  1. I love the white one! What's that grill?
  2. Well it's better to have them and not need them, than to need them and not have them! i.e. being knocked off. Nah, my goal is to swap out the washers for folding mirrors, something a little more useful...lets just say it's a secret option we never got on the UK specs! I guess they weren't aware of how tiny garages are here. Anyone know why they were even put on this spec?
  3. Yeah this would be the desired option not that any of them are perfect, finding parts for this car is just a pita. The only reason I'd consider filling and respraying is my bumper could do with a respray anyway, the holes could always be opened up later and it would still be as it was. Meh, I'll see.
  4. Yeah, want them gone tbh but still keep em just in case. I see grams is doing all the OEM bumpers and skirts now just wary of the quality/fitment of 3rd party 'OEM fit' stuff. I did have a spare bumper a while ago but it needed so much work to rectify it that I sold it thinking I'd get a better one...still looking.
  5. I hate the lamp washers on my UK Spec, they look stupid, they don't work and they are a nice thing for someone to kick in the night. I also want to remove the old switch, I'd rather install a more useful switch in there... I'm considering if I should: 1. Remove them and blank the holes, not sure what with. It would look off and the paint is cracked around the washers. 2. Remove them and fill in the holes and respray it...can always be opened up again in the future for dat UK Spec look. 3. Just get another J Spec front bumper...but they are almost impossible to find...and I'll have a whole bumper doing nothing then, which is kinda wasteful. But the end goal is to make it look like a EU Spec I guess.
  6. So if you have a Pink and Orange wire coming out of your mirror to the 5 pin plug, does that mean it's a Folding mirror? There's physically no way to tells what's what... And still, there's threads saying you can ONLY have 1 function but there are 9 pin plug out there with alleged 7 wires..which should have both?
  7. Damn, this would have been perfect but I'm not on FB. Thanks anyway.
  8. Looking for a set of Power/Folding Mirrors (switch, loom, relay? would be nice, if at all possible). Prepared to pay a little extra, within reason of course. Thanks
  9. I just expanded on my question but thanks for replying. Is it a big hassle to wire them into a standard loom? I did this conversion with a JDM MR2 once. Got the looms, switch, relay?...and the power mirrors. Everything just fell into place. Best mod ever and I miss not having it on this car.
  10. Does anyone have a photo of a power/folding mirror plug? I'm confused, they say power/folding mirrors have 7 wires (9 pin plug?) but I've seen people selling 'folding mirrors' here and they were 5 wires... I also read you can't have heated AND power/folding mirrors. If a heated mirror has 5 wires, then what are the other 2 wires (on the 7 wire folding one) for, if they are not heated? Thanks
  11. They are quite a bit cheaper than the rest and I can get matching fronts too... No, because I won't be able to drive the car then!
  12. Will need new rears for my stock 17's. Currently have Pilot Sport 2 but also found F1 Asymmetric 2 and Vendtus S1 Evo 2 on blackcircles. I'm looking for a tire that is good in the wet and good on fuel, Vendtus S1 Evo 2 on paper has better fuel economy while costing in between the other two, but will it wear quicker? All three are rated A for wet grip. Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2 are dirt cheap in comparison to Pilot Sport 2 but do they really last longer?
  13. Basically, if I'm looking to delete the diff oil cooler, what diameter TEFEN straight/elbow and Mikalor clamps would I need? Looking to delete right where the rubber hose ends and the tube begins to disappear behind the plastic cover leading up to the rad. I don't have the car with me so that's why I'm asking. Much appreciated
  14. I take it there isn't a copy uploaded anywhere? Probably more expensive to maintain than to buy! lol
  15. For Euro/UK spec stuff? I own genuine 1993 US manuals and some backups but not a Euro/UK one...
  16. Well, I guess the picture does say it all. I'll just have to get OEM as I do care about my Supra. Good looking out. It's just that I've never got parts for a Supra before and it's NOT easy these days finding them, not just brakes and pads. It's pretty much looking at the online catalog to make sure the part is correct and then off making quotes to see who can offer the best price...and I keep giving up lol Who would you recommend for competitive OEM prices and good to deal with?
  17. I understand OEM is superior but are they really that bad? Even for a stock car, normal road use? I read BLUE PRINT are a decent brand and the pads at least, are stamped made in Japan.
  18. Noticed my pads are wearing thin and my discs MAY need replacing too. Been looking at OEM stuff but found BLUE PRINT discs and pads a lot cheaper. No crazy sh*t, just for regular road use. I just wanted confirmation that these will fit a UK Spec, numbers SEEM to check out. Front brake pad ADT34251 (only the 1 type, OEM has 2...) Rear brake pad ADT34250 Front brake disc ADT343158 Rear brake disc ADT343111 Anyone know if there is an aftermarket kit for the clips and/or shims? I found a quality Delphi kit for my MR2 in the past...
  19. I didn't realize things were so dire. Really hope the forum doesn't die, it's such a great community and for people that don't live close to a Supra specialist this is a must. PS: Dnk, thanks.
  20. I have been a Club member on here since late 2014 and since I was looking of a Supra to buy I had to buy Club Membership so I got a years worth and ended up a getting MKIV later in early 2015. Again, I was looking for some parts to buy around late 2015/early 2016 so bought another year. Wasn't using the forum much after but in early 2017 I needed something and was struggling with sending messages so I bought another Club Membership for another year... I've been trying to contact a few folk to help me at least upgrade to Lifetime (as I paid it 3 times now and it say in the sticky to get in touch) but I can't even send a damn message, been having real problems contacting people on here this year... You'll have to forgive me, I don't use this forum often so I don't know how everything works etc.. IIRC that's roughly how it went down, they must a have a more precise record. If someone could help me out that would be great. Thanks
  21. Looking for an OEM 93-96 JDM Front Bumper in 040 that won't need refinishing. Original finish is preferred as long as it's in good condition, preferable with lower lip and turn signals.
  22. HarleyFDMD, I actually want to keep my UK Spec bumper ether on or off, I would not be concerned for the washers if passers by could be trusted...
  23. I want to remove and blank my UK Spec lamp washer holes but I don't want to fill the holes permanently, I just want them off so they don't get damaged. I really like them but read that they are impossible to get a hold of. Just looking for something like blanking plates, I'd love it to be flush but the cracking and discoloration around the washers will look bad. I doubt I'll find a front JDM bumper in good condition already finished in 040 White...
  24. Thanks! 3/8 is perfect I have some scraps of 3/8 tube, just picked up a set of jubilee clips, one of them is bound to fit the hose. Once I get the sizes I can get a decent set of straights and t bolts. I know not getting coolant to the ICV is not a HUGE issue, as I thought about doing that to my MR2 one time but I just wanna keep the MK4 stock. Thanks:thumbs:
