  1. I don't have any problems at all with my 19's.
  2. One more to come out then, it broke away leaving a relatively small central core.
  3. Are you a member of Supraforums in the US? If not I can put the pics up. Post 10 and onwards. http://www.supraforums.com/forum/showthread.php?t=444508
  4. I went two weeks ago and I'm going again on Tuesday to get my crown fitted, the colour was matched to my other teeth. £194 The following day after my first visit the adjacent tooth completely broke away, I think he'll be asking if I want it taken out or to have another crown.

    Tell the paint shop and let them take care of it for you, there's little point in doing it yourself.
  6. Isn't it his business if he wants wheels that look like this, I've seen far worse? I appreciate your point regarding cheap wheels though. But if they're okay for a BMW they should be okay on a NA Supra too if they fitted.
  7. A pound of bananas! Toyota will sell it. http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=56684
  8. What did the gauge read before you went BPU? Which exhaust do you have?
  9. They won't fit. You need 5 holes at 114.3 PCD , these are 120.
  10. I can appreciate some aspects of the car but as a total package it's horrible.
  11. I'm sure we've all done daft things like this in one way or other.
  12. I didn't realise that they made them to fit like this.
  13. I think it's you, you're the one who's making such a big deal about it. Switch channels if it bothers you that much. I haven't seen a lot on the TV at all, some last Saturday on BBC1 and a little since then and obviously more today. The rest of the UK? I'm not a Man Utd fan, far from it.
  14. I would only connect it to a ceiling rose or junction box on the lighting circuit itself. I wouldn't connect it to the wiring that the previous owner had installed which the chocolate block is part of as you don't know if this was fitted correctly in the first place. Using 2.5mm twin and earth is fine but like you say it is harder to work with.
  15. The plane will take off. The propellor or the jet engine pushes or pulls the plane forward through the air which isn't moving so you then get air moving over the wing and it produces lift. The wheels are free to rotate and don't come into the equation at all.
  16. The stock scissor jack used to work fine with the Toyota skirts. I now use a spare scissor jack that I had for the van, it's very strong. Sometimes I just drive up onto a couple of 2" planks and then use the trolley jack under the front subframe or the diff.
  17. Is your car modified, if so I think you need specify what's been done to the car?
  18. If I recall correctly there should be a mounting bracket on the upper section of the aperture. I bolted a piece of 4mm aluminium plate (a little smaller than the number plate) to this with countersink machine bolts and then stuck my plate to this. This method has the advantage of not sticking anything to the bumper itself and so protecting the paintwork. But you could also bolt the number plate directly to the mounting bracket.

    I think you need to answer this yourself. It really depends on how much money you can spare, your personal taste when it comes to choosing body parts and what your car looks like at the moment. Personally I would go for side skirts and spats before a trial rear
  20. Total scumbag. What about using the address that you sent the cheque to for another option in sorting this , even if it wasn't his home adddress you would still think it possible to trace him. Is he still using Ebay, I can't find his details?
  21. If you have a well known make of wheel the bore diameter can often be found by doing a search on Google.
