  1. To confirm that the dimensions tie up there is a schematic on the Amazon site https://www.amazon.com/Denso-477-0589-Condenser/dp/B000PWVAT8
  2. Try this. http://www.ebay.com/itm/DENSO-477-0589-Condenser-/381874090442?hash=item58e97831ca:g:wQEAAOSwD0lUlANx&vxp=mtr This is a Denso part. Or http://www.toyotapartsdirect.ca/p/CONDENSER-ASSEMBLY--COOLER-CONDENSER/47903982/8846014310.html This is a Denso part retailed as Toyota so twice the price.
  3. I watched EP1, it was OK. EP2 watched half, until Queenie turned up in a plane then had something better to do. EP3 last night and found it really boring, just a drive through Italy in cars which might have made sense in three Italian cars. Not sure if I'll get to EP4. Being so dull, its given Top Gear a Launchpad to go somewhere entirely different which hopefully will mean more car related and more interesting.
  4. Now moved to Bournemouth. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Toyota-Supra-HKS-Twin-Turbo-6-Speed-VVTI-Engine-2JZGTE-JZA80-Fcon-VPro-Sard-ORC-/322354785671?hash=item4b0dd7ad87:g:BMQAAOSwImRYSuSu A clone of a currently running USA ad for a VVTi engine
  5. 16k km 040 TT6 facelift. Fantastic car matched to a fantastically amazing price; Yen5.9mn including Japanese taxes. That'd be around £52k landed duty and VAT cleared in the UK. http://page4.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/d212351176
  6. Backed out of buying these so opened up to others looking for a set of TTs to recondition.
  7. Or Hampshire way? Could get my brother to hold them for me. PM sent anyway.
  8. Ill take them, do you ever get up Reading way so they could be dropped at my parents. Otherwise they will probably need posting.

  10. If you do wheels yourself then go polished, its a really good look on these wheels. For reference here is what a set looks like on a white Supra. I really do think they suit the car which is why I've never bothered to change them. [ATTACH=CONFIG]216074[/ATTACH]
  11. Diamond cut lips are a nightmare. I have had my equivalent set to these refurbished three times over 18 years and gave up on the polished rims in the last go at them because water would always get under the lacquer where the valve seats or where it got chipped and result in nasty black blotches. Polishing definitely gives the better look if you don't ever plan to use the car in the wet but I'm on fully painted now with these wheels and it was the best decision I made.
  12. Looks a bit of a dog even though its had a fresh respray. Ad says its an auto but description says its a manual. All a bit confused which doesn't bode well but would be worth someone checking it out to maybe unearth a V160 bargain. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Supra-n-a-auto-fresh-respray-/182381933299?hash=item2a76cf72f3:g:NVgAAOSw44BYSUK~
  13. I have a set of similar BBS (though the 17" size) on my Supra that I recently had refubed for £280, so effectively £600 for a clean set of BBS is very reasonable. Typing from a personal viewpoint, I'd probably prefer the tyres removed though as it just leaves the buyer to dispose of crap tyres and anyone attempting a home refurb would need to get the tyres removed first anyway. Its not just the scuff and paint condition that matters with these wheels, its also the centre cap plastic securing ring which gets more than a little brittle and can lead to the hexagon nut departing from the threaded part. I mention this because you cannot get the centre caps anymore so the cap integrity is probably more important with these long time out of production 1990's wheels than the wheels themselves. Its also very hard to buy the correct size cap removal tool as well though they do occasionally come up on eBay from usually old scrapped BMW parts coming up for sale. So it'd be a clear bonus if you are selling the wheels with the cap removal tool.
  14. Do you know when in 2014 as whifbitz released their uprated SMIC in October 2014 according to their website?
  15. Does anyone have a set of headlight washers originally from a UK Supra that would be willing to sell?
  16. I totally agree which is why I haven't slated anything. Its clear if the car hasn't moved since August the price being asked does not match the market conditions. No amount of saying great spec and that's undervalued will likely change that unless you plan heading there later with the cash. I only expressed something that is patently obvious and if the OP wants a sale for early in the New Year as they indicated they do, it (it - being the price) is something they should be looking at. I happen to believe its difficult to justify £20k in the price on mods alone. I may wrong but any project car is a personal crusade, just needs others to be on the same page which doesn't always happen; hence why many single turbo Supras end up being broken for parts because the parts do not (usually - invariably) add value to the base car over or even at the cost of the parts. Wish the OP the very best for the sale and hope they can see my input as realistic/constructive.
  17. For £22k I'd probably want a radio fitted. I'll say it as others often shy away for fear of upsetting, it appears expensive for the VIN plate that bears no resemblance to the finished car and has no great stock value. You could pick up a NA auto for £4k, probably a NA rolling shell for £1.5k. maybe the mods add £20k or maybe they don't. that's the choice people are faced with when buying into someone else's project car.
  18. I lived once upon a time in Central Scotland and my first car had disintegrated almost entirely by 4 years old. it was a Hillman though, out of the lets rust today more than we did manage yesterday Linwood plant. I weighed in at a heavy 9 stone back then and the drivers seat fell through the floor on one corner. Made for interesting braking on a dipping seat. Lights were held in with filler, even had the adjuster screws tapped into filler. The rear overhangs, more fibreglass and mesh than anything else. Never seen a car melt away quite like that. Its a salty place.
  19. For choice its probably best looking for a M3 rather than a Supra as there must be loads of those in and around Essex. Not a bad car if you get past the cracked frames.
  20. Slight problem is the Americans wouldn't be interested in RH drive vehicles so the only UK imports they will be taking would be to strip for parts. I can see it'll be like e-types are to us with lots being brought back into the country with the more likely export market being the RH drive ones in Japan and other LH Asia countries
  21. Says all anyone needs to know about eBay that they haven't pulled the listing and closed down the seller account.
  22. Could possibly be your cat breaking down.
