  1. Hi I am currently redoing my car after a accident, and I need a bonnet. I live in the Faroe Islands, so shipping will be almost like sending to Denmark since Faroe Islands is a part of Denmark. If anyone has a bonnet, than I am very interested in buying it. But I only want Fibreglass or stock bonnet. I don't want a carbon bonnet. Regards Ragnar
  2. Hi I really need help, my Supra is still broken. The problem is that all the metal behind the front bumper is all twisted in and I need to replace it. I have gotten a good price on a new front bumper, but I talked to a guy here who knows his stuff, and he said that I needed to buy a new front end, I mean the metal that is inside the bumper. My question, is this possible? and if possible can you order it from a Toyota dealership or is there someone on here who could get a hold of it? Also I was wondering if I maybe could get a used one of a old Supra.
  3. I will not go through the insurance company as I have not insured it against this kinda crash. I had it only insured so that my insurance pays for fixing the other persons car. I think the chassis leg is bent. is that the small one in the middle that also holds the headlights? if so it is bent. Could I not just weld a new one on?
  4. I was driving along traffic in mid day and all of a sudden a sheep comes on the road and the car in front of me stopped really fast. and I put my foot on the brake as hard as I could, but it was not enough and I hit in the back of the other car. The other car got almost no damage, but mine got some damage partly because of the fact that my bumper is of fibreglass. This was my fault since I have to keep a safe distance to the car in front of me in case something like this happens. I have some pictures here, will get more tomorrow. Was wondering what you guys think of the damage and how much work needs doing. I have already talked to both Keron and MVP Motorsports. I am thinking of buying a TRD replica kit from MVP as I love the TRD kit and now I have a excuse to fit one on the car, lol. Pictures here: (Sorry they are so large, I do not know how to make them smaller. Not that good with computers) http://yfrog.com/2mp8310166j
  5. Thank you very much for the fast answer. Much appreciated.
  6. My car failed the MOT on indicators flashing too fast. And all the indicator lights are working. So I believe it is the indicator relay that is faulty. Does anyone know where it is? I have looked under the dashboard and I have found a lot things. But I have no diagram so I have no idea where the indicator relay is located. Any help would be much appreciated.
  7. Fedor made a rookie mistake jumping in the guard of a two time BJJ champion like Werdum. Had Fedor been a bitch like Anderson Silva he would have stayed up all match. Though gotta hand it to Werdum he did really well. Not fun having Fedor coming at you like that. But remember Ali had losses and so did Tyson, so Fedor got a loss big deal. At least it was against someone like Werdum who is a two time world BJJ champion. Fedor will come back strong from this. I have to be honest I have almost never felt such disappointment before, very sad that Fedor lost this fight. But have to give Werdum respect, showed some great skill and proved he is a top guy in the MMA world. Fight is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5wa4v17WI_A
  8. I agree, but I actually thought that Pudz would win this fight. But as you say, he had nothing. And in my opinion he has the wrong gameplan, he needs to go all out in the first round, and try and hurt these guys, and not push them to the cage all the time. he does not have the stamina to hang around with these top guys. I suspect he will never have the stamina, he has too much muscle really. But than again you never know with Pudz, he goes all in when he does something so I will not rule anything out. all in all It was a very disappointing fight in my opinion.
  9. Mariusz has fought Kawaguchi and it had to go to a decision. which is kinda disappointing, as I was expecting a better fight from Mariusz. But that being said, he is new to the game and will need time to adjust. and Kawaguchi is no amateur considering he had a record of 11-wins and only 1 lost. so Mariusz did a good job to beat a fighter like that. Video is here: Part 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F1SHZAbEWFQ Part 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b1HMErgey9c Now it is Tim Sylvia on the 21st of may, which is this weekend, I am really looking forward to that.
  10. Hey man, really glad you joined up. And I gotta agree with you on the search button. overrated to say the least
  11. Sorry to revive this thread, but I thought considering all the new news about Mariusz, it was worth updating. First he will be fighting some Japanese fighter called Yusuke Kawaguchi on May the 7th. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jOjzRmTLECU And on May 21th he will be fighting former UFC Champion in Tim Sylvia, should be a good test for Mariusz considering Tim's experience. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1grxLnV2oNQ As has been mentioned before in this thread, I think Mariusz has a chance against almost any fighter considering mariusz incredible strength. he really is leaps and bounds over any other fighter when it comes to strength. I for one am really looking forward to these matches.
  12. This is supposed to be a horror movie, and fails big time. worst video I have ever seen.
  13. Ja, I won a 46inch Samsung TV when I won the Faroese PES6 championship.
  14. In the Faroe Islands, Where I live there is only one Supra and that is mine. Gets a lot of attention, you could say it is the same as having a Lambo here really.
  15. Ray Comfort tries to explain why god is the creator of all....... his best example the banana. updated link with no commentary, video is 1 min long.
  16. Thank you, I hope to come to some of the meets you guys have, when I get my license back. And yes in my opinion all racing should be done in tracks or private areas with correct safety. I think most people agree with this, even those that don't follow this rule.
  17. Sorry to bring this back up. But I have an update. I just got a letter from the police today about the charges I will be facing, they are charging me with 12 charges. I have to say, they are very slow in the faroes with these things, this happened 2 years ago, and first now it is going its course. pathetic. I will most likely get a massive fine and lose my license for about 2 years. They say that they have a 18meter long slide against the curb, and are claiming that I drove 130km which is about 80miles an hour. the reality is that I have no idea what speed I was driving at. (the legal speed where this happened was 50km which is 30miles). I have decided to take whatever punishment they see fit. I will be talking to lawyer the state has giving me, and if all the charges are what happened, I will not be defending myself. If there are any bogus charges I will defend myself against those. I guess my hunt for a new Supra is off for now, but I will buy a new one, when I get my license back.
  18. I have a update on this. I have talked with my buyer and he will look at my car tomorrow or Sunday. Hopefully I will be able to buy this before Monday. fingers crossed.
  19. I am very interested in this. I will call you tomorrow. I have a buyer for my Supra, the bid is just much lower then what I want for the car, but I am willing to sell my Supra under market price to buy yours. I live overseas, hope that won't be a problem for you, I have done it all before with my current Supra. Your car looks fantastic.
  20. Well I have owned a Integra DC2 so I know how it drives, and I own a Toyota Supra N/A at the moment. Well if you know to drive a DC2 you will beat a N/A thats for sure. and going downhill a DC2 will win every time. In my experience, in a straight road, it would be a very close call with the N/A getting a lead at the end. Going uphill the N/A would win everytime, DC2 lacks power going uphill, because of the low torgue, but they make up for it, by being at high RPM all the time. but still the N/A would win going uphill. I myself am against street racing, but I still find post like these interesting, just because I highly disagree with racing on public roads. does not mean I will judge other people who like it, I loved racing before my accident, and maybe you will change your ways after a accident of your own. I think mr.nevins was in his right to point out the safety issues. His son may be driving around sensible and getting hit by a street racer, so looking at it that way it I will agree with Nevins. But at the same time I see where you are coming from, and I understand that. And I like reading post like these where the author has a point to make, so I think it is wrong to keep telling him it is wrong, because he knows it is wrong, he does not need any of us to tell him this, but rather he wants an opinion about subject on hand. But I will say this, I am glad so many people on this forum take street racing seriously. it is a big problem and it is needs to stop or we will see more lives lost. I hope I got my point across.
  21. Yeah I am buying. Been a huge Final Fantasy fan almost all my life. Truly great games, Final Fantasy 5 and 9 have special places in my heart, though I love all of them, 7 was great aswell as was 8.
  22. Welcome Very nice Porsche you have. looks fantastic. Looking forward to seeing what Supra you find, what color are you planning with the Supra, if I may ask.
  23. This guy claims he has never been defeated. He offers anyone that can beat him 5000dollers. This old moron gets his ass beaten, what a pathetic scammer. worst fighter I have ever seen, he must think he is inside the Dragon Ball universe or something.
  24. Sounds awesome, really does. I hope you guys make that 800 mark. I really regret not buying this now, oh well at least it is in great hands.
