  1. It's boosting, but you get no power ? IC pipe off?
  2. You have 4 options really. 1) Use one of the reverse lights with a red bulb 2) Use the inner two brake lights and have them just as fogs. 3) bolt a crappy halfords thing to your bumper 4) You can use the center third brake light as a fog.
  3. Should be dead simple to reverse mate, the old disconnected feed will still be there, probably taped up. Just remove the feed from the foglight switch behind the bulb and patch it back in. What are you going to use as a fog light though?
  4. That ferrari bumper looks like ass. From the rear, that red one looks respectable, then the front bumper lets it down.
  5. I wouldn't worry about this...... My google earth apocalypse simulator predicts CERN's black hole will suck us all to death.............................. not a bad way to go really
  6. Impressed if they've found a stock GTO......................... that still runs
  7. Out of interest, what other cars are in the feature?
  8. I concur. Only the finest example should be used, this will obviously be a late model VVTI. If they go to print and you find that the writer has slated the supra in comparison to the other cars, we'll all regret not finding the best example we could.
  9. I need a new pack. Add me to the list.
  10. Subscribed..... I need to know when this magazine is being published.
  11. You need to clarify what it is you're after. I guess it's either the throttle position sensor, or the idle speed control valve. If the above poster can't help with parts, Keron or jezz should be able to source you a second hand one for peanuts.
  12. I don't think they're THAT slow. When I get home I'll find some Vs vids on youtube or streetfire, I'm sure you'll see the FTO holding it's own against cars in a similar league.
  13. http://www.alignmycar.co.uk will tell you your nearest place. Some may disagree, but I've found the well priced falken 452 tyres to be fine for everyday use.
  14. I'm addicted to battlefield 1943 on 360 ATM. I can't stop playing it
  15. With regard to the tappet issue. The non mivec has hydraulic tappets, regular oil changes will keep the engine sweet. The Mivecs have adjustable tappets which obviously require adjustment. Camskill used to be FTO specialists and believe they still stock and can get hold of all the parts needed for the car.
  16. My car had the same problem with the seat belt when I bought it. Got a second hand one from Jezz on here for £40 delivered (he breaks supras). They are easy enough to fit yourself. The bulbs that you took out of the reverse lights, was one of them red ?
  17. I owned one, I thought it was a nice car Mine was the non mivec, apparently, they're more reliable than the mivecs, and there is really no performance difference. It had the best tip box I've had the pleasure of using, it changes gear exactly when you tell it too, not 5 seconds later like more recent newer cars I've driven.
  18. I don't doubt your man, he's obviously stopped the leak. Fingers crossed it's a lasting fix Yeah I know, I just went by what the OP pointed too in the pic.
  19. Wow, that's just about the most professional "messing about in a car" vid I've ever seen. I agree with the baby bit, slightly bad taste that one..........
  20. I thought the oil was spraying out of the area marked by the arrow. That is way above where the seal is. How has just replacing the seal repaired where the leak was?
  21. She looks photochopped in the pics , we need her on her own, holding said hovis. Extra points awarded for poses in suggestive manner
  22. Don't get involved mate. My wife argues with her mum and sister all the time, though one time it got quite vicious so I stepped in to be a mediator. All parties then turned on me, even though I had nothing to do with the grievance.
  23. I've had adjustable pillow ball mounts in the past. They clicked when you went over small bumps in the road. I was told this was a characteristic of pillow ball mounts. Just so you know.
  24. Any mate, I have software to convert on the fly.
  25. Can he not do it from pictures? Edit - too slow.
