  1. Got a pair of genuine veilside skirts in white. They are pretty good condition but do have a very minor hairline crack on one side - all I can see is reps online so not sure what these are worth
  2. As per title, many thanks Need the whole unit
  3. Can anyone recommend a good bodyshop in Hampshire or surrounding areas that are used to working with cars like supras? Going to need the doors to be taken off and boot hatch for a bit of spraying but want to use somewhere trustworthy that will take care
  4. Noz, would you be able to fit the rings if i send them to you with the headlight (they were purchased from you)
  5. Also interested I don’t know if I cba to do mine
  6. The bit that goes up and down and the cable attached. Many thanks [ATTACH=CONFIG]231918[/ATTACH]
  7. was looking for one for ages, then 4 has come up at once lol
  8. Thanks for all the tips guys - i did try a clay bar before but it did nothing. In the end the suggestion of using bug and tar remover worked perfectly - got a brush and agitated it in. Got 90% of the muck off, still needs to be painted but at least it's not embarrassing to roll around in now lol
  9. I'll try and get some photos tonight mate
  10. Yeh i think thats what i'll do - just a pain lol
  11. My gosh what a PITA. 5 hours later I managed to get most of the bolts off but 4 of them just spin round and round. I gave up in the end and just put the nuts back on.. Is there an easier way of removing the stock lip to Put the V2 splitter on? If I grind them off how will I attach the new one? I tried jacking the car up but you just cannot get behind that bottom rim. If I take the bumper off does it give you a lot more to work with? I can’t believe there is no tutorial for this
  12. Hi all Took the hideous veilside skirts off and it’s caked with grime underneath I’ve got the top of the sills being resprayed where it has rubbed the paint off. Is it just worth getting the side of the sills done at the same time? I’ve tried soap, cutting compound other various things. I did try a very small patch with meth spirits, although it took most off, I could tell rubbing anymore would take the paint off
  13. Btw I do have a High idle. Just cleaned out the ICV but no difference Edit: idle now all good
  14. Hi guys Picked up my TT6 yesterday which was imported Is it normal for the engine to rattle when turning it off? Literally for 2 seconds as the revs go to 0 Many thanks Taylor

    BPU Question

    @dnk @jonc Thanks Guys - really appreciate the comments. The car is being imported through Torque GT and alot of the stuff has been checked over - as per below photo. I have also had the Engine Oil, Gearbox and Diff oil, cambelt, waterpump and spark plugs done aswell. (New tyres too) - i do plan to change the brakes for UK ones eventually. I'll check the intercooler and radiator when it arrives - any recommendations of these if they need replacing? Ive heard mishimoto do good rads. If anything is shot it will be getting replaced. I am really hoping that the heater matrix is fine as i've heard that is a right PITA. Interesting about the HKS filter - i always assumed the hks stuff was good, however i did just read that apparently people have found it only channels hot air from the engine so will look to replace that. Hopefully can find a stock airbox somewhere but they are rocking horse sherbert. I'm not sure on the drive belts but according to Torque it looks in good condition. I guess with anything like this it's just a process of learning and trial and error. Many thanks for the input guys

    BPU Question

    Thanks guys, Was just debating whether I should do it all, boost controller etc straight off the bat or whether to just take it easy

    BPU Question

    Hi All Planning on picking the Supra up next week and want to take it to BPU pretty quick. It currently has the HKS Silent Hi Power and an HKS mushroom filter. Am I best off buying the BPU sets of Whitbitz and asking them or SRD to fit the parts for me, or is there a better way to do it? I don’t mind tackling work myself but last thing I want to do is overboost and cause an issue (no boost gauge or AFR on the cards yet. Or are these musts?) Here to learn - thanks JDM spec so I guess 1.2 bar for too long is not wise? Edit: also going to Japfest tomorrow so if anyone there wants to share some advice it would be awesome
