  1. What? - US spec Supras use imperial bolts???
  2. Why is an IC supplied with imperial threads for a car that is entirely metric. Contrary to popular belief, a 13mm spanner is not the next size up from a half inch! /vbb/images/smilies/bbcode_shock.gif
  3. Holy shit! The 1970s have returned!
  4. I can't believe nobody knows this car - it was a very sorted looking piece of kit!
  5. Very tasty purple metallic with chrome(?) wheels, good sounding zorst and a bov. PSX on the plate. I was walking so you won't have spotted me. Going for an Indian were you?
  6. First I would save up for a banked oval track to drive it on. Yes - a tasty looking Supe.
  7. The unit made by Thor/TRL is also very handy for fixing the power steering and active spoiler (if you have one) along with converting the signal for the speedo. It's easy to put a change over switch for the speedo feed to switch between mph and km/h - handy if you're a Le Mans/Nurburgring fan!
  8. I was a bit puzzled by this as well. I had 1.2 bar and less than 400 at the flywheel. and some decent tyres or it will go to waste.
  9. As of this morning it passed the 1,000,000 signature mark. If you haven't signed it, do it now!
  10. A closeup of a tyre size would resolve this.
  11. Nothing to do with journo styles, but Tiff is a real racing driver and he would thrash JC on a track. The feature he did with the ("Japanese Ferrari") NSX was to show how "good:D " the tc was, but then he switched it off to show how "good" it is switched off.
  12. It's not the only PC I have:d
  13. Sorted! Hey this is a good club!
  14. WANTED Anybody got a serial port mouse for a PC. Not a PS2, not a USB, a serial port one. I've got a very old PC with MS-DOS/Windows 3.11 and it pre-dates the modern mouse. I'll give it a good home! I really wish I hadn't cleared out my old PC parts bin... PM me.
  15. The issue is that in 1993 that was the format of car shows. Occasionally they'd let Tiff loose on a track but usually in a 911. I remember him doing Oulton Park in an NSX with the tc off!
  16. If it's going to stand for a while and you're not planning on new tyres then it would be worth putting it on stands.
  17. Welcome to the club. What's the origin of the car, being LHD, is it a European or US spec or Icelandic spec?
  18. Forget your Range Rovers, my brother had one of these - on the road! But I'd prefer an F40.
  19. I've signed up - it appears to be by far the biggest petition on Blair's no. 10 web site. It was over 80,000 signatures this morning, then the server went down!!!
  20. Thinking of buying one of those USB turntables to go through my 300 odd LPs. Nothing as new as Todd's list in my collection! (an oldie...)
  21. Well that has stopped 'em in their tracks... so to speak.
  22. Never upgrade the engine until you've done the brakes!
  23. Only with an LSD. It may just be a CV joint - they normally sound horrible if the balls disintegrate.
  24. Popular myth is that Cheval meat is just any horse. It comes from a particular type of horse and it's not the stuff you find at the pony club! Ask any knowledgable (and they seem to be when it comes to food) Frenchman. Incidentally, why are prawns 3 times the price in the UK that they are in France?
