    Do you mean is it legal? That duct goes straight into a hole in the airbox. The air filter is getting air and anything else thrown straight at it. I guess in heavy rain the filter might get pretty soggy. At the moment this is how it is all the time. I'm thinking of getting some facelift lights and routing the cold air feed into the bumper opening to be a bit more discreet. It could swallow a pigeon at the moment and make a new home in my air box! Do 100 miles a day for work so am seeing how good on fuel it is. So far it's better than expected.

    Cheers guys. The spoiler goes well with the batman look I think I have some ideas brewing on a new look so I'll keep you in mind if I decide to change it. Will get some videos done shortly.
  4. Yes, the long stip that goes along the top which has the odometer on the left side.
  5. I'm after a replacement circular plate that is behind the steering wheel with the horn terminals on. Also the connector that wires it to the sterring wheel. For a pre facelift Supra, no airbag. Thanks
  6. Looking to replace a worn out upper dash from a pre facelift Supra with another that is in very good condition. Cheers

    Supra V8

    Finally done it! Spent years on and off looking at Supra classified ads, test driving a couple of TT's and generally lurking on this site watching peoples projects develop. I now have RXV8's black V8 Supra. Top guy. Hell of a start to Supra ownership. This is it the evening it arrived.
  8. Those tyres are from Japan, hard compound he said. I forget what brand they were though. I drove like miss daisy after that, not taking any chances. The 2 previous cars I saw were in the dry and had no traction issues. I've read on here to be really careful in the wet. It put me off at the time but the bug to buy one has come back again, hehe. What is missing if it's not a full TRD kit? Any pictures of a car with a full kit on for comparison? Cheers guys
  9. I test drove this car yesterday. It is the 3rd one I've seen now and easily the best so far although it was covered in greasy trim shine inside everywhere to make it look fresh.. Everything seemed to be good, no rust, no knocking, brakes are good (in the wet) but it gave me a scare when the second turbo kicked in it started fish tailing slightly. Testing in drizzle is not ideal and I'm coming from a FWD Celica that I've had for 7 years so RWD is still new to me. Currently it has no UK plates and has not yet been converted to mph but it is wax undersealed. He isn't into a part exchange on my Celica and didn't seem interested in offers, although I also know it has been for sale a long time. This is my dilema though. What are your opinions on this? I really like this car and I've dreamed of a Supra ever since seeing one. I'm considering offering him my limit of 6k but!.. 1. I have a new 5 month baby but we have a 2nd car that my wife drives. 2. The space in the back of the Supra is even less than my Celica, seats but next to no leg room. The child seat actually fits better into the Supra compared to the Celica, can you believe it! 3. The Supra will cost a bit more than the Celica to run, and at work we are yet to get a new contract after the current one expires. So bit of a job risk going on. I'm 31 and I checked my insurance which is either £500 fully comp or £400 tpft on a Jap Supra TT. Maybe this a dream I can't really have, and I'm wondering if I should just stay with what I've got. But I really don't want a boring silver Mondeo which would be the sensible purchase My wife likes the Supra but not the practicality of it. Urgh.
  10. Hi all. This is my first post but I've read quite a bit on this forum and found it very helpful in my search for a Supra. I'm looking for a TT, pre VVTI for about £6k ideally. I've seen two already after reading the buying guide on here and I gave both a very careful look over. Both had rust which bothers me but the engines seemed really good on both models. I plan to see another one at Prodrift in Kent on Friday 10th in the morning and am kindly asking if a mechanically minded enthusiast wouldn't come along to help check things out that I might not pick up on. This one is advertised on Ebay and Pistonheads, has been there for a while already. Most pics are on Ebay: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Toyota-Supra-GZ-Twin-Turbo_W0QQitemZ300296000364QQcmdZViewItemQQptZAutomobiles_UK?hash=item300296000364&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=66%3A2|65%3A7|39%3A1|240%3A1318 Cheers Mike
