Hi, Ive noticed that first tme i start the car, for about 3secs straight after the car starts a little smoke blows from the exhaust, always when the engine is cold, i dont get smoke any other time, is that normall, i only noticed once a oil change was done, they have over filled her slightly, just above max, would this cause it? any advise would be great!, also using top grade oil which is fully synthetic thanks Jamie

Ok Thanks! ill give him a go!

Anyone know where i can get Jap Spec rear pads for a 1994 tt , Thanks Jamie:baa:
-
Update, sorry they could be 8.5" wide!!!! just phoned dealer! DOH should have done this first.................. So could i fit a 255 on a 8.5?
-
Darren, Im not sure they are 7.5, ive looked at the net and i can only find my wheels @ a 18x7.5 i may have to change them, having said that they dont look to big for the rim, and the fronts are225 @ the mo and they do look small for the rim? MMM new wheels !!!!!!!!!
-
Yeah thats what i thought, fronts are the same rim so im gona stick 235s on them (225s at the mo) and if i can get 255s on the rear rim i will, unfortunatlly i cant buy 2 new back wheels because they only do up to 7.5s which i have already, which means if i cant get 255s on then it may be time for a new set and stick these ones on EBAY!!! Im hoping the dealer was being tight, because he had to supply the wheels and tyres, so he would have saved money by fitting the thinest tyre he could!, anyway, if you find out or if anyone knows for sure It would be a great help Thanks :baa:

Hi All, anybody help, im new here anyway and youve been very helpfull, ive only had the car a few weeks, and although its in good nik, it had its alloy wheels changed for new ones, It looks like they are 18x7.5, the current rear tyre is a 235x40 18, i thought they had to be a minimum of 245 on the TT will a 245 fir on a 7.5 rim ????? Any info would be a great help......

Thanks i forgot about the fluid probaly use DOT 5.1 and i think there is a 6??? fully synthetic isnt there???, i hope there as good as everyone says, i was motoring the other day braked hard from 120 (any police here???? it was KPH honest ) and missed my left turn:p ive only ever gone fast on my bike before, as my last car was an old SAAB, the bikes shod with AP goodies so stopping wasnt a problem, but i have to say i never ever thought the supra TT (jap Spec) was as fast as this, I love it!
-
Yeah i thought so, thanks !!! very much for your reply, i get fed up with know it all's putting there 2 cents in, I ordered the brakes from Airedale Toyota and they should be here within a week, gona put uprated pads on the rear and braided lines all round cant wait, only had the car a few weeks and its fab, brakes first then induction kit, then zorst, then a new IC, and maybe a Dump valve if i cant work out what the benifit is???? cheers

Hi All, i havent started yet but has anybody changed the brakes on there Jap car to UK spec??????, if they have could you let me know what sort of problems you had?., i would be a great help, Im aware of the backing plate being removed or bent out of the way but apart form that i have no idea what to expect?, lots of non supra owners have said OOOOhhhhh mounting plates for the extra disc clearance another said what about the master cylinder!!!!!!, anyway instead of listening to rubbarb can any of you help out and give me a clear picture,,,,,,,
-
Yeah, ive heard that they fit no problem but niggles in the back of my head keep wondering, iv eorderd them now so its probally to late, Ive only had the car 2 weeks looking forward `the meets,
