Having the same problem myself, Toyota quoted £175+vat for a starter motor and 2 hours labour for fitting plus vat on that coming to just short of £400 notes. Wondered if any of you guy's could tell me how easy it is to get to and remove the starter motor cause it really grinds to think of having to pay that much money for what should be a simple job, even for someone with my limited mechanical skills.
I've done a few starter motors over the years (and if you've ever had the displeasure of changing one on a Rover 3500 V8 SD1 then everything else should be a walk in the park). But the Supra is a whole different and complex beast so i'd like to know what i'm letting myself in for before i start.

Cheers for the help guys
