  1. See what your local toyota branch could do? Or try import car parts, they do quick delivery
  2. You can usually get the caliper repair kits, or calipers bolts/pins rather quickly from Mr.T. Might be quicker to repair the caliper yourself if no one has one?
  3. Thought that was what you meant. Check the bulbs behind the warning lights, not just behind the dash. Bulbs are very easy to visually check, just need to take that top dash panel out and disconnect the plugs to get access to them
  4. Check that none of the warning bulbs have been removed on your upper dash warning lights. If they have been removed, they obviously won't light up but I think they might still trigger the eml.
  5. I'm in Canterbury, could meet you half way but it's probably cheaper (in terms of fuel) just to post it as the postage cost will be minimal considering the lenses don't take up much space
  6. I've got two clear lenses off prefacelift rear lights, £12 (including postage)
  7. Pretty sure that torque figure is way to high for an auto na.
  8. Had a read through all your posts today, one of the few blogs that I will continue to keep reading! Good luck with the V8, looking forward to seeing it out and about soon
  9. Just seen a supra advert make me chuckle. Link How can they seriously put that monstrosity on?
  10. Sorry to hear what happened man, it's never fun. However, such is life. I can assure you that once you get over this and you find someone else, chances are they won't be the one either, nor the one after that (rinse and repeat). Yet, all these experiences of being with other people will help shape you as a person (hopefully for the better) and it will help you understand what it is to have someone that you can spend your life with when you finally meet them. Obviously some people find "the one" sooner than others, and if you are that person then you are lucky. If not, don't get discouraged it will come when the time is ready. In the meantime, I know you said you are shy but being a young person just get out there and have some fun, don't go in with the intention of finding a partner. You will have the rest of your adult life to have a stable partner but you can only be young and frivolous once
  11. I have one, can grab a picture of it tomorrow for you if you like.
  12. Bought a new set of tyres from tyreleader recently. I stupidly had these in my cart as well and didn't realize till after I made the order and they were already being shipped. £120 collected from Canterbury (can meet you nearby if in kent) or £130 posted
  13. Also from the autochannel Base Price $ 33,900 Price As Tested $ 35,161 Engine Type I-6, dohc - 24v - smpfi Engine Size 3.0 liter/183 cid Horsepower 220 @ 5800 Torque (ft/lbs) 210 @ 4800 Wheelbase/Length 100"/178 Transmission five speed manual w/od Curb Weight 3260 Pounds per Horsepower 15 Fuel Capacity 18 Fuel Requirement Unleaded premium (91 oct) Tires Goodyear Eagle GS-C Front: P225/50ZR16 Rear: P245/50ZR16 Brakes anti-lock standard disc/disc Drive Train front engine/rear drive PERFORMANCE EPA Economy - miles per gallon, city/highway/observed 18/23/19.1 0 to 60 mph 5.9 sec 1/4 mi (E.T.) 14.6 sec Coefficient of Drag (Cd) .31
  14. Your idea of the factory 0-60 times are still incorrect. The EP3 isn't even a supra so not sure why you are bringing that into discussion.
  15. Aftermarket front springs isn't going to change anything? And wider semi slick tyres completely unsuited for drag use, what is your point?
  16. An larger exhaust and an air filter is about as far as my performance "mods" go, I'm pretty sure they make no difference to my 1/4 time.
  17. [video=youtube;b6vb-mht-XA] You can definitely get the N/A to 60 quicker than 7 seconds, I recorded my attempts earlier this year. Took it to santapod the other week, loaded with a full boot and camping gear and was doing 14.9's as my best time, which could probably be improved if I spent some time setting the car up for drags. They are slow cars no doubting that, but every autobox na that I've sat in feels sluggish in comparison to a manual box. I'd put the supra on the dyno to see if you are really underperforming or it's just the way the car feels in comparison to a TT.
  18. Bit of an odd thing to look for, but trying to restore another set of headlights but the rear section on the driverside has been melted in the oven. Don't suppose anyone has got one spare for sale?
  19. I bet this guy is like those "pranksters" on youtube. Doing stupid things that really aren't funny and usually unsafe, in an attempt for internet fame under the guise that it's all banter or "trolling"
