Morning folks, Just working my way round fitting a second hand OE bumper to the car. I've noticed that the lower section of the 'mouth' is quite deformed (wavy/saggy) I know these bumpers are really flexible as I've had a similar experience with the MR2 but has anyone else had this issue ? Also, the piece looks too long - I assume there was differences between the S1 and s2 bumpers (as there were two options for this place but only one was available) Was thinking of cutting some 2-3 aluminium plate and putting it underneath to bolster it a bit. Any thoughts?

I've no idea, have a look on partsouq with your vin see if its on there ? Didn't know if it was this bit ... SEAL, ROOF SIDE INNER LOWER COVER 6784214030 or 6784114080

¿Se ha quitado alguna vez la aguja del tacómetro? Si es así, es posible que se haya reinstalado incorrectamente.

Hi all, would someone be able to measure as to where the side markets sit on a S2 front bumper please ? I need to cut the necessary holes on mine. Don't need anyone to remove the side marker, just relative to the fitted marker and the bumper is fine. TIA.

Stock cooler is back on for now, although I am missing the pipe from the inlet to the pipe which pops up by the battery (hose 5 as it is affectionately known). So have had to knock something up to tide me over. Typically that is discontinued too Glad I removed the front mount, it was pushing quite badly on the power steering cooler, the pipes were a bit too long for my liking and the general mounting/install of the thing wasn't really where I'd like it to be. So in the absence of a better solution it can be removed for now. Twin side mounted coolers would be a cool setup, assuming thats even viable. But all of this is for another day me thinks ...

Hey @AC93I believe he's got the ones he's had made which is fine, but I was hoping to avoid paying £250 for one if I could !

Only reason I'm.looki g at it is i.am fitting.an.OE bumper and it's in the way in it's current guise ...

I'll be honest it came with the car. It's only running BPU power now so I imagine it's not required. However, future goals would be around 500-600 BHP but that's very low down the list. If an SMIC can handle that then happy days.

Open to options, I was hoping to do a spot of future proofing and since there was a front mount already there I figured I'd use it if I could. Does Chris still make them?

Hi folks, on removing my front bumper I've found I don't actually have a front crash bar (I assume it was binned when the aftermarket bumper went on). My understanding is these are discontinued and we have a couple of aftermarket/replica options but these are pretty expensive from what I can see. As such I was going to look at making one, I just need to confirm some measurements. Does anyone have access to one who wouldn't mind taking me some measurements? Or even better, if there is an OE one someone wants to get rid of let me know ! TIA

Hi folks, As the title suggests - are there any FMICs that clear the OEM front bumper opening AND don't require modification of the undertray ? I already have an FMIC on the car but am trying to size up an OEM bumper to go over it, at the moment from what I can see I will need to chop the bottom of the bumper opening (as this pushes very slightly on the FMIC) and the undertray - it sits quite a bit lower than it. TIA!

Sorry I really should have included it, if you've not had one in bits before it's hard to visualise ! https://www.prospecimports.com/products/supra-front-lip-mounting-plate-set-oem-style?variant=28617846521908

Hi folks, does anyone know if we can buy aftermarket support bars for the OEM splitter. The bits than sandwich the bottom of the bumper to the top of the splitter. I know a place in Australia does them but wondered if anyone made anything similar here.

Hey @riderdoesn't seem to make a difference, it's still a little blury. Any ideas?

Cheers @riderI'll give that a go and see what happens. Any ideas why it might be doing that? Anything that can come loose ?

Hi folks, My rear view mirror vibrates quite a lot under normal driving, is this a normal Supra 'thing' ? If so ... are there any fixes for it ? Cheers in advance

Well, I'm non the wiser, each panel appears to do something different. I think the doors and the boot lid are untouched and they don't appear to bleed any colour. Popped to my local paint shop and chatted with them, the say the 3L2 super red only has one variant, was only for the Supra and is a base/clear system. So maybe I have just uncovered the many, many paint jobs this car appears to have had I've got a paint depth gauge somewhere. Be interested to see how deep it is in parts. And what colour actual 3L2 comes out as vs whatever the skirts are painted as! Thanks again all

So from what I've been reading (and from what my polishing cloth suggests!) the flat colours were a mix of clear/base and single stage. Metallics were clear/base. Certainly the panels which have not been painted on this car appear to be single stage, when polishing my car cloth quickly turns red. Also the paint polishes very easily by hand. Not something a reasonably modern clear/base system would do in my experience. Colour codes also suggest this - Super Red comes in two flavours, one appears to be used with a clear/base system - the other on its own. The plot thickens

Hi folks Does anyone know what type of paint the factory paint is? Curious to know whether it would have been a base/clear system or a celluose type finish where its a gloss colour. Car is '96 and red if that makes a difference.

Hi folks, Anyone care to share a quick pick of their windscreen cowl where the cowl meets the wing, I have a tiny 'cowl side seal' which foolishly I took no pics of before I removed it and can't be sure I've put it back in the right way. For reference this is how I currently have it ...

Have you done as @Scootersuggests and stuck a multimeter on it to measure how many volts the cars pulling when not running vs when it is ? That should give you a good indication as to whether the alternator is doing anything now you've swapped the battery. You should see around 14v when its running. Let us know what numbers you get?

@Delboy52 I'll bacs you the money if thats ok ? Just DM me your details - send em when you're back off holiday save you rushing about. Thanks again !

Hey @Delboy52if you do find a set could you DM me and we can sort out a price? And thanks for the link!

Hi folks I expect I know the answer to this but can anyone tell me where to buy the rear bumper retaining brackets ? They appear to be discontinued so didn't know if someone had a secret stash or was reproducing certain parts. For reference, its the LH/RH bits outlined in the pic below. (5258714030,5258814030)
