  1. If my memory serves well, Burna fabricated the last set.
  2. Had the pleasure of having a look around the LFA race car at a private viewing with Mr Toyoda at Goodwood earlier this year. It looked and drove stunningly well, not to mention the noise...
  3. It does indeed - removes the limiter too.
  4. How 'bout later? Honestly, whichever way you like. Paypal also available if you want to PM me some details.
  5. I'll have the exhaust please chaps. Will get in touch to arrange a fitting and the ritual burning of my old one...

    O/D OFF flashing

  7. Seats look nice - great choice
  8. Rather loud & raspy on full decat, and that's on a TT. It'll be much louder on your N/A. Be wary of the condition of the pipework before the backbox - I picked mine up second hand and it was completely refabricated in stainless steel.
  9. I've really warmed to the idea of having a Rex, but as any mapper would say about them, the margin for error can be too big a risk. Still, in a world of Porsches and BMWs, it's becoming quite a rare beauty.
  10. Great introduction to your car - the love is clear to see. More of that please. All the best and may Supra ownership live up to everything you hope it would be.
  11. You could bend my arm for a swap...
  12. Bloody pondlife. I had a break in some time back - I know how you feel. Problem is, you can punish them but they won't know any better
  13. I love these competitions - it brings out some great members' cars. Good work resurrecting the calendar Homer If I may, here is my personal favourite so far.
  14. Ever the craftsman Si - well done and looking forward to seeing the results.
  15. Pants. I'll be passing the area around then, but only on my way to my nephew's first birthday. Matt 'n' John, no doubt I'll see you very soon - gotta book my major service before the end of May.
  16. Welcome back dude - nice work getting back into what you love doing again. Matt, forgive my doof-ness but I'm not sure what A, B or C servicing entails. Would you mind listing the details good sir? I'm due a major service come April so I'll definitely be booking soon...
  17. Leaving Thursday morning dewd. Might even pop into Sepang for the GP You know what, regardless of these things, there is still coolant leaking from somewhere, and Dean has more than likely hit it on the head. Garage time, my friend! AFR is in Gatwick - shouldn't be too big a bill to have it flat-bedded to from Saarf Laaandon?
  18. Cliff, I'm not familiar with GE's - otherwise I would have you round for a cuppa and a look around. I can however offer an educated guess. That spray is indeed coolant that's dried up, I had the same substance appear when my rad pipe was leaking. Are you getting heat from the blowers at all? Reason I ask is that the thermostat that controls coolant flow into the nether regions of the heater system can sometimes fail with age. Does the temp drop as you put some load on the engine? The expansion tank's purpose is to 'pull' coolant into the engine as it cools after switching off, as a result keeping air out of the system and filled to the brim. If it is emptying after you park, then that would explain the gurgling. This would suggest that the rest of the system is on the dry side. Another simple and common problem associated with overheating can also be a buggered rad cap, which actually helps regulate the coolant pressure in the system. Do have a look under the rad cap and tell us what you see.
  19. Hey hey. Any chance of a full set of headlight nuts & bolts going spare (2X big 'uns + 4X small nuts)? Many thanks in advance! B
  20. Morning! It was great to see all your supras buzzing around such a technical track. Hope no one cooked their brakes Apologies for leaving unannounced though. I had a work emergency so had to leave at 12 and didn't get home till 9pm I tried to look for you guys down the other end of the pits, but had no luck. Steve, hope you got your passenger ride in the Atom. Lucky it wasn't with me because I spun it!
  21. Not mine, belongs to my boss, Bachi. The 'charger whine is absolutely addictive - and I've yet to learn the art of changing up fast enough! See you Sunday...
  22. Won't be there in the Supe guys - do come and say hello if you spot us in the M3 and the Atom.
  23. Thank you kindly. Reminds me - time for a service at AFR!
