So true. But 'speed' is easy define, unlike 'danger'. It's not right to get jail for speeding alone, there has to be something more, or you're trashing someone's life for a number. And it's just not factually correct to say that anything over an arbitrary speed is dangerous. There's a huge shortfall in the law between 'careless' and 'dangerous'. I think most of you would agree that this lorry driver deserved a harsher penalty, certainly the difference between his sentence and the rider doing 166 mph should be a lot more than 15 months!!! ...

This poll is rigged!

Maybe I was looking forward to the E52, but then I heard at least some have a call quality problem http://discussions.europe.nokia.com/discussions/board/message?board.id=communicators&thread.id=46085 Have you tried the E55 in a noisy place yet?

Yep, that DPI tag is largely irrelevant I think the only time it would come into play is if you loaded a picture into some program and asked it to print at a size given as a percentage (as opposed to in inches) - it would then work out the print size from the pixel dimensions and the dpi. At 100%, it would ask you to load paper that's about 40 x 55 inches

What a long thread! All that arguing, and it turns out you're both right... it depends on the year... (this is for J-spec...) [ATTACH]98085[/ATTACH]

Hope I didn't come across as criticising your choice, that wasn't how it was meant at all

Devan, on my scale I think I'd say those are very very very bright! Main thing for me is that for that type of LED, the white version is a very good match to 4300k HIDs. Lbm, I tried some similar to those but didn't like them - they didn't fill the reflector with light which I though looked 'odd'. Got any pics?

The white version of these match 4300k quite well, and fill the reflector with light so they don't look like dots... http://www.ultraleds.co.uk/images/u5019w.jpg 9 LED (very bright!) 5 LED (plenty bright enough to look fine)

Is there a reason why you don't want to use the bookmarking within Firefox? Its bookmark toolbar could give you what you want - you can have folders on the toolbar, which then act like menus, so you could have a folder for each topic. New bookmarks can be dragged into the right folder straight from the address box. Commonly used links can be on the toolbar itself, and if the site has an icon that you'll recognize, you can delete the textual part to fit more in. Ends up looking like this...

I'm not asking anybody, I'm just telling everybody. We can look for the North Pole, or we can play 'Here we go gathering Nuts and May' with the end part of an ants' nest. It's all the same to me.

All maps are 'wrong' in a way... the world map I posted is 'wrong' because the north pole would be shown as a line across the top of the map! (If it went that far north, it doesn't for that reason). But going up each of the vertical grid lines does head towards true north.

Sorry, that's just not right It depends on the projection used for the map - they're the same for many rectangular maps of the world...

Good point, if he's wondering which bit of Wales he hits first, it's not going to make much difference!

Grid north is a confusing term - I'd say true north instead, in what you just said there. Grid north on a map is straight up the sheet - it could be the same as true north (often is on a world map) but is different on an OS (or UTM ) map.

Does this help? The 'curvy' grid is on compass directions relative to true north, the square grid is what OS use for GB mapping... (From p35 of this doc: http://www.arrows.demon.co.uk/wgs84/50000026.pdf) [ATTACH]97738[/ATTACH] If you look at an OS map, it has info on it about the direction of true and magnetic Norths for each corner of the map... So yes, on OS maps there is an angular offset that varies depending on where you look... BUT it's just a result of the projection used in OS maps. You could use a different projection which keeps north 'up' over the whole map, but then distances would look distorted instead - Scotland would be wider, south coast narrower. (There's always a distortion when projecting the 3D world onto a 2D map, but you can choose between distorting angles or distances, or both).

Pic of mine... wheel is on the ground, but looks like there's plenty of slack and clearance...

Just making a guess, but since the body shape and exhaust routing is quite different, the body end of the hose could well be in a different place

I fear this is proving that Supra and Soarer lines are NOT the same at the rear The Goodridge lines I got for my Soarer were listed as fitting a 'Toyota Supra SC300/SC400 1993-1998', and they fit fine.

I got that wrong Looks like the 1JZ kit comes with manifolds as well... some pics of T3Gs on a 1JZ here: http://soarercentral.com/sc-forum/messages/51875/238498.html And it does look like it's a rectangular flange.

Well... I can't easily answer that with simple yes or no I meant the 1JZ kit used the stock pair of 3-1 manifolds (and it looks like them in that pic). I hadn't heard of a 2JZ kit before this thread, but going by the posts here, it sounds like the 2JZ kit would use the stock 2JZ manifold and sequential setup. And that would fit with the style of the 1JZ kit, as an 'easy' upgrade. Maybe the buyer could post some pics

I think the pic Jamesy posted is of a pair of T3Gs off a 1JZ. The HKS kit for the 1JZ used the stock manifolds but replaced the 'Y' bit.

Fair enough Didn't know they were in the habit of swapping gears, that would be a disaster! And yeah, I was thinking that shipping the whole diff over wouldn't be worth it, it would need to be dismantled over there first. More hassle. Just eat take-outs

Just double check they can actually be swapped before spending all that cash!! (Or at least, don't blame me if they can't ). Maybe worth waiting 'til you can speak to breakers on ebay.com, if one of them is willing to send you just the gears (after buying the whole diff lol) it might cost half that There's a few (but an SC400 one wouldn't be right)... http://motors.shop.ebay.com/__?_from=R40&_trksid=m39&_nkw=sc300+differential

Makes you wonder how much shipping would be on a complete diff... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/96-Lexus-SC300-SC-300-Rear-Differential-Diff-Carrier_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp3286Q2em20Q2el1116QQhashZitem5632135668QQitemZ370207315560QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories ... might as well ask!

Ouch... just searched here for that part number... $749 Same part number for Lexus is $800 (That place is supposed to have reasonable prices, btw). And also searched the EPC to see what models that number applies to... Somewhere in Europe, some 5sp Supra NAs had that final ratio, but I don't know how you'd identify it (as in, no idea what number it would be in the trans-axle code). In the US, there's three cars that used it: Supra 5sp NA, JZA80, 9305 to 9607 Lexus SC300 auto, JZZ31, 9108-0007 Lexus GS300, JZS147, 9508-9708 That widens the search a little at least, but I think it's a long shot to find just the gear set, even though there's probably plenty of SC300 diffs around in the US. Good luck
