  1. Just seen your reply. Originally the car was red, not grey. The guy who had it before me had it sprayed in a custom gunmetal grey. I had it resprayed in Audi Ibis White. When it comes to those wings, if you change them it’s well worth trying to get them off in one piece if possible. From what I remember they’re discontinued and very rare now. New they cost $3500 plus import costs from the USA. The wheels weren’t expensive, just Wolfrace Sharks if I remember correctly. I always had the intention of getting some much nicer wheels but never got around to it. It would be great to see what you do with it. She was my baby for 5 years, and when the engine went, I was gutted to hear an NA went back in it. She deserves some decent power under that bonnet
  2. Externally not too much has changed. The Ganador mirrors are gone with stock ones in their place, and the bonnet has been replaced. The rear lights are different (they were tinted facelift ones when I had it) and maybe the front lights have been swapped out as they were fully refurbished facelifts tail end of 2015 I think it was. I think it was on around 120k km when I had it. Just so you are aware, those front wings are slightly wider than stock genuine Border vented wings. At the time it was only this car and the Falken demo car that had them in the UK. The skirts are also genuine CWest, according to the paperwork when I got the car in 2011. Oh, and the badge on the tailgate is a one of a kind commission. Not another one like it. If the other owner(s) didn’t mess around underneath the car too much, it’s well worth rebuilding. The way it was set up it handled so well, with more than one performance car specialist saying it was the best handling supra chassis they’d ever driven. Unfortunately I couldn’t tell you the settings for the suspension now. Has it still got the subs etc in the boot floor? And the white panels and arm rests etc in the front? Its nice to see it’s not gone completely to the dogs. Hopefully you, or someone else gives it a new lease of life. out of interest, where is it advertised? I couldn’t find it on facebook. Can you give me a link…
  3. I don’t come on here very often anymore, it hurts too much A while back I enquired if anyone knew if it was still on the road or not. I did quite a bit to that car, and only sold it because I was getting divorced, it wasn’t running at the time and I just didn’t have the time or money to fix it If I had the money and not too much was changed I’d buy it back in a heartbeat, but alas it’s not meant to be.
  4. Saw a really nice black stock supra with RMM front lip in Plymouth Life Centre car park this morning. avent posted anything for a long time but had to come on and say how much of a cracking example of a supra it is. Whoever owns it, you have a superb looking supra my friend. Makes me want to take out a huge loan to buy another
  5. Heckler had a website with how to do all the heater units and dash and what to use. Not sure if it's still up and running or not.
  6. The time has almost come for a new daily family wagon, and due to my lifestyle in the outdoors I'd like something comfortable yet spacious for kit, surfboards, sleeping etc. I was looking at vans and converting them, but they are just a bit too basic and wallowy to drive. Que the Alphard and El Grand. Both are luxury MPVs with fold flat/removable seats. The Alphard 2.4 inline 4 or a 3 V6 FWD/AWD Better fuel economy Better looking Nicer interior The El Grand 3 V6 FWD/AWD More powerful More gadgets There are other comparisons but they are nit picky things for me I won't bore you with. What I don't know is what they are like to live with. Has anyone got any experience with either one? I'm properly torn and 50/50 on which one to go for so any personal reviews and experiences would be helpful. TIA
  7. There was a picture of Bran and the night king wearing the same broach/cloak pin thing too. It's a feasible theory but it begs the question: If Bran is the nights king, why is he moving to war with his homeland? Yet it would explain why Jon Snow didn't get killed. I like the Tyrian Lannister really being a Targaryan theory I've just seen. Completely out of the box, and makes more sense with the books description of him as apposed to the series. The obvious is that Jon Snow is a Targaryan (son of Lyanna Stark and Rhaegar Targaryan) which makes Danarys his aunt, (but GoT isn't afraid of incest as we know with the Lannisters) hence why Drogon let him touch him. But I think that's TOO obvious so they might not go that way. Arya is playing littlefinger, he's going to die soon I think after being exposed to the northern lords. There's going to be some kind of scrap in Kingslanding at the meeting. There will be a Dragon battle.
  8. I seem to remember you need different sub frames for the celica seats to fit as I was looking at doing it with my last supra. As evinX says, Shane has them in his so he's the best one to ask. Edit: A quick search reveals this thread (and the fact my memory served me well) http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?317156-Celica-gen-7-seats-in-a-mkiv&highlight=Celica+seats
  9. Saw you going out of Plymouth yesterday around 5pm
  10. Hi all, long time no see I was speaking to Keron the other day about my old Supra, and was just wondering who has her now? I know it's in Norfolk, and that it's now been reverted back to an NA, but that's it. Ref is K***CBA, Audi Ibis white (now) NA 5 speed manual. Do Luck front, CWest skirts, Trial rear, TRD wing. White touches on the interior. Just interested to see how she's doing these days. Also, may be looking for another one some time soon(ish)
  11. Sorry for the late reply I'm currently climbing in Wales. If you pm me your details etc I'll get it sent on Thursday, as that's when I'm back. Pm incoming with PayPal details.
  12. I did apologise for not using the template:p I also have a lot going on which the other mods and some members are aware of, which have and are having a big impact on my life.
  13. It's not being split. Job lot, starting bid is £0 +£20p&p
  14. Apologies for not using the template, but this is a one off "everything must go" scenario. I have a box with the last of my supra bits in it. In there are things like: Full printed workshop manuals (2 big binders) Assorted silicone hoses (white and stock) Clamps of assorted sizes BC coil over adjusting spanners A few silicone couplers Some audio connections T hose connectors Brand new stock timing belt Grey interior light Plus anything else I find as I go through the garage. This is a simple auction, no reserve. Only catch is postage is £20 due to the weight of the binders mainly. Auction will end on the 1st July 2016. If unsold, it will go in the skip. Happy bidding.
  15. Question.......will a gen 7 celica gear knob fit? They are 6 speed also but can't remember if they are lift to shift.
  16. Sounds like the issues I have with mine right now. Unfortunately I haven't solved it yet as I haven't had the time. Mine would start then die after a few seconds. I replaced the fuel pump (as it was still stock and wasn't priming anyway), checked the plugs and cleaned them up (going to replace those next), coil pack clips seem fine. So after replacing the plugs I'll be checking for ignition as that seems to be the problem now. For me it must be plugs, injectors, or coil packs, as I can hear fuel coming through, so must be ignition related. I kind of prattled on a bit there but hopefully something helps at least get you started.
  17. Anyone can PM Mods, even unpaid members. Welcome Kieran, I'll report your problem to Steve and see if we can get it sorted for you
  18. July 1993 was when mine rolled out the factory, if I remember rightly.
  19. Mine too If I remember rightly it was one of the first 10,000 off the production line too.
  20. This is amazing Ellis! Part of me wants to die as I have always loved your car but this is going to be something else and, for a while at least, be unique to these shores.
  21. Locking this for three reasons: 1- The advert does not follow the rules set out in the sticky thread in the For Sale section 2- You have exactly the same post in another thread 3- I've been slacking keeping an eye on For Sale posts recently, and this one has caught my eye and made me realise this fact.
  22. I've never removed them, but I tend to get a compressed air can/compressor with a fine nozzle in there and blow all the dirt out.
