  1. Do not disrespect the mighty samurai Miami san!! lol, the nipple is an arm stump received in a previous battle!!. It is all traditional yakuza work(which i did not realise during it), mythology in Japan with Carp turning into Dragon's and then having to be slain by Samurai's always liked it. long haired samurai's eh who would av em, if it is a woman though i would not like to Sh*g it:D
  2. Heres pic as promised Stonkin, bit of the middle aged spread approaching now so carp is bigger now!, did not get carp coloured in and am just leaving it now, this work is 13 years old now:) [ATTACH]56300[/ATTACH]
  3. Just standard Dermatological e45 cream, it stops the itching, if you pick you can pull some of the colour out if it is not fully ready, you will then need the black redoing or touching up, some black needs re going over anyway to get it really dark, if i get a min i'll post up a pic of my front, it is a dragon, carp etc but in colour:)
  4. Like i told you use e45, it should go flaky like sunburn, i may post up some pics of mine and you can see i have some experience in this area, e45 is the king for it, do not use vaseline especially on black and shade, black is the hardest colour to keep in:)
  5. Formula one cars are fast but how many of them get a good launch? Pirelli had it right in their advert when they said "power is nothing without control" no finer statement in car racing imo
  6. Mine was mainly blocked and my engine knackered, obviously you will get no oil feed or very poor causing high temps and warping of various things, i have been advised despite some conjecture on here that when changing oil on these engines you should use an oil flush to prevent this pick up from becoming blocked as oil change alone may not, obviously the oil in your sump will still look ok and probably clean if it is new as it will not have been far around the engine!!, you will get some oil feed if it is not 100% blocked but will cause engine to run hot internally, i am no technical master but have learnt the hard way!
  7. Oil Pick up strainer mesh blocked?, know these engines are bad for this
  8. R33 GTR swap for supra no contest, R33 every time, wish i had saved my money instead of pissing it on the Aristo and bought a skyline:)

    Coil Packs

    Jody it was Steve Sherwood i think, oh as above!!
  10. I saw Jon on the day, i think the car overheated severely with a failed fan and an exhaust valve caused it to sh** itself?, bad luck Jon, you know you wanted more power anyway, you will be up to a thousand before long!!
  11. My god the v power is like holy water it cannot be bettered and must be treated with the highest respect, you also get the trump cards with it of which i have at least 3 full sets off, having said that bp 102 ron is prob better but costs over £2 a litre:blink:
  12. Hello mate do not put vaseline on only use e45 especially after colour as vaseline can cause bigger scabs and colour to come off, i was joking when i said i would never have one done i have my entire front neck to waist covered, e45 is the best thing, do not pick the scabs which are pale like dry skin as you can pull them before ready and pull colour off

    New M3

    Not as quick as i thought found this on 4car, having said that it is not slow?? The BMW M3 coupe is back, the fourth-generation model going on sale in the UK in September. Recently seen in near-production concept form at the Geneva Motor Show, it shares much of its sheet metal with the standard 3-series Coupe, but has been sported up with a new domed bonnet with air intakes, a unique front grille and valance for improved air intake, side 'gills' in the front wings, more aerodynamic door mirrors, a rear diffuser, twin exhaust tailpipes, a bootlid lip spoiler and 19" double-spoke alloy wheels. Power comes from a 420bhp 4.0-litre V8, which redlines at 8,400rpm; peak torque is 295lb-ft at 3,900rpm, although 85% of that torque is still available at 6,500rpm. A six-speed manual gearbox with variable differential is fitted; the differential can apportion up to 100% of the power to the wheel with the most grip Topline figures are 155mph, 0-60mph in 4.8 seconds and 22.8mpg. The fuel economy - an 8% improvement over that of the outgoing M3 - is enhanced by the M3's lighter weight (a carbon fibre roof panel that also lowers the car's centre of gravity and aluminium suspension components) and brake energy regeneration, whereby the alternator charges the battery with energy otherwise lost under deceleration. Like the M5 and M6, the M3 Coupe has the MDrive button for variable power outputs and selectable settings for the electronic damper control, traction control, power steering assistance and engine control mapping. More details - and pricing - will be announced nearer to launch.
  14. Most likely boot mounts, they go hard after a few years and cause boot lid to rattle on them, more of a rattle than a creak though

    New M3

    I see top gears website has pics of new M3, no test drive yet, v8 420bhp no turbos just vanos again, bet it will shift http://www.topgear.com/content/news/stories/1751/
  16. Will look good in black and grey, would never have one done myself, good size too
  17. Deleted as could not change details, see new thread 1993 Aristo TT http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=114791
  18. Hello mate i was at interpro today when your brother called re the skyline, all i can say is that Dave who does the maping is second to none, to the point that even clubs like isle of wight rs turbo owners drive all the way there to have there dynos done and are having full rr day there; i know on this site we may scoff at rs turbos but a lot of these boys are running bigger bhp than a supra in a much lighter car(i still would not have one though), defo get up there he will not be dissappointed:)
  19. Maz i was at interpro when this was going on, and i know Martin has been a **** , but it was a rolling shell nothing more and for £500 it was piss cheap, when you buy a car of someone privately you get the green slip and that is all, which covers you if you are pulled by the police, which in a shell will not happen, i am am not defending Martin and any past antics, and i for one hope to see any people owed money paid back, if for one thing just to put this whole series of incidents to rest, but none of this does any one any good, i have met both you and Pete and think you are good blokes, but Thor is 8 miles from my house and i drove to Bristol today to get further work done on my car which i am happy with and will continue to do so, there are worse things in life and it is not worth it:)
  20. Hello mate, noticed Aristo site is down again, must be that hosting company again?!
  21. Don't let it get you down, these cars can be a pain in the arse, but when running well makes up for it:)
  22. Hope you sort it Sheefa, but i have spent more than £6k to get my car running well stock, imo people should concentrate on the basics i.e is the engine in good nick before going bpu(I don't know what work you have had done though), stock engines will take a big boost in power but they will not last for ever, i doubt filling oil 1.5 cm above max would cause big smoking issues, the biggest fault with over filling is causing too much pressure and blowing a front crank seal or something similar?
  23. Christ must be a few fast little trips in there Maz!
  24. My 150 miles per week in the Aristo costs about £35 all motorway it is stock and newly rebuilt engine, always tempted by the loud pedal, when running it in and keeping below 3000 rpm i got 27 to the gallon
