got a quote for £511 from Sky, £100 cheaper than lifesure so I took it . . . . but despite informing them twice that it had a TOAD category 2 immobiliser, now that we've sent them all the requested documents they've sent back a letter saying that they want a certificate for a category 1 system .....

a really rare car though - UK RZ-S can't be many of those around :flame Dev

Sorry my socks are green and I enjoy walking in the mountains with the family. It cuts both ways there are inconsiderate mountain bikers who come tearing down the footpaths in a state of semi-control and there are intolerant hikers, but in general I've always found that most of both groups just want to enjoy the countryside without the bigots from either side

first time my other half drive mine she reversed it into a large boulder thus achieving two goals : 1) removed the naff halfords fog light that had been stuck on 2) lots of guilt points for spending time on the car bonus ! anyway she drives it quite often now and really likes how easy it is to drive.

well first and last time I go to that site

I hate you ! here I am trying to resist and you say they look even better ! aaargh
-
look here they look really good - don't fit in with the colour scheme I was going to go for but I'm really tempted anyway ....

Anyone seen or heard of this : Ebay wheel refurbishment DIY kit My alloys are a bit scuffed (and by the look of them they've been refurbed before) - so I was wondering whether something like this would be fo any use till I can afford to get hem done properly !
-
I had mine inspedted when I bought it - about as much use as a chocolate fireguard ! complete waste of time - if they actually saw the car - and money as far as I'm concerned but I guess it's pretty much down to the individual you get and if you can be there to watch what he checks.
-
I had the same problem with the tyres turned out that the suspension had failed and the alignment was well out - get your alignment checked that'll save your tyres - won't help your other problems though
-
I think you're supposed to mask someway off (or at the nearest available sharp edge) and feather the edges to blend it in (for the paint and the lacquer), but I might be wrong
-
You can't of gone very far with the front wheels removed
-
not nearly on the same level but we got a notice saying that there are some kids in our village going round a syphoning off petrol from all the cars they can get at (for the trial bikes they ride round the village ) little swines
-
I got one off nicely, and used this method on the other (as the head sheared on my screwdriver aftwer the first one ! just be careful with the hacksaw not to get the paintwork
-
cool a £10 headset and you can sing ! I must get one - my singing is awful so anything to improve it oh I'm on messenger too.
-
yes I've got 1A1 - Bronze and they matched it beautifully, as I said I just spray some into a container and paint it on with a small brush (like the ones used for model painting) and then once that has dried do the same with the lacquer - certainly the best touch up match I've ever come across (but you do need to be quick with the lacquer as it starts to solidify very quickly so do it in very small batches
-
I'm just quoting some Supra resource I found on the web somewhere :flame Dev
-
hmmm, looking at the Resources -> Technical Reference section I found this
-
halfords do a paint matching service but personally I just went to the nearest paintshop I could find and bought a spray can of paint and one of lacquer and then spray into a small container and paint on with a model brush (00)

Well I've got my Supra on Autotrader for £9500 and haven't had a single call ! but it does look like the prices are down as there are several traders selling well below that but they're including things like "body coloured bumpers" in the description so probably don't know what they're selling - could be some bargains out there for some people but it's not a good time to sell

still think the 712 Ecsta supra look a better bet.
