Crap luck Jay, sorry to see this bud.

Was a good night, Supra Plants car was the highlight for me. The best stock UK TT I've ever seen.

Turns out the 360 version works fine....never mind eh?

Awesome work......I wonder what my car would look like in black ....no, no, must resist Having read the thread through, I didn't see anyone mention it, while the dash is out, you might want to do the heater matrix if you haven't done so already. Search cheap heater matrix on here, and you'll find a thread with a copy part for about £70.

I think it depends on the 6sp. I think the v160 has a higher theoretical top speed than that of the V161. I reckon 180 leps with some favourable wind.

Dude, get a pic on the sly, walk past with your phone pretending to text and pap those bad boys

In for the pics....come on Matt, we know you can do it

Got this in an email, and it actually made me laugh I went to Home Depot recently while not being altogether sure that course of action was a wise one. You see, the previous evening I had prepared and consumed a massive quantity of my patented 'you're definitely going to shit yourself' road-kill chili. Tasty stuff, although hot to the point of being painful, which comes with a written guarantee from me that if you eat it, the next day both of your butt cheeks WILL fall off. Here's the thing. I had awakened that morning, and even after two cups of coffee (and all of you know what I mean) nothing happened. No 'Watson's Movement. Despite the chillies swimming their way through my intestinal tract, I was unable to create the usual morning symphony referred to by my dear wife as 'thunder and lightning'. Knowing that a time of reckoning HAD to come, yet not sure of just when, I bravely set off for Home Depot, my quest being paint and supplies to refinish the deck. Upon entering the store at first all seemed normal. I selected a cart and began pushing it about dropping items in for purchase. It wasn't until I was at the opposite end of the store from the toilets that the pain hit me. Oh, don't look at me like you don't know what I'm talking about. I'm referring to that 'Uh, Oh, Shit, gotta go' pain that always seems to hit us at the wrong time. The thing is, this pain was different. The chillies from the night before were staging a revolt. In a mad rush for freedom they bullied their way through the small intestines, forcing their way into the large intestines, and before I could take one step in the direction of the toilets which would bring sweet relief, it happened. The chillies fired a warning shot. There I stood, alone in the paint and stain section, suddenly enveloped in a toxic cloud the likes of which has never before been recorded. I was afraid to move for fear that more of this vile odor might escape me. Slowly, oh so slowly, the pressure seemed to leave the lower part of my body, and I began to move up the aisle and out of it, just as a red aproned clerk turned the corner and asked if I needed any help. I don't know what made me do it, but I stopped to see what his reaction would be to the toxic non-visible fog that refused to dissipate.. Have you ever been torn in two different directions emotionally? Here's what I mean, and I'm sure some of you at least will be able to relate. I could've warned that poor clerk, but didn't. I simply watched as he walked into an invisible, and apparently indestructible, wall of odor so terrible that all he could do before gathering his senses and running, was to stand there blinking and waving his arms about his head as though trying to ward off angry bees. This, of course, made me feel terrible, but then made me laugh. .......BIG mistake!!!!! Here's the thing. When you laugh, it's hard to keep things 'clamped down', if you know what I mean. With each new guffaw an explosive issue burst forth from my nether region. Some were so loud and echoing that I was later told a few folks in other aisles had ducked, fearing that someone was robbing the store and firing off a shotgun. Suddenly things were no longer funny. 'It' was coming, and I raced off through the store towards the toilet, laying down a cloud the whole way, praying that I'd make it before the grand explosion took place. Luck was on my side. Just in the nick of time I got to the john, began the inevitable 'Oh my God', floating above the toilet seat because my ass is burning SO BAD, purging. One poor fellow walked in while I was in the middle of what is the true meaning of 'Shock and Awe'.. He made a gagging sound, and disgustedly said, 'Son-of-a-bitch!, did it smell that bad when you ate it?', then quickly left. Once finished and I left the restroom, reacquired my partially filled cart intending to carry on with my shopping when a store employee approached me and said, 'Sir, you might want to step outside for a few minutes. It appears some prankster set off a stink bomb in the store. The manager is going to run the vent fans on high for a minute or two which ought to take care of the problem.' My smirking of course set me off again, causing residual gases to escape me. The employee took one sniff, jumped back pulling his shirt up to cover his nose and, pointing at me in an accusing manner shouted, 'IT'S YOU!', then ran off returning moments later with the manager. I was unceremoniously escorted from the premises and asked none too kindly not to return. Home again without my supplies, I realized that there was nothing to eat but leftover chili, so I consumed two more bowls. The next day I went to shop at Lowes. I can't say anymore about that because we are in court over the whole matter. Bastards claim they're going to have to repaint the store.

I think you've answered your own question then mate. Blown HG

Blimey, Dereks still got it,?!?, what bushes are being done?

Excellent surj, do you need me to bring along some extra oil for you oil burning Honda ?

Uk spec engine could possibly mean it's been transplanted from a UK car, or its had the necessary components to make it identical to a UK spec engine. Off the top of my head, you'd see steel internal turbos, bigger injectors (550), bigger fuel pump, one of the cams is different though can't remember whether it's exhaust or inlet. I can't be certain, but I think UK cars have MAF sensors fitted to the air intake.

Fuses don't repair themselves after being swapped about, once they're dead, they're dead. When you press the lock/unlock button on the inside of the drivers door, does it work?
-
Anyone vouch for the 360 version?, I'm at work at the moment so can't try it out.
-
ScottM, is that on the 360 or PS3?

My rig did this, turned out to be a hard drive was on the way out.

It's a tough one for sure, though I'm not clued up on greek law so I don't know the tests applied for prosecuting cases. If the young company reps have been charged with manslaughter, I can only summise that they have specified somewhere that as part of the holiday package (small print) that certain safety guidelines, ie the corgi certified gas fittings have been adhered to, when in truth they have not. All of the above is just conjecture though.

Get all the details from the police that you can, crime reference number, CAD number, driver details etc etc. Then contact your insurance company and instruct them to claim from the MIB (motor insurance bureau) You should get some compensation and it'll not effect your no claims.

Another Kent owner, cool . Get yourself down to the Bluewater meet this Saturday. You'll get the chance to meet a few of us before some of the bigger events later this year. The smaller events are a much more personal affair and will be easier for you to meet and converse with other members. It'll also be a chance for us to have a gander at your supe Welcome

Patient in vegetative state responds to questions
pistonbroke replied to AlexJames's topic in Off Topic
I'll go one further than being in a vegative state, my wife used to be a care nurse in elderly people homes. The stories I heard from her make me never want to end up in one of them places. Life has lost all dignity for some of the poor people in them places and I'd never want to burden anyone like that. I'll be making efforts to go out with a bang in some spectacular outrageous fashion before I get to that stage, and I'll make sure it gets on youtube -
I've seen this car in the flesh, it really is every bit as stunning as the photos portray.

Right, so you've eliminated the coil packs by swapping them over I take it? You're missing a spark (or it's weak in consistently the same area), check your coil pack clips have a good connection, you might have to press the connecting pinch point closer on them specific clips. It's in IanC's post about replacing the clips.

Gonna have to say the RS'D. I'm all for being different without being bad taste. A few people already have the lovely RZ's, but I don't know anyone that has the others.
