  1. You would be suprised what some poeple have in their homes, this and the Miele machines are very popular in high end kitchen installs http://www.miele.co.uk/Products/Features.aspx?pid=483
  2. I think that WMF make some of the best bean to cup machines, German engineering with a cast iron warranty and fantastic simple controls, not so cheap but one of the best, we use these in the exec lounges http://www.garraways.co.uk/p424018/WMF-1000-Gastro.html?image_id=189237
  3. We only use Lavazza beans, this quality of the coffee is of upmost importance
  4. Oh yes, will give that a go tonight after a good clean, cheers
  5. My next door neighbors would possibly call a doctor if they saw me wrapping the car in cling film , they already talk about me having some kind of wierd relationship with an old Toyota !!, could be worth a try though !
  6. My car is sitting outside my house with no engine so can not be moved, with the summer sun and the fact it is also partly under a tree I was wondering if there is a protective film of something I can put on the car for the month it will be sitting waiting to go in the garage, I have brought a cover but it rubs when the wind blows and creates small swirls in he paint !, perhaps just a heavy layer of a wax substance ?
  7. You really do get what you pay for with these, In our operation the best espresso comes from grounding beans to order then using a traditional Gaggia coffee machine you make the coffee, these machines are of course not for home use, the client facing areas became an issue as these need to be quality, self service and at times mobile, to cut a long story short the best coffee we found was Nespresso and we have these machines installed all around the world now, these machines are sold in John Lewis, Waitrose, house of Fraiser etc and the coffee comes in many types depending on taste, the ' crema ' is superb and the quality of the coffee is excellent If it has to be beans then the Gaggia is one of the best IMO
  8. Christ, its stuff like this that puts everything into context, my thoughts are with the family
  9. You have 3 months so have a good read of some of the threads on here with the pros and cons, IF you by a TT you will not have a great deal of change from 8K and if that is the case you may be suprised how expensive these cars are to run and maintain and you may find yourself spending all your hard earned promotion money on the car, Buy with care and use the forum to ask plenty of questions before you spend any money , oh and welcome
  10. Of course it was a private road all the way there I would not have been trusted or able at 15 to drive a Supra thats for sure
  11. You can press 'd' search button http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=40207&highlight=cleaning+headlights Welcome by the way
  12. I take it the wheels are no longer for sale then ?
  13. Thanks for the reply mate, and I wish you 100% success with the car I really do, but are you happy with this ' boost drop ', and did you get a reason why? I would be asking what the cause was and getting it sorted, you have a built engine and 1.5 bar should be yielding much more power and torque, this is just the kind of thing I am talking about where the client and person paying plenty of money is the person left in the dark I like you kslb have very little mapping knowledge so i rely on the tuner whoever they are to give me more advise not less, I hope you enjoy it all the same and it works out for you
  14. I dont understand that, perhaps I am the last one to ask ! Was it mapped to 1.5 bar or 1.2 bar
  15. Why waste your money, put an exhaust on, maybe a manifold and enjoy it, save your cash and get a TT later as your NA will be worth very little more than it is now even if you spend a fortune on it Blimey I am a miserable git at the moment !
  16. And cheaper if my bill was anything to go by
  17. Going to cause a reaction I know but if you ask me is going single worth it on an old Toyota considering I have singled 2 Supras and 1 R32 GTR, my answer would me NO, unless you have at least 8K to single and plenty of spare cash to sort out the issues that the power causes along with the insurance, fuel, tyre wear and also the fact as in my case that a 550 BHP single becomes a second car and I have had to run daily driver along side the Supra just for practicality Am I bitter because my car has blown its engine, Yes, is this all part of big power modded cars, I am starting to think so Put it this way, sorting my engine out, replacing all the parts and re mapping just to get me back to where I was is going to cost over 3-4K, I did not budget for that and did not have the money in reserve, how many of you would have ?? worth a thought when planning to go single
  18. My T04Z getting set up map on the dyno at TDI Motorsport http://media.putfile.com/T04Z-Dyno-
  19. I have the T04R in the Supra and had the T04Z in my R32, fantastic turbo http://www.putfile.com/tooquicktostop/images/124503
  20. I am sure Gaz at Envy will have the details for us later as it is their build Gaz were you expecting more power ?? I also understand that power is not everything and I would swop that 500 fly right now for my situation
  21. Thats what I thought and was the reason I posted, I would have expected the client to have been told the reason for the lower than expected figure based on that turbo's spec
  22. I presume (dangerous I know) that it was at Marlin Motorsport in Bletchley as it was stated ' near Santa Pod ' and Dan has set up 'Advanced something or other' there
  23. I dont hate tuning, if I did I would never have brought another Supra after tuning one before , that after owning Scoobies and a R32 GTR I do have some issues with the tuners who perform their tasks and dont give any explanation to the customer on the results achieved and the factors that effected these, seeing 500bhp fly for the PHR DBB2+ turbo at 1.5 bar seems quite short of what you would expect, I would have expected a tuner to explain their thoughts to the client on what factors could have delivered this result, this may be the case however so I may stand corrected
  24. Mine made 580 fly at 1.5 bar on the same dyno just for info on a T04R Turbo
