  1. it is being replaced by the newer model, toyo t1r are better anyway:)
  2. It is so may still measure normally even if you drop all your coolant,have heard of cars with broken fans overheating severely and knackering exhaust valve
  3. yes http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=106195&highlight=aristo
  4. as you ar ein London take it to Tony Bones at wheels in motion, he is in Watford, he will get your alignment spot on, no one better, your car seems badly toed in check http://www.wheels-inmotion.co.uk here is a previous thread, had mine done last week, difference is amazing, i had inside front wear badly, car was set up like a drift car, only thing is it wasn't supposed to be, that is also why i lost it recently!! http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=110275&highlight=wheel+alignment sorry seen Surj beat me to it!!
  5. try http://www.clubvr4.co.uk i was thinking of getting one and they seemed quite helpful
  6. running costs are a pain to say the least, but if you go for things like Mercs and bmw's etc and they go wrong(and they certainly do) you will be looking at huge cost too, prob more than the supe:search:
  7. and this http://www.topgear.com/content/news/stories/1850/
  8. This would be interesting http://www.topgear.com/content/news/stories/1856/:)

    Toyo Proxes

    Just had four new Toyo Proxes t1r's fitted at a cost of £600:blink: but what a difference i can well recommend:)
  11. The state of this world and the fact that Human Beings have such a high opinion of themselves:)
  12. Here is another big thanks to Tony at wheels in motion, Watford, was put onto him from this site, he did my geometry and alignment on the Aristo which were way out, never met someone who knows their subject so well, adjusted car awesomely, if you need alignment or geometry doing give him a call, was an 89 mile journey for me but well worth it, makes you realise that most laser alignment centres do not really have clue:)
  13. Not a fan of any of the teams, but fact is Sheffield have not played well enough to stay in the division, deducting points from west ham would not change this, if you pay to go and see games you want to see teams that are good enough, and a fine of 5 mill whether or not they can afford it is 5 mill less they have to spend on players
  14. Went to have 4 wheel laser alignment checked on the Aristo today and they checked it against standard GS300 settings which their computer had, came up that camber and toe were all out(did not get a print out), however the car has been lowered and has tein coilovers on it so they would not touch it, however am i right in thinking that by having teins etc then going for an alignment check against standard settings is pointless anyway?? as my car has been set up for grip i believe toe in etc, all jibbersih to me, any help appreciated:)
  15. The old life was flashing before me it was a serious business and the asshole was twitching like a bunny's nose, most cars are doing 80mph plus on that slip road and it is obviously one way only, on a dry day i would have had the 450 man!! did not even get chance to go after him!!!, i am running about 290/300bhp at the wheels and those roads were like weasel shit, amazing the difference when the road is dry, just did not expect it:(
  16. Coming home from work this eve in the Aristo, roads wet, thought must be careful, bloke goes past me in a Lexus gs450h like an idiot approaching a tight roundabout, right hander that leads on to a 2 lane 1/2 mile slip road onto bypass, ect was on, got round the roundabout and accelerated not full throttle, whole back end of car went swung right then left, i go into an embankment which has a 2 foot wide gravel base thinking i am going to flip the car, steered out of it somehow foot of gas and end up back on slip road 180 degrees round facing the opposite way, if anything else had been coming up it they would have gone head on into me, 5 sec later 4 cars came hurtling past, gravel all across carriageway, car did not stall so i drove to a slip way, no damage at all anywhere but one side of car looks like Colin Macrae drove it home, waited a minute then drove home carefully, roads were greasy and the bitch caught me out, i have learnt a valuable lesson, bloke in the 450 must have had good traction control because he flew around the roundabout, bast**d:blink:

    Jody

    He is on holiday for a week i believe so best to contact interpro re anything:)
  18. Fine car Phil, swap for my 1996 aristo TT which has just had full engine rebuild;)
  19. Yes that is prob it, mine went to a fabricator who measured each car individually and made each one to fit exactly so there may have been some difference, my second decat is 3 inch ss and is lovely, and £130 fitted.Just checked with Jody why Supra pipe did not fit my car, pipe is essentially the same but the front flange has a different angle to fit the first cat therefore Aristo flange had to be made to compensate.Supra one scraped the floor on the end that the exhaust bolts to, again it could depend on make, wanted mine to fit perfectly with no scraping and it fits dead on nice and high, sorry for the hijack Seb but i suppose they are free bumps:)
  20. Well supra one did not fit mine due to the bend and fitting a supra one meant it ends up too low as a rule
  21. Looks good Seb, just one point second decat is not same as Supra as i have had mine done and had to have custom one cheers Matt
  22. Modern inks last fine now, it did hurt though your right there:)
