interesting. my first reply to this thread didnt come up... where are you trying to post to in particular.

did you haave to go with a specialist insurance company then? i hope to move to the usa eventualy and take my car with me.

ajusting the recline while your sat i8n the seat is a pain in the arse too.

Good old forum uses have not changed over the years i see... "why is the forum slow. moan moan moan, the mods should do something. moan moan moan" ... *server is offline for maintenance* ... "WHY WAS THE SERVER OFFLINE, I DONT BELIEVE IT. WHAT A SHAMBLES!" God i hate working in IT. i get this all day at work, then i come home and its the same on here

dan did my car too. runs real well.

facebook is good for events and things like that. but for a base of information and knowledge like we have on here with articles and things. its bad.

the only person who creams themselves over my car is evinx

goodd luck not smashing your arm into your drink every other gear

when my last one broke i got a new one. the place it was at at the time sold the old one to a recoreing place. saved me a bit of money. turns out the new one didnt fit. so i baught my old one, jujst recored. its still going after 5 years. where it was that recored it i dont know. but it was more than buying a new one.

from what i remember they only needed a handfull of cars and at quite short notice. imo trying to get that on here would have been a pain. much easier and faster to gather the info through the facebook group

the easy way to tell if its a uk spec car and not a jspec car that has been retro fitted very well is the vin plate. jspec vins have japanese writing on them. my uk spec didnt.

2 cars go past one at once. how do they know which car is making noise. how do they know its not someone mowing a lawn next to the camera. what if the council are cutting the grass. everyone on the way past gets a ticket. ridiculous. There are so many ways that this just wouldnt work. and id imagine chalenging a ticket and saying "prove it was my car and not x" Although. i do agree on noisy cars being a nuicence. a few months ago we had cars comming into a capark at 2am near us and just revving the nuts off them. called the police a few times. But that was 2am. not 3pm on a sunday.

sounds like mine. but its not white any more. and i havent driven it this year till last week

Im so glad i moved away from BT/adsl options. all lies. never got speeds advertised. i know its the nature of the cables and distance and stuff, but it pissed me off no end. im not even sure id want to go and try the fibre options from bt. Not now iv seen what you can get elsewhere. Iv been on virgin for almost 10 years. Never a single problem. They have upgraded me twice, for no charge. and i now get a nice steady 220mb download and 11mb up. though obviously if you cant get virgin your stuffed

yeah. its not that accurate. it goes off whats on your logbook. some cars are registered as "toyota supra". some as "supra" or "supra rz" etc. iv even seen some as just "toyota". The "supra turbo" is a mk3. my old uk spec was registered as "Supra Auto" its a mess

mine has 2 cup holders. as long as there is no passenger.

cheers. it was an aftermarket hose not an oem one to start with. and it had hose clamps on it. i didnt have an issue with it coming off. its always been fine. it split in the middle of the hose.

Hi guys. My turbo water cooling hose popped the other day. Thankfully i was in the mcd's drive through 5 mins away from home so managed to get home ok. I tend to not know anything about car stuff but i can throw a spanner at things if i need to. And i figured, i know i have some hose. I know i can fix this. I pulled the hose off. it was old and basically crumbled... I took off the heat wrap (as its right next to the hot side of the turbo and near the exhaust) and rummaged through my boxes of car bits and found some silicone hose the right size. Hooked it up, put the heat wrap back on, topped up the coolant and went for a test drive. All good. Then i'm thinking, can this silicone hose take this temperature. so i jump online and figure ill just check demontweaks. That will tell me the temperature ratings of the hose. This is the same as my old hose - https://www.demon-tweeks.com/uk/automotive-plumbing-solutions-400-series-push-on-oil-fuel-hose-553140/ It like a double wall. textile reinforced, quite tough feelng stuff. - 120degC I replaced it with your average silicone vac hose type stuff - https://www.demon-tweeks.com/uk/samco-silicone-vacuum-tubing-standard-colours-247869/ apparently 200degC But my gut is telling me that the silicone hose realy isn't up to the job. the supra is my only car at the moment as my daily is having some work done. So i don't want to commute with it for 40 mins on the motorway on Monday with a shitty hose. What do you guys think? gonna be ok. Or should i just order some of the old hose.

Everyone inn this thread right now

i have seen this one too

I echo all the thanks to everyone burna said above. I have a couple of suggestions. I and my wife love the events but we are wierd, aquard, bastards especially when tired or hungry. So sorry if we didn't hang arround much with everyone. We don't hate you. Just bad at conversation. Sorry I think something like a WhatsApp group we could all join. Would be great. Just while we are on the event. Good for banter and getting updates. "I missed the train", "we are skipping this afternoons stop". On the last day I kind of overheard plans had changed and had to go off and find burna to be 100% for myself what was going on. It's probably because as I mentioned above about being a bit antisocial. But I think it would be useful. We underestimated the length of time till the afternoon lunch stops. We generally don't eat breakfast and we didn't get any propper snacks with us in the car. A man can only live on haribo for so long! So By 3 in the afternoon when we got to lunch I was almost dead But again. Probably my fault but feedback none the less. My wife would add that she finds french fields boring. Holland and especially Luxemburg trips were much more interesting scenery wise for her. And I'd tend to agree. But I did enjoy the roads very much. Some great routes.

yes. great event as always. didnt socialise as much this year as i was just knackered and the bed was far more appealing than standing around with you lot looking forward to the pictures thread.

Looks like I'm the only one who didn't get on the 7:20 B train and is stuck on the later C train. Guess I'll see everyone at the first stop

Here you go mate. Bit more visible towards the rear. and you dont see it at all unless your a few ft away and kinda looking for it. there are a few other join lines. the door handles were difficult. i think he said they are 3 pieces. and the mirrors are a couple i think, the picture below has a line. but im not even sure myself if thats a join line or a line on the bodywork under it. as i think there is one there anyway. Then the insides of the openings on each side of the front bumper. The particular colour i had doesnt stretch as well as some of the other colours, so oyu might get less joins with other colours. and apparently carbon wrap is even worse because it splits easily.

It's not. The join line is hidden in the small ridges along the roof. So the rear quater along above the window and down the side of the windscreen is one piece. Then the centre of the roof is another piece.
