  1. Man I cant wait for UFC on the 21st....Cro Cop is gonna kick ass...Anyone else here do MMA or Brazilian Ju jitsu, Thai Boxing? Hope Ur sis wins btw...
  2. I have a concept 650...NO PROBLEMS....its down to the person who installs it...
  3. Ok I ended up getting the copper grease spray instead of getti new pads...its the cheaper option and if it works it will save me £50.... Does anyone think that my theory about the uneven pads may be correct?
  4. Ok I have seen enough pictures and enough cars to know I want to go spoilerless..Might aswell give it a try. However what do I need to do? How hard is it? And where can I get these plugs that people have been saying to use? What is involved when taking the spoiler off is it a simple job of simply unscrewing bolts? EDIT: OK OK I HAVE GONE SPOILERLESS!!!! Took about 20 mins to get the spoiler off..Cleaned up the dirt that was left and tcut waxed it in black to try and make it look a bit shiny..There are some marks from the spoiler which I couldnt get rid of but apart from that im VERY happy ...Car looks alot more smooth and more classy..From the side it really does look hot hot hot...It does give you the impression that its a bit wider to...Oh yeah I got some grommits from halfords....I got a box of mixed however I needed 4 of 1 particular size but there was only 3 in the box so im going to get some more tommorow. ALso I need to get a oblong (spelling) shaped one for the middle hole....check it out tell me what ya all think.. The pictures really dont do it justice...In the pics it looks a bit naked but thats because of the angle I took them at and the slope on my drive....In real life it really does look beautiful...
  5. I mean as in the front brakes squeal....with the old brake pads I had they didnt use to do it...its mainly since I had the new ones fitted that it really started...I think im going to try changing the pads to standard OEM ones anyway, im popping down to toyota to pick up a few parts..The pads I have produce to much brake dust compared to before....If that fails I will lub it up with copper grease like you all said
  6. so what do I do? does anyone else have/had a similar problem before?
  7. Im not sure If I do...If its the shiny metal plates then on one side it has it but on the other it doenst..the squeaking still comes from both sides however If not where can I get them from?..are they supposed to come with the pads?
  8. Ok..I had my brake pads changed a few months ago because they needed changing and were squeeking so much...even after they were changed they were squeeking even more!! I kind of ignored it and though maby it was something to do with them being new pads.... Anyway I recently had a mechanic look a them and I was told that the front disc had been damaged and that the surface was not even...Which COULD cause squeeking and rumbling of the steering wheel when braking... So the other day I had the brake discs changed...Got some 3g grooved disc....I had a different mechanic change the discs and he confirmed the old discs wer uneven and needed changing and that the new pads were fine... For the first few miles there was no squeeking noise , but soon after the noise has come back and seems to be going back to how it was before ....the shaking steering wheel has stopped and the car stops alot more smoother and sooner...However what can be causing the squeeking noise? What I was thinking is that the pads got used to the uneven surface on the old discs and kind of shaped themselves accordingly as they wore in, so even though I have the new discs the pads are still uneven and will take some time to wear in and smoothen out......But if thats the case why were they not squeeking for the first few miles when they were fitted? I was also thinking that maby I just need to put some of that copper stuff on them...but again why was there no squeeking when they were first fitted? BTW they ONLY squeek when I am braking...they dont squeek whilst I am moving. What can be causing this squeeking?...its driving me crazy Iv never said squeeky this many times before. I have standard stock replacement pads....they are not original Toyota OEMs...They are NON Asbestos if that makes a difference. HELP!!!
  9. Why why why why do they have drain covers in the most inconvinient places on the road...Its so painful going over them....And rather than place them in the middle of the road they put them on the left or right side, right where the tyres would normally go over.... I always get caught out by these stupid things, swerving all over the place, why cant they just put them on the pavement!!

    Apparently its best to stick to the Denso Iridium Plugs....
  11. How hard is it to take the spoiler off & where can you get the plugs/grommets from?

  20. Xbox 360 all the way.... *The graphics are the same as PS3 and better in alot of cases.... *There is a well established online system with the xbox, millions connected so u can enjoy and play your games online....PS3 does not have this community online YET... *There is a HUGE amount choice for games on Xbox at the moment....Hundreds compared to 20 on the PS3. *Game developers are concetrating FIRST on the XBOX....they are putting all thier resources and effort on the xbox first, the PS3 will get "copied" versions of games... *Xbox 360 games are more optimised and complete and thought through because game developers are putting more effort into them as thats where the biggest market is at the moment... Its NOT worth buying a PS3 at the moment....if you buy one its only because of the hype and NO other reasons...Better games and better selection of games on xbox...THE PS3 will be worth buying in about a year, when the PRICES will DROP and there will be alot better selection of games...Also any problems with the PS3 that may occour will be phased out...
  21. Hi, im getting my supra serviced soon, I know that last year (20000km) I got the vehicle serviced and sparks changed...however i dont know what type they were, all i know is that they were the original OEM ones. Are the original OEM sparks Iridium or Platinum, and do I/should I change them?
  22. Thanks for the PDF's Nic , if I was to get a class B service like james, would I EXPECT them to check the car through for problems?
  23. Yeah 25k and no change...However there has been a steady oil leak that need fixing, and at 1 point it i didnt realise that the level went really low and so had to top up with fresh oil most of the tank... What will I expect them to change? Also I have some goodridge brakelines that I want fitting...How much should it cost to get them done?
