Hi, be good to have another supra in Essex, recommend popping along to the Bluewater meet
-
He could be on a parents policy, I'm on multicar and its cheaper for me on the supra that most of my mates 1.2 cars on their own policies

As another young driver (I'm 18), just get used to driving it before looking to make it faster. Iv been driving for 18 months and have been driving a n/a part time since February and it can catch you out very unexpectedly especially in the wet, its bad enough in the uk let alone a place with wet weather all year round. Got any pics of it ?

Very good point, after some sleep realised how stupid that comment was. From a bit of googling it would seem that it wouldn't be the greatest business investment due to the initial outlay (unsure how true of an outlay it would be as it would be dependant on scale) of making them and to remain price competitive, while trying to just break even on it? Especially when a part which can last 20 years already available in the market from the original manufacturer, which tends to generate a degree of brand loyalty with it's replacement products. On the flip side a member running a group buy would be very tempting as an alternative with far less overheads for them to need to reclaim keeping the cost down ?

Oh right okay, thanks pretty much a complete novice when it comes the engines. Think it might have to be one of those things to get done when some money it put away just for peace of mind along with refreshing hoses and pipes ect. Dave said that he reckoned this one could be done without it being removed but if needs must then the engine will have to come out and all of them can be done at the same time. Yeah surely a stainless plug would be more durable, but wouldn't the exposure to coolant cause it to oxidise though? (Hope that's not a stupid comment)
-
It's one on the block nearest to the driver side I believe, it's with dave (supraloopey) and he'll be the one doing it, would like to replace them all but just spent the majority of my money on the bodywork due to the fact it seemed mechanically sound, and passed it's mot a week ago today just fine ,oh the irony. I'll be asking him to check the others if it's at all possible? Thanks for explaining it I'll be sure to get the one on the water pump checked if I can
-
Cheers guys much appreciated , unfortunately no such luck, it's a core plug that's gone
-
Driving along when a load of steam comes out the bay, temps shot up and has left a nice puddle on the floor, I'm no mechanic but the pipes in the bay seem fine, and the coolant appears to be running off the sump (I think) And ideas or good places to start looking ? Thanks in advance

Got offered a Trax stand pass on friday and by an incredible stroke of luck I took the supra. Got her back from the body shop on Friday night (well my mum had to collect it as i was working late) then Saturday managed to go and buy the new wheels and fit them before work on Saturday night then it was off to Trax at 4am. anyways a picture is worth a thousand words

Had a nose on your garage, not surprised he wanted you to keep the Ridox it looked great, just the right amount of modification saying that i do love the gunmetal on a stock body Thats the thing they are just generally nice, comfortable cars albeit a bit thirsty, at the end of the day if there was an economical version they would be nigh on perfect imo
-
Thats fortunate for him , I think its great that a car that over 21 years old in design can still be an aspiration for people now, there is something just a bit special about them I think. I found it took about a good month or so of constant badgering to convince my mum to keep it lol the key was persistence, is it a TT ? Considering its lived outside since we owned it i think its in incredible condition really and the facelift lift lights are most definitely a bonus. I read Ripped Fear's build thread, his engine bay is sublime, well the whole car is really, think his car pretty much sets the bar for silver N/A 's
-
Why thank you is it obvious that some work has been done was awaiting a comment like that, incredibly they look so so much worse in person ! so glad they are finally going Its somewhat rewarding being able to drive a car you have appreciated since a child, iv only been insured for a week on it before but loved every minute except filling it with petrol haha At least at 14 your son will have a few years for you to get another, then he can badger you to keep that one for him Will be putting up pictures for certain, will be so nice to have some pictures without the nipples or a dodgy door and wheels
-
Cheers She still does haha does get some surprised looks when people pull up and see her driving it though, when I was literately baby she was running about in a modified 200sx that was running around 400bhp with my pram in the boot/back so spose shes used to it Yeah its held up well considering its lived outside, but i'm just a tad ocd so every minor flaw i tend to blow out of proportion, there is the trademark bit of rust on the boot lid and the spoiler has oxidised so will need redoing before too long. Couldn't agree more about the wheels though, if they where any more pitted they'd no long be classed as wheels. Am going to look at some this Saturday though so fingers crossed

Just thought id start this so I have got some history and track whats been done to the car now its getting some love and attention, i mean everyone knows how uncommon an n/a silver auto is :rlol: , comments and insight are always welcome, i'm here to learn History As far as i'm aware it was imported in 1998, it has some history (that's been lost) running up until its purchase by my mum in 2003. since then it was used regularly as a "family car" if it can be called that, with all its limited service history all kept. but as a child I loved it, much better than the fiestas my mates mums had! First problem was that the guy we bought it from reversed it into a plinth of wood and creased the door and the edge of the front arch but this never bothered my mum enough to get it fixed Second it had facelift headlights but pre-facelift indicators so my dad found a garage to "fix" this, the resulting abomination cut into the bumper shown below is the result. She then sat for about 18 months in 2011 when my mum got a new car (mostly due to my begging to keep it for me which I'm still amazed to this day worked) Since i turned 17 and got into cars she has had some attention, polishing ect.. , new speakers and amp but nothing major and still pretty limited use (me being only a passenger ) Now 18 and have a decentish job while studying my HND/Degree the spending can begin/continue Long term goal is to get her to a better condition she left the factory in and just get some experience with a supra while saving for a TT/6 Currently the car is with supraloopey getting the door replaced, wing mirrors sprayed, front bumper changed for one without holes and a non-cracked oem lip fitted along with facelift indicators
