    Wheel Change

    I don't like them. More importantly what do you think, if you're not sure then look for others?
  3. I'm not familiar with the parts required but if you do a search on Supraforums for 58261-14010 it brings up loads of enquires made to Elmhurst Toyota over in the US, Curt Aigner (the parts bloke) know his stuff (He owned a Supra himself, not sure if he still does) - quite a few of these threads are from people doing the 6 speed conversion. http://www.supraforums.com/forum/search.php?searchid=670351
  4. Nice dog, you can't help but smile when you see a picture of him.
  5. Very sad indeed, just one week after the Indy Car death.
  6. Do the obvious first, remove the lights and check the bulbs and connections between the bulbs/holder and holder/wiring etc.
  7. I'm sure Cesar Millan (the dog whisperer) would introduce your dog to others slowly, not an impossible task at all. I would definately do it, there'll be loads of information on the internet. Every time you take them for a walk you'll nearly always see different dogs which will make him nervous. It's far easier getting used to being sociable will a single companion. My brothers dog who I walk used to bark at every single dog she sees, showing her teeth aswell to some. But now and again I see this lady taking her dog out which she didn't get on at all well with. They soon got used to each other and they run around like crazy playing with each other, it's nice to see. This has made her much friendlier to other dogs and far better than she was a few years ago, she's 12 now. I don't have to put her on the lead anymore/
  8. Your're right, it would be perfect. The key words are "unmolested condition" . I think it should showcase how Toyota designed it to look and not the individual taste of an owner many years later.
  9. Gunmetal would be the better than purple or black.
  10. You should be ashamed, a 12 year old could answer that question.
  11. I did'nt think the coverage with Virgin was particularly good, that was 2 or 3 years ago and it may have improved. Looks like they're using the Orange network where the Virgin one won't give you a signal. Virgin coverage
  12. I would see if I could get one from a motor factor or good car accessory shop where they'll have diferent ones on the shelf to choose from, there're universal throttle cables on Ebay. Or a car salvage yard.

    New cross member

    Are we talking about the front steel cross member that the lower control arms attach to? Did you paint the new one before you fitted it? I removed the cross member last sunday, I've media blasted it . I'm painting this, the control arms, shocks and calipers with 2k epoxy primer followed by some 2k industrial enamel. The smaller parts I've already powder coated with a diy kit that I bought.
  14. Did you look on his website for contact details?

    They're obviously giving you different prices, you cannot dispute what it says on their website. It may not be a good idea for anyone to contact this Toyota dealer to tell them that their prices are too low compared to other dealers, unless you want them to possibly put them up and spoil it for anyone who does want to order brake discs and pads. Pay less if you order them online. If you want to pay more then phone up. I ordered a sump plug washer for £1.08 to show that their prices do include VAT, the first pic does show this. £1.08 + £1.20 delivery = £2.28
  16. They've said that his roll hoop broke.

    Brakes

    You've got it wrong, the individual prices for each item above do include VAT. The total price for everything including delivery is £319.44 , I went right through the checkout process to confirm this. If you agree will you edit your post as it might deter people from reading through the whole thread and read my post? £50.26 including vat for one front disc.

    No, they do include VAT. I was surprised too.
  19. Yes, a bad crash with many cars involved. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sn08nh7zoto

    I thought that cannot be right, it's a few years since I bought discs and pads and they weren't that cheap, but I was proved wrong. I did a quick search and found a website for Pentagon Toyota were you can order online. http://www.pentagontoyotaparts.co.uk The search facility via import/other cars isn't working but you can enter the part numbers.
  21. Here's an article comparing the Lexus filter (obviously made by Toyota) with a standard Supra filter. http://www.mkiv.com/techarticles/parts/toyota_filter/index.html
