ok thanks... i just need now to find a stock airbox for Vvti ... not simple i think... wheels question: on the supra forum in France, i found that often : they put 8"5 in front and 9"5 rear. I think , for esthetic choice, put 9"5 in front (ET30) + 10"5 rear (ET35) will it fit ? and i wondered me, why don't put the same dimension in the 4 corner , wheels & tires ! (9"5 with 265 tire for exemple) they often do that on BMW E46 fort track use.. is it possible on a Supra, or does it unbalance the handling or something like that?? (will put my car on track 3 ou 4 times in a year, mostly short track and once a year on nordschleife) any advice ? best regards bastien

beautiful supra, love the white (don't ask why ... ) have you an email ? (can't pm you) best regards Bastien

Hi! I don't know for who is the gunmetal in front of mine, i have bidded on one but was too short ! thanks for the advice chris, I will remove the HKS induction kit. does a stock airbox with a K&N air filter (or something equivalent) is enough for a BPU (400) or too restrictive? if it's too restrictive, what is good for intake for a BPU? Best regards Bastien

Thanks! some pictures of the car , at the port before going on the boat: I've got some work to do on the car to make me like i want (wheels, and of course, take this wing off at the garabge as soon as i have the car in my garage!) but seems to be in pretty good state... 2 months and 20 days approx before i can drive it... Best regards Bastien

Hello! Finally have my supra! found it on japanese aunctions, white, manual, TT, 1998 (so VVTI and facelift), with 110 000 kilometers on it just need to wait 3 months now .....

I wait for an invoice for the deposit since 2 days, it's the seller reply, doesn't smell good this story... finally a think i just keep my first choice: bidding on japanese aunction and be more patient

thanks Annabella, an idea where i can do the HPI (website), the best one ? hpicheck, totalcarcheck, hpi.co.uk ... ?? OK zeiretto, but i think i will travel by train, so don't mind if it's dover or leeds, i want to drive it for the return, 5hour trip more or less is not important (i'm 5 hour from Calais after) why do you have some contact with the seller Zeiretto ?? thinking of buying it ? if yes why you have change your mind?

->K1 = je peux pas te PM , tu as un mail ??

Hi! thanks a lot for your help! I have phone this afternoon on the compound phone (not cellphone) to be sure there is someone at the office, and someonepick up the phone and know about the supra... so it's a good point! normally do the deposit tomorrow... it would be really cool if someone can do that, and of course i can pay a beer in return when i come in leeds to take the car... Good night, the next 15 nights will be difficult for me !! Best regards

Hello, no, insurance in France don't mind if it's RHD or LHD, insurance company even don't ask if it's a RHD or LHD, it's the same cost. a 1000 GBP deposit is realistic for the car posted above ?? I just don't want to be tricked, and send money to a fraund / false dealer ....

I will take it can someone in UK can confirm the "art car sales" company isn't a joke and a serious company?

OK, mais tu penses que cet acompte est remboursable si je ne prends pas la voiture au final ? (rouille découverte sur place,....) je vais me renseigner aussi sur ce qu'il faut modifier pour la passer en V160 ... OK, i think i will make a deposit, but can I be refunded if the car isn't as described (rust,...) when i go to take her ? will check what's mod are necessary to put a V160 on it...

ok, thanks DnK, I 've checked the MOt and mileage seems to be OK (64 000 in 2006 => 76 000 in 2009 => 93000 in 2012,....) and last mot said only : Offside Rear wheel bearing has slight play (2.6.2), so minor issue. it seem it a good dealer car, I hope i will not do another trip and not bring a Supra... is it possible to make a sort of account to reserve the car and have a refund if i don't take it ? something like that exist in UK? Edit: and Matt RR : your R1 is a 2003 or 2002 model, mine was the model after, the first with the 2 exhaust under the rear seat. unfortunately, since I've bought the mitsubishi, i don't have enough money to buy a bike .. it's only a car now...

Hello! after more than 6 years, I'm back here! I almost buy a SUPRA MKiv in 2009, but the seller make me a trick, and I haven't yet drive this beast ( short story : take 3 days with my wife to come in england in 2009, to buy a UK spec MKiv , have phoned to the seller many time before. ferry booked, Eurotunnel, the night in london all is OK, I take the train to go near the seller live, in the train i tell him by SMS " I'm in the train and come in 30min, he respond me: the car is sold yesterday night, i touhgt it was you...... ????? so i return in London, search on piston head and find a Clio V6 phase 1 , bought it and return in France with it, but without any Supra....) hope you have understand... SO! after RHD clio V6 Phase 1, i have bought 964 tiptro, another clio V6 (LHD) and mitsu Evo TME ... But Now, i decided to return on my First Idea = MKiv SUPRA! have bidding this night on japanese auctions, but prices are crazy! so, I 've checked this day on internet and found this lovely black UK MKiv (only one bad point: auto) http://www.artcarsales.co.uk/used-cars/toyota-supra-3-0-turbo-turbo-3dr-bradford-201511148694897 Can someone tell me: - dealer is serious? - car is known here? (I dont' want to do another trip in UK "for nothing" ...) I don't know where i can post this, so i do it on my introduction.. if someone can help.... Thanks Bastien

GRR! that's why I want to do that right now, before others french assholes like me do it. Most of yours UK "supercars" are (or will be) out of your borders (RX7,supra,...) A good supra with LHD, TT & manual in france : it's at least 23000€, so 19378 GBP!! some dealers import and homologates TT & manual from japan (JDM) and it cost at least 20000 euros thank's! I love my bike, some pics: http://free0.hiboox.com/images/2609/6fd06efdfb1eb2272ebb811b4d89bcf0.jpg http://free0.hiboox.com/images/2409/beac1285b4850e61294d82d6fd9829ca.jpg http://free0.hiboox.com/images/2409/9531e087a8590b312da4703703eb3441.jpg http://free0.hiboox.com/images/2409/00371367c88f582cc7dc43410066ffa2.jpg and on hockenheimring: http://free0.hiboox.com/images/2609/f29b5efa20b001c3482da4ae36c91ae2.jpg Real good roads too! Poor rear tyre! YES, I look in the classified section and there is some interesting things!! thanks a lot for all the welcoming messages! @ martini : dont speak too quickly, I try but ... you will see If i still write "good english" in my next posts! generally, I speak better english when I'm drunk, but with a keyboard it's different! @ L18msy : bonjour ! @Swampy442: salut (with a T) ! , and I know, french language is hard for you, but you don't need to learn it, because nobody use it (except french people!) (while english is universal) british peopple who learn french , it's just for fun or to impress girls ! no ?? goodnight Bastien

Hello! to start: sorry for my language, I went to schooll and learn english for 10 years at least but i'm still bad! What I do Here?? I love this car, it make me dream! I actually look for a TT manual , and your's are cheaper than a french one. The bad point is : RHD but I think it's not a serious problem with practice. I know i Have to buy a real UK (not an import) and with the help of a french forum, I have a little bit knowhedge about this car (just basics!) If I bought one, I just want to do BPU or something like that, I don't want a monster with 1000 BHP, 400 are a good target I think! for exterior, I don't like bodykit , just a little pull down and wheels (or not: original car is beautiful too!) to introduce myself : 25 years I love motorcycles ( I have a Yamaha R1 2004 and go on tracks sometimes) Actually I restore a lancia delta Integrale 16V, but I don't Know when she will go back on road, because it's the first time I go so far in repairs (engine block is open!) one picture of the actual delta's condition : http://free0.hiboox.com/images/2509/f3371935fee7445dbf48fbb4c977d0a2.jpg (I bought it already disassembled) I live in a french region with some mountains (Lorraine - Vosges in east of france) and it's really cool to drive in those mountain's roads! (on motorbike or car) that's all folks! Hope you understand all i wrote, and hope I bought one quickly! Good bye Bastien
