    ah nuts!

    I think you know the answer mate, but you should take the doctors advice. If it gets worse or you end up injuring yourself then you'll only have yourself to blame! Go and see your new (old) boss face to face and explain the situation.
  2. FWIW, my take on HKS bits is as follows: They do make some good parts, which work well and do exactly what they designed them to. They also make some parts which are close to useless in the UK, for 99% of people's cars. An example is the infamous mushroom air 'filter'. The filtration obviously played second fiddle to the amount of air they could flow, meaning people using them were forever junking turbine blades as shit got sucked through the filter. People don't realise that the idea is that people using these filters will rebuild regularly (i.e. in the motorsport arena). The big twin turbo kits that HKS make for the Supra are without parallel IMO (prove me wrong?) but again, you have to know exactly what you're about and how they're meant to be used before they begin to make sense. I can't comment on their after-sales service because I'm only using one part of theirs right now and I hate it anyway (SSQV).
  3. Nope, and funnily enough, I thought you were younger! Fancy that.
  4. It appears from your profile that I'm dodging about as many coffins as you, but with less fake tan.
  5. I love the look of the car, those wheels are nice and the bodykit looks good.
  6. There are Aztec ruins newer than that video
  7. It may well be, but a fraction of a second is enough to damage things. 1.4 bar should be OK on UK turbos, but I wouldn't want my car to make any more boost than that...
  8. If you see 1.6 bar on the boost gauge, that's what happened (unless the gauge is faulty or badly fitted, but that's unusual). Do you mean you have a peak boost setting? If you have, it's likely you made that boost for a short time but impossible to confirm. One thing is for sure, you don't want to do that on stock turbos or injectors. Your 1.4 bar - is that on stock turbos? UK or J spec?
  9. It did, but it had a lot more BHP at the time. @ OP: Why are you selling?

    na , tt , single

    Both very good posts, and 100% true from my experience.
  11. Colder air is more dense, hence contains more oxygen which gets into the cylinder, so creates a bigger bang. HTH
  12. Was that with all mods declared, and agree value? Nice numbers mate
  13. It looks very 'boy racer' with that bonnet and bumper.

    Glee...

    I thought glee was another way of saying gay, or happy.
  15. Ouch! Not good. At least you won't lose your NCB when you claim on insurance though.
  16. BAD idea. Very bad idea. Get a CBT (one day course) and ride a moped on L-plates. You'll stay alive that way.
  17. You're not lying there! They are seriously small.
