  1. It should be fairly easy to log into your Paypal account and find the outgoing transaction. It'll be in USD instead of your own currency so it should stick out like a sore thumb (it'll also be for a large quantity of money). Once you have found this transaction, open it then simply click "Request a refund". Once you have done this, send a message to MVP and let them know that you have done so. They will then be able to action the refund and the money will be back in your paypal account within 5 days or so. Once it's back, transfer the money to your account. I'm guessing there is a bit of a language barrier here as the last communication, to me at least, clearly states that they will refund you over paypal? I'm guessing the initial payment must have been paypal or they wouldn't have said this? If you are adamant (prince charminnngggg) that it wasn't Paypal, then find the transaction on whichever of your accounts you believe it to have been from and let them know that it wasn't Paypal. As much as the customer service has been horrendous, you haven't helped yourself by having no idea where the money came out of or how you paid the bill. These are very simple details that need to be known when requesting funds.
  2. Is it £70 and £60 total, or is that the deposit price? Do you know what the final pricing is yet? Just so that people can work out what the total costs are going to be
  3. Your first picture shows the chrome to be flaking off bud.
  4. Pretty famous car that. 3SGTE engine in it. Proper bit of kit.
  5. I think the Panthers will win it as they've had an incredible season. I want the Broncos to win it though.
  6. That's a serious build. Did they actually keep any of the original chassis or was it just used for modelling? Fantastic set of pics. My guess is the guy can afford it without too much of a dent in his wallet

    Ideal issue

    Is this with the engine running? The reason I ask is I'm pretty sure mine is yellow until fired up, as the voltages are incorrect until then. It's a while since I've checked though. The reason, I'm guessing, for the piggyback is to control the autobox. Unless, as Chris has mentioned, you are VVTi?
  8. I've never had an issue with my rears smoked but the light shines through really well (C-West covers were OK too). Not so sure you would get away with the fronts though. I guess as long as you weren't caught with them at night you would be fine
  9. Which run was first? The reason I ask is that, on the tt at least, the Mines ECU takes around 100 miles to tune itself If that was just swapped over and ran, there will be more to come from it.
  10. Yip, looks like your vac line has jut came off. By your original picture it was worming underneath the turbo etc (not a good idea) and to the back of the manfiold. I would follow the blue lines from the back of there to see where they lead
  11. I don't think the weld on adapter size has changed so I think you'll be fine. You'll want to order a new circlip as well though. Make sure you buy the universal HKS valve rather than the kit one (unless you want to sell the kit to someone else).
  12. It depends on how you have it setup at the moment. The SSQV4 kits will fit the stock Supra just fine, as long as it's not a weird configuration it'll fit just fine
  13. Time to buy a new BOV, Noah had that bad boy on his Ark
  14. I'm amazed that it made 220 stock. Are there any other mods done to the car? Most N/As tend to run around 190-200 (SRR Dyno).

    Mini TV Review

    I seen that advertised but I wasn't sure what to make of it. Think I'll give it a go
  16. I'm sure it'll be fine and as you say, replacements should be easily had. Diesel boxes are generally good though. I think it's rated to something like 300lbs from BMW so you can likely double that without too much worry BTW, I notice you mentioned the classifieds. You have the rights to do that just now but you need to be a paid member (£10 per year or £30 lifetime) in order to post in such areas

    Mini TV Review

    We watch Still Game every year on the lead up to Christmas (not sure why), it's amazing. Prison Break..... hmm, 1st 2 seasons were pretty good (1st especially). I've been watching the new X-Files and I'm caught in 2 minds with it. This weeks episode was just plain weird and more comedy than anything. The first 2 episodes knocks everything on it's head and then just kinda get on with it as if nothing particularly big happened. I guess that's what was needed to light the fire again but it's a little nonchalant the way it's been done.
  18. What a great project, look forward to seeing the updates. Be careful with the BMW box if you're going single mate. The 2JZ with a decent blower will make a ton of torque that'll demolish that box on paper.
  19. I reckon every genuine Supra owner in the world would buy full sets. I know my name would be at the top of the list
  20. Any links? Was it SRR? I don't think I've ever seen two RR Dyno's read the same so I always use SRR as the yard stick as it was a popular choice.
  21. Replace everything suspension related in pairs. I would always recommend changing pads when you change discs, but don't worry about changing discs if you're changing pads when they aren't required. I would change the droplinks as part of a service but I don't see the need to change track rods or anything like that unless really required, and then do in pairs.
  22. Hub dyno's read almost FWHP from what I've seen though so as much as I would say they are consistent, the power claims that the owners are left with are inaccurate IMO. I'd love to see a back to back run from somewhere like SRR and TDI with the same car to see what the actual % difference was between the hub and the wheels (none of this FW calculation nonsense).
