Maybe its just a typo, just like the gay import bit?

You location says mid wales but you say South Wales. If you are mid to Southish then you are welcome to drive over to mine to put it up on my ramp to have a good nose underneath and have a talk about some things Supra.

Three sets currently listed on eBay, 2 pre-facelift.

This car has been listed for a couple of weeks on eBay as a fresh import with a pending pictures note, pictures posted today. Seller account is a strange one; namuro-jap-imports active since 2007 but only one registered sale item in 9 years. The wheels look to wide for the arches which would normally be a MOT issue. The listing doesn't look right to me but someone may want to go have a look. I did message the seller when first listed but that was never responded to and ad says to call but hasn't got a contact number. Adding to that dodgy feeling. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TOYOTA-SUPRA-RZ-VVTi-TWIN-TURBO-6-SPEED-MANUAL-GETRAG-V161-GEARBOX-FRESH-IMPORT-/172484596513?hash=item2828e21321:g:GV4AAOSw2gxY1jpJ

After seeing what goes on underneath underseal I wouldn't ever get another car undersealed. Its nasty what can go on unseen behind underseal. If its clean underneath why not just hire a ramp once a year and make sure it stays clean by power washing and tackling surface rust as and where it starts. I bought a ramp for myself 2 years ago and the first time I had my cars up there it was several days with each tacking the brown stuff. Just put my 52 year old Mustang on it today and there is nothing to do. Keeping on top of a clean car is easy.

Insurers are generally OK to raise the agreed value limits within reason as they don't do that for free, it does attract a higher premium the higher the agreed value you insure. Having said that I have always used adverts to justify the valuation otherwise you'd usually need to have the car independently valued. So the insured value does need to reflect the market as no insurer will just say yes to give you more money than its worth should the worst happen. Anyone should insure any car for what it would cost to replace and with a rapidly appreciating car its sensible to factor in a certain amount for the following years rise in value. Supra inflation is running around 25% so I'd take a dealer price and add 10% to 15% on renewal. So Marks car would be a stretch sale at £32k but he'd find it hard to replace it with £32k and by this time next year he will probably need to look at insuring it for around £40k at renewal.

It'd be worth getting a km verification and you can buy a report if one isn't being provided by JM seeing 80k km is low. My Supra came over in 1998 as 2 years old with 27,700k km so its of no little wonder that there are so many 30k to 100k km 20+ year Supras for sale in Japan. Sometimes, it seems like my car was the only one that ever had itself driven in Japan. I'd expect JM would have been pushing this out around £14k as they don't take the piss with high mark ups. It's one of the most desirable Supra colours and in my opinion the best that should give you years of trouble free motoring and it'll appreciate nicely to. I'm sure you'll enjoy it immensely.

Seeing you like blue and its not too far from you! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2006-BMW-5-SERIES-2-5-525D-M-SPORT-4DR-/222404156869?hash=item33c8521dc5:g:V~wAAOSwtfhYnI70

Opie are running a 5l + 1l free offer which is a great combination for a Supra. Use code M3C and you'll get 10% off the order as well, till then end of March. I'd go for the 5W-40 myself unless you are doing a lot of track play.

At your time of life, probably a power of attorney would be something to seriously consider. I've just been quoted £250 for a new from scratch will (the kids are now all adults) and £750 to assign a power of attorney.

See you didn't get those shock towers treated and painted yet!

Doesn't happen often but a 'reasonable' priced set of rear LED lights are up on eBay for anyone looking for rear LED lights. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Supra-LED-tail-rear-lights-taillights-2jz-gte-ge-gearbox-engine-turbo-/292061221780?hash=item4400349394:g:zzsAAOSwTM5YxHri

£24,995 for a 100k miles TT Auto from a seller in High Wycombe. What possibly could be wrong. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Toyota-Supra-UK-SPEC-RZ-TWIN-TURBO-FULL-TRIAL-KIT-FULL-TOYOTA-HISTORY-MINT-CAR-/262904173952?hash=item3d364f5580:g:vLcAAOSw4YdY0RS8

Lots of editing on the Ed video, wonder what he was saying that didn't make the cut? It had got a bit too States side dominated, well really a lot to States side. But watched their 67 Mustang Fastback rebuild and ended up importing a 65 Mustang Fastback so it probably raised the knowledge and appeal of American metal over here. Pity it wasn't just franchised to rather than taken over by the Yanks.

That series was so slow. It was like watching the inception, gestation and then oh yes, its born.

Seeing Premium fuel in Japan is 95 RON I've never had any guilt issues filling my Supra up with Sainsbury fuel since 1998.

I just bought the set of brake callipers (front and rear) run in the classifieds on this forum for £100 delivered. So I also recon £100 is about right. Discs and pads are so cheap to buy new and the discs so heavy to post they will probably be scrap parts.

That was the right colour to. It comes down to right place at the right time. Johnny did well with the Chilli purchase just needs to be patient for the parts to bring it to where its going.

Keep hunting.

I'm not sure 60k, 100k or 140k matters on a 20+ year old car. I have a 52 year old car with 38k on the clock, could be 38k, 138k, 238k. When cars get old its the condition and maintenance fastidiousness that matters not a few LEDs than may have been tampered with or may not.

Daiken used mini scroll compressors in the light commercial a/c range when I was involved in that market area but that is about 20 years ago now. Visited their factory in Japan a few times to push oils for their compressors. Assuming nothings changed you don't need to worry where the oil is in the system as the refrigerant will bring it back to the compressor when the compressor runs. From a compressor standpoint it isn't a big deal how they are stood as the internal configuration is designed for how they run.

Clean and cheap aren't usually two words employed together that will entice people to part with their original Supra parts. Probably be best for you to wait for a strip thread and pounce on the frame. I did, but it definitely wasn't cheap.

Its all very straightforward but one thing to remember is you are dealing with council employees. You can either go for outline planning or full planning with aspect and detailed architect plans. You'll presumably be looking at outline seeing you have no intention to build yourself. The first thing to check out is the council online planning portal for other construction applied for in the local area. Any will give you precedence either for rejection or acceptance. Obviously its much more use to have precedence where similar developments in the area have been granted. Look at any objections or comments or restriction and that will tell you what locals and the council planners will agree to and wont agree to. When I put in my original double two storey garage the architect oversized the plans by 25% on the length. Such that it wouldn't actually then fit where the planned build was going to be sited. Architect knew what he was doing, because he had a shed load of experience of dealing with the local planners, as they cut the size down to what we actually wanted and what would fit where it was supposed to fit. But before you bother getting plans drawn up, filling out forms and sending them in with a cheque do the due diligence on planning history in the area first.

It is shouting scam out of the page. I'll put a offer in an let everyone know the Worldpay address to send the money to so it can be collected in Nigeria.

For the p/s pump first up check the fluid level. A little volume drop in the reservoir will make a dramatic its working to its not working difference. Have some Dextron III to hand. Then its down to is the belt tight, with no slippage. If you raise the front wheels and move the wheels from full lock to full lock then you should hear the fluid being pumped plus this will help bleed any vapour lock that may have occurred in the system if the level has been allowed to get a bit lower than desirable. If the fluid is brown or smells burnt it needs changing. Its unusual for the pump to fail so its a lot more likely to be belt slip or fluid related.
