  1. Omg dream wheels right there. Would there be any hope fitting these to a stock arch supra with the arches rolled
  2. Although to some 'patina' will add value in certain unmolested examples and to collectors, to allot some would rather a mint car myself included. If you have the new seals mate I say get yours resprayed and get it perfect, yours has had paint work and has mods anyway so will never be 100% oem so get it perfect
  3. Could it be that you used a finishing wax with high filler levels and now you have washed that away, meaning the car wasnt scratch free the first time? could it still have needed refining
  4. Think most of these will work on a 6 speed but not the other way around unless the original ecu was from an auto
  5. 400 ish maybe. I just gave that for a mines
  6. I had to change the two fronts on mine a couple of years back. Cost 500 as you say they aren't cheap but if they last another 25 years it's fine by me. With the Toyota heritage scheme coming in, in the future hopefully problems like this won't be so much of an issue
  7. I posted it on here to guage interest, posted it on here for bookings, posted the donation page on here, promoted it on our fb page, shared the event to every supra fb page I know, plaster my car in stickers for the event and talk to all members I meet about it. Without personally knocking on the doors of every owner I can't do much more. [emoji1787][emoji1787] Next time mate. Next August will be Trt 2020.
  8. I have one, but offered it to a chap yesterday. If he doesn't have it you can have dibbs
  9. Thanks mate, was certainly a fantastic trip. Thanks bud. Was a great trip having massive withdrawals now. pod next week
  10. Shit happens in this world, a momentary laps in concentration or a stupid judgment call and stuff can go down. But if its handled like that a bad thing has been flipped into a good thing and you come away with a positive experience in a weird way. Sounds like a company who you'd be happy to use again, and weirdly even though they caused damage you have probably given them more good press than they would have got anyway if the job had just been done. Alas most companies in this day and age don't seem to share that stance on handling a situation.
  11. I have a pair of 10mm h&r ones in the garage with studs I think
  12. Hey Guys enjoy the video from Tearoom Tours 2019
  13. The clear lenses are they glass or plastic ?
  14. I have a set of glass ones going but they are just glass as above facelift do not exist
  15. Have you got pictures and a spec. I've seen a few tt6s going for 30k and selling I know of a fair few now, there is no way there should be a 15k+ price gap between a auto and 6 speed imo. If your cars clean and stock 15k should be the very minimum imo.
  16. That was the Old supra. I didn't like them either although at least they had a use lol
  17. I don't understand the new found love for these everyone has. They ruin the rear of a supra imo. But I guess the world would be dull if we all liked the same stuff
  18. I have some 10mm h&r spacers with longer studs in the garage mate, not sure if 10mm would be too much poke?
  19. I will throw a bump back on this, just incase anyone feels they can spare a few quid to a fantastic cause. In would be great to see a few more people contribute if your able to do so. thanks jake
  20. Short answer yes, its definitely getting smaller and will continue to do so imo, I think we have passed the point now that a revamp will help. Ive just come to accept what it is, I've made friends on this place people who I will continue to be friends with even If I don't own a supra, the car becomes a bit irrelevant. Forums in general became out dated and ours although an incredible source of information is no acceptation. The usability is poor and difficult unless writing a simple post. Also traders etc are so quiet now and most people just go direct. We live in a world where the latest generation of supra owners are used to instant posting answers,picture uploads, likes etc etc and the forum just cant tick that box, and lets not get started on crapatalk so no decent way to use it on a mobile device, A MASSIVE killer imo People complain about the place becoming quiet etc but those same people don't bother to post or do anything exciting, keep up with build threads etc, everyone has a a part to play even if its just attending a bloody event. If you want change BE the change. I thought the TG event was posted on here I swear I saw it. As for BIG meets lots of people put huge amounts of effort to organise meets etc, and members cant be arsed to show up. Suprapod was great but we massively struggled for numbers, and hardly anyone staid at the hotel for an after party, I would be surprised if we saw another one tbh which im gutted about. Events such a DB had more and more of a struggle getting numbers NEC classic car show, we have had a few people come help on stand but years ago if this event had been around we could have had crowds of members lending a hand Sclub another great event which is due for another down size as only the same crowd show their faces I will throw my TRT road trip in the mix, just look at my threads barely anyone shows an interest, 90% of our members coming have joined because of the FB groups, and years ago if we had done somthing like that there would have been loads of posts at least! http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?351951-Tearoom-Tours-2019 http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?352455-Tearoom-Tours-supporting-LATCH Just lok at the response and think back to old road trips, dragonballs, dragoncol, and the macmillan charity burning of the veilside we did. Its just a different world now. Then you have the static meets although the organisers do a great job I think lots of people have got fed up of seeing the same cars (not talking about our members talking about in general) I found i was going to shows 4-6 times a year and then just looking at the same 350z wide body, slammed 240 etc etc it just gets boring and lots of people go purely to socialise with their friends and then they will be turning to their local car clubs allot of the time. I would rather just go for a drive and meet everyone at the pub these days.
