  1. I paid just over £200 for the built item incl the painting. As these are limited I expect this to go for more. Otherwise I'll keep it.
  2. Thanks, it's a great car but seeing Jamie's new pics of the photo shoot makes me damned nostalgic... Pickup is also cool...
  3. Forgot to mention that the buyer pays postage. Also, I can't remember if I had to trim the carpet, and as my car is dead and buried, I can't check. DamanC, could you please let me know? Cheers
  4. I'm not sure bud. You could always come around and try but I'm in SE London so it may be a bit of a trek.
  5. As above, these are now limited editions as Lockys96 isn't making them anymore. Mine is painted gloss black (done by a body shop about 2-3 years ago) and fits a 10" subwoofer. I used an Alpine sub and it sounded great. It fits in the space behind the seats and is held in place by the seats in the upright position. This will fit straight in when you remove the foam thing in your boot. It clears the spare wheel and fits under the boot blind. The enclosure looks like this although this is Michaels car and I think his was a 12" version. Hope he doesn't mind me using his pics. http://www.megaboost.co.uk/supra/mine/speakers/sub-01.jpg http://img227.imageshack.us/img227/7343/sub00sf9.jpg Here's the link to the build thread of the boxes http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=70776 I'm taking bids as this is one of only a few out there so it's worth whatever someone wants to pay for it. If the bids aren't high enough then I'll hold onto it. The highest bid by 12h00 5th March 2010 gets the enclosure (unless the highest bid is a tenner and a box of Maltesers)
  6. I have one of these as well. Also brand new in box. Same price PM's please. Obviously once Swampy has sold his. Sorry for the hijack.
  7. I'm not that keen to split them but I'll let you know. I'm not sure, I'll check tonight.
  8. You need my Full Race downpipe/midpipes Pity its a 3" flange...

    Happy Birthday

    .....to me So hungover..........!
  11. Doubt it unless I specifically ask but I'm trying to stay away from the situation. A little bird told me the garage was stripping parts (effectively stealing from the insurance company) so I'm keen to keep my distance.
  12. Just to say that the Boxster S has the same issue... needs revs to pull away.
  13. Very nice. It accelerates hard all the way through the range, although you can feel the powerband shift slighty at about the same point the Supra did (I haven't looked down yet to see what RPM it's at). I had it in a 4 wheel drift around a roundabout the first day I had it, and it handled it really well. The cornering and braking is phenomenal. It could do with a turbo or some more NA power but otherwise I have no complaints. It's difficult to drive slowly though which is where the Supra had the advantage. From 1-2k rpm, you have to rev it a bit or it stalls. No pulling away using engine speed. It needs definite revs to get moving (Not so cool looking in front of a crowd when you stall ).
  14. Great result, but I miss the Sooop Yeah?!?!? Would be good! The engine / gearbox are fine from what I could tell.
  15. I've just done my tax return and the accountant sent me a screenshot from HMRC showing that the company I worked through (I'm a consultant) that was supposed to be paying my tax and NIC contributions had in actual fact paid NONE! They tried to dissolve the company and it's apparently now in administration pending litigation! I'm furious. I now have to pay the tax AGAIN as the taxman doesn't care about people stealing your money, only that they get theirs. Anyone else on here affected by this? http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=1703021 http://forums.contractoruk.com/accounting-legal/20590-sunday-solutions.html
  16. I know, but it's taking up space and I need the cash now. I had a years worth of PAYE NIC tax money stolen by the payroll company (now in litigation) and I need to pay the tax man - FOR THE 2ND TIME!! I doubt I'll get the cash back as they did it to over 1000 people and then ran away to Switzerland. Sucks big time and I had to put it on my Credit card, so I now need the cash. No probs bud.
  17. I like the carbon door sills. Nice! Welcome
  18. Indeed I'm very pleased with the result. 997 C4S with turbo wheels and GT3 kit - 3.8l 355bhp. Not as fast as the Supra but just as much fun. I'll get another Supra next year and then start again
