Hay all. One of my jap spec rear calipers is seizing again and looks like it needs replacing. So im after some uk calipers with disks or some after market rear brakes. Let me know if anyone has any Thanks Paul

Yer is a subject iv never been sure with supras. I think people should post a pic up of there supra with tints

I was happy with mine, i got all mods declared @ 25 and 3 points around £700

awsome dude!

After giving my Reg to them it came up with 3 options. PM'ed Jamie.

Hi mate im not goin for OEM, Beds BAt can get one for £122 for me. Had starters from them before and always been good.

any idea peps?

Hay all. Hope everyone is ok. I have a starter motor issue thats been tempramental forover a year. Sometimes take a while to get the engine to turn over as the starter just clicks and then it works fine for months. I had a thread on this before so we all know its the starter and they can be refurbed but im just goin to buy a new one and be done with it. I called up my trusty local motorfactor (Bedford Battery Co. Ltd, very good service and parts they do have always been great) and they can get a starter for my Supra next day but they said there are a few options, possiably 3 if i remember correctly. He said that he will need to check what the numbers are on the starter to make sure he can get the correct one. Does anyone know what on it will be for mine? Like what the most common one was i.e: part number etc.. Its a 1993, TT, Import, Manual Supra MK4 (non VVTI) Thanks Paul

looks nice Jurgan im sure it will go in no time at all

mine are gloss black and i got my local graphics maker to do my caliper stickers, this will give you an idea of what black looks like:

lol who is this guy, a nut jon or sumin? lol either way dude car looks nice, can see why your excited

Yer as i said.. Im just glad it didnt go while i was driving, especially as i was dowing 170 the nite before.. On a track of coarse... If if it went then not a chance the engine would have servived.. Your rite scott in saying i dont really need one hense why im not bothering with one now..

Sky were pretty good with mine and all mods declaired..

Tempory insurance. I used them a while back. Wasl like £50 a week though

Ok been a tuff few weeks with the amount of bad luck, and as from one of my previous threads saying I was going to sell the supra, I thought id share my experience that made me feel this way about the car (that I can be proud to say i just cant let it go) A few weeks ago i took my car to Advanced Motorsport (very helpful and nice chaps) to meet them and while i was there get an oil change and a new AEM water injection connector. All good fine and dandy. On my last day of my week off i got up to drive to Miltern Keynes. As i approuched my car i noticed my front wheel was covered in engine oil. I mean COVERED so much that in the inner part of the wheel had a puddle of it. So i called my mate up at his garage and he said to pop it down to him. Checked my oil level, seemed enough to get me the 4 miles, on the way my oil level worning light came on but made it just in time. We ordered the oil and filled her up. Me and my mate were looking everywere for this leak and couldnt find. Turned her on to see if we could see a leek anywere. Obviuosly at this point my blame was advanced motorsport thinking the new filter was put on dodgy but that was all ok and the work they did was fine. As we lowered the car on the ramp i looked at my oil cooler through my bumper (engine still on) and one pipe from the 90 degree connector didnt look rite (but wasnt leaking) my mate fether touched it BAM came off and oil went EVERYWERE including all over him. So we at least know its a good oil pump lol. So with the poorly pressed pipe that i had fitted just over a year ago i had to get made up again. But as de tryed to undo the 90 degree adaper it was so so overtightened and what looking like super glue on the threads snapped my oiler :-( (The cooler wasnt fitted my Advanced Motorsport nor Whifbitz) but a company i dont use anymore due to problems iv had including writing one side of my car off last year from it rolling off the bloody ramp!!!!! So needed new oil line and cooler. So bought a new cooler via my mate at Backdraft Motorsport (great company of your involed with VAG or Ferrari) and got the line from a hydrolic componant compant near me (very high quality) So drove up to Backdraft Motorsport so use my mates place to fit the cooler. Had the light out, HID kit out etc etc.. To find that the the new pipe was the wrong size to the cooler, i got it wrong, i dont know how but i did! As you can imagine i was pretty pissed off. Ok so next day off came along i picked a 1/2" to 5 8th adapter, went to mine, head light out etc ect. To find that i hadnt got it wrong but the new cooler had smaller connectors to the last one as the orignal pipe that was fine didnt fit!! A week later on my day off i fitted my new oil cooler. All connections were good. Making new brackets fitting it lower and was happywith the work i had just done : http://img33.imageshack.us/img33/4008/20110215001.jpg http://img64.imageshack.us/img64/7302/20110215002.jpg But sadly with the supras oil filter being a bitch to get to i struggled getting to is as i was doing this work on my drive was using the standard sissor jack that comes with the car. So went to my mate garage so they can fit the sandwich wedge and filer back on for me. A bit later (they stayed an hour late for me) all was fitted, time to start the car and check for leaks! AND CAN YOU BELIVE IT, A FAULTY COOLER!! IT WAS LEAKING FROM BOTH SIDES!! Were they press on the male connetors it was leaking and i found a small hole in the cooler!!!! Now at this point i nearly spontaneously combusted... But they only answer was remove the sandwich wedge fit on the oil filter and i will remove the cooler that took me 1/2 a day making brackets and relocating. So after all that £90 for top grade oil change at Advanced Motorsport £160 for all the oil we used the day the pipe came off £90 for adapters and new oil pipe £70 for the new mocal cooler £70 fitting cooler edge and then removing it again as the cooler was faulty So that £480 + petrol + a shed load of wasted time not to have anyting done! Plus the fact of having the cooler fitted just over a year ago must have been avout £350ish So thats my oil cooler disaster story! I will hopefully be getting a full refund from mocal so thats £70 and then but these really nice oil lines with sandwich wedge on the bay so at least £60. But what a waste of money especialy with hard times... On a plus side i was happy that pipe didnt come off while driving my car or it would have ruined the engine.. Thanks for reading if you got through it lol

i think its an amazing car i think atm merc are on the ball

Lets face it... its Jag will they make it? Most probley not lol

I looked at the XS kits and iv gone off them,
