  1. What sort of prices are we looking at?
  2. You guessed correct, my HTC desire with 54g Wireless Hotspot function
  3. Just sat here with a few candles as there is a major powercut in the area (around 1200 people effected) and through the wonders of modern technology i can still browse the forum yay
  4. Terrible Film - Low budget, Badly acted, stupid concept, rubbish script and a stupid ending all in all a total waste of time.
  5. I was looking to sell my Ford focus 1.9tdci http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?229160-55-Plate-Ford-Focus-TDCI&highlight=focus If your interested let me know.
  6. I would just like to point out that Whifbitz is more than willing to look at prices if you ask them, going about it this way to isn't going to score you any points when it comes to helping secure a good price. Personal example of where asking nicely can help here, When I was in the market to buy my full Ksport setup on my car, I Spoke to Ksport in the UK as I wanted to order a 356mm front and rear brake kit (8pot front and 4 pot rear), they said that they did not have any in stock and that the lead time would be 4-6 weeks if I used air freight, or 6-8 weeks if I wanted sea freight. I Asked them if they could do me a deal on the freight as I was looking to buy both front and rear kits at the same time to which they offered me free Air freight delivery (Cost a lot more than sea freight). Later on that day I sent Paul at Whifbitz an email to ask if he could match their price and offer (as I only like to deal with companies I have had really good experience with) to which Paul was more than happy to match it, not only that he bent over backwards for me when Ksport got some details wrong on my order and he managed to secure me a nice goodwill gesture from them. I have always found that when asking for prices off Whifbitz they are very competitive, I have just recently bought some Corbeau pro series seats and the price Paul came back with was the best i could find.
  7. First of all I didn’t say not to pay for insurance i said "If you don’t claim you should not have to pay again until you do" And where did you get the idea that i didn’t want to pay for insurance?? I seem to remember saying "Still that’s no excuse not to pay for it" and "I’m all for insurance”. Struggling to see where you made those conclusions.
  8. 1. KamaSupra 2. GreaseMonkey 3. Dangerousknopfler 4. StevieB (Maybe) 5. Homer 6. Sabrina (Maybe) 7. MANFAT (maybe) 8. Ivan (I'm a maybe too) 9. Silversoop 10. Richardstock1 11. 12. Will aim to get there if i can get my new seats in the car in tiime
  9. Well while that is true, you probably will only free up a couple of BHP if any moving over to electric fans. You see the Viscous fan isnt a "direct drive" unit, yes its powered by the engine but it runs on a clutch hence why you can move it when the engine is off... It will consume more engine power if its broken and turns the same speed as the engine, but a fan that is working correctly wont take away too much power from the engine. You probably claim more BHP from changing over to an electric water pump, what kit did you use for that, it was something i looked at a couple of years ago but never got any further with.
  10. Not as bad as my postman, my mail gets delivered wet even when its sunny, although its got a horrible yellow colour to it and a funny smell....
  11. It will get to the point there are so many speed camera's monitoring drivers every little move, that we wont be able concentrate on what we are doing for fear of a fine, and then we will crash and die.
  12. Insurance is never worth the money they charge for it. Still that’s no excuse not to pay for it. I was wondering this the other day; either way you look at it, Insurance is a service which you pay for in advance. I mean it does not serve you any purpose day to day that is until you need it (claim). So am i right in saying that under trading laws if you pay for something and you don’t receive the service or actually didnt need the service (like not claiming for a year) then really you should be entitled to that years money back? I mean im all for insurance but if you dont claim you should not have to pay again until you do.
  13. Usually is, hence why i will be buying Whifbitz's electric fan kit - tried and tested
  14. Its probably best to keep it to be honest, I'm sure Toyota put it there for a reason, its probably for decreasing engine noise or stopping the heat get to the paint. Mine looks pretty tatty as well, but until it falls off i wont replace it, and its not as if its on show all of the time.
  15. I was the same as you when i got my Supra, I was 22 and had a Silver Civic Type R EP3 (Pre-Facelift) Welcome mate
  16. I pre-ordered Black Op's off Amazon for a confirmed delivery for the release date (today). Did it happen..... No!! that along with two other deliveries that were supposed to have been delivered today and have been told they wont be, has really hacked me off. I love england
  17. In fact dont worry, i had a brain freeze... of course i will need to bump it up to 16Gb
  18. I need to configure 12GB of memory (6 x 2GB) in a DL380 G7 to run in Lockstep mode with 2 processors. I am aware you cannot install memory into the 3rd channel and you have to install the memory in idenctical pairs when configuring lockstep Am i right in thinking i cannot run lockstep with 12GB? I surley will need to bump the memory up to 16GB (8 x 2GB) 4 Dimms spread over two channels on both processors? Can someone just confirm this to make sure i'm not going mad?
  19. Yeah i totally agree mate, too much rear bias and i will be looking at tree trunks and barriers - Not Good I am just talking about a tad more rear Bias maybe around 5% maybe less.. depending on what its like testing it on a wet track etc.
  20. Thanks Chris I have always tried to spend the maximum amount of money i can justify vs amount of use and performance gained, and i just feel that doing the cheapest option in this case would not suffice in my mind. I dont mind spending the money on doing something properly if its worth the money and i can justify it's actually worth it. You see i dont want to get a few months down and think "ah i wish i went for so and so" Rich
  21. This would be the one of the reasons why i would be looking to change the brake bias, considering england has an average of more than 160 wet days a year, and my Supra is only a weekend car (and it usually rains at the weekends) Plus i want to get the best out of my big brake kit This is all in preperation for my Single conversion over winter. My decision was to upgrade the suspension and braking components before i started loading on more power. You see the way i look at it is this, there is no point in loading on more power (bhp) if you dont have the basic upgraded components to handle it.
  22. No there is no difference in the feeling of my new big brake kit compared to the UK stock brakes with regards to the Bias. I have always wanted more bias to the rear even when i was on my UK spec brakes. In the end decided not to investigate it properly until i changed my setup to a big brake kit, hence this thread
