I think the complaint is justified tbh. I use a wheelchair to get about and their is nothing more frustrating than vehicles on pavements blocking your path.

That would be me Do you often park your car outside the Abbygate?

I've found the supra the easiest car to date to live with. My last car didn't have an electric seat so it had a pretty much "fixed" position making it difficult to lift chair across your chest. My wheelchair is a sports chair with a folding back and fits easily into the back seat, with the wheels directly behind me. I find it easier to do this as the armrest/storage compartment is quite high which makes lifting the chair out the passenger side awkward. Just beware when parking in disabled parking bays though! It seems that many people find it hard to believe that a "disabled" person can drive a sportscar. I've had many people swearing at me and i was once informed that my blue badge must be a good fake

Lol. Oh the shame!

The light goes completely off. i.e not able to read the mileage. The odo still works but have to switch the lights off to view it. If you see what i mean:eek:

Thanks for the replys guys!! Don't know where i would be without this place! Definately worth becoming a full member! Went out for a drive last night, no burning smells or smoke! lol Have looked at the wires behing the dash, they all seem to be ok as far as i can see. But for safety sake i'll get an auto electricain to double check once i've fitted an new dimmer switch. (hopefully form Supra TT Myster) Oh, does anyone know by chance if the odometer lights are connected to the dimmer switch? Just that when the headlights are off, the odometer back light is on but when i switch the headlights on the odometer back light goes off! This has been like this since i bought it.

Not not me. But yes he is a member on here. His name is roboldham i believe...type in "filming at top gear today"

Not sure what's happening! Started the car with the lights off and held onto the metal part which connects onto the dimmer switch dial. There is no heat until I switch on the lights. After about a minute of holding on it gets unbearably hot. Have taken off the dashboard and removed the (melted) cream box that controls the dash light brightness. I’m now a little scared to go out for a drive because I’m paralysed and getting out the car quickly is not easy. Any advice from any electrical experts would be appreciated. Oh and does anyone have this item for sale? Thanks! Sorry i can't upload any pics...seems to be disabled:eek:

Was driving home last night and noticed a faint burning smell. The smell disappeared after 5 mins or so. Was a bit worried at the time but thought nothing of it until i went out to the car this morning! Opening the door i noticed a small black object in the footwell. I believe the object is the dash light dimer dial, that is next to the ignition. The very worring thing is that it hasn't just fallen off. Its melted off! I'm going to attempt to take the dash off tonight to get a look...hopefully its just an isolated problem and not a tangled mess of melted wires. Has this happened to anyone else?

Thanks Hamish! Wish i could do that! Oh the wheels are HIJOIN 18" http://www.rochfordtyres.co.uk/uploads/images_products/304.jpg

Thanks for the responses! Not sure on the type of speed convertor/ speed limit defensor type but i phoned the importer today and they said it's a "cheap all in one" at around £130. There is a dearer option of £300. They've told me to bring it down, possibly engine management they said. Not convinced though as no warning lights are showing. I'm not "deffo" on whether it is a rev limit of fuel cut. How can i tell? Not sure if the cats are in place either. Will get someone to check this out promto! And yes the revs cut between 5800 and 7200 rpm. But this happens in all gears even neutral.

Have had my supra now for 4 months with no major problems, with the better weather coming in i'm starting to use the car to it's potential! But i'm noticing that 1. The second turbo doesn't "kick in" now and again. When this happens i let off the throttle and try again and seems to work fine. 2. The revs limits to 5750 rpm sometimes. Have reset the ECU tonight but no joy...any ideas anyone? Thanks in advance Specs Jap import, Auto TT 94 Standard apart from Hks BOV and induction kit P.s sorry if its a bit vague...first technical post! Still learning

Yeah sorry should have said..uploading from the hardrive. Well trying to.

LOL! Oh well that didn't seem to work!

Hi fellow owners!! Been a member for a month or so now and a supra owner for 4 months. I have to admit i'm a BBS addict! Log on here most days to get my fix! Have been asked to show a pic of my "Beast" from a previous thread so here it goes...fingers crossed. P.s Sorry about the pic quality. It's from my camera phone.

Had a simialr crash in a Mk3 Fiesta when i was 19...was taking a cambered bend about 12 o'clock at night in January. Not sure to this day what happened, but i know the road very well and the back end fish tailed. Before i knew it, i was down an embankment, into a field, car on it's roof and me...did a superman out the drivers window! Lay there until 3am in the morning until the police stopped. Lucky to be alive...docters told my parents that because i was young and fit i managed to pull through. Then spent a year in hospital. Anyways...just wanted to say, remember your own safety and others! Always wear a seatbelt, and you won't be doing a "Super man" out the screen or side windows. And how Ironic is this...i ended up like the "real" superman. Stuck in a wheelchair due ot paralysis.

I'm just outside Arbroath Grazer.

Hi all! First post! Bought a j-spec twin turbo a few months ago and loving every minute of it! Anyway, back to the subject. My bumper has the gap on the front (93 model) so went searching on the net for grills. Came across a company in the States http://www.grille-tech.com Bought one for £38 including shipping. Decent i though. Will let you know how the installation goes. Just got it yestarday! Lee
