Provisionally SOLD.

At what RPM did you hit 1.5bar?

Lol! Ian sold them to Rosie but she never got them in the car. I then put them into mine. Who's next?

Yeah - I bought these from you as I remember in a motorway services on a pi$$ing wet day after JAE 2005! - shame you didn't get to try these out. Anyway, the time has come to move on - my car will be up for sale soon too. It's quite sad really to be selling all this stuff that took me so long to get hold of.

Hey - you can still have them - I even have the wideband you said you needed. (That's still on the car - but it could be removed if absolutely necessary....)

Just borrow the money, Doug!! You don't want to miss these.

As title - I'm selling my 550cc injectors and the original Toyota Resistor pack. £220 (+p&p) or best offer. You will of course need something like an E-Manage to control these in a J-Spec car.

Right then. I'm selling my hybrids. These were IanC's old hybrids which were discussed HERE I fitted them to my car at the end of 2005. I took them off when I bought the Corvette at the end of 2006. In that time I covered about 7,000 miles. These turbos are in excellent condition - no slop in the spindles and no leaks anywhere. With 550's, FMIC and E-manage, the car was hugely quicker than BPU and kept all of its' driveability and low down 'grunt around town that the sequential system is designed to give. The extra kick at 4k is addictive. (Best to have RLTC fitted for fast launches!!) Anyway - I'm looking for as close as I can get to £750 for these.(+P&P) I'm also selling everything else required for the sequential hybrid set-up, such as 550's/resistor pack/E-Manage blue/fields harness/AEM Wideband etc, but I'll post these in separate threads when I've got them all off the car. (550's and resistor pack available now)

I'll bet it's open as he mentioned the exhaust being "notably louder".

And you do know (don't you?) that valve stem seals can run like that for the next year without getting any worse or causing any real problems? If you're short of cash at the moment, you could just put the job off until after the summer.....just go out and enjoy driving it for now.

Budget??

Give Egg a call. Forget the headline APR rates, get a quote and you'll find that there's actually not that much of a difference (in £'s) between 6.7 and 7.7 on a loan of that sort of amount.

I have a RLTC (Non-Digital) unit you can have for £430 delivered. Instructions, cables and black control box (with launch control) included.

Who would believe this could happen to a TEACHER? Funny though!!

Sounds sensible. What is strange is that they never had this problem in the past when using a chamois, so that's what they are using again now, so far without problems. I know I've caused a scratch in my paint once using a chamois when I've trapped a pice of grit.

Our chauffers at work stopped using these blades once they had inadvertently got a piece of grit under them a couple of times. It's simple mechanics really - if there's a piece of drit on the car and you catch it with one of these, it will scratch your paintwork. (But then that probably goes for a chamois too I guess)

What? In other words you weren't covered for Accidental Damage.

Yep - put the transaction in dispute immediately. I had this over some car parts last year. After 2 weeks I basically said that my car was off the road and I had been forced to source the parts form somewhere else. I had taken this action because the seller had not replied to any of my emails and I could not reasonably be expected to wait for an indefinite period of time. I demanded a refund and got it within 24 hours. Nowadays, if I haven't received good off ebay within 10 days, I put it in dispute straight away. I had one bloke drag it out for 6 weeks once when I received faulty goods for which he failed to send a replacement. When I tried to put the purchase into dispute, I found that once you go over 40 days, Paypal don't want to get involved.

So you're on a dual carriageway that's a very busy, major road and you see a pedestrian at thw side of the road. He hasn't started to cross yet - what do you do? Get slower and slower as you approach him until you're 6 feet away and finally stop??? Of course you don't. You slow down, sure. But if you're still doing 45mph (which is pretty damn slow for a road like this) and he steps off the pavement at the very last second, like when you're 5 yards away, then you're going to hit him, and hit him hard. Looks like this chap hit his head right through the screen of the car too. Even at 45, that's pretty likely to kill him. Let's turn it around, Milly - if you're a pedestrian and you see a really busy, fast road with an underpass, what's your preference of how to get across? If it's to cross the road, then perhaps natural selection will carry on as it has always done. Apart form all this, none of us are in possession of all the facts about what happened. I don't know WHO was to fault - it really doeesn't concern me. But what I was trying to say was that we shouldn't jump to conclusions just because the driver was 80, just as we hate it when we see the driver of a fast car accused of being in the wrong just because of the car he/she was driving.

I'd be careful on the way home tonight if I were you!

Baseball has 9 innings. The top of the 9th is the start of the 9th innings - the bottom of the ninth is the end of the final innings - very close to the end of the game. It just means that at that point there's very little time to change anything - if you're going to do something it'd better be fast and it'd better be something a bit special!

Allianz to a policy where if you get in early when the dog is young, they'll cover it for life - so if your dog is diagnosed with an illness that will require treatment for the rest of its' days, they pay out until the dog has died which could be years. Don't know anything about how the premiums compare though.

Quite right - and if the word 'LIKE' is used it is no longer a metaphor, but a simile. (NOT A SMILIE!! ) e.g. "The moon is a like ghostly galleon".

You're all beginning to sound like the people who, when they see a car like a Supra that's had an accident, say 'Ooh - they must have been at fault because they were driving a fast car'. The driver was in her 80's - who elses fault could it have been?
