Moved out of Tech. I agree with Pixelfill, the going rate for a good engine alone is about £1500, the gearbox isn't really worth anything (couple of hundred)

Chris posted in some more recent threads about his preferences for a narrower wheel and higher tyre wall for a track car. It's not something I can see as very helpful on a road going car that isn't going to be pushing the limits of grip on every turn of the wheel. ...and this is headed off-topic already The fact is, the wheels the OP has are far outside the specifications Toyota designed the suspension for. I don't think it a good idea to recommend he continue with such a non-standard wheel size without undertaking the suspension work required to use those size wheels.

For a track car

7.5in is far too narrow for a Supra, get some new wheels of the correct size: Minimum: 17x8 with 235/45 front and 17x9.5 255/40 rear Or 18x8 235/40 front and 18x9.5 265/35 rear -50 offset on both.

Good to hear it's where you want it now 11s qtr is going to be a real challenge first time out! Are you putting some grippy tires on? Best of luck with the run, good to know some of these singles are going to get used in anger

Agree with that, it's one of the nicest cars on the forum IMO

Not surprising! Just thought it worth mentioning To be fair your quotes seem about right compared to most others mentioned here (although Jon's seems exceptionally good!)

In the policy it normally states something about cancelations, e.g: Cancel after 3 months you get 50% after 6 months 25% after 9 months 10% It's normally imposed by the policy rather than by the broker.

I don't beleive this is something specific to Sky, I've had the same problem with several insurance companies in the past. When I swapped from the Supra to BMW this year I got a very good deal, they matched my best quote so renewed with them anyway... It's a shame that it works this way, but it's just the way the industry works...

Which Aplan office ar eyou talking too? Thatcham is the one that runs the special schemes (at least it was last year)
-
Could it be one of those daughter board additions that we saw the other week here? I seriously doubt some UK outfit would go to the bother of making one (or even if they have the skill), but it's a possibilty isn't it? Might be worth splitting the ECU open to see if anythings been touched inside. Does anyone know if there is some sort of seal to see if it's been opened before?

You might want to remove that address once it's been seen imi! (Spam)

Nice one Pabs, been a long time coming! Looks a lot better since it was dragged out of that scrap yard. Joking!
-
Nice. Needs some aftermarket skirts and a Veilside spoiler...
-
Yeah, you're probably right there Carl0s.
-
Put your handbags away guys! Something a bit fishy going on there then... Check the VIN number stamped on the back of the firwall (Just to the right of the brake master cylinder) amd also check the date stamp on the seatbelt tag, just make sure it all ties up to a 93 car.

£1500 sounds pretty normal to be honest. It cost £1350 to insure my single and I'm 32.

First pic you are correct Second pic, 1 and 2 are correct. No 3 is the cam breather so should be connected to the intake after the filter but before the compressor (or via catch can if you have one) Third pic you are correct Forth pic: 1 and 2 are a boost pressure supply, only one of these is needed (to the boost controller In or Out port, I forget). 3 is not needed but could be an intake temp sensor if its on the compressor. 4 You're correct

You got a warning, the same as everyone else does the first time they break the no-swearing rule.

Thats exactly the same method I used.

It's not a facelift is it (chassis number starts with a '1' ?). A 001100 places it as an Oct-93 car. If it's not a facelift then it's more than likely an error by DVLA where they've issued a reg plate based on it's registration date rather than manufacture date. It was a common problem a few years ago.
