  1. Hi, My old Supra had the rear hatch all smoothed, no badges, no wiper and no washer jet. Most of the the time rain wasn't a problem. If the car was stationary and there was a lot of rain droplets, I used a squeegee/ice scraper to brush off the droplets. The rear glass was limo black so that didn't help!
  2. I would stay away from Toyo TR-1s. My Supra was my daily driver, about 15,000 miles a year. I've gone through full sets of T1R's and GSD3's. The T1-Rs are similar in the dry as Goodyear F1 Eagle GSD3 but worst in the wet.
  3. If you haven't done so, advertise it on Pistonheads - Big demand in the Scandinavian countries

  5. I wish I could have taken mines to show you the remnants of Knight-Racers crappy work but I'm afraid I sold my car a few weeks ago and it's in Denmark now. Avoid them, the grief is not worth it.
  6. Most common screen tint colour on imports that I've seen is green
  7. If the seller is a tosser, why buy it?! Chances are he will be dishonest and pull a fast one if he can. Go through a reputable company or contact an importer like Juergen. I've used RAC inspection on a Supra before and found that they were very good! They spotted a leaking Heater Matrix (I wouldn't have found that) and a brake fluid leak which I did suspect. Also some underbody damage...that's why the seller was reluctant for an inspection
  8. Hotpoints are the worst (Source: Dixons group Coverplan manager!) Try and stick to German brand like Bosch. Having two units is inefficent so clothes take longer to wash/dry and more fuel bill!
  9. Absolutely normal - It's well documented. I had my car for 3 years/45,000 miles. That noise was there when I bought my car and did not ever get worst and nothing dropped off!
  10. Take legal action right now. If he has got a proper business then his insurance should cover it anyway.
  11. This one Rob: http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=72982 Will swap for decent branded car CD player with face-off. Cheers, Ro
  12. bump! Any Cheaper?!
  13. Hi Wayne, Cheers! I got the asking price. I've told the new owner about our club - Hopefully he joins soon. Ro
  14. Yes it's a J-spec, Ceramic turbos. I have no idea if they are originals. If they are replacements then it must have been done in Japan. When I put a blingy heat shield on, the turbos and pipework were a rusty brown! Don't know if that indicates they are very old or if thats the normal colour! Cheers Greg. It's a real shame mate. Will you go for one again - You'll know what kinda things to watch out for? Yes - Oil change is very important and use good quality oil - There's more info in the tech section also on sparkplugs. Iridiums are very pricey. May be try the copper NGK equivalent next time and see how you get on. With my Denso Iridiums, the car became less responsive after about 10-11K miles. I think Iridiums are supposed to last much more longer but that's probably for a non modded N/A car. Also there has been cases where the Iridium spark plugs break up! If you start with a good car and keep it maintained then there's no reason why it shouldn't serve you well
