    Not so new

    Hello and welcome O withdrawn, pallid and sweaty palmed type one:d The weeks fly by, except the last one...its a killer:)
  6. Chris, my car is running fine since fitting the new throttle body assy c/w sensors. The codes Pete T obtained, and a talk with the guys at Jem in London ref Lexus VVTIs with similar problems made me go for it. I was just quipping about the saga of obtaining the error codes in the first place. As to your question on throttle opening.....my biggest problem was having a garage that was keen to help me, and a guy with a scanner that seemed to work, but the two never met. So Pete T only read the logged error codes with engine off, nothing was done in real-time to see what was going on. Sorry.
  7. You mean....his profile wasnt photochopped ??? No way Jose....surely not:d
  8. I assume I shouldnt read this as its written ?
  9. Jane and I met when I was a student. Once the relationship had caught fire, and we started living together (she was working and had a flat) she supported me financially if needed. I hated it but I knew Id be earning one day. It wasnt untill say three years of employment that my earnings equalled hers, then overtook her. Then the kids came along, and even though shes had a couple of part time jobs since, the roles are well and truly reversed now. She is constantly aware of how little she puts into the relationship financially, and I have a hard job convincing her that I'm more than happy as we are. I do think its psychologically worse for the male in this type of situation, but its the relationship that counts, not the relative earnings. If your lass is happy with the circumstances, whats the problem other than your possible feelings of inadequacy ? If thats the only problem, and she convinces you you have nothing to worry about and your relationship will remain strong whatever the financial situation, then you should work with that. Accept things as they are as good, and move forward. Things are bound to change, and if they dont you still have each other. That said, if you think the relationship has no long term basis, stop 'borrowing' money from her now, and start charging her for sex.
  10. Im really pleased your investment seems worthwhile, I was worried about it:) Pete (F1 AE) first tried his 'big yellow one' saying if thst didnt work nothing would. It didnt. A cup of tea later, supped through the stern lips that scarred our glum faces, he said 'we could always try the old black one'. He wiped the cobwebs from its faded and battered body with an air of resignation. It worked. The Saga continues......
  11. Rather sad, but absolutely hilarious Come on, whos The Brick ?

    Carlisle

    Why not paint your face and arse red and white, and run along Hadrians Wall all night stark naked shouting 'You can take our wives, but you can never take our freedom' I would:d
  13. Id say you started this little blufferkerfluffle. First mention of 'TT comments' in this thread was yours....and then in you come again. Imi comes in to stick up for NAs within an atmosphere youve created. The rest is simple banter, but you bit big time. You so are:)
  14. I thought the original question concerned retro-fitting an a/s to a Supra that didnt originally have one.... To that end I was pointing out that although fitting the a/s mech and electrics was straightforward as mentioned earlier, the plastic under-tray, the front lip spoiler (the fixed rubber one, not the a/s one) and front lip spoiler mounting and backing plates are not the same for the active spoiler version, and non active spoiler version. As you have pointed out, he would need to swap the undertray as well. The differences between the rubber lip and backing plates obviously make little difference by the sound of it.
  15. Oops...I miss-read the question. I thought it was about fitting an active spoiler to a car that never had one, not a straight swap.

    GP Title?

    Kimi Raikkonnen, when asked why he missed Peles presentation of summat to Schooey.... 'I was having a shit' Pure class.
  17. Technically illegal. As far as the exact spec laid out by law, they fall down on the reflectivity of the background afaik. However, if they are the correct size, have the correct sized letters and spacing and are clearly visible / readable from the front, they dont seem to attract too much unwanted attention. I've had two MOT passes from two different places with mine, and Ive survived close scrutiny from the police too. An officer commented on it, but only to make a point.....as there was no valid reason why I couldnt fit a 'normal' plate to my car, I may have problems with another member of the force at a later date. So far so good.
