  1. I reserve the right to withold my:d until I dont need to crawl along cautiously keeping one eye out for the nearest lay-by and my crawl-by-wire throttle starts behaving itself
  2. 320 stock bhp quoted twice, no flames.....interesting:)
  3. Romsey Road (A337), Lyndhurst, Hampshire SO43 7AR Tel. 02380 282814 Turn off M27 Junction 1 (Cadnam Roundabout at end of A31)) head for Lyndhurst on A337. Mill House is on the left just as you approach Lyndhurst town centre.
  4. 101 Dalmations attempt a Mexican Wave....and fail woof,woof,woof,woof,woof,woof,woof,woof,woof,woof,woof,woof,woof, woof,woof,woof,woof,woof,woof,woof,woof,woof,woof,woof,woof,woof, woof,woof,woof,woof,woof,woof,woof,woof,woof,woof,woof,woof,woof, woof,woof,woof,woof,woof,woof,woof,woof,woof,woof,woof,woof,woof, woof,woof,woof,woof,woof,woof,woof,woof,woof,woof,woof,woof,woof, woof,woof,woof,woof,woof,woof,woof,woof,woof,woof,woof,woof,woof, woof,woof,woof,woof,woof,woof,woof,woof,woof,woof,woof,woof,woof, woof,woof,woof,woof,woof,woof,woof,woof,........oh shit!, er....woof ?
  5. Same with me....worked fine when I got it (Motormall did these didnt they ?) then first MOT came up and it failed due to 'no fog light'. The garage didnt ask me, they just screwed one under the rear bumper and told me theyd fixed it and whoever had done the SVA needed kicking !
  6. Would you really need parking for ten bicycles ?
  7. Shame CJ. I was looking forward to meeting you. Next time.
  8. Update Since Tritons service and throttle cable adjustment, I enjoyed a couple of weeks of trouble-free Supra ownership. Then the problem came back with a vengeance. Did a trip to Brighton, and it happened five times on the way there...once when I was overtaking, scared the shit out of me. No problems on the way home and for a few days after that, but its once a day now. Next step is to prove the TC has nothing to do with it. Its never happened whilst TC is OFF, but its not off often. Humour me on this one. Next, once I've put the TC theory to bed I'll remove the de-limiter / converter (or rather I'll ask Triton to do it). May replace the MAF as well, and Im getting a new O2 sensor from Nic (oops, Id better pay for that:blink:) If that aint it, we are into big money. Had a great chat with JEM in London. Loads of Lexii (?) have the same TPS problem as me, and the TPS fails regularly with intermittant and random periods of good and limp-home. According to JEM, replacing the entire throttle body is the only way to go.....in their opinion, the TPS is virtually impossible to calibrate and many have tried and failed. I could assume that my original TPS went belly up, and the new one I had fitted last year wasnt calibrated properly, but I will never know will I. Buying the whole assembly ensures you get a pre-set up set of sensors. Anyone who feels this is innacurate, please let me know. £720 plus fitting from Mr.T. is half my BPU budget. A suggestion from JEM was to 'borrow' another VVTI throttle body complete, and try that for a while. I'll tidy this thread up when I have more news.
  9. I'd love to see the results on your RR session Pete.

    oo dear..

    £4000 for those wheels ? They look identical to mine but 20" and chromed.
  11. £8 K for a '97 VVTI TT Tip ? NURSE:blink:
  12. Er, no I wish....just seemed a great idea for home security, like those signs with a picture of a dog saying 'break in - and make my day'. Mine would say 'break in - and meet the Humphreys'
  13. Yup Lulworth. The seaward side has cliffs and what look like castle walls....the wooded side has laser guided sentry guns and pictures of Janes family pinned to the trees. You could fool the lasers with mirrors, but by then youd already be dead.
  14. Oh well, catch you next time....have a good one:)
  15. at least we'd find it:p you know when you is in big bird in sky yet James ?
  16. This is it as far as Im concerned, the house just right of centre....one day maybe
  17. May I suggest Sunday 17th. Meet up at 2pm, The Mill House in Lyndhurst. Either stay there or, after meeting up there, trip through forest to the White Buck in Burley.
  18. TT VVTI Tiptronic owners........ Those who've never had an issue with their delimiters / converters, what type have you got ? Also, anyone got any detailed set-up instructions (circuit range / performance) for the (VVTI Tip) Throttle / Pedal Position Sensor / Switch A ?
  19. Dont even think about attempting her bra strap on friday...you are bound to put someones eye out:d

    A 100 year old Pirate saw a ghost... He clutched his chest and cried aaaarrrrghhh me hearty
  22. Jane just has to remind me I've a daughter that age, usually enough to shame me into looking at loads of pics of turbos and wheels. She was facinated by the shemale link though.
