Colin F Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 Hi everyone, after joining today and reading some of your posts I find myself in a similar situation to eyefi. I to in 2014 parked up my 1993 UKspec TT auto in a lock up and forgot about it to go flying. The car has been sat in there not seeing the light of day until last week when i popped in to see if it was still there. To my surprise I found under the dust my old supra still exactly as I remembered it. Now the challenge of getting it back on the road again (as I read today) before petrol runs out. I have owned the car since 2000 so for 22 years and remember being a member back then using the wealth of information found in this club extremely necessary for running such a vehicle, again reading posts today have helped in the start to the cars return. Hopefully I will keep you all posted on my progress and I’m able to put your valuable knowledge to good use. Many thanks Colin. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dnk Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 (edited) Good luck with it and get some photos up asap Think i'd get it running then book it straight in for a mot, if you have a good place like i have they let me have a proper look underneath What was the mileage on it when you parked it up ?

Scooter Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 Well you'll be pleased to know your heated seats button is now worth £500! get a new battery on the shopping list pronto! It's nice to hear of people mothing balling, perhaps not surprising as back when you laid it up they weren't worth much at all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin F Posted June 18, 2022 Author Share Posted June 18, 2022 I removed the battery and changed the oil when I parked it up it has done 110K and up until then had a full TSH I plan to change the timing belt and carry out the advice i have read on other posts to get it running. once again thanks for the support. Is there any recommend sites for parts? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there any recommend sites for parts? Prices are all over the place these days with sometimes huge differences depending how quickly they react to the market! A few to name are: Toyota (try your local garage) Amayama TCB Parts Our classifieds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
