  1. Not at all, sadly doesn't matter what happened, it's still cat C .. so therefore doesn't command premium bucks. You might be lucky and find some on who will pay top price once they have seen the photos of the damage after the Bollard incident and that the repairs have been done to high quality.. maybee. I appreciate not wanting to give your car away of course but realistically if you advertise it as cat C don't expect what you originally said.
  2. Anyone have any insight into this?
  3. yeah definately more than usual, like alot. Just dont really understand why or how it can be not hitting fuel cut unless the sensor has died? is that even possible?
  4. Bit of a strange one, my car is semi bpu, double decat with restrictor ring, hybrid turbos, ebc, walbro fuel pump etc basically everything apart from a fcd.. decided i would relocate the solenoid of the boost controller to a more asthetically pleasing place. Usually i have it on off so it wont go above 0.8 bar boost, basically use it as a boost gauge, always goes up to and holds strong, however seems it was a nice evening went out for a bit of a blast, somehow must have knocked the controller and changed it to a different setting.. it was going way up to 1.2 bar (and above) with no fuel cut. I know the fuel cut works and there is definately no FCD installed as when i installed the boost controller many months ago i was hitting fuel cut if i turned the boost up. anyone have any ideas why or what is causing this seemingly free "fcd" thanks!
  5. 10k for a Cat C tt auto? No offence but you must be on crack.
  6. Was there a thread for the shell somewhere. Seem to not be able to find it? - - - Updated - - - Was there a thread for the shell somewhere. Seem to not be able to find it?
  7. Sily isnt it, how people can be so careless! I appreciate accidents happen, but still had my car/your car been an elderly lady or child in a push chair then it would be a far worse situation! Either way have the bodyshop out to take photos on tuesday and intend on asking how they plan to paint match new 202 paint with 20 year old paint. Anyone have any experience in this?
  8. Interesting, never been in a situation where someone has openly admitted that so fair play, pretty sure you could pick up a nice sz badge from somewhere at least then it would relate to the supra! As i said each to there own though! My car HAD a fantastic finish, it is stock black yes, sadly though the clearcoat is failing on it though and someone reveresed into it the other day so its not looking so fantastic now lol.
  9. looks good, not sure whats going on with the "rs" badge on the front. each to there own.
  10. Yep, was chatting to his passenger and just didnt look. Thankfully its just cosmetic, thought my mate had put him up to it when he said "im really sorry mate i have just hit your car" my heart dropped when i realised he was being serious!

    Sods law

    My van failed its mot, needs the sills welding no biggy. So take the supra to work today, as i obviously cant drive the van. Some bellend reveresed into it, our car park will take over 100 cars and due to us being closed to the public my car was the ONLY car in the carpark! Genuinely cant believe it. Rear bumper is screwed and his toe bar has crumpled all behind the rear wheel on the quater panel.
  12. i would advise against it, my partner is a optician, and is thus offered it for free, no one she works with or ever has will have it done. It will give you brilliant vision for now! however in later life if you develop cataracts, the surgery to do a cataract op, on already scarred tissue is un proven. Spend life wearing contacts / glasses or spend the later part of your life pretty much blind.
  13. A track experience in a single seater is a good bet! Something like this http://www.silverstone.co.uk/experiences/single-seater-driving-experiences/
  14. For me the problem is for the same price could get a proper sequential gearbox. Dont know much about the titan, may have to have a read up!
  15. Ha yeah maybe i am. My job is basicslly to teach people to drive fast so when i drive on a road i tend to be sensible! I think my auto is a bit iffy also as it thuds if i change down in manual unless im really precise with the revs... Also my main gripe is the gearing with the auto. Dct i thought looked amazing untill i sae the price tag.
  16. I also do, and i find sometimes i love it and sometimes i really want a manual conversion.. Most of this is down to it being a weekend car, as a daily auto is fine.
  17. Purely visual, i believe. One thing i would suggest if you are having one made is to make sure it doesnt hang low especially if the car is lowered. As for sports cats.. No idea on them, hold out for decats and find a friendly mot place.
  18. That article is ridiculous, so many either or's.. Just guess work
