sorry about that i meant 600 ish brand new on todays price for this "10" Solo Baric L5 Subwoofer Kenwood KAC-8104D Mono Amplifier Kenwood KAC-8404 4Ch Amplifier Kenwood KAC-7204 2Ch Amplifier Vibe QB69 6x9's" well if this install is anything to go by the next one has got alot to live upto!

hi scott, although im not looking to buy myself, ive had a quite look and for the equipment you got, id say £600ish for brand new, and then the custom parts id probs say another 300quid max if its of a decent construction (havent seen or heard it so cant pass judgement) (obs not including labour etc). but if it was me selling this id probs ask for 550 and be open to offers around for the 400 - 450 mark. But thats just me!

Cheers for the info, will be interested to see a before and after of a good service will do for the engine, then to add my little goodies haha!

Sounds like the Alternator has gone, just dont try doing what i did lol, mine went and then i managed to jump start it, while driving back i lost head lights, head unit pretty much every piece of elertical equipment! but the warning lights all came on. To be honest its one of though situation that id change both for piece of mind!

Do the other lights come up on the dash? as on my citeron that happened when the alternator went! if it has then might be worth replacing the battery as well, for whatever reason it blew a cell as well didnt hold the charge!

Right ive been left thinking, A nice 15 year old supra, Started life with between 220BHP upto 300BHP depending on model (if internet sources are to be believe).... Apparently it loses between 1 - 5% of the total power if its been regardly services. or 5-25% if it hasnt. i know there are too many variable to include but at a rough estimate what would you say a fair quote would be? just out of interest this is. I will be dynoing my Supra before and after once it arrives and ill keep you update but till then!

Hi Pudsey, cheers for the PM, unfortantely not looking for right now as the car is in transport from Japan. I will keep a close on the thread though cheers

haha to be honest it also gives me a great excuse to give the car a good run in on the uk roads haha nice 500 mile round trip! lol. but yer back on track other suggestion would also be appericated!

hi tim, cheers for the info, quess that anothing thing to add to the list, (gives me an excuse to looking into redesigning the interior) haha, i guess paul will have a little list of things to be implented when the car arrives to our shores!!! lol

that one tidy supra!!!! if you dont mind me asking but what bride seats are they? Looking about getting a pair in my supra over the winter!

Good Thread!!!! Everyone just keeps saying about buying things off here, ebay or authorised traders (which in fairness are expensive but you know your getting the good stuff)

haha, im on the south coast so i get all the "good" wheather lol, and drive alot and find leather uncomfortible and gets tacky looking after a while plus just not a huge fan. Plus i often go for huge drives but find the drivers seat gets to hot when on leather!

Ill have a little look see but im not a fan of the leather, gets to hot in the summer or when driving lol! Ideally suede would be good!

Hi people well theres three things to this question First - A good set for about 800, but much be able to recline with good padding do to the other halfs back condition!!! Second - A good set of harness, what do you recommend (something that secure but doesnt take an age to strap into) Third - How do you install them (ideally im after to replacement the standard strap) (also do they have to bolt into the rear bench or can they install just in the front if that makes sense) as ideally still want the rear bench for mates!)

On one of the old sports cars i had, i just put it in for a complete respray, id just picked it up, when for a drive around, then parked it up in a 40 ft gap, and this old bloke outta know where decides to reserve right up into my engine bay!!!! wrote the Whole car off, after i spent 5000 grand on her !!!!! (front bumper, slam plate, headlights etc) To top it off he said he was going to sue me for neglecting to park properly!!!! the car was parked tighter (to the kerbab) then a nuns fanny!!!

Hi & Welcome Mohammand, running some decent cars there, also just to let you know if your from outside of the EU, just be aware your only allowed to drive on your countrys driving license for 6 months ( i believe). but other then that i look forward to is to come, looking at the standards of the other cars.

Yer its what im thinking however im really hooked up with the right people. Although i do know of several large open air car parks that could accomodate anywhere between 100 - 200 cars lol

have you checked the disturb cap? as it sounds like what happened to me, have you tried putting the revs extremely high and carry on up there if so then the cap could of gone. also if it has might be worth looking at the HT leads and plugs as one of mine went due to the high rev trying to get it home!
