  1. Can't think of everything for you Littler, that part is down to you and some pulleys.
  2. Remove your legs and fit hand controls. Keeps the car stock and makes it 30 kg lighter.
  3. Yes I have fit a whole bike several times in the back and two adults in the front. Takes a little bit of fiddling and the handle bars need to be loosened but it should fit.
  4. Could be worn/plastic tyres, worn/leaking shocks or seized caliper pistons(This will cause lots of locking up on jspecs.) I had all of these issuses at one point! I believe Quicks**t do a free brake test if your looking for the lazy option, but take what they say with a pinch of salt!
  5. Out of interest whats the advantage of being able to adjust the drop link length? E.g What advantage does a longer drop link have over a shorter one when setting up?

    Whoops!

    Well spent today sorting her out, fixed the car too.... mostly. Damaged wasn't too bad. Started this morning by stripping it, quite a few bits and bobs behind the bumper were buckled and smashed. Anyone that thinks an aerotop is saggy take a look at the back wheel. http://img849.imageshack.us/img849/2959/img0765xj.jpg The indicator loom had to be rebuilt as it had been torn off in the crash and decided to do the drop links while I had the wheels off (Those things are such a pig to get off !) Re-attached the new brackets from Keron (Massive thanks for getting the part to me so quickly) http://img5.imageshack.us/img5/3892/img0769gl.jpg Finally the bumper went back on and made sure non of the bits would fall off. Got the new bumper from Toyboata, so its in primer. All that's left now is a new bonnet as this one has bent upwards and then get it sprayed. http://img23.imageshack.us/img23/6163/img0771lh.jpg

    Whoops!

    Update : Had the front bumper off. The damage isn't too bad I guess for the size of the accident. Having some bits left over from last time I smashed that side has helped too. I think the following parts need replacing :- Bumper Bonnet Indicator/ Loom Light Small Bracket connected to the chassis cross member (where the light screws into, near the radiator) Large Light under bracket base thing that connects both wings Wing - Got Light - Got

    Whoops!

    Cheers guys! Like people have said it could have been a lot worse and I'm very lucky to only have my pride bruised. On a side note, will my new air intake mod give me 1 million-billion bhp on my NA? Cheers buddy I might drop you a pm tomorrow morning when i've checked the damage properly.

    Whoops!

    My poor numberplate! Bonnet and wing is pushed in/up and active spoiler under tray is smashed (lips still good and goes up and down) . About the same amount of damage as last time I binned it really (same place too!) Chassis legs look fine too. Will have a proper look tomorrow and see if its worth the repair again.... just get back on the horse I guess.

    Whoops!

    I know mate, its a daily drive so doesn't get the choice unfortunately . Project time I guess - Anyone got a red front bumper ?

    Whoops!

    On my way to the parents for Easter, a couple of pirouettes and m62 crash barrier later = This http://img404.imageshack.us/img404/1410/photomzy.jpg Still got me home, and nobody was hurt. That's the main thing. Hate snow.
  12. After some inbred has decided the Supe would look better with a scratch down the side for Christmas I'm considering getting a proximity alarm fitted as i now have to park it on a side street. What are peoples experience with them, are they more likely just to draw more unwanted attention or do they count as an OK deterrent?
  13. Justin, is this the case for the front ones as well?
  14. Mine has passed for the last 3 years too with the 6k's in using 3 different garages. Will be the 4th different garage to do it this year. Fingers crossed!! I was afraid of that answer as it involves being wet.... and cold.... and Littlers is too far away to use his machines on it for haribo....
  15. Yep there HID's Abz and the camera is making them look like there pointing upwards Its mainly the difference in colour caused by the yellowing headlight that I'm concerned about. Well you and Marty had them out last so did you put correct bulbs back in? As far as I know there both 6k
  16. Currently on my very soggy supra I have one clear headlight and one yellowing headlight which is enough to tinge the light yellow. I've got my MOT due in the next few weeks will it fail because of this? Here is a picture of what I mean its more obvious in person. Not very clear I know, the camera is rubbish!(Silly I-phones )
  17. I have this problem when the bonnet doesn't catch properly and needs a good drop. Check that the rubbers are screwed in properly and make sure the bonnet catches line up with the hooks. Another thing to try is take the bonnet stand/prop thing out and see if that helps (turns out mine was bent so it kept poping the bonnet back up.)
  18. He was a fairly pleasant polar bear. Kindof looked like this:
  19. I had a protesting polar bear outside the Shell petrol station give me wave a today.
  20. Bit confused with how to fit the booster (guessing its the long silver cylinder with the wires coming out of it?)
  21. Wont be able to pick mine up from the post office till Saturday as there only open when me and the rest of Leeds are in work!
