  1. Get the auto TT, you'll probably decide to keep the automatic transmission anyway, it's very good.
  2. J-specs are supposed to have about 280bhp stock as apposed to uk specs which have 326bhp, I think in reality most stock j-specs have a similar power output to the uk spec tt if you listen to people who have their cars rolling roaded the j-spec is usually well over 300bhp, They say that the j-spec power difference is a white lie to keep the Japanese car market happy (something to do with emmisions? i think). I believe the main difference is that the J-spec has the smaller, faster spooling ceramic turbos and the uk spec have the slightly bigger and more laggy steel turbos which can take a bit more boost (upto 1.4bar) than the jspecs, uk specs have 550 injectors and j-specs have 440? Different people give different opinions but that is what I have read. If you can find a uk spec with decent service history and low mileage, which is becoming quite difficult that would be the one to go for in my opinion.
  3. That is a cheap price isn't it??? I would want alot more than that to part with my seats. Gibson trimming seats are faultless.
  4. Welcome mate, A UK spec tt would be your best bet because the insurance is much cheaper than the japanese imports. Have you tried an insurance quote yet? sky insurance are a good company and do price matches if you get a cheaper quote.

    bored.... So

    I've still got a zx spectrum 128k (with the built in tape deck) in the loft, must be over 15 years since I tried it but it was working when it was put into storage, my favourite games were New Zealand Story and a rare little game called Log Flume, I almost forgot Horace goes skiing for a minute there too. I loved my amiga 500, did anyone else have blues brothers and fire and ice? I would love to have a game of those two now.
  6. Yes it's normal, my box has always done that from new when it is on standby.
  7. As Jake said just remove the ecu to stop the warning light i think.
  8. Welcome, nice car you have there, a bloke down the road from me has one of those, there quite quick aren't they?
  9. I think he will come unstuck against a good jiu jitsu fighter, much like lesnar did against Frank Mir in his first fight. If he learns a ground game he will be unstoppable but it must be hard for a man on mariusz's size to maintain that level of aggression for more than a round or two without tiring, It's very interesting though. Would love to see him fight a decent heavyweight
  10. Will you have to cut much weight for the fight, whats your natural weight? I've always been impressed with the way fighters cut so much weight it must be torture.
  11. Good luck, what weight class are you fighting in?
  12. I would think it would be more likely the igniter pack because that seems to be the most common issue with jump starting problems. As mentioned you'd be better of buying second hand parts from here, check the wiring to the alarm/immobiliser aswell, make sure no fuses have blown there, it could be that the ignition/fuel is immobilised. The ecu part numbers will be different depending on whether your car is auto or manual transmission i think.
  13. The cars progressed very quickly, how do you afford it all, you must have a well paid job?
  14. That looks much more like it, the wheels make it look more complete, good job
  15. How about these pictures with the new wheels Peter? I've been keeping an eye out for days now
  16. Do you not worry about writing the car off though, it is always on the back of my mind if I am driving in bad conditions?
  17. Welcome, what are you looking at N/A, TT, Single?
  18. I try and leave the supra on the drive in wet weather, it's perfect for my escort though

    BT Vision

    I have just been sucked into subscribing to this (bt vision) is it any good? It is only £15 for the box, a one off payment of 9.50ish for ESPN and then £4.60ish a month after that. The only reason I am having it is for ESPN and the premiership football and it's cheaper to have it through bt than sky which I will be keeping aswell. The box should arrive on the 15th December.
  20. I heard that one at work today, they don't take long to think them up do they?
  21. Have you tried tnt and ups they usually take most things without a fuss
  22. Agreed 100%, I wouldn't notice the spats, just the wheels, looks great though, it's really taking shape now
