probably a repost but for those of us who've not seen it yet The doctor said, "Joe, the good news is I can cure your headaches. The bad news is that it will require castration. You have a very rare condition, which causes your testicles to press on your spine and the pressure creates one hell of a headache. The only way to relieve the pressure is to remove the testicles." Joe was shocked and depressed. He wondered if he had anything to live for. He had no choice but to go under the knife. When he left the hospital, he was without a headache for the first time in 20 years, but he felt like he was missing an important part of himself. As he walked down the street, he realized that he felt like a different person. He could make a new beginning and live a new life. He saw a men's clothing store and thought, "That's what I need... A new suit." He entered the shop and told the salesman, "I'd like a new suit." The elderly tailor eye d him briefly and said, "Let's see... size 44 long." Joe laughed, "That's right, how did you know?" "Been in the business 60 years!" the tailor said. Joe tried on the suit.. It fit perfectly. As Joe admired himself in the mirror, the salesman asked, "How about a new shirt?" Joe thought for a moment and then said, "Sure." he salesman eyed Joe and said, "Let's see, 34 sleeves and 16-1/2 neck." Joe was surprised, That's right, how did you know?" "Been in the business 60 years." Joe tried on the shirt and it fit perfectly. Joe walked comfortably around the shop and the salesman asked, "How about some new underwear?" Joe thought for a moment and said, "Sure." The salesman said, "Let's see... size 36. Joe laughed, "Ah ha! I got you, I've worn a size 34 since I was 18 years old." The salesman shook his head, "You can't wear a size 34. A size 34 would press your testicles up against the base of your spine and give you one hell of a headache."

ta Ben, just what I was looking for too cheers Ash x

Rich We need a bumper to make a template to make a mesh to sit in the bumper for you to see how it fits comprendez amigo?? You can always give me yours to give them Lxx

Hi Matt i've been looking on fleabay for a while now and nothing standard appeared, only after market

or streeeeeaaaatched Had to smile as i looked at the belt, reminds me of a liquorice wheel - same grooves and colour :D erm.....ok. maybe not

thats great. thanks for your help jake. just need a part number to call mr t

Hi Steve Apologies for not getting back to you sooner. I had an offer of a bumper but on loan they need one to keep in order to make a template but you will be the model when the first one is ready although you have to be prepared to 'put it about' as much as possible :D Lxx

ah. I see. so if its so easy almost anyone can do it On a serious note, what does changing it involve Jake? Removal of the tensioner? Any tools other than the usual ratchets/spanners? thanks again

Hi luke there are usually quite a few going from Leicester. the usual meeting place is leicester forest east services between junction 21/22 so keep you eyes peeled as there may be a thread about it soon Linda

Hi Jake I have a print out from the workshop manual for a drive belt inspection. I leaned on it fairly heavily (i weight train a lot ) and it clicked down but took some pressng! Alignment is within the range specified. am I right in assuming that the drive belt isnt changed as a routine measure at the same time as the cam belt?? thanks

I've asked them to send me a photo of one fitted to a scooby, looked top notch at japshow, will post up as soon as it reaches my mail box

OK, eliminated cambelt and pulleys from 'squeeling' problem after removing cam cover, checking for play on pulleys - new bolts and good condition of belt, back up recent cam belt change I was told about. Next: Auxillary/Drive belt - tension slack, could twist it to about 100 degrees off horizontal. is that normal? it seems somewhat excessive to me. Pressing down on belt moved tensioner so no problems there, I reckon. Is it a major task to change the drive belt? Any 'how to' guides or knowledge here? (as thats what I joined for, time it started working for me!! :D) Advice appreciated Linda

Thanks for that folks, will definitely call them

Your selling up hun!! I'm gutted Why?? Hope nothing bad, and all well with you. Wondered why you'd been so quiet of late will text you lol Lxx

As above, Weston Performance in Solihull, Birmingham. builders of one of the best drift 200sx's on the planet Not that I want my car to go sideways Looking to get it serviced there as they are close to me Chris Wilson is an option but cam pulleys not sounding good at mo so need somewhere bit closer Anyone used them? cheers Linda

surprise me!! Lx

That was one of my thoughts too. I'll check tonight if there's any play on the pulleys. It's due a service anyway but I was hoping for a financial breather due to paying for new kit and paint job etc cheers hun

Hi all My supra has started squeeling like a pig and having checked the cam belt have noticed it is quite slack. I believe it had a cambelt change not long back (its done about 75K miles) and the condition of the belt is good, no fraying splitting or delaminatig. How do I adjust the tension? I'm reluctant to drive it in this condition as all hell would break (expensively) loose if the belt slipped off - worse case scenario I know but its difficult as it is my daily driver, work etc. Any advice greatly appreciated Linda x

Hi Paul As your supe is a prefacelift you will need to get facelift wiring looms from Mr T I have the part number at home and can get it to you later, unless someone else can chip in meanwhile The looms need some cuting and soldering and you will have to remove your headlights to get reasonable access. You will also find an extra bolt on the side of the indicator unit that needs removing - just unscrew it. There are guides for fitting facelift indicators which I found here on the forum, with pics have a search as they are very useful. My knowledge of electronics is limited but even I could do it!! If there is no undertray under your bumper, you can put the supe on axle stands, pull back the covering in front of your wheels and grovel around underneath to reach the fixings better. Its fiddly but fun Good luck! Linda x

Its a no brainer mate Actually, it depends what exactly your looking for in your next set of wheels. Let us know then we can put in our 2p worth Linda x

Maybe the graphics were a no choice option as the paintwork was so bad But that colour!! liking it hugely, kind of storm blue but more intense L

There is no way on earth I would sell my car while I'm still alive and breathing I understand totally but.... ...to be fair, I dont have sprogs to squash into the back seat and 50 bags of shopping to cram in at the weekends and my commute is only a few miles. I'm single don't have a mortgage, kids, a partner and hefty bills to worry about (though trying to save for my own place again) but others do and my beast is sucking up money like a Dyson right now.... and its only an NA! (runs like a dream, just investing in getting it looking sweet ) If I had a hungry TT and was struggling financially I would down size....to an NA My 3rd jap car now, couldnt face any of that european sh@t again What you save in fuel and gain on space you loose on sh@t dealerships, tacky workmanship and driving around in something every dick and jane has Lx

I think it must be the same one he wore at jap show last week.....before it rained

At least no-one can ever acuse me of not being honest

Traitor! hope your enjoying m8 though not sure if its a fair swop
