Apperantly when the car came and the title with it I was able to find previous owner name and even his address. Problem is that I can not find him on social networks. Would it be possible to reach him through one of you guys who lives in NJ area? ?

Looks like your stut tower was pushed back thats why the metal tore, better have a frame guy measure it square or make it square before any metal work.

So just put front suspension back together the other day. Already put H&R spring (3 more to go) . Found out that gearbox oil cooling line valve is broken (already ordered at the dealer).

Does anyone know how much oil supose to be in 2021 supras gearbox? I know it says filled with life time oil, but gearbox is low on oil and would like to add a bit. (my dealer do not know).

Just a short update on the car. Picked it up few days ago from a body shop. Body has been repaired and painted. Now it runs and drives fine. Few little thing needs to be taken care of and I will be able to register this car on my name.
Still waiting for rear fog light and that will be it. Rear lights also been changed to an euro ones. Sadly it's almost winter time which means I will be able to drive it in the spring as I don't want to drive it during winter.
I do have Subaru sti for the winter so no big deal there ?
(Would love to buy gr yaris at some point).

Looking good. If you don’t mind how much was the total investment to save this one from being parted out?

To be honest it cost me too much. I think I would probably could bought clean title A91 instead of this one ? The damage was a bit bigger than from the first look. Plus the front bonnet did not come with the car, so in total car cost me around 55k euros.
But if I would bought clean title A91, the import taxes probably would be higher as well, plus transportation cost might be bigger. I also bought some parts from the dealer which cost a fortune. Only later on I found suplyer who could offer parts for much lower prices.
So I don't have a clear answer ?
I am happy I could have this US spec higher HP supra down here in EU despite the higher repair cost than I expected. ?

I assume they don’t sell it in your area and that makes it a good buy then. Most new cars that are totaled out are totaled for good reason. If the insurance company thought it would be cheaper to repair it to save a few thousand they probably would depending on your carrier.

Yeah I guess so. I probably could fix it cheaper though. But since I was fixing it for myself I changed bunch of parts with new ones. Atleast the price did not reached 60k mark. Which is brand new supra price range. ?

Nope. Well atleast not 2021 and up. All 2019-2020 supras had the same around 340hp engine. 2021 year and up usdm got upgraded 384hp engines. Sadly Europe did not get this engine. It remain the same 340hp, even with the manuals over here... ?

At least it wasn’t as bad as this Tuber. He paid $60K total and that was minus the 500 hours of labor he put into himself.

Hi. Need a little help guys. Can someone make a clear picture of their 2021 supra emission sticker? Acording to a dealer it should be somewhere inside the trunk (I wasn't able to find it though). Part catalogue shows that the sticker is in the trunk but might be under the bonnet as well (maybe it depends if it's a 4 or 6 cylinder supra). I found 4 part numbers for the sticker, but I can't be sure which one it is. This code: 11298WAA06 has designation for supras with B58H engines. Does the H at the end stands for 6 port engine?
