I just left it with the gloss paint finish, no laquer. I didn't want it to be shiny. I prefer the matt look. Here's a link to the rings http://stores.shop.ebay.co.uk/THE-TUNING-SHOP_Chrome-rings_W0QQ_fsubZ246705319QQ_sidZ330164979QQ_trksidZp4634Q2ec0Q2em322

First post editted with finished pics

I wouldn't be that concerned about the mileage mate, these cars if looked after well will go on for well after 200k. I'd be more concerned about the overall condition and history than the mileage.

If you drive around the ring road with so the shops are on your right. It's the car park after the cinema on the 1st floor.

Change the PS fluid would be my first choice.

My money is on the shocks are worn. The fact that it felt better after being lifted and dropped back down, probably means that the shocks played their part until they got back to their natural rest position. Does the car feel crashy in comparison to what it used to? My old red auto TT had worn shocks and felt crashy and harsh until new shocks were fitted. My new 6sp TT has HSD coilovers fitted, and they've tranformed the car completely.

http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=35926 Problem 4: I can't get any boost on the first turbo, it oscillates around a low boost pressure. A rare one this, your IACV is stuck open, and every time turbo #1 makes boost it takes pretty much the easiest way out - via the non-spinning 2nd turbo and back out to the air filter. It's like Problem 2 but happens all the time, not just at the transition point.

mmmm, was there drifting in that vid?

Having done a little digging for you, first thing I'd go is change the belt. Apparently some belts cause all sorts of noises. get one from toyota and go from there.

To firm up, a little oil in the IC pipework is accepted, but excessive oil in the pipes would suggest something is amiss, and I would agree with blackwatch that the teals would be suspect.

I can't really tell alot from the vids mate, only thing I car hear on them is what sounds like a worn AUX belt noise.

While getting the NOS installed, are you getting the Ferrari 599 dash installed at the same time ? I swear this guy is on crack.

White smoke is not oil, it's water (or antifreeze). Oil is blue. Your first turbo might not be coming online for a number of reasons. Could be a sticky vsv (common) which is worth checking first. Also, as blackwatch states, check the ic pipework for oil.

FFS, forum is messing around this morning.

According to my calculator... http://www.morfed.net/wheel-offset-calculator/ The rear wheel will sit 18mm further out than stock, which is fine.

Someone need to bring a camera along.

you can really hear the depressed tone in the guys voice at 21 seconds

I get the impression he's really excited about it My dial rings arrived today, so my dash will be all nice and blingy for tomorrows meet.....good times

I'm not getting involved in the squabble, I'd be a hypocrite if I said I'd never raced anyone on a public road....however I will contribute by adding this.... Served by a saxo.......maybe your mates left their Hondas in over-drive

Is the phone any good, or is the iphone better?

I'm game, what time?

Thanks for the replies everyone. I don't want to take him to the vets unless absolutley necessary. He hates the place and goes a bit mental (last time he went he had to have a toe amputated, and I still don't think he's forgiven me fully). I doubt it's anything he's eaten as he's still eating everything that's put in front of him. As for his flexibility, he's just been licking his balls and ass for the past 10 minutes, so he's obviously not in pain when he's bent round almost 180 degrees. I've also just returned home from a mates house and he jumped up to greet me, I expected him to yelp but he didn't. I'll keep him well rested for a few days and see how it goes. Thanks again.

Two days ago, my dog was downstairs in his bed, I ran upstairs to take an urgent piss when I heard him yelp. I went downstairs to find him lying in the middle of the living room with a sorry look on his face and shaking. I couldn't work out what he'd done, so put it down to maybe stepping on one of my sons toys. Since then, whenever he gets up from lying down and goes to stretch where he pushed his front legs out in front with his butt in the air, he yelps before he gets half way down. He also squeaks as he runs up the stairs now, but not down them. Yesterday he went out to greet the postman and put his two front paws on the 3ft wall as he does, he yelped straight away and came running back into the house. He still wants to go out for walks, but I've been keeping him on the lead to stop him over exerting himself, he doesn't limp or favour any foot. He's not off his food, so I'm convicned he's either pulled/strained a muscle, or worse, he's injured his back. When he's lying down relaxed, I've stretched each leg out gently to it's full extent and he's not made any noise, he pulls back with his legs, but I'm sure he's always done that. He's a dalmation rotweiller cross, 6 years old. Here he is with a "please help me get better face"

Oops, my bad, should have read your sig.

Nice I'd get a steering wheel to match it too.
