Just after the bog standard stereo that came with the 97 supe out of the factory, its for a J-spec if it makes any difference, not sure if they came with cd player or not? Also, could someone post a picture of the unit if one is available please

I'm after the little red thing too

Ah cheers matey, so it looks like i can drive her then, as long as i get the letter.

Nope, they say I have to go to Wimbledon to get one and pay a fee. Wimbledon isnt that close to me and I object to doing GM's work for them.

Well, I'm abit ticked off with GM Honda, whom i bought the Supe from. Picked her up last tuesday and i was all smiles until i got home and noticed that there was no tax disc with the car (this had been promised to be sorted before i picked the car up). Several phone calls later to the person that dealt with the sale and she says that it has been taxed and she will forward the disc on to me asap. A week later and a call to the DVLA, they tell me that the car has been taxed and the disc was issued before i picked up the car. New call to GM Honda yesterday asking what was being done about this, since the let me drive off the forecourt illegally and the car is just sitting in my garage unable to be used. I was told "the woman who deals with tax and your car is on holiday for a couple of weeks, there is nothing we can do, but i'll ask around and see if we have got it". The phone call i was expecting never comes. This is my problem, I am not willing to use the car without tax and take a hefty fine, and GM Honda have made it pretty clear they arent going to do anything for 2 weeks. From what i've read I believe that they are failing under the sale of goods act for misrepresenting the car - being taxed when it has no disc and then selling it to me despite being told it would be done. What do I do? Trading standards? Demand my money back and have them transport it back Demand my expenses back as well since i put £72 worth of petrol in her to get home. Any ideas where i stand guys? Cheers in advance

rofl, i shall get some photos up once i've got her back home

lol i'm prepared, andrex shall be my first passenger

hahah i could but its in Thurrock, long way away and i got no car atm, so till me mate comes round i'm trapped in the house, gtot a J-spec TT auto. Thinkn i'm gonna wet meself lol

Just about to leave to go and pick up the Supe. This is worse than that feeling at Christmas, i cant seem to decide whether to run around the house or sit and watch tele!!!!!!

As above chaps, which alloys are on this Supe? Absolutely love em: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1993-Toyota_W0QQitemZ170207192650QQihZ007QQcategoryZ18290QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Thanks, Dave Gonna pick my new baby up tommorow so will get some pics up asap.

Hiya, just sold my MR2 on autotrader, and it flatly refused to let me do what i wanted as well, i just left it in the end, not a useful reply i know

I've had a MR2 for a year recently, sold to get the Supra, and i had a mx-5 before that. Way too hairdresser. MX-5 handles well, but so does the MR2, and the MR2 looks sleek and sexy, the MX5 is just dull, and every other car i see is an MX-5, way too common

lol!

rofl very funny, i particularly like the terrorism

Unsure if it's just me but all i get is a small box with a red cross in it

and someone has finally bought one lol http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/REAL-Performance-Chip-TOYOTA-CAMRY-CELICA-SUPRA-40-BHP_W0QQitemZ350040553816QQihZ022QQcategoryZ32094QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Own up, who was it?

Cheers for the info guys, i shall get a sniffer done on it I'm sure your right though, probably just water from being left standing for ages

I live in Caterham, but i loved going to all the MR2 meets, and I have some nice memories of Boxhill, and its good on Sundays when all the bikers show out as well

Well, i've gotta sell the MR2 to make space for her, so I dont think it will take me long to get rid of her because shes a minter, a bit less demand for auto 2's but i'm not worried. Then the day she is gone i'll go fetch the Supra. Never driven a Turbo car before, when i took her out for a test drive it was insane, acceleration completely blew me away. The dealer can pay the laundry bill for my new trousers when i pick her up lol

Aaaaaaahaaaaaa, whereabouts is this event at? I'd come along to watch rather than to get it dyno'd, she's stock so i know what she roughly puts out Oooooh, did anyone from here attend Boxhill a couple of weeks ago, i went with MR2OC but spied a few supra's lurking. Colourwise alas, she is in Silver, but we all know thats the fastest colour

Well, it looked to be a professional outfit, and i went up to the Honda place that the chap said would do the work and they confirmed that all their work is warranted and that they do work on non-honda cars for the place i bought her off, because the same guy owns the dealership and the trade place i got the supra from. The bonus is that i've got it on the sales receipt that they signed and dated that they agree to do all the work i asked them to do, specifically the headgasket

Evening All My name's Dave, 22, just bought a 96 Import TT Auto. Looking forward to picking her up soon once i've sold my current ride: http://img142.imageshack.us/img142/7869/dscf0698jn8.th.jpg I look forward to coming along to a few meets in the future and getting to know you all. Rest assured at some point I will need advice but for the time being I just want to enjoy her in her stock form, she's the first Turbo car i've driven/owned. All the best chaps!!!!! Dave

Ah ok, it didn't really occur to me that it could just be condensation, she was sat in Japan for a couple of months waiting to be imported the chap said, so that could well be the reason. It does come with a 12 month warranty as standard from the place, however any bills that are over £500 I have to pay the difference. As I say, not a single scratch on here anywhere, even the undertrays are immaculate. Haha I have a MR2 n/a as my daily drive at the moment and i nearly brown trousered it when the boost kicked in on the test drive. I thought i was watching the rev counter shoot up at that insane speed, but it was speedo. Many Thanks Dave

Hi Guys, My first post so please be gentle! I just put a good deposit down on a 96 Import TT Auto. She's a real minter, like she's just come off the production line. My problem as you may have guessed is that the oil filler cap had a fair amount of mayo on it. My mind automatically thought headgasket. She's only done 70k miles and is really smooth and drives as expected, with both turbo's functioning as expected. I've asked the place that is selling it to replace the head gasket before i give them the rest, which has been agreed. Basically the place i've bought it off is owned by a guy who owns a Honda dealership so there shouldn't be a problem with them doing it. Question is, how can i tell if they have done it? The only way i think i can tell is if i clean off the mayo from the cap and see if it reappears. If i take it to my local Mr T presumably they can tell me if its been done? Question 2 is, am i likely to have any trouble with it being on its second HG? As i say she is a real minter just abit worried if the engine is buggered, but she drive perfectly and felt like she should Cheers in advance, will get some photos up when i pick her up.
