    got my 1st supra

    Hellow there Marlowssupra, Have a quick look at the info AndyT gave me on how to upload pictures, just nelow your post in the main list. Very useful indeed.
  2. Envy hey........ Ha Yeah my car is completey factory spec as it left production line very rare to find I believe, I looked long and hard for one this one believe me! Thanks!
  3. AndyT, Thanks for the advise got there in the end .....
  4. ........................................................................................ Hope this works!
  5. Does anyone know why this isn't pulling the image through? I have tried loads of different ways jusy doesn't seem to be having it!
  6. Do they still make the UK Spec Calipers then? I see that I can get them, are they reconditioned units or? I doubt I will change them soon, as I have just bought a set of new wheels, fingers crossed I will be able to put some decent stoppers behind them at some point!
  7. Hiten 55 thanks for that great to hear from ya. Oh lively one hey.......Kinda like the ring thay has to be honest! Glad I can be of some entertainment round here ..........lol
  8. Was planning on getting the car cleaned up the weekend just gone, but had to work unexpectedly unfortunately..........boo hoo! As soon as the car is cleaned up I will post some pics. Pleased to hear from you Tracie Lou cool name too!
  9. Cheers Stevie B...........pleased to meet you buddy!
  10. Hope that I have added to the list correctly!
  11. Might sound excessive, but Im a sucker for good stopping power. Can you change the unit for the UK BMC or is that mege wonga we are talking? Would this be a common upgrade most owners would carry out?
  12. Thanks for that ' Thought I hit the other button but must have missed it' Dou time for some shut eye me thinks ......pleased to meet you!
  13. Got to be RacingHart with Gold Centres for me on a silver bad boy!
  14. Cusco Brake Master Cylinder Brace....ah that sounds good and I must say it does seem to be more of a fade, and only very slightly spongy feel on hard prolonged braking. Again quoting slip road bypass test from motorway speeds with slight late braking intent to test them out to the line. Would never have known or thought of that, the J-Spec Master isn't very good then? Didn't realize they were any different on the UK Spec Master wise! Thats brilliant help, will definately bare you in mind thanks
  15. Sorry to hear about your ride unbelievable isn't it, if I could get my hands on um!!! I practice the same method with all the cars I have owned, park furthest away, but isn't it always the way to come back to your car and find some rusty patchy sprayed white transit parked about 4 inches from your door. I think they have special magnets in them got to be something in it ..........lol
  16. Funny you should say that tyres on back needs replacing as they were making a a drown. Replaced for new on rear, but fronts are Yoko's bit low now, but I reckon they are making a drowning noise too! Could be cheap pads, all services have been carried out including fluid, but was in 2007 Japan? Its fine for normal driving, but what is that you mention GEO?
  17. That's a good shout! I will definately scope for opinions before I invest in anything, in the past I have always done the works on cars, but always do the fundamentally important stuff to ensure there is an excellent grounding for future purchases. Always best to build to a plan hey!!
  18. Im the first owner and the car is as new completely factory specification very rare I believe. Through MOT no worries at all, all appears new on the brakes as they are no lips on discs or anything, and they are still silver clean in appearance too. I don't drive my cars hard at all, just off a slip road this evening up hill too, from say 70 mph, found myself thinking is it going to stop ha. By the way there was no one else on the lights I was trying it out on purpose to see what they were like. Thanks for the view buddy.
  19. Thanks for the heads up on that one! Guess I will be planning well ahead with any spirited driving! LOL I bought a Supra Owners Manual CD from EBay, so hopefully that will detail how to bleed the brakes correctly. Start furthest away and work towards the closest normally, will look for details first just in case its any different. Thanks for your views though on it much appreciated.
  20. Just thought it was worth a mention this just to gather other peoples experience with TT Jap Spec Brakes. New to Supra ownership just came out of an AMG C43 the brakes in that car were absolutely superb!!! The supra standard brakes are very poor, mine are all as new front pads becoming a little low, but still plenty of material left. All my discs are fairly new changed last year in Japan prior to Import have Japanese work sheets detailing the work carried out. They don't inspire any confidence at all! Will be definately upgrading the brakes for sure, Brembos front and rear pehaps (Views/ opinions) they are bloody expensive, probaby paying for the name I would imagine more than anything. Views?
  21. Many Happy Returns (Belated of course)....... sorry to hear about your Birthday Blues!
  22. Apologies everyone for not getting the cleaning done, what's a guy to do hey!! Work, Work, Work........makes my new supra a dull shine ha So far they reckon the Bank Holiday's going to be a wash out, hope they got that wrong.
  23. Yeah I saw this car for sale just a short while back looked good, I remember that the car was going to be sold with a Mag feature supplied. I'm guessing that the car has changed hands agaib since then? Probably got a copy I saved when I was looking to buy myself whilst searching the country.
  24. Cheers Trig (Adam) Sweet looking ride you have there, I see you have done alot of work to your car, I'm sure you will know the best aftermarket kit to use looking at what you have tried and tested over the years Im guessing! Pleased to meet you.
