I've got two replacement knock sensors from a '98 VVTi TT. They were replaced unnecessarily, so the two I have work fine. I think they are roughly £80 each but if you need them, or want them as spares, then make me a reasonable offer...
-
Yeah, I'm all for that!
-
Thanks Chris
-
Cheers for the input guys. At least that's given me an idea what to ask for... If I sell it!
-
Oh yeah, forgot too mention that! It is a manual.
-
I really don't know! I keep trying to decide on a figure based on what else is for sale, but of course everyone's got different mods, mileages etc... Plus there's not many VVTi's around and I'm not sure how much of a difference that makes. I guess I have a figure in mind, but I wanted to know other peoples opinions. It's all down to what someone will pay anyhow!

I know there's been loads of these sort of threads before, but I'm trying to estimate how much my Supra would be worth if I was to sell it... It's a 1998 VVTi twin turbo with 93K miles. Brief summary of mods is as follows: 18" BBS LMs Tein Flex coilovers HKS Silent Hipower exhaust Chris Wilson decat with 1.1 bar restrictor ring HKS FCD It has a superb sound system consisting of Alpine head unit, DLS amp and Diamond Audio speakers (originally cost £2500). Also Clifford Concept 600 alarm. Pic attached... What do you reckon?

Wow, that's nasty!! Like everyone's already said, glad you're ok...
-
I like the design of the Whifbitz front, it's just that the bottom part of it looks kinda fragile.
-
I also run Eagle F1's (on 18's) and use 36psi all round... Tried it with less but it didn't feel quite right. I don't have any problems with uneven tyre wear either.
-
I think the bronze colour of the RE30s would look good with the blue.
-
Here's a selection. I think all of them look good and would suit your car pretty well... From left to right: Volk RE30 Volk SF Challenge HRE 547R HRE C21 Fikse Profil 10
-
Stunning! That really does look the business - and with the power to back up the looks it will be an awesome Supra.
-
I would say that sounds reasonable... pretty cheap actually! Have you tried Turbo Dynamics at all?
-
Is the requirement for a model report on a rolling 10 year basis then? So '98 Supra's will be available again in 2008? Wasn't Jurgen looking into some loophole with this, so newer Supra's, R34's etc., would be available...
-
Ok, cheers James...
-
Thanks for the replies so far guys... I'll check out Turbotechnics - any other recommendations? As I mentioned, I don't want to (actually, make that can't ) really spend more money than absoulutely necessary - so "saving the money and going single" is definitely out of the question! Believe me, if that wasn't the case I'd have posted a different question ! I would have joined in this discussion last night but as well as a busted turbo I've got a busted PC!! Great...

Performance Wheel Supplies in Blackpool definitely deal with split rims, and the quality of their work is top notch. I haven't got round to sending my wheels off yet, but that's where they'll be going! Only trouble is it's about a ten day turnaround as they send the wheels to Germany! It may sound a bit excessive, but like I said they do a proper job - the lacquer isn't going to peel off after 6 months!! Here's the number if you want to give them a try: 01253 347984

I'm sure there's plenty of you out there who have had standard turbos rebuilt, or hybridised (if that's a real word!!)... Just wanted opinions on who you'd recommend to do the job. Obviously price is important, but it's more important that the job is done right... If I do go for hybrids, I can't go too crazy power wise as I don't want to have to spend extra on supporting mods (the car's just BPU at the mo)... Also, with a rebuild, how noticeable will the lag be with switching to steel blades?
-
Site looks good, could maybe do with some bigger pics though... You're right about the price, you definitely don't want to take less than £18k. It's a unique car with an original Top Secret kit!! Good luck with the sale...
-
I like those a lot... Mmm, got me thinking now!
-
That's gonna look stunning... Good choice!
-
Use a clay bar for removing the tar spots, bird crap etc... Then (if you use Zymol) HD-Cleanse and wax. I've not used Meguiars, but I believe that's good as well. Zymol has to be the easiest wax to apply and remove and it'll look stunning afterwards - it doesn't leave any dust either, unlike Autoglym! Like IDO said, do that 2, maybe three times a year and it'll be real easy to clean...
-
Yeah, I've spotted this one a couple of times as well. Saw it yesterday about 17:20 going out of Telford center...
-
Think that was me... I flashed as I drove past you...
