To be honest i dont do many miles and dont thrash the car but i hate dirty wheels and i dont always have chance to wash the car. I do like the look of drilled/grooved discs but if they will dirty the wheels quicker then id rather just stick to standard discs.

Do drilled or grooved brake discs produce more brake dust on the wheels?

I misread the title of the post and thought it said 'its a DOG'.I was looking at the pics thinking if thats a dog mine must be rough as hell..... and i thought id bought one in great condition!

So is it bad to move the shifter between L-2-D without the MANU button pressed?

Just had it apart and fixed it! It was as i expected a bad solder joint, works perfect now. Trouble is, i put the thing back together and all was working fine and then another bulb on the buttons went out. Tapped the dash and it came back on. Then the damn warning lights on the right hand side of the instrument panel wasnt lighting up when i turned the ignition on so played about with the wires behind and they came back on. Ive never known a more fickle dashboard illumination set up than these damn things and the variety of bulbs used is mind boggling! Why not just use the same style bulb instead of about 4 different kinds?

You star. Thanks!

Thanks guys, makes sense now

Got a 94 auto. It's the first auto I've ever had. I've no owners manual and I'm wondering exactly how the manual button next to the gearstick works? As far as I can tell, it doesn't seem to do anything other than light up on the dial when pressed.

Yeah tried moving them around and nothing. Only pushing on one of the bulbs makes them both come on. I'm pretty sure it's a dry solder joint with age or broken circuit board copper track. I'm just scared of fully opening the thing up in case I break it and then I'm left with no heater controls at all.

So with a quick search it seems it is common for the heater dials to stop lighting up and its not the bulbs that are blown. If i play around and push on the bulb holders they come on but then as soon as i click the dash panel back in place they go off. Im assuming a bad solder joint on the circuit board but has anybody actually found which joint is usually the culprit? I took the heater control partially apart but then chickened out as i guessed that if i break the thing im screwed with no heater or fan at all. Its really annoying driving at night and not being able to see the position of the dials! Has anybody managed to fix this problem?

Thanks for replies. I've adjusted the rubbers so that the bonnet isn't even resting on them but still there's a bigger gap between the bonnet and bumper that I'd like. I've seen the same gap on a lot of Supras with OEM bumper so it must just be how they are. Maybe I can elongate the holes where the catches bolt when I can be bothered.

Is there any way to adjust the bonnet so it closes the gap between bumper and bonnet? I looked at the catches but they don't seem to adjust as the holes are not elongated.

How did you get them to do those? Ive looked on their site but the custom mat designer is very basic with no option to add the Supra logo.

Thanks Darren. Yes im already seeing theres a wealth of information available. Seems like a great club!

Just a quick post to say hello. Ive only had my Supra a few weeks so hoping to learn a lot from this forum! Im from Lancashire, England. Ill post some pics when i get chance.
