The link to this forum is working ... however when I try to enter in most sections it says they are empty

I tried the search a few times... but could not come up with anything ... apprently I am using the wrong terms. What do I need to upgrade the N/A car to a single turbo solution? Cheers guys.

Looks amazing Rob Tried to start and clean mine with a degreaser and ... my steam cleaner ... I think the next think I need is a brush... lol Not an easy job...

I think have to miss the convoy although I would have loved to come along with you guys! I have to take the dogs out before I leave the house... so I am aiming to leave about 8:00 from Birchington. I will follow the route A299 --> M2 --> M25 --> M1 --> Santa pod.

Not very rusty as I have seen ... the 2 holes are only as big as the head of a needle.

Confused a bit now ... as I have read on another post that the exhaust splits to two pipes after the 2nd cat and before the back box. Mine does not split in two pipes after the 2nd cat and before the drager back box ... what short of exaust I have? is that an HKS mid pipe section what ever is called

OK just came back from Kwikfit ... went there to have a better look at the exhaust. The rear end has the problem it has 2 small holes, on the corners of the super drag pipe going to the back box. I suppose welding might solve this. So no rush for the middle section I guess

Good at least I know what prices I am going to be looking for. The local toyota to me ... when I mentioned I have a J Spec Supra they did not want to know. They would not supply parts as it is not a UK model or a European import... how strange.

Thank you Steve will reply to you Now I have attached some pics I am confused as to what calipers / disks I have ... (this is the annoying thing when buying a used car) Can you please give me some guidance I assume they are the stock 2 piston calipers front and 1 piston calipers on the rear that the J Imports have. However the previous owner has changed calipers all around for some reason I think they were seized ... but just to make sure he installed the J Spec and not the UK Spec. Just to clarify one of those pics is the rear wheel. And they are 18" alloys

OK stock toyota disks it is then now I need to find an exhaust place to give me a quote then :-S

It will cost a fortune to replace the whole lot :-S ... so better to go for the existing lot and replace only the disks. I have had a quick look and a black diamond front disks grooved and drilled cost £170 for the pair. Brake pads £35 for the pair. I have not done a big research just the first prices I came across. I cannot find middle part of exhaust yet but I think I will do a better search tomorrow. Chris? any ideas?

for UK spec dont I need new Calipers ... as well as brake pads?

Hello guys, I think I cracked my middle box today. .. London driving and speed bumps is not adviced for Supras esp Islington anti car council... I think my middle box is ruined ... the car is a bit noisier ..(although it has the HKS Super Drager on), the middle box has some sort of material (Silencing) coming out of it. Do I need a very expensive part to repair it?? Also my shacking steering is 99% down to the front disks ...shaking and can feel it on my pedal when I brake as well ... are black diamond recommended??? I had them once upon a time on my Cougar and they were brilliant. Cheers guys .. any prices for parts so I can get an idea are welcome.

My lighter was just unplugged from the previous owner ... one God knows why.. the small light from the lighter is removed however the lighter still works fine even without a light... maybe I have a different version to yours. By the way I still dont know where that fusebox is ... it does not seem as visible is it under the panel do I need to remove the panel it self?

OK crankshaft dumper pulley is now replaced and everything is working like a dream

no need to sort this out as it was all linked to the crankshaft pulley ... it was all linked to the d@£n pulley falling apart ... so water pump, power steering, alternator, A/C .... eeehhhmmm dont think I forgot anything. One thing caused about 10 different "fake" problems lol

a tap or a tank? where shall I find one do you think halfords will do one? I am only saying halfords as I want to sort it out tomorrow.

I would unplug all the plugs and plug them back in again. It was the case with my CL... seemed ok, but they were not working, they just needed to be unplugged and plugged in again.

Hello guys, My coolant expansion tank tap is really loose... can flick it open really easily. I worry if it reaches at normal working temperature it might pop off and start loosing fluids... Do you think shall I go to halfords and buy a replacement will I be able to find one??? Cheers Vasilis.

try the touch on thing that was supplied ... mine is inside the glove box. There is a hole in there where you touch the stick. hope you sort it out.

the plug is in firmly and the light still not coming on. However when the boot door is open the cabin light is coming on. so the boot switch seems to be ok

no?

Hello guys, My car came with a Cobra 5370 alarm fitted I have all the receipts and installation of it came with the car as well. However no manual. It seems the siren is not working for it, I wonder if the previous owner was using it just as an expensive immobiliser??? Does anyone know how to reinstate this alarm and test it if it works OK etc ... I know the immobiliser part works for it as I have to press the keyfob to disarm it ... however no noises from the siren as indication. Cheers Vasilis.

will have a look at it tomorrow thank you

Hello guys, A minor problem ... my interior boot light is not working. Once the boot is open it does not light up.. I put the switch on both positions (on/off) whichever it is ... as it does not say no luck. The light bulb seems fine... is there a seperate fuse for it? My lighter is not working either but I have found a few posts about fuses etc so I will have a look about it tomorrow. However any tips on how to remove it or how to install it back in place? any special tools? Cheers Vasilis.
