jot_ie Posted June 24, 2004 Share Posted June 24, 2004 Hi all from Dublin, Ireland I have been skulking around your fantastic group for a while now. Its fantastic to find a group like this with genuine people. Anyway, 'bout time I said hello. Got my supra last sept, was looking for about 18 mths previous to that. its a 98 j-spec tt, with vvti 6spd manual in quicksilver. with some hks mods, have a list somewhere......... I think I'll keep it forever.............. Anyway, i hope to be able to contribute from time to time, but I think some of you guys are out of my league. I am still learning about my car.

Supragal Posted June 24, 2004 Share Posted June 24, 2004 Hey another member from across the way Not many supes over there huh? Welcome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jot_ie Posted June 24, 2004 Author Share Posted June 24, 2004 Many thanks to all for your words of welcome. There are not too many supes her, thats a fact, but I think that makes them even a little more exotic. Parts and servicing a real pain in the ass. Toyota Ireland gust dont wanna know, not like they would have a clue anyway. I brought it to a local toyota main dealer for its first service. They just changed the oil and oil filter and charged me €250, thats about £130-£150 or so. They said they cleaned and gapped the sparks. I know for a fact that they didnt touch them, as I replaced them myself with HKS iridiums. Th old ones hadnt been touched. Anyway, enough griping. Again many thanks to all.

Need4Speed Posted June 26, 2004 Share Posted June 26, 2004 Welcome to the club John. I see you've already got decent brakes! A word of advice: never trust a garage that "gaps and cleans" plugs on a car like a Supra. The only thing to do is replace them, and the HKS ones may be pricey but they are good.

jot_ie Posted June 26, 2004 Author Share Posted June 26, 2004 Thanks for the welcome John, and everybody. Brakes are pretty good for sure. I think they are stock though. Couldnt be sure, but I think around 97 or 98 all jap spec supra turbos got the big european brakes as standard. As for the sparks. I had the hks ones on order and deliberately asked the garage ( a toyota main dealer) not to touch the ones in the car when servicing it. Their suggestion to clean and gap them. Wouldn't inspire confidence, would it. Then again. Here in ireland at least, I find that most of the motor industry (sales and servicing) are not the most honest. Particularly the main dealers.
