  1. As dwayne states, the turbo timer feeds a constant live after the ignition key is removed to keep the engine running, this in turn keeps all your accessory live controlled items (stereo clock etc etc) running. It sounds like your turbo timer is kicking in too late to keep the engine running so all's it's doing is switching the items mentioned back on.
  2. Mate, I'll help you out with it, I've seen it sitting on the drive for ages. First off, raise it a bit, or find a stock bumper to fit to it. The road it's in is surrounded on all sides by speed bumps, that front that's on it won't last 5 mins. We'll service it, change all the fluids, give it a proper clean and the love will soon come back.
  3. EGCV valve mate, as per my previous post. I believe its one of the two VSV's underneath near turbo one, it's the bigger of the two.
  4. See problem 2 in the first post in this thread. http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=35926
  5. Is it in TTC mode?, if so, the ticking rattling is normal. Get a vid up of the noise.
  6. Sorry to hear that mate. So, is it a thyroid problem?, or just too many burgers?
  7. I've owned tons of cars, and selling them never seemed to be an issue. I was always selling to get something better. However, when I sold my first supra, I was genuinly gutted. I sold it due to a growing family, not to upgrade (after all, what else is there worth getting?). When I got around to buying myself another car, I bought a semi sensible 4 door......an Impreza WRX Sti UK jobbie, hated it, sold it within 3 months. Thought about buying another supra, but thought there's no way I'll get one as nice as the one I had and I'll end up being dissapointed, so I bought an S2000, got bored of that pretty quick too. Then I took the plunge and decided to just get another supra, and spend loads on it making it super special. Thats where I am now, loving it . I'll not be selling this car any time soon, and it's replacement when the time comes, will have to be very very special
  8. Oh, almost forgot. Darren, you wanted to see what these wheels will look like on yours? Get the tissues out...... http://img58.imageshack.us/img58/2697/dsc00074vi6.jpg
  9. Sh1t dude, sorry mate, I had a brain fart there
  10. Same as the GTLM's mate. 19" all round. 10" rear 43 offset, 8.5 front 38 offset. They'll sit exactly the same as my current wheels.
  11. Update time... Darren Q and I have managed to sort out a little bargain where he is buying the GTLM's second hand from rarerims when my new ones turn up, so I simply hand the wheels over to him once the rubber is off. Then the uber good news......my wheels will appartently be here this Thursday coming
  12. Police will have the crime number still on file. If on the report he stated the identifying features at the time the report was made, and those features are still present confirming it belongs to him, I'm afraid you've lucked out mate.
  13. As above mate. It can also be mounted outside the car for some awesome shots. 5Y50987YRok
  14. I didn't think the fighter drift came in the right offsets? What offset have you gone for?
  15. I've been a copper for about 10 years now, the job has changed massively in that time and it isn't the same career I joined all those years ago. When I joined up, I heard the 'old sweats' talking about how the job has gone to rat shit blah blah blah, but obviously then I didn't know anything different. In the time that I've been in, I've seen the red tape develop and grow, despite streamlining efforts, the job is now more conveluted than ever. As supra Gaz states, there has always been an element of budget cuts and money saving ideas since I started, things are worse now than they ever have been. They're tough on overtime, and run less operational policing (specialist units targetting organised crime) but the basic wage for a copper once enrolled, cannot be changed. As far as I've heard, they intend is to cut the admin staff in offices who are not police officers, those roles will then be filled with police officers who are currently on restricted duties through injuries (of which there are a good few). Not good news for civilian staff. It still has its good points, I love helping people in need, and I love dragging the slag off the street and locking them up. I also still love the thrill of the chase, that adrenaline rush never gets old. Be it on foot, or in a car, there's nothing like living a hollywood style chase the bad guy scene involving dogs, helicopters and fast cars
  16. Until I see you attend a meet in a supra, I refuse to believe you have one.
  17. Nice!, I've just got a load of new wallpapers for the PC
  18. Where the hell do you find this stuff? Awesome wheels though dude, get some pics of them on yours then
  19. I think thats the non airbag one, can't use it I'm afraid. Good luck with the sale
  20. Simply staggering. The 'car you would rather have' argument is pointless. 80k for a car that does nearly 250mph in a mile for 80K!!!. People are looking at it just as a supra, and not for its main merit.......ITS SPEED!! Find another car for 80k with similar performance?.......didn't think so.
  21. Hows your car running Scott, did a cap sort it?
  22. Some of us meet at 2000hrs at the Shell garage in Bexleyheath first
