Silver mk1a on the bay, for £412 !!

Only spotted it 5 minutes ago, so didnt even have time to bid, but from the pics it looks good..

Be interested to see how it turns out...

Mine was £300 this time last year.. for some reason its literally doubled this year.. no changes at my end, the quote was for it garaged, limited miles, 3rd car, and separate full no claims on it... was thro A-Plan.. The chap who bought it off me had to pay similiar too ~£600 In any case, ( OP ), yo...

Thanks, I didn't know you could still import them. I've still got to ring the insurance company up and talk to them about using an import as an everyday car.....that could be funny! Try the classic insurance companies, an imort supercharged AW11 doesnt cost that much than an N/a for me. Have you ha...

with an mot and tax... I'd say somewhere between £500 and £1000, depending on condition.

given that this

went for just under £1300, and was pretty much mint..

( and yes, I know it was Cat C, but hardly damaged...)

really depends on those rear arches...

cheers for that, I think I'll have another go...

I got the cable off before no problems, and attaching a drill to the cable got the speedo end working, so I'm pretty sure the problem is in the right angled drive bit..

No problems with mot and no speedo over here, not for last 3 mots..

The SC speedo drive at the gearbox end is different to the NA... I had this problem about 5 years ago and Mr Woods gave me some good advice on where to look and I also discovered some other things along the way. The most common problem with the SC speedo cable is the right-angle drive at the end of...

I know the 'standard' car should have Standard tyres: 185/60/14 but mine has some aftermarket Enkei ( I think they are from an mx5... well they have mazda centre caps) wheels, with tyres 195/50/R15 So, I know they are 1 inch bigger, and also 10 mm wider ? I also appear to have some kind of spacers o...

Nimbus, I have literally just walked in from doing mine. I replaced the manifold, nuts, bolts, washers and gasket. I dont know if you'll need all the bits that I used, unless you want to get the manifold off. Its a pain in the ar$e though. Hard to get to, and you have to remove the distributor. If ...

Toyota don't use this horrible paste, just good clean joints, new studs/nuts/gaskets and torqued up properly, you should never need to use gungum or whatever it is on any exhaust system, they are after all designed to work without it no? Is there a list of part numbers for the gaskets and studs etc...

having owned 2 NAs and now an SC for the past 18 months..

I'd say the SC feels more 'planted', difficult to describe, but it just feels more stable.

The engine is way better tho.. its just torque all the way

fuel guage started sticking hey

nice one, wondered if it was someone on here who got it. I saw it on ebay too, but as the chap wouldnt take any more pics of the arches, and I couldnt get to see it, I had to pass. ( and didnt bid... :) ) genuine bargain there ! please ! get it back on the road :) did you see the silver one too ? lo...

cheers guys,

The airbox is standard, or at least the one I've retrofitted is
Don;t reallty want a k&n as I'm trying to get away from the noisey stuff..

Yes, I could get one from toyota, but they are some 20+ miles from me, so not that convienent..

time to look up my local partco I guess

been slowly putting my SC back to standard, and one of the jobs was to replace the somewhat noise hks sponge filter with a standard one. Got all the bits fitted, so went into Halfrauds today to pick up a new air filter element, and low an behold, they no longer seem to stock them ! :( where are peop...

I used to tow my glider trailer with my first mk1, back in the 90s.. It was an excellent tow car, very stable.. really must scan in those photos of it in action, like I promised.. I had a 'toyota' fitted towbar, and the weight of the glider + trailer must have been at least 600kg. I think you could ...

you are sure its the speedo cable and not the little cog that drives it from the gearbox ?

just before you order a new cable.. as the difference in price is 10x... cog is a few quid, cable will be much more..

gorgeous, definately the best colour for mk1s....

How did you source it ? I bet there arent more than a handful of gunmetal mk1s in the country ?

hehe, likewise, lived in Bosworth Street for 4 years when I was a student at the poly 10 years ago.... (erm well maybe 15 years ago now.. god thats depressing... )

doesnt look like the area has changed much apart from the speed bumps...

nice car btw
