    OP shown statistics for LEGAL immigrants from EU countries. Wow, in one sentence you say that it is fault of employers and government and say that this cretin Farage and his party is a solution because he wants to limit immigration by kicking some out? Daily Mail, your daily source of information Chris, wow!

    It' is unfortunate, but UKiP seems to be prospering on a back of people like Tony or Paul. I made an effort and checked Crime statistics and number in England in 2000 (before EU immigrant influx) and 2010. Number of estimated BCS crimes is actually lower (9.8 million in 1990 and 9,6 million in 2010). If James's business in booming it might have something to do with financial crisis dragging more people to poverty, working in depraved areas (Midlands). Gangs was always in area, my house got burgled by local finest once, yet because immigration is such a hot topic it's so easy to blame "outsiders" for all bad things happening in a surrounding world. During last 4 decades most crimes was committed between 1994 and 1996, since then it is dropping down dramatically and is on lowest level from 1983. Only thing Nigel Farage is doing well is to spread hate and use "rhetoric" to appease uneducated masses.
  3. Hello and welcome. Czy można już rejestrować samochody RHD? Uważaj, bo większość tu jest sprowadzana z Japonii więc może być kłopot z homologacją na szyby, lampy itd.
  4. 3 things to check really - rear discs/brakes - as they can start vibrating when warped/corroded, differential - as you are loosing oil from it and finally propshaft balance - if it was taken off and seperated.
  5. I had a leak once through rotten banjo pipe connecting to steering box (pressure Feed Tube), it simply rusted through under plastic cover and was leaking.
  6. No, you just remove 4 plastic clips at the bottom and it will move out of the way enough for a ratchet to get there I just removed fuel tank from mine to replace fuel lines.
  7. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/like/291080816790?limghlpsr=true&hlpv=2&ops=true&viphx=1&hlpht=true&lpid=108&device=c&adtype=pla&crdt=0&ff3=1&ff11=ICEP3.0.0&ff12=67&ff13=80&ff14=108&ff19=0 I was using Tiger sealant black to seal all my headlights after refurb (and i've done 5 pairs already) none of them never misted. I was splitting lenses from body, then clean seal area where there was excess of old sealant, then I was filling it with Tiger seal and put all in owen to heat all up (oven set to 100C) with lens just loosely sitting on the body. Once hot, I pushed lens properly and smear excess around connection line (use baking gloves when pushing it!) You can also clean and respray plastic covers inside when you are on it. I used matt black spray after sanding rings out(they was peeling) and I took out triangular metal cover from underneath of middle lens for spraying duration and put it back once all is dry - looks nicer imho.
  8. I'm positive you do not have to do 12V mod for pump to work correctly. I've done same conversion and managed to run it through custom harness i made, never had to touch any wires except for pin 27 on orange plug which needed to be earthed to body.
  9. I'm looking for reasonable price up for these 2 bad boys: 89543-30160 and 89542-30160 Suppose to be RH and LH front abs sensor for GS300. Thanks in advance
  10. Before connecting OBDII reader car goes perfectly fine, then when i start extracting data from ECU, it seems like TPS loosing signal because of data flow to reader and throws up a fault. During TPS fault car cannot be revved over 2k and is very sluggish, almost not reacting to gas pedal. After i send "Clear" command and stop extracting data from ECU, everything goes back to normal. That's why i think your TPS is permanently faulty, try spare TPS to see if it will sort it out.
  11. I had this on Aristo when Throttle Position Sensor was throwing up a fault, could not make it go over 2k. ECU reset usually helped, it was caused by OBDII reader trying to read too much data from plug.
  12. AFAIK mating W58 to 1JZ is straight fit, electrics are more complicated, I made custom harness to mine so didn't have to cut any wires at all, it's plug and play between Supra internal loom and 1JZ. Other things you wil have to do is: engine mounts from 2JZ, fuel pressure valve from 2JZ (otherwise you wont be able to fit fuel line there), 2JZ fan, heater matrix pipes from 1JZ, accelerator line from 1JZ, front tow hooks from 1JZ (otherwise SMIC won't fit - unless you plan FMIC).
  13. This Ferrari bumper indeed looks terrible, altough GTO replica looks quite well composed (do not kill me! )
  14. Thank you good Sir I was expecting you on this thread
  15. FullAttack - RPM will not work straight from the loom, you need to bypass this resistor shown on pic above. I actually done plug and play 1JZ/2JZ harness in mine, works better as you do not have to cut anything and it fits straight from the box
  16. Hi folks As my V8 is slowly getting to stage where it wil be put into engine bay, I have couple of questions: 1. Power steering lines - PAS pump is on the RH side of the car where MKIV originally have all lines on LH side. What have you done to sort this out? 2. There is water pipe going on the LH side of the engine from block to thermostat housing - originally it was cooling oil going through oil housing next to oil filter. As i have to use Soarer oil filter housing (engine is from LS400), there is no cooling there. Can i simply ditch this pipe and blank holes?

  18. It will have a bit of overfuel at beggining, nothing to worry about unless your fuel consumption is high, at the end of the day it's not 3 year old car My advise would be to check fuel lines underneath fuel tank cover and on the side, they tend to rust badly there and if you have enough money, UK brakes and braided brake lines are very good idea
  19. Hi there, where in West Mids are you located?
  20. Normally you just get complete engine + gearbox set for easier installation. Also 6 speed TT's are not THAT common, most people doing auto NA to auto TT conversion, where you do not have to upgrade much at all and auto boxes costs peanuts anyway. I for once prefer automatic transmission (yes i had all types - 5 speed, 6 speed etc.)
  21. Weather looks quite good according to BBC website :-)
  22. Keep Soarer till you finish all jobs especially water pipes, it is quite straight forward job, ive done 3 conversions by now :-) electrics - contact nodalmighty on this forum, he is quick and efficient and do sterling job. Before you will send soarer to scrap or something i would like to have a chat with you about some internal plugs.
  23. change of fuel filter is very straight forward job, just put some container to catch fuel. it won't leak a lot, but it will sip a bit. You can use small caps from new filter to plug this leak :-) you do not have to disconnect fuel pump, make sure you put copper seal ring back in place before screwing fuel bolt into filter
  24. check fuel filter first, easy and cheap :-)
