Fifty Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 Isnt the chasis no stamped into the firewall as well? Rich:d Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobSheffield Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 Prob a front end. I wouldnt worry about it, if the car is ok now it doesnt matter! But if it is a front end that required the VIN plate removing, why not replace it I would get an independant engineer to check it for peace of mind, for structural integrity and straightness The last thing you want with any car is for it to have a wobbly chassis, especially with one as powerful as a Supra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dangerous brain Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 there is a stamp on the bulkhead like the guys said before. Open the bonnet and somewhere near the wiper motors is a metal upright section that should have a big assed number cut into it. If its a robbed motor the one its now pretending to be wont fail a HPI chap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kranz Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 If its the same as the one on the V5 and you had it HPI'd then you'll be fine. Talk to Toyota about getting a new one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
