  1. a block of wood with an appropriate groove down the middle to accommodate the sill would be more than adequate i'd assume?
  2. well done on taking on the project. More saved the better.
  3. Jamesy on here runs something like that, perhaps more trustworthy than others?
  4. that page and pin outs is great. I can only see the VVTI or the aristo pages. Do they have a normal None VVTI GTE page?
  5. You can't compare a 2.0 Z4 to the supra though surely? completely different engines and spec. You'd have to compare it to the M Spec M40i which is £49k or $64k That's like saying an Astra Active should be the same price as a Astra VXR? The base models are vastly different though not in the same league. Because you are saying that a USA spec supra is only $49,990 / £38,069.61 Let's say it was. Without Tax. You still couldn't compare that to a UK car which has 20% VAT on the cost? it would make the UK Car at LEAST - £38,069.61 +20% = £45,682 not even counting other factors
  6. but the UK image you have of the z4 is the Base model 2.0 "starting from" Comparing a 2.0 Z4 in the UK to a "Zm4 Similar" Supra is going to have a obvious price hike? The "Supra" comparable Zm4 is 49k+ in the UK? again, 2/3k difference not 15k? You cannot just convert the USA supra price to a UK price, you're missing 20% VAT on the USA price?
  7. Show me where it says OTR on the supra picture? it's only on the BMW page what shows that, see my last post...
  8. So you're saying the 15k price difference is between the Supra and the Z4. Makes sense, the BMW price will be the bog standard 2.0 (from) as mentioned the "supra" comparison starts at 49k in the UK. Im talking about a USA Supra and UK Supra.
  9. It says MSRP which is just the retailers recommended price. Sales tax and other taxes are still applicable. One thing you can't escape in the USA is tax and they charge you for everything. If you try and spec a car on the USA page it costs you an extra 1k just in processing and delivery.
  10. Ok but you're converting the USA straight to UK pounds and saying the car is 15k cheaper? where is our 20% vat added on that price? The USA car would also never be that price as you need to add their sales tax which i estimated 10% it can be between 5 and 15% depending on state
  11. Where? if you mean this post: It doesn't explain much other than a direct conversion of prices?
  12. Perhaps Frank can explain then. It makes no sense to compare the UK price directly with the USA one. They have sales tax and we have VAT. Whichever way i do it its between 4500/5500 more in the UK never 15k
  13. Feel free to explain it rather than just giving silly jibes? A USA Car at £40323 + our 20% VAT is £48323 which needs a £4308 markup to reach your £52,625 price. With the USA (without sales tax also) cost plus your 17K you'd be at £57,323 for a UK model which it isn't. Im shit at maths but not that shit.
  14. Why is that? you are saying the USA is 17,224 gbp cheaper. It just isn't? 52,625 to GBP (40323.79) + Lets say what, 10% usa sales tax? middle road = $57,887 (GBP 44296.87) Zupra: £52,695. = £8399 more expensive in the UK on a direct conversion. Now consider the car at the USA price - 40323.79 + VAT gives us £48387 which means the UK is getting charged a whopping £4308 more. probably factor in some other silly EU taxation or stricter emissions laws for EU models. So the actual figure is £4308. Not 17k.
  15. Not just sales tax of course. a far larger chunk would be VAT, dealer fees, profit, customs, import, transportation Most of the extra is taxing people who want the supra name however.
  16. Also USA sales tax adds quite a bit.

    I can't believe that. Esmail said at the start of s03 that 04 would be the last.

    I don't think they've pulled the plug on it. The creator has always said it has a story and a definite end. He was never in it for the cash cow like most series these days. Probably the reason it's stayed consistently fantastic.
  19. if it's LHD does that part fit our cars?

    The boys is great I also follow Mr Robot, Expanse and The Mandelorian not really got the time to follow much more these days! Although Mr Robot s04 isn't finished yet this is by far my favourite and is one of the best series of all time IMO.
  21. A 305 on a 11" wheel is going to be a bit of a stretch isnt it? thought it would need to be around 11.5 for that.
  22. SRD could probably help here i think they've fitted a set of these to Uzzy's car
  23. I think they've changed a few times, once after the massive hack they did then after all the sellings. Im not even sure anymore.
