Me either, not a single one and im on the road at work.

Yeah, thats deffo part of it, it really is just an expensive ornament, one thats in the way.

It would of been lovely having the turbo conversion but i couldnt justify the cost and work involved especially when i learned that the NA auto box would have to be replaced or modified to handle the extra power.

I think thats the best bet. Im not in need of the money although its always nice, its the space that i really need. I cant even park the Supra outside on the drive under a cover whilst i use the garage for detailing because it would get nicked or damaged around here. I used to be able to sneak a few cars in the back garden as it was council wasteland but they built a carpark and theres a large raised grass verge there now which would be an absolute pain to try and get the Supra over when nobody is watching! Ill give it some thought over the next couple of months.

Problem is, I've no interest in driving around a track. I'm sure I will enjoy driving it on the odd drive out during summer (if this ever ends) but is it worth keeping for half a dozen drives out during the summer? Don't get me wrong, I'd be very sad to see it go but I could be doing so much more if I had the space it's taking in the garage and I cant park it on the drive as it would either be gone in the morning or wrecked around here.

Ive not used the Supra since last summer and to be honest ive not even had the urge to use it. I also could do with the space in the garage to detail cars. Im thinking of selling up but i dont want to sell now and then the prices suddenly rocket. Mines only an NA auto but its in great condition and unmolested and whilst i realise its never going to be worth a fortune like a 6sp turbo, its still a Supra at the end of the day. Ive noticed there are no 7-8 grand cars being advertised recently, everything seems over 10K even some that look rough. Theres also the issue of regret. Am i just going through a phase and ill regret selling it in 6 months? I always said i would never sell it but i really do not feel the excitement or urge to even wash all the dust off it that its collected over winter. Do i sell it and free up garage space and the cash or do i wait and see how i feel over summer?

Now that is interesting. Thanks for reply.

Has anybody managed to swap the indicator stalk from right to left maybe using the stalks out of a later model Toyota? Is it even possible?

Whats the best way to tackle this? Car is completely rust free but just starting to bubble slightly on one corner of the rear glass so in spring i want to try and tackle it before it gets too bad. I know its a glass out job to do it proper but how have people treated it without it coming back? Seems like the factory paint is thin on those corners and water gets under the seal on the curve of the glass and sits there. Im thinking its a cut out metal and weld in new steel job but its going to be hard to keep the right shape.

Mask it up properly, give it a light rub with some fine wet and dry paper and then give it some light coats of satin black paint thats suitable for use on plastic. Ive done this before on MR2 window rubbers and they came up like new. The only bit i wouldnt advise doing is the rear window surround as the plastic is not the kind that the paint will take to unless you do a fair bit of prep first and you really need the glass out for that. - - - Updated - - - Mask it up properly, give it a light rub with some fine wet and dry paper and then give it some light coats of satin black paint thats suitable for use on plastic.

Ive got an Autowatch fitted. It always makes me laugh when you try to open then lock the car too fast, it sounds like its in agony!

Only problem with putting it in the boot is that somebody could watch you going to the boot every night before you go into the house. Its up to you but id put the switch somewhere you can reach it whilst in the car so you can flick it over discreetly without anybody knowing.

LOL, my cousin had 3 in the 90s and every one got robbed.

I think a kill switch is good idea as long as you tap into the loom behind the dash where it cant be seen and can isolate something that cant easily be bypassed. Then you need to think about finding somewhere to hide the switch, perhaps behind the dash somewhere where you can just about get to it and it cant be seen. My car has an alarm and immobiliser that was fitted when i got the car, its garaged with an alarm on the garage and ive got CCTV pointing at both garage doors and i never leave it parked anywhere else otherwise i would deffo fit a kill switch. Im more concerned about being hijacked when im putting fuel in or opening the garage door to be honest but if you're a big dude that eats his corned beef i guess thats less likely to happen.

Thanks for the reply guys
