  1. I’d be up for this. Car is going in for some work next month, so should be good to go way before July
  2. Hi, Just discovered that a couple of my exterior lights aren't working. Specifically one of the full beams and one of the rear 'reds'. Being an import and not knowing what's already in there, I'm going to change the lot including; dipped beams, full beams and all 4 rear rears. What do you guys recommend as the best/brightest for UK roads? I'm on powerbulbs.com at the moment just having a look around and there seem to be a few options. Anything to avoid? Cheers!

    Hi all!

    Thanks for the info! I’ve been in touch with Keron a little and I’ll definitely check out J’s. Bluewater is straight down the M11/M25 for me so not a huge journey. Yeah please send me some more details. If you’re on Instagram, the car is @silversuprauk
  4. Awesome! Thanks for the advice. I’ll take a look.
  5. Reasons he gave were 1) he’s already backed up for work in the US and 2) shipping costs are a bit nuts and some international returns have cost him a bit much in the past.
  6. Not sure, but I imagine he did. He’s also sent me a link to a company in the Netherlands, but their work definitely isn’t as custom as his. https://www.cbsracingshop.com/en/trd-style-toyota-supra-gauge-face-kit-jp-ledworx
  7. Update. Stu no longer does any work for outside of the US…
  8. Just checked again and it’s the same guy. Going to send a follow up email as they ghosted my first one . Their clusters look awesome.
  9. I’ve literally just posted a question about this subject. Should have known it would have already been on the forum! Are these the guys based in Vegas? And are they plug and play?
  10. Hey all, So 3 weeks in and I’m loving the Supra experience so far. Managed to get a few interior things done to modernise the cabin a bit. That leads me onto a few queries I have about what I want to do next. 1) does anyone know whether there’s someone out there who can provide dash/cluster dial and lighting upgrades? I’ve found a company based in the US, but nothing so far for the UK. Mine’s still in KMH, and has the old lighting, so I’d love to get it changed to a cluster with MPH (even if it’s just the inner numbers) and have the full LED lighting upgrade. 2) although I love the look of the outside, it has an aftermarket bonnet, which is a bit too ‘2000s Japan’ for me as I prefer the OEM lines. Other than Whifbitz, has anyone any advice as to where I can get a new OEM bonnet? The one I have now is a genuine Varis, so might be worth something too. Any ideas what it could be worth? Oh, and if you’re that way inclined, please feel free to give me a follow on Instagram @silversuprauk Thanks!

    Hi all!

    I thought that might be the case. I’ll have a shop around. Other than Whifbitz, does anyone have recommendations on where to source new parts? My wish list on their site is already building nicely

    Hi all!

    That’s my worry! Hopefully Magnum come back soon and I can get it down to them for a good going over and some minor bits. On the subject of ‘bits’…any advice on how to replace the manual gear gaiter easily? I’ve seen a few vids online but it looks a bit of a mission!

    Hi all!

    Thanks for the info. SRD and Whifbitz are absolutely miles from me, but Magnum are only about an hour away (I’m in Cambs if there’s anyone close by), so I’ve already dropped them an email.

    Hi all!

    Hi. It’s was £49,995. Probably a little high for what I wanted to pay, but I suppose that’s the market at the moment and the premium for buying from one of the most trusted dealers. The mechanicals are absolutely rock solid though, so I was happy to shell out.

    Hi all!

    Thanks! Yeah it’s super clean. The paintwork and underside are like new (somehow!). Just a few kinks to work out on the interior.

    Hi all!

    Thanks! Yeah I wanted to get something that was mechanically mint and no rust, which is exactly what HJA had. The interior needs a bit of modernising as it’s starting to look it’s age a bit but that’s all secondary to me as it drives lovely. Just looking for a good specialist who I can work with to maintain it now. Any recommendations?

    Hi all!

    Hi! Thanks. It’s from Harlow Jap Autos. They have a few listed on their website (including mine) although I think only one is left now. I’m sure the others will disappear off there early next week.

    Hi all!

    So after shopping around a bit and testing a few Supras local to me, I’ve managed to pick up a factory TT6 and delighted to have driven it home today. The 17-year-old in me is very happy (apart from the rain kind of ruining the day)! Thinking about future care, are there any specialists in the Cambs, Herts, Essex or Beds areas that anyone would recommend for ongoing maintenance? Looking forward to being part of the MKIV community!
  19. I’m considering the same sort of thing with an auto to manual swap. I’m no mechanic though so would need someone to do it for me. What sort of cost would I be looking at for the full works? Is there a trusted specialist that this group could recommend?
  20. That’s what keeps turning me off them. I enquired with them about a 300ZX they had listed a year ago. Back then they told me it was already sold, but it’s still on their site for sale 12 months later. I’m also looking into the possibility of importing one. Any import companies to avoid?
  21. This is exactly why I joined this site! Thanks for the advice. I think the description about how well it’s been looked after is pushing me to go and see it. I’m happy to sit there for hours looking through that ‘5 inch thick folder’, so maybe I’ll find something there. Want to make sure I find something decent and not a bodge job.
  22. Hi. Which one did you go and see? I’m planning on giving them a call today about the silver TT6 manual they have for sale. Also, how did you find them to deal with? I’m completely new to the Supra world, so looking to get as much advice as possible before potentially shelling out.
