  1. Same, I saw one I liked looked at the price and threw my laptop out the window
  2. Listy posted up a link and they were all £20,000 and above.... Crazy!
  3. Is there a difference in preface lift and facelift suspension. Can facelift be adjusted? Reason I ask is because on a previous thread about my supra people mentioned it could have been lowered. But it doesn't look like it has non standard suspension. I have 18" alloys. It seems to fill the arches reasonably well. Is it due to the alloy size or lowering?
  4. I doubt a new supra would look like that anyway. Looks too concept car and those types of cars are never seen.
  5. I put my right foot in there but I'm a size 10 shoe... Also just a quick one, whilst you're doing this I know many of us don't like to damage our cars interior so I use this little dip under the fuel release cap to store my keys. They are out the way, won't get kicked and your hands are free
  6. I gave it a try but got stuck... unlock the car using key fob, pressing the smooth button once Or use the key (note of caution - the alarm may sound) Take your hand and pull the door handle to gain access into car Once open you need to gain access to the back seats (so I've heard) You may wish to place your foot in the drivers foot well to give you stability for this next step Like so From there you need to locate this lever on the seat Pull the lever to allow the backrest to come forward Now I've been told to find a lever in the back on the seats. This is what I think it MIGHT be but I got pretty confused so I left it there. I think this is it Didn't want to pull it though just incase it was a parachute release. I heard they can only be used once so I am saving it incase I ever accidentally drive out of a plane.
  7. It is actually. Only problem now though, it gets dispensed in the boot and I can't get in there because I don't know how I can open it
  8. I do have two buttons though. Haven't pressed them yet but surely one is the boot release and the other is an ejector seat. Don't want to press any though because I don't have an aerotop... I hope one of them are lazers so I can lazer chavs or lazer open someone's boot for them if they don't have a lever of sorts that could be right next to the fuel flap release
  9. How is this done again. Can someone clarify this just once more please?
  10. Is it common practice for manufacturers to make a wheel that has everything the same size apart from a couple mil difference on the PCD? Reason I asked, after measuring, but not being 100% confident with my accuracy I searched online for the wheels and every set I found had the correct PCD for a supra. I also have a suspicion that someone had alloys on there before that weren't quite right for the supra and had those wobble bolts on there. Then the wheels were changed but the bolts weren't.
  11. Ignore me idiot measuring skills haha. Measured 4 times now. 114 on both
  12. So to measure it I found out the radius and x2 it gives me 126 on both the hub and the wheel :/ am I doing something wrong?
  13. Taken my wheel off to measure the pcd of the wheels but where do I measure it? I read online I can measure from the centre of one hole to the centre of another and multiply by 1.701 but that brings up a stupid number well above 114
  14. Don't worry I just searched it
  15. Yeah I did think as much. I may do later on but to be honest I've seen no black smoke at all which was suggested I would see at that low a afr reading. So I would believe that maybe there was just some confusion within the measuring system somewhere. It only done 3 runs. I'll find another rolling road somewhere and compare results. If a afr of 10 is crazy low then surely I will get some physical sign?
  16. I'm very lost here, the wheel balancing is fine, the wheels are straight (checked on the balancing machine) so the wheels themselves are fine, the tyres are fine. I fail to see a problem anymore. Nothing is loose on the wheel hub assembly.
  17. So if its not the wheel nuts, not the balancing, and the car has just passed MOT with no advisories and no play in anything to do with the wheels. Then what could it possibly be?
  18. I see. He did say it was running rich and told me I would probably need a remap to sort it.
  19. Sorted it as of a few days ago but I was just too lazy to post about it. It was as me and the bloke in the garage suspected. Wheels nuts needed changing. I had these stupid things called "wobble nuts" or something like that. They look really flimsy and are a pretty stupid design. Their purpose (for anyone who doesn't know) are to pull wheels straight that have a slightly wrong offset. The tapered part of the but wobbles about as if the nut is in two pieces. The wall around the thread is so thin that 3 of the nuts were actually split!! On the front as well. To add to this there was one odd nut that as still a wobble nut to just smaller. I'll post up a couple pics later if anyone would like to see?
  20. How do I fix it? I never saw any black smoke and the power loss I had, over that many years, seems reasonable. It doesn't seem at all broken or like anything is wrong. I also get around 300 miles to a tank. 380 if I drive like a granny. So fuel consumption seems normal
  21. I would love a titanium one but I doubt I could afford it right now. I have a few other things I'm wanting to do to the supra. Currently looking at a genuine RSR exhaust for a very reasonable price I believe.
