful gear change and are expensive to fix.
  20. In a word no. Unfortunately it’s the nature of the beast and main reason many won’t go for an anodised wheel. Damage is mucho £££’s to repair. See here - http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?343633-Anodised-Work-wheels-scratched-by-Mr-Tyre-fitter It all depends how much you like the colour, if they are 18’s you could get them all stripped and repainted by a reputable company for £400 give or take.
