I work in Lewisham mate. There are not many nice cars around there. The locals seem to think that tax is an optional extra, and that they don't need insurance because,(1) they are not going to have an accident, (2) God is their insurance. Every other car seems to be stolen or full of drugs.

Steve, have you replaced your leads yet? according to the list on page 2 you haven't. If not, you need to do this next. Still sounds like the car is struggling under load which points to ignition.
-
Yup, this is true. Unfortunately. Be nice though, you might be stopped by me one day, and I'm one of the good ones. Argueing at the scene will get you nowhere, take it on the chin and argue it sensibly in court.

Have you tried pushing it back out from inside the wheel arch.?

Well, I've just read this whole thread through from start to finish, Jazz, I'll give you your dues, you have really taken some stick. You fellas have a wicked sense of humour, especially the Roland Rat in the Punto. For someones first comment about coppers reading this, yes, coppers do read it...................in fact, theres one typing this entry right now First off, sorry I didn't see this thread earlier, I could have offered you some advice. Legal advice for UK citizens is free, you can speak to a solicitor at any time of the day or night over the phone. Next bit, the police obviously stopped you and spoke to you at the scene, they gave you what they call the 'warning formula', this is, "you are being reported for the question to be considered of prosecuting you for (said offence), you reply to this is recorded, in fact, any significant statement you make, such as, "a big fucking rat ran out in front of me and I did an emergencey brake procedure", this would all be recorded at the scene, they can even offer it to you to sign it as a true record of what was said. If you didn't make any statement at the scene giving your excuses for your shit driving, then later on in court you said "there was a big fucking rat your worship", the magistrates will draw their own conclusions as to why you failed to mention the said fucking rat at the scene of the incident, because you can be sure the police would have made a note of it. Best thing is, don't make up bullshit excuses, They hear it everyday and it must get tiresome, I know I get sick of it. On the occasional instance where someone comes clean and admits what they've done, it makes a refreshing change and we can usually work something out. Moral of this story, tell the truth. Be apologetic to police officers at the scene of whatever you've done, and you'll get off on the right foot. I only give people one chance when I stop them, if they want to get arsey with me and argue about it, we will argue about it in court. If people are nice to me and polite, they will walk away from it with words of advice, and thats it.

All this recording exhaust noises has given me a geeky idea of creating my directors debut Supra vid. Heres the preview, http://www.sendmefile.com/00326774 You'll need winrar to unzip it. Before you take the piss, it took me about 15 minutes to knock this up, the final version will be cleaner cut and more professional. (I hope)

Ok heres the HKS hiper silent. First one is in the car. http://media.putfile.com/garage-noise Second is outside, with pull away. http://media.putfile.com/Pull-away-23 Edit - If you have a sub woofer, turn it up for full effect Edit again, both cats are still in.
-
good skills man, I'm impressed.
-
I want to see pics please mate, could you please show the process from prior to applying the bleach, to the after effect once the rubber is off.
-
Hmm, couldn't see it.
-
CJ, have you got any pics of your dash?
-
I contacted them today about getting my dash retrimmed in alacantra, spoke to their very freindly receptionist, I explained what I was after and she said she'd get someone to contact me, two minutes later, A fella phones me and we discussed my ideas. Very helpful. One problem though, they want £400 for trimming the dash panels, that seemed a bit steep considering I can get Nic to do it in WTP carbon fibre for less.
-
nice one, look forward to seeing it.
-
They don't compare to this, http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=6176491654107670145

ahh yes, have you got your ICE install done yet?

New Iridiums fitted and multiplugs for sale.
pistonbroke replied to pistonbroke's topic in Supra Chat
they are multiplug connections to the coil packs. When you change the plugs, they've been known to go quite brittle with age and they tend to shatter, leaving you no way of connecting them back up, disabling the car until you can buy these plugs, at least if you have them prior to you doing the work, if one breaks, its no big deal. -
yup, which one were you?
-
I'm not so up on turbo engines yet, but I remember reading a post on here when I first got my car, about a guy that was getting low boost the second turbo was doing nothing, it sounds similar to your faults described, his was simply a leak from the BOV. Sorry if this is a bit noobish, I just thought I'd try and help.
-
I've just fitted IK22 densos to my baby and it all went well, not one broken multiplug. Things is, prior to me doing the job, I bought 6 multiplug casings in case and of the ones on the car shattered, im now left with the six new multiplug casings from Mr T's. If anyones thinking of replacing their plugs, they can buy these off of me for peace of mind if they like. £20 will do.
-
I had similar problems on my FTO. There are 2 speed sensors on top of the gearbox, one input one output. Check the multiplugs for both, mine had melted on one of them. The other thing is, there is a big grey multiplug on the front of the gearbox, the previous owner had steam cleaned the engine bay which forced water in past the seals for the plug and rusted all the pins. Got a new loom from the breakers yard and all was good. I never had a problem with rev counter though. I would put it down to a bad connection on the dial cluster, there is one of them silly plastic floppy paper circuit boards on the back of the instrument cluster, the multiplugs may not be getting a clean contact with the circuit board.

Here are the replica toyota sideskirts that are fitted to mine along with the rear spats, they are a really good fit and very strong. Ask Burt, he has seen the car in the flesh. http://www.whifbitz.co.uk/supra-bodykitsreplica.htm
-
Yeah, sideskirts and spats, but blend them
-
Is the HKS Hiper the same as the Silent? if so, I have the Silent one.
-
Well, that told me.
