I went off that recommendation and put 2l of the Fuchs Titan Race Syn5 in my dif in October. The cars done about 20 miles since then and all is well.

No insurance would be settled that quickly so If it has been offered for sale by the owner that would mean the owner either didn't have comprehensive insurance or any insurance, either would be a bit dumb.

I have several CTEK chargers as the cars and machinery are used so little, keep the battery constantly topped up.

Glad this thread popped up again since I never reported back, The early Soarer badge I received from the USA is identical to the Supra badge in every way except it is about 15% larger. There is a set of gold badges for sale in the USA at the moment, US$900. Seller must think they are solid gold.

It'll be a miracle if the passenger survives that degree of solid tree encroachment into the cockpit.

When I see cars like this for the price I really do get tempted. It's just fortunate that I spent all my extra car money, that was originally earmarked to buy a second TT6, on Supra parts and a daily driver upgrade recently. Even so, still tempted.

There is one on eBay at the moment, £250 or offer. I recon that's a keen price and if you could get it for £200 that'd be a top bargain especially as it includes shipping.

This is all organised and my old struts will be heading off next week to SGS to recycle the mounts onto new struts. So, if anyone wants to get a set ready to then swap with their own, Novak should be the man to ask for his old set.

I just bought a rear bar from Toyota for £169 delivered so they aren't that expensive new. Good luck with the boot lid, that could take a while.

To fit the HB4's to the jspec headlights you need to cut off one of the three locating lugs. Its obvious which one is out of alignment when you compare to the bulb that came out or try to house the HID bulb. I found they needed to be canbus to work. Other than that I've been running 6k whites for three years now with no issues running or MOT alignment/pattern wise.

I bought one from a Toyota dealership in the USA 18 months ago DDP for £120. Supra parts prices have gone stratospheric.

Just google High Wycombe and Subaru or Supra and you'll get a few hits. Lots of threads, the Scooby forum makes for best reading.

Hopefully you aren't heading to see a particular 2 centres dealers car around High Wycombe/Berkshire?

Welcome, if you have any questions then this is probably the best forum to ask them in the technical or chat sections. Hopefully the car came to you with history on the maintenance and mods so you know what has been done to it over the years.

If you can place an order on SGS then PM me the order number and your details then I can ship my struts straight there for you. I'll just need reimbursed shipping costs to SGS. Then, when you are done, you can gift your struts to the next poor sod who has their head bumped with the tailgate.

Ideal colour for you.

Pity about the write off, are you sure its down to light front damage based upon the cars value in 2012? Impressive though that the extra 3psi gives an additional 115bhp over the standard supercharged Roush stage 3. That'd take the stock transmission to its ragged limit. My 65 Mustang is so much simpler, and slower. Good for cruising.

No, I didn't take it any further as I did finally manage to track down a full set of new front and rear arms.

Do you intend sending a set off to SGS to have new struts fitted to the recycled mounts or are you planning on doing it yourself and will you then be left with a spare set that you swap them with on your car? The reason I ask is I have my old set that are good for refurbing that you can have if you will then hold a spare set that you are willing to pass on free to any fellow member needing a set to refurb to swap with their own knackered struts at some time in the future.

Exhaust pipe hitting the sub frame, worthile checking your mounts are there and not perished?

The guard looks like its been brush painted, thickly. When I took mine off the issues were not on the outside that didn't look at all shabby, but on the inside so could be good to add some inside shots.

There are PB embedded image fix apps to view the pics.

How to remove rear bumper Done a little write up as we have a front bumper guide but no rear one. Step 1: Remove rear lights (two screws holding this in.) Step 2: Remove these retainers under the lights (three each side) Step 3: Remove 3 center retainers on the top of the bumper Step 4: Remove 4 retainers running along the bottom edge of the bumper along with the plastic strip. (Sorry about the picture as I forgot) Step 5: Remove screws at top corners of bumper (one each side) Step 6: Remove number plate Step 7: Release the number plate lights from the bumper by undoing the three screws. Step 8: Remove the retainer above the exhaust (this needs to be pulled out and it might be worth while taking the exhaust mounts off to gain access.) Step 9: Remove lower corner nuts (one each side) Step 10: Remove boot liners on each side Step 11: Remove the two nuts that hold the bumper onto the rear quaters Now the bumper should pull away freely.

The local white TT6 Supra is back on the market but upped to £24k. It has a new front bumper replacing that ill fitting massive one it had before. Maybe it is a brand new bumper because the price has gone up by £2k from memory (new the bumpers are just shy of £2k list, anyway it'd be a prime part to check for fit and colour match and paint quality. The advert says its a fresh import, just in but its been around for a while now so take what they say with a pinch of salt and they may be open to offers seeing its been around a while now. Got to be worth a look anyway. Its a poor ad with only one picture so not a lot of thought has gone into it which will likely limit the numbers rushing to go view.

Looked over a few Japanese car sites and it appears that their Supra prices are now on a par or even a little ahead of UK prices with TT6's now pushing the US$30k ticket price. Looking at the UK importers no Supras for sale, lots of GTR's and evo's but not a Supra to be found which would seem to back up there is no money in importing Supras into the UK at the moment; cars offered for sale that probably don't actually exist do seem to be concentrated around High Wycombe. Market conditions would seem to be pushing towards a significant UK Supra price adjustment sometime soon, else the UK will become a location for even jspec Supra exports. Akemashite omedetô
