Hi folks, Got some nasty chips near the front wheel section (photos attached) - if you zoom you can see a couple of them went down to bare metal :"( only have 1800 miles on it... I purchased a kit and a primer as well from a company called "PaintNuts" uk, £14 for the pen and £8 for the primer...

Hi, DYI idiot here. Can anyone recommend a good trolley jack please, not very expensive/super heavy duty, as it's for very occasional use (max once a month), but not cheap crap either - I will use it very rarely, mostly to have a check and clean the chassis/wheel arches twice a year. I also...

Hi all, Not sure if anyone here has done this but looking to get info on the best way to clean the radiator coils from all the dead bugs splattered. Not too many videos about this on youtube. General consensus seems to be avoid pressure washing to not bend and damage fins, and use some sort of...

Hi, I found out something today, might be futile/irrelevant for most, but I read a few people talking about this so thought I'd share - kind of a long story so if you don't like reading maybe skip this one. Disclaimer: this applies to Manual Supras, I can't confirm if it will work with Autos...

Does anyone know why the UK (and I assume EU too) 335bhp B58 doesn't get the strut bar? I can see the drilled holes are there, it just seems odd... I'd like to add them onto my '23 Manual, does anyone know Nm torque spec for nuts and whether this will affect the car handling at all? (Fully stock)

Hi, Can anyone let me know what does the little grey valve/tap/screw top do? It's near the coolant area on a shiny silver pipe about half inch. I kind of "accidentally" (idiotically) moved it slightly while doing an engine bay wipe down just going through motions, now my anxiety is like "did I...

Hi, Was unplugging my ctek today and thought I'd just run my inspection lamp around the engine bay, seems like a found a very small "leak" near the coolant tank area? I tried to smell it and oddly it didn't smell like oil yet it was yellowish and oil like. I couldn't see a 'drop' from the hose...

Hi, My Supra is garage kept and frequently has periods of 2-3 weeks when it's not driven. Battery wise I have a CTEK so no issues however should I worry about tyre flat spots? What I try to do is start it and move it a few inches in the garage so it's sitting on a new tyre spot maybe once a...

Hi, After watching many reviews I decided to buy the Meguiars Hybrid Ceramic Wax due to its versatility and ease of use to keep the paint protected. Car's in the garage for 2-3 weeks as it's basically non stop rain/snow period and I only drive it in the dry to keep it pristine so haven't got...

Hi, Can you confirm what the official manufacturer's torque spec is for the Supra wheels please? (All stock, no spacers) Seem to have 140NM (101 lb ft.) on the manual, but not 100% sure if that's for a spare wheel scenario or regular full size. Thanks

Curious if anyone can explain please what is the electric kind of sound the car makes when you unlock it after it's been sitting for a while? Sounds like some sort of small pump/servo. I also noticed sometimes it does a slightly different louder/longer version and wonder what is the difference...

Is anyone planning to go to the AdamC Fest car meet 1st May in Northampton area? I missed the first one last year, but got tickets for this year :) Hoping 100% to bring the Supra, unless weather is very bad, then I'll have to go in the mrs fiat (that would suck...) I hope to see more Supras...

Hi, I am considering purchasing a space saver wheel kit for peace of mind - the car gets driven very little so I'm not fussed about carrying the extra weight or losing room as I carry nothing in the boot anyway. I have a "mechanical" query I suppose, as I'm not very mechanically knowledgeable...

Hi all, I booked my 3.0 Manual for it's break in oil change at RRG Macclesfield. Read good reviews on google and mrs' facebook Supra group so hopefully worth the hassle going all that way. Looking to get more experiences/feedback from other GR supra owners who may have used this specific...

Hi fellow Supra people. I'm looking to get information from anyone else hopefully in my situation. The Supra is the first car I keep in a garage. I did a lot of research and see a lot of contrasting opinions in regards to keeping humidity down, so just looking to hear people's experience, not...

Hi, I'm really annoyed. I attached a picture of the instructions from the owners manual and trying to replicate it but it doesn't work and the alarm goes off when I lock it! Can anyone explain/share how they did this? I am literally locking the car and then a few seconds afterwards, I'm...

Hi, Anyone else got a '23 manual? I'd love to hear your thoughts please - I found that putting reverse gear feels extremely odd and needs a LOT of force applied to it, nothing like any other car I drove before. Does anyone have any advice i.e. does it need to be done a different way / pulled...

Hi, Does anyone know how to disable keyless entry by any chance? (Without affecting keyless start). Ideally I'd like to have set up like a "normal old" car where I lock and unlock using the buttons on the key fob. Thanks.

Hi all, *Please don't get your knickers in a twist if someone has asked before... (I did try the forum search function but didn't manage to find anything). Any recommendations please for a compact 'premium' fire extinguisher to keep in the Supra and any experiences of brackets/good positions...
