    My old white indiglo dials. I have some new reverse indiglo ones but haven't fitted them yet. Edit, whoops, noticed you want facelift, my bad.
  3. I've seen a picture showing that Matt was otherwise ...... occupied, while the lights were being fitted :D
  4. I can't contribute to any specifics in the technical dept, but I also have a mines ECU in mine. Car runs brilliantly, and from other peoples comments that I've heard who have been in a BPU car running the normal ECU and then gone in mine, it apparently makes a difference. Other things I've read about (though can't link to at the moment). The Mines ECU changes the timing so only the best fuel you can get hold of should be used. This also allegedly affects the actual noise of the engine (it makes it louder). It does not miraculously get rid of the lean spot when the second turbo comes online, I have a RR printout which shows this is still present, though the AFR values are all well within the green throughout the run. As for the raised rev limit, I don't know, and I'm not going to find out Good luck with the sale matey
  5. Might be a bit of an incentive for some of you. This is one of the best days I've ever been to. If my car was on the raod, I'd be there
  6. I think from whats been posted before, that there is no advantage to having an FMIC unless you go single.

    De-Lipped

    I like it without
  8. Mine will have a 'happy' front when finished
  9. It's amazing how peoples views change around here. 2 years ago it was all about bodykits. Then the yanks change their style and go with the stock look, now we are following them like sheep. It's opinion at the end of the day. My personal one is that a supra can be stunning with or without one. Take JP for example. His last supra was kitted up, wide, with HUGE wheels, and it was renowned as being one of the best, now he has a stock one, and again, it looks stunning and is talked about by everyone. My favourite one at the moment is this one.
  10. I wouldn't say 139k Km's is big mileage, check the high mileage club, there are some serious figures in there.
  11. It's a 1.7 TD. Elegance model. Spec is in the ad really, only extra is the CD player.
  12. Not the C Beebies CD!! .... NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! Sorry to hear this mate, makes me feel sick with anger this kind of thing.
  13. My car has all the service history from japan. Though it does have 139000km's but at least I know it's genuine.
  14. I imagine people said the same during the transition from mk3 to mk4. Look at them side by side, if you didn't know what you were looking at, there is no way they could ever be contrued as being part of the same marque. I wonder if they'll make it as tuner freindly as the mk4? So far, from what I've read, the r35 gtr is no where near as tuner friendly as the previous itterations, saying that though, it may just be early days.
  15. Jurgen, who is your mate? I'll soon be getting some work done to mine, so am after the best deal possible.
  16. This has served my wife well for the past 5 years, recent back problems however have pointed to the seats in this car causing her a few issues. The doc has said she needs something with a less upright seating position. http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/1104299.htm
  17. Thanks very much, I'll take that as a compliment.
  18. Top effort, can anyone explain why some top secret bumpers look like they have a lower lip that others. I know some cars are actually lowered, but his one seems to still have a fair gap between the front tyre and the wing, yet the front lip is really low
  19. Yup, Fraser and I swapped cars. His S2000 is my old car, and my new supe, is his old car I'm not going to get into the whole S2000 thing in this thread, only the other day I reeled off several paragraphs in a similar thread regarding s2000 ownership pro's and cons. Just to put it into context though, here is my old s2000 It is a UK car, with brand new Rota Slipstreams with falken tyres, new Eibach Pro springs. Fully serviced, and a gajillion other things done. Mint body work too. I only wanted 8k for it sale price, though I swapped it with the supe and cash went Frasers way along with the S2000.
  20. Taste issues aside, it does look like a good fit.
  21. The tick part that follows the bumper line on the bottom is much bigger on the vileslag spats. OEM are a perfect match for the bumper lines. Some people say though that they block the view of your uber phat rear tyres so prefer the no spat look. Ridox have the smallest rear view tyre intrusion, just aesthetically pleasing from the side (facelift only though unless you blend them). HTH
  22. Have you checked for error codes?
