  1. I had this for a few months, a ticking noise that increases frequency with speed, or with the window close - a rubbing/humming sound; overhauled the brakes, checked all the suspension bolt torques etc... Turned out to be the driver side inner CV. It was fecked basically, I removed a couple of the allen bolts which secure it to the LSD, and they were caked in grease - a good sign that the CV is shagged I managed to acquire a complete hub/driveshaft assembly from another member and replaced the lot, no more noises! Take a couple of the allen bolts out and see if theyre all greasy, its more than likely what your problem is If you do go down the route of replacing the whole assembly, as I did; good luck with breaking the bottom tie rod ball joint - it took 2 hammers, 1 scaffold pole, and 3 large men to split
  2. The polished camcovers are nice, thats about it for me
  3. Just spotted these on EBAY; very tempted by them as there are substantial savings over a UK trader, saying that I am still a little cautious Anyone on here bought one from these guys? Am I being narrow-minded by assuming something isnt koesher, just because the parts will be coming from Latvia? Typically British I guess Would there be any reason why this would'nt work on a on my J-spec; would I be right in assuming that all of the Profec B spec 2's are identical, and not car specific http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/GREDDY-PROFEC-B-SPEC-2-ELECTRONIC-BOOST-CONTROLLER-BLK-/290374894172?cmd=ViewItem&pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item439bb1425c

    Hi,Few questions

    This thread is bonkers.. What group 20 RWD car did you have insurance, 1 week after passing your test? I remember paying £1100 on a MK2 golf driver 1.6 when I was 20 FFS! What exactly do you fit on these building sites, how does it pay £40k per year following 1 year of training? Can you get me a job?
  5. He definately has good genetics, questionable whether he would be able to maintain such size and power. He is unaturally strong, as are all of the WSM guys; interesting to see how it all pans out for him
  6. Its good to see that some of their fighters are being given the boot for steriod abuse; way too many pro athletes go under the radar I think something like UFC needs to stay clean and real, I'd hate to see it get too americanised and end up like pro wrestling
  7. I wonder where UFC stand on steroid use anyway? If they have strict rules, then maybe mariusz wont advance very far; his selling point is his mass and power, both will be affected if he is not allowed to use the "supplements" that he has had available to him in the past

    Hi Everyone!!

    Your limitations lie with the autobox; the agreed max is about 500bhp I believe. If it hasnt got one aleady, it would be worthwhile buying a cooler for the gearbox
  9. Wasnt he a complete piss head? Did he have an alcohol/drug related fall?

    Hi Everyone!!

    Do you mean it is a twin turbo, running in "true twin" rather than sequential? Is it a twin turbo or single?
  11. I will be going this year; out of interest, does anyone know how many members went last year?
  12. Agreed, I've had quite a few superbikes; a little aprehensive on the first day, pushing your luck on the second day, travelling at lightspeed everywhere on the third day, looking for something faster on the fourth 700+ bhp sounds nuts; but I guess if there was more of a scene for (very) fast roadcars, it would'nt seem so mental
  13. No mate, I'd like to; have yet to be taken for a spin in a single. Was'nt having a pop at high output cars, i'm all for them and will be going for a small single once she gets her wedding... ....Its just the thought of it; 700+ bhp on the road, bonkers
  14. I think anything else looks a little tacky unless they are AP's Brembo's or something else a bit special I did mine nearly 3 years ago, black with the white supra decal with a red underline, still looking good today. Its suprising how much tidier it makes your car look.
  15. Them two guys are out of "Hot Rod", awesome film
  16. Those gauges look clumsily fitted to the glovebox hatch; I should'nt think they're very visable from the driving seat either. Looks tidy enough, the bodykit is'nt my cup of tea but each to their own

    Back in action

    I dont think you're real I will maintain that your account is a very extravagant April fools, set up by a veteran member... We'll see...

    Supra False Addy?

    The interior reminds me of that crazy dutch (maybe) car that clarkson tested on top gear - Spyker??

    Supra False Addy?

    530bhp is a little ambitious on what appears to be stock turbos; it may have hybrids fitted, but I think I have only every read that they are good for about 450bhp On the whole, its a pretty horrific car; the rear spoiler looks gash, the interior looks like a hookers sofa, the front spoiler looks ill-fitting and the wrong colour.... Supra owners should have to go through a vetting programme before be allowed to own one, might cut down on such attrocities ... but yeah 430bhp is about right, some may say more, some may say less
  21. I was shocked when i first saw a GTR in the flesh; big, imposing car - looks american
  22. Welcome! Nice to see a new member who isnt a c**k!
