Is everyone sitting ready for the fuel escalator to be resumed by the Government in April, forecast to add 12p/l?

I had several emails to and fro with an Aussie guy that I tracked down off the Aussie forum but it petered out, due to his being a busy body I guess. These are some of the conversations, I had asked for a UK ship price and quantity discounts and never received a reply. His units were claimed to be Supra plug and play. His email address is [email protected] if anyone want to pick up from where I got to with him.

If there is no button on the side then I hope you got the key fobs as well and the sealed ones factory ship with two fobs and are not programmable.

The net zero crowd have lots of initiatives underway in towns and cities around the globe. Nothing has ever been voted through on a wave of popular support but instead it is being put in place for our own good. For towns there is the 15 minute cities being piloted around the World, in England the test centres are Oxford and Canterbury. Oxford has been segmented into 6 precincts and people will only be able to drive between precincts 100 times a year per household. If it a 2 car household that is 50 permits to travel per year each. More car owners then the fewer permits for each car owner. You can still cross precinct boundaries but you'll be fined £70 for each time that occurs. It'll make that Hospital or KFC run pretty expensive. You can walk between precincts freely or use public transport. For cities there are the C40 cities. London is the UK pilot. Goal is to reduce car ownership to zero by 2030. Yes, that is correct, the target is zero private car ownership in London by 2030. The goal is worst case at 65% reduction in car ownership. There has been some MSM coverage on the concepts. The BBC did a very supportive what it'll mean for you and environment 20 minute film. All great, necessary to the save the planet The Oxford trial has hit some resistance. The council has announced that the trial will be going ahead whether residents like it or not. There has been some civil disobedience with over £80k of resident activity towards barriers being installed. This has not been covered at all in the MSM. It's all very conspiracy type but it is actually happening. Anyone can get up to speed by reading the WEF and UN websites and searching for 15 minute and C40 cities. The interesting thing is its a global phenomena, how did the likes of Oxford get involved in a UN project without anyone being voted in on adopting the policy? It is very well coordinated without the need for the residents, citizens or voters to ever get involved.

I'm old enough to recall the sub £10k TT manual days, I bottomed out my own cars insurance value lower than that. It has to be hard for anyone who paid those sub £10k prices to get their heads around spending £20k plus on the underside of a car. After all you could get a really good paint job and a valet for that price and everyone would then be saying she's a minter.

I bought a NOS front gold badge for $120 from a US seller a while back but quite a bit after they were discontinued so the pricing could be a little steep if the badges aren't in really good condition. The metal OE badges (rather than your knock off plastic ones that came later) do have the substantial mounting prongs (two front and three rear) and tend to fade towards a chrome/silver look with time so the important thing would be have they faded together nicely and still with prongs intact.

Undersides always make me appreciate my own hard work and big money new OE parts spend on the underside in 2017. Sadly, that's not even possible these days with so many parts sold out. Many were hard to track down in 2017. Everyone knows that refurbishment is a poor investment as every £10 spent probably adds £2 to the value. If I factored my labour in it'd probably be 10:1. The only upside is that I enjoy looking at my cars underside as I wipe it down with lint free cloths, and the MOT tester loves it to. So, a possibly/probably crusty under the wax UK Supra likely isn't going to be knocked hard at auction. If someone wants it to join a collection then it'll get sorted irrespective of the cost. It just needs the right two bidders on the day.

This is more correct if you are buying a 2019 Ford Focus than a classic car, particularly an iconic classic car. It is the auction price in the World of desirable Classics that drives the market price. When a new auction sales record is set on a rising trend then the marketplace moves up. US auction prices for low mile Supras are now more than once over $200,000. I doubt a private buyer on your driveway would voluntarily stump up a better price. There are so many benefits of selling a high value car at auction. To list but a few you get the cash without any worries or concerns, you reach a wider and Global audience on a web site, you don't need to worry about misrepresentation as the auction house does the representation, you are covered by insurance, no test pilots. I could go on.

The decision to go to auction is a wise one as auctions are where best and new record prices are set. It may not be the best timing, winter facing economic uncertainties but even so the estimate looks to be on the conservative side. For us dad types, and now a grandad type, there will come a time when the Supra presents comfort and ease of access challenges. I'm fortunate that my daughter has volunteered to take my own Supra burden off me when I'm ready as a tax free gift. It is after all only worth £460 according to certain car buying site. If you are lucky, the car won't meet the reserve and your dad will just say here you are son.

There is apparently a lot of pumping going on in tech equities so that rich people can get a whole lot richer on very short term investments. The boom is reported to likely turn into an as fast bust as these really rich people take their I've just got a whole lot richer profits leaving the smucks (the poor people) that ride the top of the waves picking up the tab.

The ESR meter has arrived from China, no excuses now. I just need to work out how to use it.

Recorded mileage on any near 30 year old car is nothing more than a random set of numbers unless its backed, comprehensively, by every MOT certificate since three years old and a service history. In Supra World that is a very rare combination.

You can get black poly bushes that look similar to the OEM ones rather than garish red, purple or yellow ones. Just as well really, seeing OEM replacements are no longer available for all parts. https://www.powerflex.co.uk/products/Supra+Mk4+JZA80+(1993-2002)-433/1.html

Failing finding one Junsei do repro dash panels that Whifbitz retail for a deliciously high price.

Under themz forum rules you need to price them. Offers should be directed to an eBay auction listing.

You did say full speed at a direct 12V. So, if you know the switch is OK and you know the fuse is OK then you can bypass the variable speed resistor which has probably failed to give an full on or off option until you can replace the failed component.

That's like Supra inflation, they used to retail for around £55 incl postage.

I have one of those, although it is variable height on the washer you do need fair clearance even on the lowest (flat) setting. I used it on my old merc and it was amazing how much soil it cleared off in clumps from the underside so its quite powerful. The underside washer used to be offered as a free add on to the pressure washers when I bought my Karcher probably around 4 years ago now. I've only used it once as you need to set assemble it each time. I'm sure I'll use it again sometime, maybe within the next 5 years.

If you have one speed motor then this part on top of the radio stack might be your issue. https://www.amayama.com/en/part/toyota/8865014272 Discontinued. So you may have to hard wire for a one speed blower until a scrapped car part crops up.

The recovered ones don't look the same. They tend to get thicker rims or use pattern leather. I refurbished the one I bought and though I say so myself, it looks pretty good. Easy enough to do if you have the spare time and a bit of patience. I did a refurb write up somewhere on the site.

There is a decent condition steering wheel just come up on eBay at what I regard is a pretty keen price of £350. New these with horn boss were £2k and the leather wheel is now discontinued. The steering wheel is a pretty large piece to anyone seeking the OE look that is currently running with a non-OE wheel making it worth every penny of the asking price. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/195561600115

The side rubber looks completely different on my bar so you can probably just match up to what you have.
