It was on Piston Heads for about a month I think, but I never got any interest so never renewed the advert! A member on here called Sadark, don't think he's posted much, if at all, but it's still in the club. Seemed like a nice bloke, knew his stuff and looks like he's going look after it.

Cheers mate. It is a shame I had to sell it cheap, but she had to go! Time to start looking for a diesel run-around...

Now sold.

Just a quick one to say that NOS and Sadark have PM'd expressing an interest in the car.

Another bump and BIG price reduction! After a month or so of continuous financial ball-aches, I really could do with getting rid of the old girl now so am prepared to take a bit of a hit on the price. I know I couldn't have picked a worse time time to sell but hopefully this is enough of a bargain to tempt someone So I'll now take £5.5k for her.

Bump and price reduction:)

I have, reluctantly, grown up and started to let my head rule my heart and decided that the time has come for the Supe and I to go our separate ways. There are a few reasons for this: I can’t justify having a money pit any more since jacking in a well paid job to join the Army. I’m not enjoying her any more as she just gets used to ferry my kit back from camp once a month and the odd trip to Tesco. Now I’m living in barracks I don’t have the facilities to give her the care she deserves, such as a weekly wash etc. She has approximately 69000 miles / 111000 km on the clock (still counts up in km) and drives very well. Taxed until end of April 2011 MOT until October 2011 Oil and filter changed October 2010 A bit of back history: The car was purchased in November 2004, with approximately 48500 miles / 78500 km on the odo. From then until the end of last year it was only used for pleasure as I had a works van, and since then it has only been used for making the trip from camp to home up the motorway once a month or so and the odd trip to the shops. Hence the low amount of miles I have put on it, the majority of which are motorway miles. Throughout my ownership, I have done pretty much all the work on her (with help from my dad) and done my own regular servicing, hence there is very little service history. Anyway, down to the details: Engine Specifications: Twin Turbo 2JZ GTE 3 litre 6 cylinder Turbocharger & Induction: OEM J-Spec Turbos Apexi Power Intake Induction Kit Greddy Spec LS FMIC Stainless steel FMIC plate Blitz SS BOV Aluminium Expansion Tank Fuel, Tuning & ECU: Blitz Dual DC Turbo Timer AEM Wideband UEGO Controller (AFR Gauge) Blitz MD Boost Gauge Blitz MD EGT Gauge (sensor not fitted) Greddy BCC Walbro Fuel Pump Denso IK22 Spark Plugs Manual Boost Controller (set at approx 1.1 bar in warm air at the moment) De-limiter / KM – MPH converter Exhaust: Blitz Nur Spec R Cat-back Envy First & Second De-cats Envy ~1 Bar Restrictor Ring Exterior: Clear Side Repeaters with Silvatec Bulbs Facelift Front Indicators with Silvatec Bulbs UK Headlights Body-coloured front wiper arms and blades Do-Luck Front (genuine) Veilside Spats (genuine) Bomex Skirts (replicas) Rear fog light incorporated into rear light cluster Spoiler removed De-badged Suspension, Wheels, Tires & Brakes: Do-Luck Double Sixes recently re-furbed and sprayed graphite grey (18"x9J Front / 18"x10J Rear) Tyres: Goodyear Eagle F1s (245/40/R18) Rear (plenty of tread left) Pirelli P-Zeroes (275/35/R18) Front (new for MOT) UK Brakes – Painted black with Supra decal. Interior & ICE: Black Painted Dash Blue Dash LEDs Blue Footwell Lights Speedhut EL Glo Dials Kenwood DDX7029 Head Unit – iPod connection in glove box Isotta Handbrake Isotta Katiena Steering Wheel Engraved aluminium tax disc holder Aluminium trims – temperature dials, air vent surrounds etc Security: Sterling Cat 2 Immobiliser Cobra Alarm with key-less entry Paintwork: In good condition for a 17 year old car but has the usual stone chips at the front and a few blemishes here and there, although on one of the rear spats the lacquer has crazed a bit. This is not noticeable unless close up. Also Included: Toyota Workshop Manual that CJ was selling a while back 2nd Cat (for MOT time) Lots of receipts and previous MOT certificates Bad Points: ODO turns off when the lights are turned on Speedo needle sometimes sticks (just needs a sharp tap to un-stick it) ‘Overdrive Off’ light doesn’t work. Dash looking a bit tired with a few scratches etc and one of the screws has pulled through. The plastic panels in the boot are cracked The tool kit is not complete As mentioned, the EGT sensor probe still needs plumbing in and is cable tied up in the engine bay. The AFR gauge reads slightly lean on idle, but is fine on cruise and WOT Crazed lacquer on spat Minor Niggles: The glow wire used when I did the blue light conversion seems to be on its way out, so the temperature dial is not very visible at night. Home made battery clamp as the stock one wouldn’t fit the battery I have. Logos on mats are disappearing on the driver and passenger sides and there is a burn where some solder was dripped onto the driver’s side. The decimal point does not light up on the AFR gauge One of the rear speakers crackles a bit with very low notes Looking for offers around £7,500 £7,000 £5,500 The car is in the Banbury / Warwick area usually.

Thanks for looking.

Of course he has the right to leave if he doesn't fancy it any more, but only after he's man'ed-up, done the job he volunteered for and served his years notice. He made the decision to go into the Army off his own back, as I have myself, knowing that things might be a bit unpleasant. Going AWOL and leading an anti-war protest isn't the way to go about things.

I'll be one of them in a couple of weeks, all going to plan.

Exactly that, he wasn't forced to sign up and must realise it's part of his job he's chosen, the throbber. Somebody on an Army forum has taken the time to write an 'open letter' to him, it's pretty long but is spot on and well worth the read: http://www.arrse.co.uk/Forums/viewtopic/t=136239.html

The RR is not an exact science and the boost levels they allow will differ from car to car I believe. So, as Homer said above, you can either keep opening it up until you get the boost figure you want or fit it as it is and use a boost controller so you can adjust the boost for different air temps to avoid spikes. I bought an "1.2 bar" RR from Envy but was only making 0.9-1 bar, so I fitted one of these and it's fine.

You scored: 18/20 You are the king of petrol-heads, the Rolls-Royce Phantom of cars and almost fit to join the holy trinity of Hammond, Clarkson and May.

Awesome call! I'm so tempted to download it from the PSN store and play it again, but I know that I'll end up spending months on it and not getting anything productive done.

Mario Kart (on the SNES), Super Mario World, GTA IV, Fallout 3, Championship / Football Manager series, Command & Conquer Red Alert or Frontier: Elite II. Probably spent the best part of a year of my life playing on these games and couldn't choose a favourite.

Got back myself earlier and had a belting (and very cheap) weekend in Krakow. We tried to follow all the advice given to Tony and failed miserably , but somehow we all managed to stay out of the nick. I remembered this bit of advice in particular after meeting a few girls in a pub, but we just thought "sod it" because they were stunning. Luckily, they were very friendly .
