Not the slickest of websites, but a good service and quick delivery. Used him for a few things now and comes highly recommended on here. Surprised it wasn't the first reply tbh

https://www.tcbparts.co.uk/oldsite/ £27.73 +vat. Got all mine from here. Just give them a call, knowledgeable chap.

A quick Google suggests you can just buy the coloured powder and either put it under the wheels or in the exhaust if you want a cheaper option. https://www.amazon.com/Excite-Colors-Burnout-Exhaust-Tannerite/dp/B07C7WGQNV Not as cool as tyre smoke though.

https://www.fahrwerke-stossdaempfer.de/en/bilstein-product-info/b6-sport/p244/suspension-toyota-supra-80-3-0i-bi-turbo-bilstein-b6-front.html Got mine here. Depending on the exchange rate, it worked out a bit cheaper this way. Delivery was only a couple of days. Paid €500 delivered for all 4

New noise cameras will be used to fine drivers with loud cars
samdale replied to Bender's topic in Supra Chat
This was my thought too. Troll every noise camera in the country with meets near them. You could just keep setting it off for hundreds of cars. -
What can you tell me about these? Is it something you offer? I have a spare A pillar trim ready in case I give in and screw a 2 guage pod to it, but I'd really love 3. As you say, can't find them anywhere. Thinking boost, AFR and a temperature of some kind.

I wouldn't be so concerned about keeping a stock of things but unless you've got a proper low mileage garage queen, there's a lot of preventative maintenance that will be coming up for needing doing. Crank pulley All vac hoses Turbo link pipes Coil pack clips Various major service items like gearbox/diff oil, timing belt, tensioner, pulley etc. Again, maybe you have immaculate service history, but for most cars you'll have no idea when they were last done.

Joined long time ago - looking at Supras seriously now!

Not sure if it matters to you (it did to me), but that's not an RZ but an RZ-S. They all get advertised as an RZ as that's the one everyone has heard of. This age of RZ should come with recaros, active spoiler, carbon steering wheel etc -

If you find any info out about them, please post up about it or message me. I have the same setup currently. -
Just a thought, are all OEM springs the same? A quick look on toyodiy and I've found at least 3 "EDIT:4" different part numbers between models. Maybe springs for kyb shocks are different to those for OEM bilsteins? Toyota part numbers: 48131-1D561 48131-1D582 48131-1D601 48131-1D602

I went for the eibach lowering springs. I know there's already a coilover fitting guide on here but I'll probably take photos as they're fitted and list all parts, prices and suppliers as this seems an increasingly popular choice
-
None that I've managed to find. Yes that's it. Same as the hole in the top mount.
-
No flat edges on my little collar, completely round. It slides over the top, dark part of the shock and stops before the shiny part. Bump stop slides over this and the collar fits snugly into a lip at the top of the bump stop.

-
These are the bits I've just purchased and I "think" are roughly in the right orientation. The mystery piece I think is to support the bump stop. It certainly fits snugly inside and holds it at the top of the shock. I also thought the little lip the spring seat sits on looked a little flimsy! Only part I haven't got pictured is the top mount to assemble it all. I think that's everything?
-
They are. The lid is still available for ~£17 if you find one with a broken lid though. They very rarely come up and as I'm sure you know, are specific to the vvti cars. UK cars also have a MAF but use a different airbox again. Took me the best part of 2 years to find mine so best of luck. Post (and regularly bump) a wanted ad on the Facebook groups too. Beware of people who a) don't know the vvti box is different and b) try and sell you a standard TT box anyway.
-
Great news! With any luck more manufacturers will follow suit. With tighter and tighter regulations on new cars, it probably makes business sense to keep profiting from supporting your old cars than designing and producing a new one. Certainly for more niche cars like ours

Please tell me you realise that's what the little black tube thing is for?
-
This. Basically it cost me £150 to watch blue planet last year. License now cancelled. Haven't watched anything live in over a year, not missed it one bit. I have Prime TV and a mates Netflix and I'm spoiled for choice.

Drivers side A pillar trim if you can post please?

Sorry for the photo rotation, but spot the obvious mistake(s). Great calendar BTW

If you can post the A pillar trim I'll take it. I assume it is drivers side and from a non aerotop? -
Nice Car for Sale: 2000 Toyota Supra VVTi RZ Twin Turbo RSP 6-Speed
samdale replied to Jellybean's topic in Supra Chat
*rz-s Active front spoiler should be standard fit. Either that has been removed or the recaros have been added. Think a facelift RZ should also come with a carbon steering wheel though maybe an option. -
Can't believe he's managed to trim over 7 minutes off his previous best lap!!! [emoji14]
