They were also delighted to quote me £617 for my Is200, when I rang them to ask why it was that they are wanting more this year for a group 13 Uk car than they did last year for a group 17 import Supra they said that there had been a 40 % price rise. Although I do miss my Supra I was looking forward to hassle free car insurance where I could get a cheap quote anywhere for my boring family saloon, seems thats not the case. Says it all here really http://www.reviewcentre.com/reviews88578.html

Now sold

Plastic headlights from my 94 N/A, good condition, no snapped brackets or bits missing, most probably could do with a refurd due to yellowing, no bulbs fitted. £50 collected only from Sidcup in Kent during the day or Blackheath evenings. I have 4 pictures I can e mail on request, first come first served, if you dibb them they need to be collected within a week please.

Have you checked to make sure the dashpot has enough oil in ? If not the piston will be flapping up and down like a flappy thing.

Blue 1994 Supra Automatic Non Turbo. Rare Blue, I have only ever seen one other this color on the road. First registered in the UK 26.07.2005 with 5 former keepers. Current mot until Jan 2012, taxed to end of 07.11 and I have all the Mot certificates since import. Also fitted with a Toad Cat 1 alarm which I have the certificate for. Odo currently reads 170,000 but the first 2 Mots I have say KM in the box next to the mileage written in biro, speedo reads in MPH but no idea when converter fitted, I assume that the first 2 mots it had were before the speedo converter was fitted and it says Mph on the dials now so I’m thinking on the first 2 mots the tester has written Km as the speedo was still in Km up to that point but I have no way of being sure. I am NOT selling this because there is anything wrong with it, I just don’t want it any more, though at the same time I do ! Never failed to start or ever gone wrong, only had to top the oil up twice since I have owned it. I have had 2 services done, one each February at Mot time. Last year had oil and filter change, brake fluid change, auto fluid change, new dizzy cap and rotor arm, plugs, rear pads, 4 new tyres etc. This year serviced in February, oil change etc and new Ht leads and 2 new rear tyres. Some other odd bills from previous owners plus the Bimta certificate from when it was imported. Recently fitted with new front discs and pads, new anti roll bar bushes front and rear and new drop links front and rear, and brake hoses. Nice set of wheels on it ( I think ) 18 inch Ssrs with 265s on the rear and 235s on the front, also has UK glass headlights I fitted and came with UK front brakes and a Blitz Nurspec R exhaust and k and n panel filter. Also has ripspeed cd player and 4 x infinity kappa speakers. The good bits, it’s a Supra. The rest, going round the car, offside front lower spoiler / bumper slightly pushed in. I have the new alloy strip to fit to bring it back to shape in case the existing cannot be bent back, but have never bothered to fit it. The electric aerial doesn’t go up and down properly. The front pads also click, a common thing with the Uk calipers I understand, it isn’t a problem but its somewhat annoying, never did it before I had the pads replaced last month. Has rear number plate surround thing and fog light in the light cluster in place of one of the reverse lights, I have a set of un-used recently re-gassed boot struts for it, plus a new gear lever top as they tend to wear. Apart from that and a few scratches and one small car shopping trolley ding it’s pretty straight for its age. Interior wise, gear change worn like they do, got the new one but not fitted, electric seat works fine, air con fine as well, has carbon dash cover fitted. Also has rear luggage blind. Loads of pics here http://rides.webshots.com/album/580036027xyHwFR Car is located in Blackheath SE3 postcode, easy to get to from A2, A20 etc, possible viewing during the day in Sidcup. Tax runs out the end of this month, £1800 if I don’t tax it, £1900 if I do

I think they are illegal as retrofit anyway, always have been, even with a headlight with projector beam design 1. The headlamp unit (outer lens, reflector, bulb) shall be type approved to ECE 98 and be "e-marked" to demonstrate this. That can only be done by the headlamp supplier - Hella, Valeo etc. who must test the headlamp in an independent laboratory. 2. Once fitted to the vehicle it must have headlamp cleaning and self-levelling (which can be for the headlamp or can be in the vehicle suspension - some expensive estate cars have "self-levelling suspension" and that is adequate). Also the dipped beam must stay on with the main beam. 3. The headlamp must be maintained in good working order, kept clean, and aligned/adjusted correctly like any other headlamp. Under the Road Traffic Act 1988 it is an offence to supply, fit or use vehicle parts which are not legal. In summary it is not permitted to convert an existing halogen headlamp unit for use with HID bulbs. The entire headlamp unit must be replaced with one designed and approved for use with HID bulbs and it must be installed in accordance with the rules stated above.

It is an Auto

325 or 328, not really intererested in a 320 or 318

Just had new front discs, pads, arb bushes front and rear, drop links front and rear, new brake hoses front and rear, new exhaust to gearbox bracket, new heatshield, Cw stainless front caliper pins, subframe bolts checked.. £2000, bargain, would take £1500 without the glass headlights and the wheels that are on it at the moment. I am going to give it a week then sell the headlights and put the plastic ones back in, sell / swap the wheels for Uk standard 17s then put it on ebay if no one on here wants it.

Excellent, it certainly seems to be, there are some on e bay in the Usa with a list of fitments that does say Na, cannot find any for sale in the Uk though.

I don't think you will ever know unless you have the date and the bill for the converter when it was fitted. I have the Bimta certificate for mine which states how many Km it had on if when it left Japan, but I have no idea when the converter was fitted so no real idea of how many miles it has really done. I would be inclined to think it had been done soon after it got here, but no way of really knowing. I believe, though I am not certain, that some speedo converters change the Mph but leave the Odo counting up in Km, if it has one of them on all the mileage it has done will be in Kilometers if you see what I mean.

Stumbled across this site, has all the pictures with part numbers Like Toyo diy used to, only problem is it's in Russian:( http://www.megazip.ru/ru/auto/toyota/view/452/4041/40776/393394/mode/list Can't quite work out how to find the index yet though.

This has become a bit of an Ocd mission for me, getting this part, even though I know it isn't really needed. I bought 17502-46080 front heat shield which has the nuts fixed to it, and bought the bolts thinking that when the bloke replaced my broken gear box to exhaust bracket it would make the whole job easier as the captive nuts on the sheld would save messing about trying to get the old ones off and he could just cut the old bolts off, put on the new bracket and use the new shield with the captive nuts and the new bolts and gasket 90917-06056 I bought. He told me he couldn't do it as it was the 'wrong size' ? I then assumed the 17502-46080 I had bought must be for a TT which had a bigger bore exhaust. I also assumed that the picture attached which I sent to Steve Manley saying I wanted this part with the ring drawn round it but for an NA was misunderstood and he had sent me one for a TT. It is the assembley 17502b. Having spent literally hours looking to find what the part number of this thing was for an NA I have become more convinced that there is only 1 type which is the 17502-46080 which fits both the TT and the NA and my 'mechanic' said it didn't fit as he didn't fancy doing the job, no idea why as if I had a ramp and the tools I would not hesitate to do the thing myself, with the new shield and the bolts it would be an easy job. On both these pictures it seems to me that the 'downpipe' with the first cat in is obviously different between the TT and the NA, the second section / cat = 17410 is common to both cars, then the rest of the system is different again, so, if that is correct the downpipe / first cat diameter must be the same, making those gaskets shown as 17451 = 90917-06056 common to both TT and NA on that section of the exhaust and part 17502b also the same for both cars ? The one thing that confuses me is that on the picture with the circle on just to the right of that it seems to offer some different options for the NA, the part marked #4. If anyone can confirm what the part number is I would be very grateful as this is the only bit I need before I embark on getting all the bits done to the car that need doing.

Thank you very much.

Searched on here for ages, cannot see the part number for an 1994 NA. Ordered fronts and rears but only got 1 set which are 48815-14090 which I think are the fronts looking at the hole size ? I also ordered a new gear nob but got the overdrive button and wire, a heat sheld but got 2 exhaust gaskets, for a TT ! And the shower is leaking as well, not having a good day today.
