Those rear bars get as bad on the inside as the outside. You might want to consider doing a Dinitrol wax spray inside that will stabilise corrosion and dries leaving a protective wax coat. It comes with a really long diffused spray pattern straw so you can get spraying in far away very inaccessible places. Seeing all those nuts and bolts made me feel queasy. You'll probably find all the bolts come out easy without any need to WD40. The only ones I ever found issues with was where the head of the bolts had corroded badly. Then I had to resort to welding on globs of metal or in the very worst cases a left hand carbide drill. I expect you'll be surprised how easily things come apart though. At least your tank breather pipe is intact, they can sit in fine damp soil to the left of the rubber and rust away. Yours does look a little pitted. These are discontinued so a self build replacement would be needed if it had snapped. I'd recommend sanding it down and clear coating it while you have the tank off to keep the original vent tube going for a good while longer.

Check your kick panel fuse box, 7.5A fuse for the turn signals which I believe is the 3rd one from the left second row down. The hazard lights may be on a separate fuse? Then you are down to the actual switch gear. If you suspect its the actual switch at fault I and I'm sure a few others have these in their spare parts store so it shouldn't be a financial ball breaker.

It's got to be moving from a hold towards a soft buy, the current pricing is still quite a bit over the possible floor price of around $16k for BC with the basement price being zero. Bitcoin Price Predictions There are a handful of Bitcoin price predictions made for the mid to long term, or with no time scale at all, that are still standing today. Here are some of the most exciting predictions from Bitcoin’s most legendary evangelists. Shervin Pishevar – $100,000 (by 2022) @shervin Shervin Pishevar is a venture capitalist and angel investor who co-founded Hyperloop One and Sherpa Capital. He has also made investments in several companies including big names such as AirBnb and Uber. Pishevar has called for Bitcoin to reach $100,000 by the end of 2021 via Twitter. The prediction came not long after a December 2020 meeting with MicroStrategy CEO Michael Saylor, whose company invested more than $1 billion in Bitcoin during 2020. Given his meeting with Saylor and his previous predictions of a decline in the US economy, it’s no surprise that Pishevar has become bullish on Bitcoin. Thomas Fitzpatrick – $318,000 (by 2022) Thomas Fitzpatrick Citibank’s Thomas Fitzpatrick is the global head of their market insights product, CitiFX Technicals. He made headlines for his Bitcoin prediction of $318,000 by 2022, which surfaced after his report was leaked onto the internet in late 2020. His analysis drew similarities between the gold market of the 1970s and Bitcoin’s price action, in particular gold’s $20 to $35 range before its surge in 1971. He also cited the acceleration in money-printing by central banks since the emergence of COVID-19, which may fuel the Bitcoin run. Winklevoss Twins – $500,000 (by 2030) @tylerwinklevoss Winklevoss twins – the famous Bitcoin billionaires have said Bitcoin has the potential to reach a price of $500,000 by 2030, which would put its market cap on par with that of gold (around $9 trillion). Tyler Winklevoss said, “Our thesis is that bitcoin is gold 2.0, that it will disrupt gold, and if it does that, it has to have a market cap of 9 trillion, so we think it could price one day at $US500,000 of bitcoin.” The prediction has been explained in full detail in a blog post by Tyler on their website. Anthony Pompliano – $250,000 (by 2022) @APompliano Anthony Pompliano is a well-known Bitcoin personality. He’s a founder and partner at Morgan Creek Digital, a crypto-friendly asset management firm for institutional investors. He has previously claimed that he holds more than 50% of his net worth in Bitcoin, showing his belief in the cryptocurrency. Pompliano previously predicted that Bitcoin will hit $100,000 by the end of December 2021. Since then, he has revised the figure to an upper limit of $250,000 – more than double his original prediction. Why the updated number? Pompalino believes the available supply of Bitcoin is much less than is perceived by most, which lies in stark contrast to the amount of demand that is beginning to precipitate – in particular by institutions. Along with many others, Pomp also talks about the US Federal Reserve pursuing aggressive quantitative easing and keeping interest rates low, leading to flight to safe-haven assets.

There has been reports of a shortage of diesel in the system so expect big rises in that fuel some time soon. USA is down to 3 weeks diesel supply, here is probably a little higher but UK diesel storage figures were last available in 2019 when they were 10 weeks supply. Diesel is the one fuel forecast to head for the hills in the coming weeks from its current UK average of 1.90/l. Its making my and anyone else's bulk storage option look a sound and improving investment by the day.

With the USA debt a big chunk is car lease. No one in a job actually buys a car in America and they pretty much all do a new trade in every 2 years. When I was living there it always amazed me that people earning $150k a year were still doing usually 2 cars on rolling finance. There are many tube vloggers that recon it'll be the car finance market that collapses banking before mortgage defaults get a look in.

Its all part of the WEF global masterplan with the Soros funded politicians at the helm. Its a global phenomena I'm afraid so no place to hide, in or out of the sun. It was reported in Spring that there are at least 104 World Economic Forum (“WEF”) Young Global Leaders embedded in British institutions, charities, and companies. Liz Truss is recorded as yet another young global leader graduate of the WEF. Big business are our unappointed leaders operating behind their puppet politicians everywhere. It is a project thirty years in the making that is due to mature by 2030. Best buy a remote island somewhere, that worked for Richard Branson.

The UK registration process is really easy. Just VIN insure the car, get a MOT certificate and filling in a V55 sending off your fresh VIN MOT certificate and customs tax letter. Then a few days later you get a new registration, keepers document and MOT certificate. A doddle.

This is one to test the market, 5k mile 2002 TT6. https://rmsothebys.com/en/auctions/lf22/london/lots/r0006-2002-toyota-supra-rz-s-twin-turbo/1288163 As a PS - Should anyone be interested in bidding there are a few add ons to be aware of: "Please note this lot has entered the UK on a temporary import bond, which must be cancelled either by exporting the lot outside of the UK on an approved Bill of Lading with supporting customs documentation or by paying the applicable VAT and import duties to have the lot remain in the UK." So its hammer price plus 15% buyers premium plus VAT on the buyers premium plus UK 20% VAT on the sales price plus 10% import duty on the sales price. So just add 50% to the sales price and you won't be far off. Then it'd need to be made MOT ready and V55 register which companies typically charge £1k to do for you or you can DIY for around £200. SOLD for £69k + fees

Not a tracker but thieves are apparently very keen on employing Apple or Samsung tags. Cost around £30 and very easily secreted with a bit of duct taping behind some trim and have 1 year (replaceable) battery life. Thieves use these to find out where target vehicles are parked up overnight so they can then go pay a visit.

I took my Supra along to my very local classic car show this Summer and there were boys of all ages from 10 years up crawling all over it. I let anyone who wanted to sit in the car and have their pictures taken and there were plenty who did. The good thing for Supra owners is this means the Supra will still be relevant in 40 years time whereas most of the enthusiasm for the vast bulk of cars there at the show, a good many that had me drooling, will have literally died away in the next 20 years. My early 20's daughter has demanded I hand the car over to her, its been a constant part of the family for all of her life so she will very likely get her wish fulfilled one day.

Easiest fix would be to insert a 15mm spacer which is essentially just an aluminium disc with the diff flange holes drilled. Its a common fix applied by the landy crowd when they mess around with the set ups. https://cdn.devon4x4.com/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/363x/040ec09b1e35df139433887a97daa66f/d/a/da6339_situ.jpg

Be worth removing the rear bar bushes and taking a pic as that is the point where the bars wear and snap. Always interesting to note Supra inflation in action as the pair of bars new were £260 when last available. I think the front bar may still be available.

Never heard this myself. Only ever been shouted at once from the driver of another car asking is that a twin turbo followed by is it a manual. There was another instance when a sweet young girl sat in the car alongside told me that my car happened to be her boyfriends favourite car. I told her it has been an amazing car but to tell her boyfriend that a lovely girlfriend beats an amazing car every day, she really loved that so there was then one happy girlfriend and happy boyfriend in one car together. You can never spread too much happiness.

I doubt it'd be a belt tensioner bearings failed at 2k miles if it was an OEM part. I recently had my original tensioner changed after 110k miles for no other reason that why not. The main issue with the tensioner is when garages forget to replace the spacer behind it and the belt walks. You would usually see some sign of wear on the lip of the belt due to cover rubbing if you have that particular issue.

There are loads of restaurants in China Town, I've never had a bad meal there even in places that look like transport cafes. Be careful what you wish to emulate. I've had meals in Shanghai hotels that cost £100's. So you wont compete on exclusivity or ambiance, a China Town transport café might just tick the tasty and different box. Chinese colleagues I've known tend to particularly like American food, burgers more than steaks so you might win by going to an upmarket burger place.

Plenty of us long term owners aren't getting any younger. I'll pass my car on when I can no longer flop in and roll out of it. My youngest daughter who is a confirmed petrol head is salivating at the prospect of being gifted my Supra.

I come across a lot of plain stupid 'Supra' ads online so figured I'll start a thread where all the stupidity can be shared in one place.

Looks like Denso have no plans to restock on the Supra A/C condensers. New stock alert message today: 1995 TOYOTA SUPRA 3.0L L6 Turbocharged Heat & Air Conditioning : A/C Condenser DENSO Part # 4770589 We are sorry to tell you that this part is now discontinued, and we no longer foresee having this part in stock.

My missus pays the leccy bill so she is on an eco drive. I bought a usage monitor and ran that from socket to socket. So interesting results. Fridges (we have knocked a couple of those on the head) and TVs (are all now switched off at the mains) are bad news. As are PC's and my wife has(d) 4 fish tanks. I've changed the cooker for a new induction one and bought an air fryer that uses half the power of a cooker and is on a lot less time seeing its smaller. We were on target for a £16k electricity bill so it'll be interesting to see how the efficiency measures take effect. This is the usage I recorded on our appliances: It should be obvious which things wouldn't be on full 24hrs a day, every day. Others would

I have had squealing belts under load on one of my cars when the belt profile didn't match one of the pulley notches; on an aftermarket PAS setup. Whifbitz are rarely known to be oversold so you can buy a replacement, correct width and belt profile from a good many cost effective sources. I've used both of these 2 suppliers for anything from car belts to large machinery really long belts and all has been good. If I was ever unsure of a belt length, then templating a length of string or bailer twine always worked for me. https://simplybearings.co.uk/shop/Belts/c4601/index.html https://www.bearingboys.co.uk/V-and-Wedge-Belts-1025-c As a footnote, I solved my belt slip arising from different pulley profiles by moving from a wedge to a tooth belt.

This manual single turbo car sold for: £29,813 + 15% auction house fees. Car listed as TT6 so you have to assume it was an original TT6 with original engine and running gear as listing didn't say it wasn't.

There is a site that offers route conversion to various formats that may help, or it may not? https://www.alltrails.com/converter

The good things with rust is any lost metal can be replaced, at a cost. I'd be more focussed on the components that cannot be replaced with Toyota parts which includes just about everything underneath. You can still get bolts and hockey sticks but that is about as far as it goes.

If it has gone to a trader or flipper they wouldn't wish the purchase price disclosed.

If you are completely green it would be advisable to ask someone who isn't to go with you. Someone who can spot any mods and deletions that haven't been detailed in any ad. Best place to start is with a VIN check on the Supra registry.
