Samsupra

after searching looks like its alrdy been said, Just made it a little more obvious!

Sorry if its already been said, just thought i'd let you lot know you can get ur new call of duty for only 26 quid!! from ur local sainsburys be quick as they offer is only today i believe!!! Sam

So is it definitely coming onto Vodafone? any rough dates? as im wondering whether to just wait or just buy one from O2, but i'd preferably want to stay on vodafone as all my family and gf is on it...hmm decisions!

Yea had quite big spoiler wasnt sure which one, but yea very nice m8, mine shud be back on the road soon cant bloomin wait lol

White supra with nice wide wing on the back, was coming down the dual carraige way to the magic roundabout. Saw you turn left towards Lawn lane. I was in my Aygo so i doubt u would have seen, but very nice supra there! shame i cant drive mine atm Sam

WHY!!!!??!!! even if they stated they can do this " cause they can" makes no sense what so ever another bunch of arrogant americans thinking their the best!

I'd say around 150-200 per month for sunny days and weekends!, but i do like 1000 in my little Aygo, i'd love to drive it everyday but it would kill me in petrol

Hi EncoreWRC i have been speaking to GVN Coachworks last few weeks about my supra to have a paint/body work done and yea i have found it hard a few times to get hold of them. I do keep trying every 20 mins and usually i get to speak to someone but gerald has been dealing with my request. They have been very good with all info and pricing seems to be the best from what i can get at moment so i say just keep trying as ive only heard good things from them and they have been real honest and upfront and really helpful with my request. Sam

I 2nd that Booooo!!

Hi guys noticed thread this morning, My dad is looking to get the new VXR8 i read few reviews on them and only heard good things. My questions is guys has any owned one long enough to see the reliability? also compare power to BPU supra? Cheers Sam

Yea i had my Starlet Glanza's bonnet resprayed privatly from a mate @ bradshaws and it was quality work but i just dont want to fork out another load of money just 2 days getting her back from single install i have spoken to GVN yesterday and sent a series on pics and they are currerntly deciding which is the best way to do this, hopefully i will hear back from them today. So i am gauaging interest in a supra shell now or preferably the just roof, but i doubt i will be able to just buy the roof so any can help me on this front , maybe a scraped supe on which i could get the roof from...? Cheers Sam

Oh rite small world! where abouts? im near apsley, lawn lane. Iv only spoken to my mate at bradshaws so i havnt had a proper quote from them. I have sent pics to a few places, Knight racer, Gvn coachworks to see what they quote me.

Thanks guys for your help, i spoke to a guy at bradshaws and if i was goin to need a new roof which is possible if the dent man cant work wonders, which is think this is beyond his power of bending to get this back, he said its near the 3 grand mark... I live in hemel hempstead so bradshows is nearest... but 3grand (is that figure way out?) is so much, i will contact supraloopy to get a rough quote. I am going to speak to "marc the dent man" and try and get him to look at the car and go from there but even if he was to get most of the dents to a reasonable condition it would still need filler and thats not a good way to fix a roof ? is it? cheers guys Sam

or even in the surrounding counties i need to get a rough quotes and go from there as i may need a new roof and thats not cheap

Hi guys i have used the search button but couldnt find really what im looking for. as in the title i am looking for a good body repair workshop or garage near hertfordshire as im need a some dent repairs on my roof. if any one can point in the right direction of a good body repairer i would be much appreciated cheers Sam

Bump - anyone have any opinions ?

Sorry i forgot to add, they said they do all the compression/leakdown tests on each of their engines before and after install too.

Im not quite sure how to use the link thingy on here so ill re post make it easier for you to copy n paste into a page Sorry http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120446753515&fromMakeTrack=true&ssPageName=VIP:Watchlink:middle:uk Sam

Hi guys Right was searching the net few days ago and came across this supra/aristo engine on ebay from company called Autotek. Now i am a little suspicious of most things on ebay as there is alot of crap out there. This link http://http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120446753515&fromMakeTrack=true&ssPageName=VIP:Watchlink:middle:uk[/url] is the ebay page with the engine as for the moment their website is in construction. They also offer rebuilds at reasonable prices too,they offer warranty and say they used proper toyota parts when replacing parts. So has anyone heard of these? or used them or have any opinions on this ? Cheers guys Sam

Does this not make no sense to you then ricky? Maybe im relaying the info wrong but if you was in my boots what would you do?

Cheers Ricky does help Sorry for the confusion i have just spoken to JPS again and on the leakdown test is it the % of leakeage. The third test, the oil on bore test he said he cranked 35psi through it to get these readings and said this is the % lost through the rings i believe from what i undertsand. He strongly recommended that quite is bad on cyclinder 4 and that really should change rings and probably the vavles. If i was not to do this and leave it and mapp to safe 1bar theres is still a change of blowing the crank seal shafts again plus he could hear air leaking rom inlet and exhuast whilst cranking 4 cyclinder Hope this helps, if not i will try and get more info if needs be If anyone else has experience with this stuff or expert advise it would be greatly appreciated, as my car is sitting in the garage awaiting my decision on what to do, really need help guys Thanks Sam

Thanks Tricky-Ricky been very helpful through this thread. Right ill re post all of the tests clearly Compression test ( done COLD) 1 - 170 2 - 155 3 - 170 4 - 155 5 - 170 6 - 170 LeakDown test ( done DRY - what does this mean? ) 1 - 15 2 - 25 3 - 15 4 - 50 5 - 10 6 - 25 Im unsure what these results mean so if they could be explained and where to go from here or your advise and opinions all welcome:) Lastly the Oil on bore test 1 - 2% 2 - 5% 3 - 2.5% 4 - 25 5 - 0 6 - 0 Hopefull thats made if clearer for you to read guys and yes i notied the 0% on 5 and 6 and i thought that is near impossible? Am i getting done over by this garage? So confused Help! Cheers Sam

Hey guys Got some more bad news:( Rang JPS this morning and my figures for the Leakdown test : L/D test OIL on bore test 1-15 2% 2-25 5% 3-15 2.5% 4-50 25% 5-10 0 6-25 0 The leak down test was done dry, and done twice and came back with the same figures. Now JPS have said this is worse then he expected and really suggests now that i have partial rebuild , they also said he could hear air leaking from the exhaust and inlet. change the rings, home the bores, gaskest and bearings if needed. Now sorry to ask the smae question again.. but from these results what should i do! ? Help please as i really dont know Any advise will be much appreciated Cheers Sam

Thanks for advise guys does help me alot thanks. Tom-If i was to wind the boost up i think i would only go to 1.2 Max(Will that be safe if i only use it occassionanly and not for long ?), still might just leave it at 1 bar. Tricky-Ricky - well thats puts me at ease at litle bit but i wasnt able to ring jps to get the results of the leakdown test but will definately post tomorrow. I did look on this forum when i was looking and none really tempted me till i found mine not on here though. She looks stunning from outside but i think the previouis owner didnt care for as much as i will, she needs a bit of TLC and i think she be running smoothly if i get her out and put some of that system cleaner to clean engine to clear some of the carbon build up? which is best to buy ? Sorry forgot to ask which would be more costly to say if my engine did go, rebuild or buy a gd used TT engine? Cheers guys Sam

Cheers Wkdtime im sure your right i could be stressing over this more then i should or need too, i will update with leakdown figures and the oil test this afternoon once i get a chance to speak to JPS then i can see more specifically where the problem is. So you guys think i would be ok just to leave and go single but keep an eye on the compression every month? Sam
