  1. Someone on RMS has linked some pics from the day Ernie http://www.flickr.com/photos/39210123@N06/sets/72157620021459085/
  2. Billy bargain there!? Cheers mate, going to give Steve a ring tomorrow. Brakes are my only complaint about the supra in three years of ownership, don't know how many replacement calipers I've gone through over those years, all 4 have been replaced at some point, but hopefully refurbing them will sort it.
  3. Not feeling the love for that front bumper or the side exit pipe, but that engine bay is phenomental™
  4. Afternoon I'm after a caliper refurb kit for my rear j-spec n/a caliper, I've just tried Steve Manley but he's off until next week. I'm not sure how many piston's worth you get in a kit, but if anyone's got the parts to do 2 pistons left over I'd be interested in taking them. Failing that I'll give Steve a shout when he's back. Ta!! Jim

    Sensational....

    She deserves an award for 'most inappropriate use of a belt buckle'.
  6. The renault colour's called liquid yellow afaik, it looks awesome on little clios and meganes, a real head turning colour when you see one drive past, but I'm not sure how it would look on a big car like the supra. It may be awesome, but on the other hand you may get tired of looking at it very quickly. Either way, looking forward to seeing how it comes out bud.
  7. Carbon fan shroud would be a great idea, it's maybe £70-£80 to replace with oem and it's something that always comes up as a 'wanted', should be easy to tempt people into paying a bit extra for a carbon one. If you can undercut current prices for cooling plates/rad covers you could sell lots too, the polished ones always seem to get snapped up quickly when they come up for sale. Sill trims too maybe, or even headlight inserts. N/A stuff too would be good (cam covers etc), you'll be limiting your market if you only do tt bits. Good luck with it dude, I think it's something that someone could do well out of if prices were good.
  8. Where did you get the sill trims from Chris?

    Fixed your link bud http://www.reallymeansounds.com/forum/news-events/89620-jap-meet-photshoot-2-a-5.html What time Darragh, suits me to meet at SSI
  10. Magic wheels Geo, specially on a black Supra, good choice mate
  11. I've a black Supra and bought the black likwidart badges (both the 'T' and the 'Supra') and it looks really well. Don't have any pics though (sorry) and it's pouring down here so I can't go get any just at the minute.
  12. Looks magic Anarchy, the kit really suits a red car. Did you get yours fitted Pistonbroke? Are there pics on the forum of it?

    Licence Plates

    Is there a reason why it has to be an online supplier? Your local motor factors or Halfords will do them for you while you wait mate, should only take five minutes. You'll need your registration documents with you too.
  14. I have the book sitting here on my desk in work, I bought it two years ago and never once opened it If you pm me your address I'll stick it in an envelope and fire it in the post for you FOC bud, a couple of friends who were heavy smokers read it and quit, people that I thought would never stop too. I gave up on the 20th September, but used champix (on prescription from my doctor) to do it. Have to say it was actually really easy with the tablets, I've tried cold turkey, patches, gum etc in the past all with no success. I couldn't really recommend them though given the side effects some people have had, the decision to take them would be up to you and you'd need to think about whether they're appropriate for you. Don't expect to feel great about giving up and being free of the dirty habit, to be honest it'll be all you can think about for the first few weeks and it will make you miserable, but you don't need me or anyone else to tell you that the benefits of giving up are well worth a little pain. I don't feel like I've cheated, or been less 'manly' by going off them using the tablets - by whatever means necessary and all that. I do however feel like I've cheated because although I've stopped cigarettes, I've not stopped 'smoking' but that's a future battle... Good luck with it mate, you can do it, and feel free to pm me if you want the book.
  15. Hearbreaker Mark, hopefully not too long before it's looking like it did in that first pic again mate. Have you got a quote to get it all put right again yet? Hope it's not too painful!

    Electric Cigs

    Are you trying to totally cut out tobacco Animal? Have you thought about a vaporiser?

    ill goldfish

    We'd one that did the same thing, it turned out that the gravel at the bottom of the tank was small enough for it to suck up into its mouth, it had swallowed a few bits and couldn't keep itself 'afloat' due to the extra weight of the stones (stupid fish). It died, but I was able to replace it before the kids noticed.
  18. Silver for me, your blended skirts and spats look awesome
  19. Family Guy the other night reminded me of the pinball 12 bit on Sesame Street, that and 'one of these kids is doing their own thing' are the two things I remember most from it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HgocE-JfWFI&feature=related
  20. There was a thread on it recently Michel, if you're looking for Toyota ones they're the same on a corolla, if you're happy enough with e-bay ones there's a link in the thread https://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=183257&highlight=corolla

    Sunday the 24th from 1pm bud, bank holiday Monday the day after. I'll likely take a run down to it, I'm going to post on Supra's Ireland to see if we can get some interest as we're long overdue a meet.
  22. Is this the one for sale in Cork Shane, do you know about that one?
