  1. Makes sense. Hopefully it's just not getting a reading as the pipe its connected to has popped off or something! I will update this thread once I've had the car inspected at Magnum by Darren.
  2. I can't remember the colour of the tint, it didn't really bother me to be honest...
  3. Autoglass were able to source this for me a few years ago. I doubt this will have changed.
  4. They were only advertising it on behalf of their customer rather than marketing it as one of their own import vehicles. In good faith, I didn't request a compression test but again, in fairness, it was running fine when I collected it.
  5. I believe it stands for Air Charge Temperature... there was a reading on the toucan then all of a sudden, there was no reading and that's when all the issues started.
  6. Light spread and range have always been concerns.
  7. I think this excerpt leaves some scope for argument as it is rather ambiguous and open to interpretation; "If it is clear that such a conversion has been carried out, rather than replacing the entire unit with one designed and approved for use with HID bulbs".
  8. I assume they done some sort of check as the pictures would indicate that they at least had it on a ramp... speaking with my lawyer hat on, I could possibly argue that they are liable in tort and my decision to proceed with the purchase was based on their all clear... but that's not the avenue I'd look to pursue at this stage. I think I'll wait to see what Darren has to say about the issue and depending on that, I'll make a decision on the next course of action. I just don't want to go nuclear and drive/tow a car circa 250 miles just because a pipe has popped off or any other trivial issue.
  9. To be fair, it was running ok when I collected it. This issue only presented itself on my way home yesterday and only after a pretty spirited run so my gut is telling me; a pipe has popped off or something... its done ~100k miles/kms so not astronomical for a 2JZ I wouldn't think. I may pop over and see Darren over at Magnum Performance on Saturday, hopefully he'll be able to shed some light on the issue.
  10. I would take it back but unfortunately they were only selling it on behalf of their customer...
  11. Right, barely made it home in my single turbo this evening, the car feels like it's misfiring, it certainly isn't boosting right, it's running super rich and I've also noticed that there is no ACT reading on the Toucan display. Any ideas guys? Could it be a dodgy sensor or boost leak perhaps?
  12. Hi chaps, sorry but a local guy who had previously enquired about my seats has just decided to swap me his standard leathers with extra cash my way!
  13. I will be very surprised if Toyota actually pulls through with this. Here's to hoping though...
  14. I have a set of recently retrimmed Corbeau leather seats with the supra logo embossed on the back. These came with my new Supra however I am a man of large build and find them rather 'tight'... happy to do a straight swap for some standard facelift black leathers. Pictures to follow shortly.
  15. Don't tempt me!! I don't have space on my drive/in my garage for a fleet of Supras though!! Lol
  16. I would probably consider them if I did the whole social media Facebook thing...
  17. Here are a few pics of my other Supra, can't wait to get her in the workshop and on the dyno too...
  18. An extra sprinkle here and there is always welcome! So as far as we're aware, it only has an HKS FCD, secondary decat, HKS TI cat back and air filter... Not complaining about the result though!!!
  19. Are you jelly? Lee and I were quite surprised by those numbers if I'm honest though.
  20. That's if Toyota didn't naturally replace them with the plastic lights? I'm not too sure to be honest. Some regulations can be applied retrospectively but admittedly, vehicular law isn't my forte.
  21. Just had it on the dyno at SRD. It produced a whopping 370whp ~ 435bhp with just an aftermarket air filter and HKS cat back exhaust, it's even still got the primary cat in place!
