flukey-lukey

I'm here a lot more lately as I've just come back into Supra ownership (Nov 2024). Had my old one 2006 to 2009, but sold it to buy a house. The current prices were difficult to come to terms with, but reigniting those old feelings is priceless for me Have promised my son (now 18) he can have this Supra one day I was saying to Ric it's a shame the forum is so quiet these days, it used to be so busy on a daily basis! Looking forward to hopefully making it out to a few meets in the summer

Hi, I have just sent you a PM

Not long now! Looking forward to seeing it finished!

It's funny you should mention it, I was only looking at classic minis on PH the other day....then bike powered kit cars and then along came Ric and his crazy idea of you, me and RobSheffield all buying supras again! Took me a while to remember my password for the forum, and I think I'll change my username if I plan on hanging around for a while

Thanks Mr Jamesmark! It's Ric, he's trying to persuade me to buy another one! Hope you're well? I hear you are thinking of coming back into supra ownership? /hijack, sorry Ric

Here is my obligatory post to subscribe to your thread. Don't forget to come and take me for a spin when it's finished

hmmm sorry about the link, not sure why thats not working. Just search his name and then threads started by him. Yeh mark the last time I saw him was about 2-3 years ago. Agreed general bodywork condition was 'ok' and at the time I think he was beginning to buy in parts for his single conversion

and heres everything you'll want to know about the car http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/search.php?searchid=8066930

Thats Toms old car, his username is/was tom123tom123 iirc. Autobox and I 'think' its a XS power turbo/manifold, there were a few issues with mapping I think too. Do a search on his username, he was always asking questions on here Edit, username was/is 123tom123tom http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/member.php?u=16491 and hasn't been online since november 2008!

ahhh yes, interesting! I think this is what I'm after... Will have a closer look at the links tomorrow when my brain isn't tired Thanks for the help and replies people

hmmm isn't that more about the differences and not the similarities? Tried that, not really getting a direct comparison to be able to find any similarities

Ok so this may seem really simple, but I'm just stuck for what to start writing... I've been studying impact forces and deceleration due to gravity etc etc blah blah and one of the questions is... "Explain any similarities between the helmet (pushbike/skateboard type) and a car airbag in providing safe deceleration" So, apart from the obvious 'they both buffer and reduce the impact force due to momentum and/or gravity' I'm a little lost for words. Its only worth 4 marks so don't want to spend too much time on it, but 4 marks usually means raise 4 points/issues. Any input from any boffs on here please?

Last day on eBay today

It cost me a fair bit to pass my test... CBT - £90 Theory - £31 DAS - £420 Mod 1 - £15.50 (which I failed) Mod 2 - £75 (couldn't take as I failed Mod 1) Mod 1 - £15.50 (passed!) Mod 2 - £75 (failed ) Mod 2 - £75 So, bear in mind you're not guaranteed to pass first time, it can become expensive! Then theres all the gear... budget at least £600 Its great fun though, good luck with it ps. I got a Yamaha R6 for my first bike, its awesome but I messed up and came off it 2 weeks after passing my test. My advice is take your time and don't get over confident, you'll get bitten in the ass if you do!

Just cleaned them up and taken a couple of pics

Front wheel width - 9J with +47 offsett Rear wheel width - 10.5J with +50 offset

I'd take part ex on a new R6 or a couple of hot models etc? lol

I'm not too sure, but there is clearence between the caliper and spokes so I would guess so (as said in PM) Can anyone else clarify this?

To the top! Would like these out of my dads garage so any offers considered...

I'm going to pop along to this one year, just not sure which year yet!

17" STERN splitrims with Falken tyres, plenty of tread left on these. I used them as my winter wheels and thus are not perfect or show standard. Would benefit from a refurb, but if you plan on using them for trackdays/santa pod or winter then these are the wheels for you!! Need to confirm the wheel widths, but the rears are definately wider than the fronts and they fill the supra arches nicely. Front tyres: Falken 235/45/17 Rear tyres: Falken 265/40/17 £300 ono p.s pardon me for them being mucky, I called to the garage where they are on my way home from work and didn't have anything to clean them with!

A red stock looking supra with two young(ish) fellas in it. Sunday 18th April. I was on the r6 with my missus and you followed us for about a mile into the centre of Bakewell. Looks like a nice clean example

Black hardpipe with flange and apexi BOV back up for sale due to no payment :-/ oh yeh...bump!

I have both for sale in the for sale section, also a restrictor ring if thats what you fancy
