swiftstu Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Hi all, I have seen a few brand new oem supe parts for sale on eBay and the like, and trying to work out if any parts are still manufactured. I thought I saw a thread on here but can’t find anything. I sense I will need a good few suspension parts soon, as well as other bits. Just trying to work out what I can get; New, as new, and what will have to be used. Anyone able to help? ta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPG Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Hey, most of the suspension components are still available to order, either from Toyota direct or if you want a more competitive price then both TCB parts or Keron should be able to sort you out with what you need. the later two options being more competitive than Toyota’s pricing. There is a heritage parts programme but as far as I can tell it’s not really moved much since the initial announcement. I’m sure they were proposing to reproduce headlights and door handles if I remember correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mugello Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 https://www.amayama.com/en/catalogs/toyota/supra Is a good place to look for part numbers, and sometimes I have found they are better value on parts even with the shipping and import duty!

Thanks I’ll, try those- I think I’ve got a shopping list forming I think my car may end up being with Keron in The new year for a gearbox swap, so that’s a good shout.

rider Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 (edited) Be very careful ordering from Amayama. They will part ship and cancel items not in stock. I filled out my very last ever order with them to reduce the freight cost impact and all the fluff arrived whilst the part I placed the order for never did, that got refunded. Amayama also have a completely useless parts guarantee. If you buy a part and have a problem then you need a letter from a Toyota mechanic at a Toyota dealership to back up a warranty claim. You then need to arrange the return shipping. Any self fitted or independent garage fitted part is specifically excluded from their guarantee. I contacted Amayama once about a failed part and got told without a supporting letter from Toyota to go away. There are many parts available in the USA from a selection of resellers, Amazon.com and dealerships at a lower price than you can buy the same part in the UK. You do have the added complication of import taxes but duty is usually 4% so no big deal when parts are often 40% cheaper. I've had some parts shipped over from the USA for a total of £6 freight and duty. Lots of UK suppliers charge £10 for delivery. So, I'd look to the USA before UAE for new parts. I've used many USA sources and all have been excellent with any damaged items refunded without any questions raised. I've even received things I've not ordered or cancelled before shipping and been told to keep those at no cost as they cannot be bothered arranging a return from the UK. First stop though should always be your local Toyota dealership who will always give a 10% discount if you ask for it. I use my local dealer for parts that can get damaged, like brake lines. So you can them view before you buy when you pick them up. Also in the first line is your forum favourites of TCB Parts and the local stripper Keron. So shop around for the best deals, but the UAE is well off my list of places to go.

rider Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 US suppliers I have stuck to are McGeorge a Toyota dealership in Georgia. RockAuto (I have a thread that I up constantly discount codes for these somewhere on forum) and amazon.com where seller go fulfilled by Amazon to get their cheap transatlantic freight rates. McGeorge is my least favoured because they ship by USPS so you have to pay to clear customs which eats up a few days and also have a hefty RM handling charge on top so I tend to only go to them for genuine Toyota bigger ticket items. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delboy52 Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 I've used Megazip before and they have been pretty good with replying to questions and adjusting orders. They have a parts number search with helps with chasing bits down. https://www.megazip.net/zapchasti-dlya-avtomobilej/toyota/supra-38377/jza80-55401 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
