Two fences panels down and ripped off the felt on my garden shed.

I've got a standard exhaust. The neighbours 'complained' about the noise but it's just a burble. They're just jealous. Wait til I get the Blitz Nur Spec.

Get it fixed ASAP. A mate fractured his bone dome when he had to do an emergency stop in his works van. The extinguisher shot through the mesh and bounced off his cranium and exited out through the rectangular window. Then as he slipped into the land of Nod he ended driving into the back of the car he was trying to avoid and got a face load of air bag!

Sounds more like this lady who followed you should've gone to Spec Savers.

How long do you guys stay out there for? What's the cost? How many laps? How many people have been killed? How many Supras have been killed?
-
If you're not happy with it I'll buy it off yer.

Well somebody's got to do the hard work! What firm does he work for?

I had a problem with the battery losing charge after I took the Celica in for a service. Turned out the mechanics flicked the boot light switch on. Toyota main dealer as well! Happens every year even with the Supra. LOL.

Why can't you splice the wires and connect the solar charger direct to battery? Shouldn't need a degree in rocket science. Just a soldering iron and some clips.

How did it feel to drive? Sure it wasn't a tyre side wall bulge? Has it been kerbed recently?

No more interesting than a dog with two dicks.

No, not the country. They want to take over the world! Bin Laden has often said he'd end the 'war' with America when they all convert to Islam. That would be hilarious!!
-
This old chestnut again? Okay how expanding it to UK spec is better than JDM? It's all quite academic because 99% of owners mess around with their cars. How would a std manual TT compare with a 400 BHP BPU auto with tricked out suspension? Silly!!!

Safe as long as you didn't give any personal details and passwords.

Massive difference. With HIDs it's like somebody has painted everything with a roller across the road in super bright shade. Even the road signs and car reg plate give off a super brightness. I hardly ever use main. They're that good. But make sure you get the right temp rating. Too blue and the visibility becomes poor.

Depending on the software, there is an option to save as an internet image which will retain sharp resolution. With Corel I've used this for images on eBay ads.

Stick 'em on if the conditions are a bit iffy. It's not as if they're a massive drain on power or contribute maasively to global warming. The 3.0 litre 6 cyclinder does enough damage. Wind and tyre rolling resistance account for more of a drain. May as well start another thread - do you use your winscreen wipers when it rains or use your indicators to overtake?
-
Hyah hyah! I do 30 mph on the flat on my carbon fibre road racer. I think any pedestrian (includes Supe drivers not driving but walking) would rather I rode on the road than the cycle paths which normally doubles up as pavements here in Cheltenham. Funny thing the other week I went for a run and a cyclist gave me a bollocking for running on the cycle path section!! What that all about then?
-
It's BAD cyclist who are the problem. I do jump traffic lights but only when it's safe and because my racer is carbon fibre and doesn't have enough steel to activate the sensors. Being a two faced hypocrite who plays devil's advocate I hate cyclists who ride full pelt on the pavement and expect you to get out of the way. While out on a night training run, I shoulder barged one twat with no lights into the road and he accused me of almost killing him. Now what if I was a mum with a pram, what then? My girlfriend would be quite shocked. LOL!!

As a professional hypochondriac I am qualified enough to say try the glass bottle test. With meningitis, you get blood poisoning septisemia which shows up as red blotches. Roll a glass over the blotches. Normally they would disappear for a moment but with meningitis they stay red. If so get to hospital. And once there watch out for MRSA C difficile - the new killer bug.

Try stomping on the brake pedal. Press the accelerator to about 3000 rev/min and let go of the brake. Trouble is you'll fry the autobox if you hold it too long or revs too high.
-
LOL!! Despite being the perpertrator of the unmentionable thread I agree with you but then I've already graduated from the Supra Kamikazi Skool of Krash Test Dummies with one Supra kill!! Hoping that lightning doesn't strike twice?
-
Reading this & other threads it seems Supe owners kryptonite is the roundabout. I have to say that tallies well with my own experience last year when I lost it on a roundabout at no more than 20 mph. It's the pendulum motion. One instance your turning right then next left. With a big fat arse hanging out with 80 litres of V Power that's a lot of mass to control. So surely suspension mods have to be the main priority over BPU & Bling!!

Poll added cos this is getting interesting. Sorry must get organised better.

Doh!! You know what? I should have added a voting poll to this thread.
