Hi guys...spoke to this guy...it's just come on and he says it's amazing condition...just owned by an elderly gentleman! I did query why he would have put Greenstuff upgraded brakes on....and he said Toyota put them on for him!? It looks like the aerial is also stuck and weirdly the photos show the passenger seat had more wear and deformed than the drivers!? I also agree that it is a few hundred over priced...if it had hard top then maybe ok.....

Aerials are common problems, and cheap to fix.

Seats could have had their backs swapped to reduce wear on drivers seat.

Still looks good from the photos.

Just get it bought!   s:lol: :lol: s:lol:

Just cos a guy is older doesn't mean he drives like your granny.
Dubious about Toyota fitting green stuff tbh.
How would the dealer know unless he has a bill from Mr T?

Go have a look at it. It's certainly not a dog.
First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

Bit late reply. TTE exhaust is really good in my opinion. I wouldn't have it back to stock for anything now. And it looks so much better.

Matt's TTE brace is a must. Simple as. No further detail needed. Just do it.

I've got the TTE spoiler,  the one that sits near the rear window. I really love it now and think the car looks plain without it. I didn't like it at first though.

It's the brace still of value on a newer version, such as 06...as I know the later the car, the stiffer it is....and is it a case of just buying a brace and getting local garage to fit it...or do you recommend letting Matt do it?

I think most consider it still valuable, it will just be a bit less of a difference than it would on an older model.

Matt doesn't offer a fitting service anymore as he had to close his workshop, but it's easily fitted as it just bolts on.  I would have fitted mine myself had she not been in Matt's workshop anyway, so if you're happy to get a spanner out, I'd say DIY, otherwise, I suspect a garage wouldn't take long.

The only time you may have issues is if you already have a Cusco front brace fitted as I believe it uses some of the same holes.

Does require a bit of convincing. I used the trolley jack to push it into place. Bolted it in on one side and pushed it in with the jack on the other side, then bolted it.
Dead easy. Think it took me 20 mins in total
