    I want an S15

    Ah, I didn’t realise they were only good for about 400hp, need To look into how much a built bottom end would be on one. Although 400hp in a 1300kg should still be pretty quick, but if that’s the borderline safe limit then might have to think about that. Oh dear so that basically meant new engine?? I kind of agree, needs a big gay wing on the back

    Nice!! Welcome, chances are the car will be known on the forum. Do you have any information on it??
  6. Thanks Alex, I think you were one of the reasonable ones iirc My renewal on the Supra is actually due now and I am awaiting the renewal price to come through, I’ll be in touch
  7. I was a little bit disappointed with Sky this time round. I had insured my m3 with them for 3 years or so I think, as well as having the supra with them. When renewing the m3 this year they were £200 out against Reis and wouldn’t budge, despite using the same underwriters and my history with them. There are a few there which are friendly and easy to deal with but there are a couple which aren’t so accommodating
  8. they're probably already flat so no biggy i guess
  9. What you moving onto now? shame to see another member go

    Ebay Supra

    i wondered this yesterday - the title says SZ which makes me think it's a converted car and people havent noticed. Think that part was only added in the last day or so. Needs A lot of work, and haven't even seen the interior you can tell that underside is going to be very crusty

    Water Ingress

    Hi All, Seeing as we can't do much i'm going to try and tackle a couple niggles on the Supra Two of the things which bother me are; If i open the boot and remove the inside trim, if i follow my hand down behind the rear lights and a bit lower to the "boot floor" in the corners it seems to collect a bit of water after a wash/rain. I'm not sure where the water is getting in as i have checked the light seals and aerial and they appear to be fine on both sides. I'm not talking huge amounts, just a capful. Any ideas on what else to check? The other one is the door sill, when it rains water collects on the sill when the door is closed (between the door, and the sill). It doesn't happen on the other side. This means that mucky water stains gather on the sill rather than run off anywhere, or the rest of the car dries, but when i open the door, water comes out. I believe the water collects on the roof, then runs down the A pillar outside, down through the door/front wing and i thought it was meant to run out somewhere, however it gathers. Any idea on what to check? Inside the door itself behind the door card is bone dry. Many thanks Taylor
  12. Hi James You’ve worked on my car a few times too! Looking forward to the write up on the black car as you’ve done quite a bit iirc Still have the MX5? Edit: just seen above post! Looking awesome
  13. One on eBay at £150 if it helps
  14. I tried them but they said the car had to be garaged every night which would be such a pain in the arse
  15. That's good news. Hopefully can help others with the links above anyway as the UK Gov ones don't take into account imports
  16. I was surprised I couldn’t find any posts on this but it appears Toyota are recalling a lot of the 90s era Supras because the airbags when inflated can cause shrapnel to go flying and kill, or under inflate Obviously a bit tricky with imports but you can check if your car needs a recall on the Toyota JP recall page. https://www.toyota.co.jp/recall-search/dc/result It says it mainly effects 97-98 supras. I wonder if I’ll be able to take a 97-98 wheel that wasn’t even on my car in to get a new airbag.. People are intimating that they will now be forced to reproduce an up to date version https://www.supraforums.com/threads/1997-1998-supra-airbag-recalled-however-that-part-may-be-discontinued.1119859/#post-13913261 https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.carfax.com/blog/car-recall-toyota-vehicles-for-new-takata-airbag-issue/amp/
  17. Bump - anybody been clearing some room in their shed
  18. Maybe - i spoke to JDM Distro and he said market is still pretty bouyant but you could be right about the bigger production plants etc. I think wheels may be essential mate, not sure you can drive a car without them! Could be wrong though
  19. Need some cheering up, so going to buy a new OEM 6 speed knob. Seen one on nengun for about £90 wondered if anyone else has any good leads on one
