Frank Bullitt Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Comments like that are unnecessary, we don’t all have forensic knowledge of these cars especially if we haven’t owned a manual. GLWS - looks an amazing example. Polite friendly comments are unnecessary?! You imbecile. If that hurt your fragile nature I suggest you go find your backbone and grow a pair!

rider Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Is that the original paint finish under the bonnet, just wondered as mine is matt finish non lacquered under there? This would be a good site to advertise for an International buyer. I'd recon US$45k would see it on its way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SupraTRD_MK4 Posted July 24, 2018 Author Share Posted July 24, 2018 Someones put aftermarket brake rotors on it. Not even sure if they're Toyota, as I have TRD brakes and they are grooved not drilled. Sadly we don't have alot Supras around so dealership will either tell you, "meh we cant help" or you have to pay alot for std brake disc which take 1 to 2 months from overseas. As far as aftermarket goes for supras, you cant even find radiators for auto cars or manual that easily or off the shelf exhaust systems. Only recently has one place started catering for us. I believe the disc are from a shop here that sells EBC pads and some racing disc for the track cars here in my area however I could be wrong.

Scooter Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 I think the imports are all matt in the bay but not uk's/euro's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob W Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 (edited) Thats a good point arnt all of them Matt finish? Yep, all 3 of our supra’s have matt finished bays and one of them is a UK car. Actually just looking, I think it may be the case. Our UK spec engine bay has got a shine to it!

The Raven Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Id be tempted to suggest, that its had the engine out and the a respray then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraTRD_MK4 Posted July 24, 2018 Author Share Posted July 24, 2018 Interesting. Well unless a few people say the same then only would it be more certain? I have no clue. My guess is, the bay was just detailed with car wax shampoo as there is a hose lying beside it and water drops can be seen on the bonnet in the one photo. Perhaps that be the reason for the shine but I don't know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 What paint are you referring to? all of it? Mines looks glossy around the front frame but matt around the suspension tops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah no worries, doesnt really matter what they are as they're just consumable brake disks. Just wondered why they'd be changed on a car with low miles. I guess for looks!

Guest Rsb Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 (edited) Polite friendly comments are unnecessary?! You imbecile. If that hurt your fragile nature I suggest you go find your backbone and grow a pair! Wow - I think that has made my point perfectly. You could learn from Ian or Rob who have polite friendly comments down to a tee. Just discovered what the ‘Ignore’ link is for :-). Maybe look up the origins of ‘imbecile’ too. I lost ‘my pair’ when I bought an auto and enjoy walking on all 4s. As I said OP - great car and hope it finds a good home.

Marcus GTE Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 My uk bay is Matt too I’m sure. Any way to find out what the exact exhaust situation is? As in is it origional stock in good condition or not? Might find when exporting to certain countries, the car requires to be unmodified.

Inner wings look gloss........ I personally think it's stock we just haven't seen one like this for ages? Uk guys grab the t cut and see what you can buff up in the bay.

evinX Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Looks like its been sprayed and played with imo. The gloss bay and 20+year old bolts in there dont match the ageing process. The ducts have non oem fittings at the rear. And the resr glass seal looks non oem. Id put a good bet on that its been painted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcus GTE Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Can anyone else conform if their bolts that are holding the wings on are body coloured? Mine is silver so is too hard to tell if they are or aren’t. My instinct says that they aren’t body coloured and that this has been resprayed.

They use the same coloured epoxy coating as used in the bay. So always dull. Never glossy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blythmrk Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 The attached pics are of my early 93 UK spec red tt6 engine, the turret tops are shiny but that's with lots of cleaning not overly buffed I would have said painted with base coat and not lacquered. Mine is not bad for a UK car:D I have the oem radio and cd control and multi disc changer if I ever want to reinstate it. The one in SA looks good but I would be viewing in person before any money changed hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
