  1. Me too... I hope the PM made sense, let me know if you need anything else. PS - Pictures by PM only please
  2. Hey all, I haven't had a chance to have a proper look but I did have a 10min search but I cant find out what bulbs fit the side indicators on the wings of my Jspec. Push fit ones? The W5W type? Like these? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/6-LED-AMBER-INDICATOR-SIDE-REPEATER-BULBS-501_W0QQitemZ200102610497QQihZ010QQcategoryZ72234QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem I was hoping to tint the lenses and wasn't sure if the standard bulbs would cut the mustard as far as brightness goes. Was thinking about replacing them with LED ones... am I wasting my time or can you buy off the shelf LED bulbs that will work on my car?
  3. Keeley was robbed... Mind you they are all pretty hot
  4. Superb video mate, well impressed... ...AND IM ON IT! :D Is there anyway of downloading it?
  5. Its called powerbraking and its not great for the box, having said that its not common for the box to fail from the odd drag start. Just don't leave it cooking for too long and I doubt you'll have problems. Some people just sit there in drive and mash the pedal, but in mine i had a play with powerbraking and managed a 2.16sec 60ft time which is pretty reasonable compared to when I raced it before. BTW revving and dumping it into drive doesn't work, mine dropped the revs down to nothing and then had the slowest start ever. I'd recommend having a few goes at pod to find out what works for you.
  6. Just a quickie, anyone know how much these sold for when they first came out about two years ago? Its the TH37PE30 model I need to know about. Anyone know?
  7. Took me completely by surprise mate, just like princess Where'd you find that beauty *goes off to find some wet wipes*
  8. Welcome to the club, pop along to some of the meets. You just missed the best one btw, you would have loved our supra only day at santa pod... Happy hunting for your new toy, im with SKY INSURANCE but will probably be changing this year as a few members have been getting better quotes elsewhere on a few occasions. Mines about 700 quid with sky on an imported TT, you didn't mention your age (or im too blind to see it) but £1500 seems pricy, was that for a UK spec or an import? Oh im 27 with four years N/C Bonus and I think £700's still too much. Mark Oh and im not allowed to mention hovis so don't even think about posting a picture of yourself
  9. Ive always thought that would be a good idea
  10. Wicked event and well organised, Well done to all involved. By far the best meet yet. my two pennies however... 1- It'd be nice to have a few trade stands to have a look at 2- Bogs are miles away!! (not a lot we can do about that) 3- Don't limit the potential runners, ive been to loads of rwyb and a couple mins wait inbetween runs is preferable for me, give my engine a chance to cool down, plus if theres a few of you in the Q gives you a chance to have a quick chat and meet some peeps. 4- Commentary would be perfect, especially if the commentator knew usernames/names whist people are running. Or even get some vinyls cut that can go in the passenger window or something. (maybe not) 5- Name badges... been said loads of times before but im not a massively vocal poster and I don't make it to many meets. Im sociable but meets can sometimes feel a bit '1st Day at a new school' if you know what I mean. 6- Couple of hotties who can pose on the bonnet of my motor... been gagging for an opportunity to get some 'lads' shots Otherwise wicked event and i'll be back next year without question. Also i reckon most people would pay a bit more if it meant a few attractions etc, just make sure it works around payday as I heard a lot of people say they couldnt afford it mid month. Oh and who owned the lad with the RC Supra? He was a little nutter
  11. Just respect the power... And abuse it on sunny days
  12. I bloody love essex girls, still trying to find one i'd like to stay with though

    Manual Vs Auto

    I'd go TT Auto if you have to compromise, its got manual mode for the spirited moments and the 'go' when you need it (or want it ) An N/A would still be a lovely car but i'd be kicking myself if id got one instead of my TT. I always wanted a 6sp TT, just like everyone else and just like almost everyone else I had to compromise. I'd rather have supra power and supra looks instead of a clutch and a chav whooping my ass in a focus. All imo of course, try a few and see what you think. Happy hunting
  14. We always use - "Johnny Foreskin & The Pullbacks" 75% of the time, it gets a laugh everytime.
  15. Thanks Mate, Gives me somewhere to start from now. Can I be added to the 60ft times list too please? (quite proud of that one ) Mark
  16. Yes my supra is really cack..... Must have missed me, Shame! Not sure where your way is but cheers for the offer, maybe at the southend meet if your bringing your camera
  17. Glad it all went well mate, i've got the same 'honour' in about 3 weeks. Shitting myself... and this is the second time ive had to do it.
  18. still got 0.5 sec to make up to catch you... ...and I will.
  19. They are like a big bap that you fill with stuff and eat, like a big soft flowery roll... Anyway, great post mate, was nice to meet you today too. I broke Mark in earlier and glad he kept it together enough for you to follow his lead... lol I've had a look through and I cant see a picture of mine on the way in, I saw you taking them so hoped i would be in the compilation... Its a black j spec which looks almost identical to this one (which you have a picture of) as we have the same wheels. Edd_T's? My Reg is M529 ACK Picture of edd_T's below
  20. Good to see all of you yesterday, fun racing with Markymark (NA) and Chris (UKTT) (I think that was your name but forgot to introduce myself - doh!) Anyway, my times... 60ft - 2.1600 1/4 - 13.4651 @ 105.14 Room for improvement definitely as im only about 75% BPU at the moment and only running 1bar, I was well pleased with the time I got though. (much better than the 14.7 time I got when I was stock ) EDIT - Just looked at other 60ft times and didn't realise mine is actually only a fart off of Adi's... pleased with that
