  1. As I was shopping around in Heckler's thread about designing an LED warning system for dash conversions, ( ), it got me thinking about my strange fuel warning light. It tends to come one at different levels of emptiness. Once, it came on when the guage was reading at 1/4 full At what level does everyone's warning light come on? Thanks in advance! B
  2. All of it... Not fussed about the door lock or the window controls. This is what I mean about the existing stuff to work around. Away dates noted! Red or blue conversion... what d'ya reckon m8? http://www.geocities.com/[email protected]/supra_01.jpg
  3. Hey Heks. I'm oh-so interested... but I've got gold detail already on the tachs 'n' dash. I'll have to drive up to you to do it! Howzat? Not anytime this month though, probably the end of October if things work out.
  4. GEeeez, that is one bigass turbo... bargain! I'm buying it.

  6. Lol... a m8 and I were on the road one day, and we saw a granny bustin' out in a purple-flippy micra too... we thought she might be buggin' out to some tunes too, but to our disappointment, she wasn't. I think I know what colour your car is now... sorry to see it on a micra bud! Hmm... detroy all micras: sneak a diesel only sign on the petrol cap whenever you see one?
  7. Hey m8... hope all's well with the family. If Francis is red, then it wasn't him... it was black, TRD wing. Saw the picture, t'was looking very nice indeed.
  8. Work mate sitting next to me right now said he spotted you in Sevenoaks last night... looking stunning so he says - so impressed that he's got a piccy of you on his phone. Well done! B
  9. Aww dude poor Taz... she'll be fine I'm sure. How are your brakes btw... the smoke we all saw was rather impressive
  10. I've got yellow billies too, they're great so far. I heard that they're progressive dampers, which get harder the more active you get. Does this mean that they're soft when cruising? I don't have the evidence to back this, so can someone enlighten us on this setup?

    Good tip ifran, I used blackcircles.com after a friend at work recommended them to me. They deliver to a garage of your choice and all costs are inclusive, a good saving over ordering direct. Dave: if you can wait a week, try http://www.mytyres.co.uk - I couldn't wait as I was on a spacesaver and went for blackcircles. They deliver rubber from somewhere on the continent, and the prices are f'ing great. If you use blackcircles, pm me your email address and I'll send you a recommendation discount.

    I second that wholeheartedly. James 'n' co., it was a great day nonetheless - learnt something new that day, had a few runs and met a whole new social circle - bargain for £20 imho. Some lessons in powerbraking from Branners and we were away - not bad for a couple of noobs eh Cornelius? It was so much fun. You big single crazycats... Matt H, CJ 'n' co. glad to be wearing glasses for the trackside when you guys were having the head to head

    ...shout-out acknowledged Good to meet you Ray - hope you get it sorted without too much heart and/or wallet ache. A very nice car indeed.
  17. LOL I'm an art director/copywriter in an advertising agency - I don't earn enough for the hassle yet but it pays for the Supe and a mortgage. Just about.

    Saw that happen Hadyn - was trying to get your attention trackside, but you went for another run WITH the flat ! Was sorry to see that, did you manage to have enough fun though?
  19. Heh heh... probably us that were at the market gates trying to shake them into submission

    My turn! James, Kosmic & all those involved in the organisation of this event: thank you. It was my first meet and I couldn't have asked for a nicer face to face introduction. Paid and had yellow stickies on but didn't get to run ... but it was well worth it nonetheless. A couple of lessons in power breaking and some free-runs were more than enough, 'cause the social side of the meet was the icing on the cake Looking forward to more like this soon. Thanks for a great day people. B®
  21. Just a reminder for those involved. Otherwise, any last additions?
  22. Hi Boonie, and I can say you've chosen a great forum here, having joined before my purchase around March. Invaluable. Jurgen does seem to be the resident import efficionado here - there are many members who can vouch for the quality of what he brings in.
