  1. I think there were two tests done on Top Gear. Tiff Needell drives the car on one of them , this is the one knowone can find.
  2. Not sure about the connection , it's hard to see from the pic. Those plugs are very very black!
  3. It's horrible to think they've all got to go sometime!
  4. Thankyou! Another person with a little sense!
  5. Another crazy person! (I've just had a drink) My opinion stands though.
  6. Are you crazy! It looks very nice, subtle. The standard bumper is far better than most of these aftermarket ones I've seen, this splitter complements it nicely.
  7. One of us should approach the BBC on behalf of the owners club and ask them - maybe one of the moderators!
  8. The point was made in the rest of the post that I made. Cars are capable of handling well with 19" wheels. Just because the Supra had 17" wheels it doesn't mean that 19" wheels cannot be used with perfectly good handling. When the Supra was designed most cars in the early 90's had much smaller wheels than what are used nowadays. If they had just released the Supra now with larger wheels, would they change that much in the suspension design?
  9. One thing's certain if they build the MKV it won't have 17" wheels, they'll be a minimum of 19". I know it'll have the suspension to match, but I cannot see why 19" wheels wouldn't work on most of our cars now as quite a few aren't even running the stock setup.
  10. The turbos you've got might be perfectly okay!
  11. I'm sure most of us don't push the car anywhere near what's possible around the corners. I don't do this because it's nots really safe to do this on public roads . So 17" for track use. 18" is the compromise between looks and handling. 19" because they look the best and I'm sure they're fine for the way most of us drive these cars - I'll hopefully confirm this when mine arrive.
  12. Blue Marlin 1 Human 0 Serves you right!
  13. You could get them from your local dealer. Or do a search for Steve Manley (on here), he is a Toyota dealer who will send them to you. I got the EPC from Ebay, you can also download it from various places.
  14. It's the Toyota EPC, quite a few of us on here have it. If it's the part highlighted in red then the part no is: 53878-50010
  15. J spec clutch for the 6 speed gearbox TT is the same as the UK car.
  16. Is this it, looks like they come in packs of 4. It's listed as a spacer.

    what colour

    My car is red, I've got the calipers red aswell. It doesn't look quite right with bright red calipers calipers with the red car, especially as they're not the same shade. I'm going to change mine, maybe a light graphite or gunmetal colour.
  18. Nice looking Supra. Hard to beat the standard car with aftermarket wheels!
  19. Bloody hell, that's terrible.
  20. Click on special orders http://www.impactshowplates.co.uk
  21. The answer is totally dependent on their offset and style, no definite answer. Best to find someone who has them on a Supra already.
  22. Just paint on top, but rub down a little so the new paint has a key. Maybe some primer near the colour of the top coat if you're going for something totally different.
  23. UK brakes - the front ones. J spec - the front ones http://www.blackdevilcar.co.uk/images/front.jpg
