New original toyota discs and pads sorted it bud.

If you seriously want to stop them vaping is one of the easier ways to do it I would say.. start with around 12mg of nicotine and work your way towards 0mg nicotine and then stop completely. It can be done. Alot of people seem to fall into the trap of always sucking in their ecigs and end up becoming more addicted to it than normal cigs. Just be careful with the amount you use it

Liquipal is what I started on and it's very good. Does the job fine.. I only changed to uprgrade my setup . Very rarely use my e cig now after 4 months of no smoking. Was a 15 a day smoker for 7 years.

Haha I've already had a go myself on my phone ... looked similar to your effort rob haha

LOL. . Behave !!

Hey guys Can someone please photoshop the colour of my wheels. As I'm waiting for some new wheels I'd like to get my awful current ones refurbed a different colour. Could I have anthracite or black if anyone could do that for me I would be most grateful Thanks in advance

I'm out if this now. Taken far too long.

I'm out if this now lee. Works pissing me around and I can no longer have it off. Sorry bud

Wow.. your replies never fail to amaze me chris, always so instructive and book worthy I will buy some genuine toyota toe arms I think. Do you have any part numbers for a facelift tt vvti ? If there's any difference in facelift vs pre facelift ? Thanks for all your help bud, means alot that I can call upon the guru for sound advice

Yes I did chris.. as soon as I found out that it could be the toe arms.. I straight away remember you saying that early on... why are you always right Chris lol Would knackered bushes in the toe arms cause my symptoms then bud ? The thing I don't understand is why it was soo much worse the wet ? .. could it maybe be down to when it's dry the tyres are fighting it from going everywhere ? Then damp conditions surrender a bit more ? It's like ice in the wet.

OK guys so a bit of an update.. after replacing the rear tyres and it still doing the same thing. I checked the bushes and was determined to find what it could be.. With the car not jacked up I yanked the inside top of the tyre and there was a huge amount of noise and play .. I looked under the car whilst someone jigged the wheel and I located the noise to be coming from the rear toe arm .. clonks and moves about but when I grab it, the noise goes... when tapping the bottom of the bush housing .. and I mean lightly tapping ... there's a loose sound . . Do we think this could be the culprit ? It's happening on both sides .. which would lead me to believe that's why it sways about on the rear... as it's the arm that you adjust during alignment etc. . So if it's moving freely it will be sending the geometry crazy during driving ?

I will take a set of facelift rings and some supra logo valve caps bud.. Pm me

OK guys so went to get the tracking done this morning and there wasn't anything wrong with the tracking etc.. the guy noticed a hush has gone on one of the rear drop links, surely this wouldn't alter the feel of the car that badly ?? What are the first things I should be checking ?? I need to replace the droplinks on the rear anyway so will get them ordered up now.

Sounds like a plan mate.. would help me out a treat ..never knew such equipment existed haha.. goes to show how much I know lol

Thanks guys ..your help is very appreciated ..How would you check for play or diagnose the arm and bearing being the culprit. ?

Thanks dude... will go and get it checked for alignment etc just incase. Then on Wednesday if you have time you can check it out if it's no better bud

Thanks for the informative reply again. I checked the tyre pressure as soon as it started doing it earlier.. it's fine in the dry(only moves about over bumps and potholes etc) .. but it's seriously undrivable in the wet .. the rear feels like.it has a mind if it's own even when driving in a straight line. scared the crap out of me on the way home until it got dry then it was fine.

I hope it's something as simple as a loose bolt or just might of been knocked out of alignment.. the road was piss poor lol had no alternative but to go down there. I will get it checked out tomorrow and see whats happening.. the rear wheels look very "stanced" as they say.. just got the Mrs to bob up and down on the rear boot and all I can hear is a few rubber bushes squeeking but nothing out of the ordinary. I suspect it's down to the camber. Didn't do it before I went down that road. The lack of feel and grip in the wet would also lead me to believe alot of the tyre isn't hitting the road or different portions of the rear wheels are tou ching leading to the swaying. I could be massively wrong though lol

I had it on a ramp last week and checked for play and there is a tiny bit of a noise when wheel is held at 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock. . We suspected wheel bearing but that surely wouldn't make the car that bad to drive in the wet vs dry !!

Hey guys.. a few weeks ago I went through some small back roads and to say they where a bit ropey would be an understatement.. Any way .. ever since I drove down those roads my car has a metallic clunk coming from the rear passenger side everyone I go over a substantial bump.. and when going over said bumps the car seems to want to twitch to a certain direction.. really does feel like it jumps to the left or right over any bump. Now driving home earlier today in the wet .. the car was almost undrivable... rear felt like it was swaying about all over the place and I felt like I was crabbing along at some points. When in the dry areas closer to home .. no crabbing or swaying (unless I go over bumps ) and it generally feels OK. Plenty of tread on tires. When looking at the rear of the car the 2 rear wheels seem very angled.. a bit like // \\ . I'm going to get the alignment looked at tomorrow and the tracking but what else could it be ? Haven't changed anything on the suspension or wheels. Lee

9.lee_e - S2000 stubby Can't copy and paste the list on my phone Sorry.

Stick me down for an S2000 one please bud.

Hey guys I'm looking to remove the throttle body on my vvti to clean it up to eliminate an issue I'm having. Is it just the 4 bolts square to each other ? Then remove the throttle cable from its holder and other sensor clips and ease it off ? Thanks in advance.
