  1. Hay... I was told to park there as there was no were else despite the fact of Jap fest organisers knowing the amount of supras turing up:) I think we would get enough people for a stand...
  2. Well with Japfest falling on dragball, its I believe that we wont have a stand. The time has already been booked off work and the GF really enjoyed it... So I was wondering if anyone else is going and if so will you be on a stand? Paul
  3. YEr 19's are the only wheels I have. Put I like to see what I would get on the street using the wheels I have so that's why I haven't opt into drag wheels etc. Cheers Matt I was looking at that sight last night. Great prices. Using homers tool shows that the 19" set up I have is near on the same as stock lol This is also a helpful tool that I always use to check size and profile difference: http://www.kouki.co.uk/utilities/visual-tyre-size-calculator I think Im pretty set on Continental ContiSportContact 5... These are getting top tyre..
  4. Ok its coming up for me to get 2 new rear tyres. I currently run Cooper Zeon 2XS Fronts: 225/35/19 Wheel is 8J Rears: 265/30/19 Wheel is 9.5J http://www.tyrereviews.co.uk/Tyre/Cooper/Zeon-2XS.htm (Pretty low ratings) Having these sizes keeps the tyres looking an even and matching depth front and rear. I went for the zeon 2XS tyres due to the financial status at that time. Now... with them being 19" and a profile of an elastic bands with a just above budget tyre it causes pretty shody starts (as some of you saw at the pod) So I have a few options in mind. To go wider wouold be a good start but to keep the tyre depths the same with 225/35 on the front it would meant to for all the way to 315/25 and go with Continental ContiSportContact 3 . But would this fit OK on my Supra? Or stick with the 265/30's (which are a great fit for my car) and go for a much better tyre. I have been looking at the Vredestein Ultrac Vorti - £148 each http://www.tyrereviews.co.uk/Tyre/Vredestein/Ultrac-Vorti.htm and Michelin Pilot Super Sport - £185.50 http://www.tyrereviews.co.uk/Tyre/Michelin/Pilot-Super-Sport.htm Even though the Michelin Pilot Super Sport is a more expensive and well known tyre the Vredestein Ultrac Vort generally is a better all rounder. What are your thoughts and opinions? *Added some colours and underlining ect to make the subject a little less of a bore * EDIT: Just reading how good the Continental ContiSportContact 5 are
  5. All the logos are facing out by the looks of things in the pic.. Its not double sides logos is it?
  6. http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?318706-blitz-icolor-boost-controller Ash's post, really is a good controller
  7. I had the blitz colour screen one and I was happy with that.. Was this one http://www.garagewhifbitz.co.uk/blitz-2094.html
  8. Mine was a 6 speed I may add.. But still with the hassell I had personally I still wouldn't recommend..
  9. I have Brembo's there a good brake. But If you want to go cheaper K-Sports I hear a re good.
  10. NEVER GO COMPETITION CLUTCH Paul whifin stopped sellin them due to issues. I went though 3 in a year and got a refund eventually.. ON BPU!!!! There stiff as hell too! I had lower back pain on one of my sides to 2 days from pushing so hard on that crap clutch!!! Edit: After my 1st issues http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?267508-Need-Advice-On-What-Clutch-Pulling-My-Hair-Out-A-Little When enough was enough and before my refund http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?271986-Possible-Legal-Advice-Against-Clutch-Company Took me a little while to go though my posts to share this so the so another member doesn't have to go through the crap I did. And there was a number of members PM'ing me with the same issues I have had no issue at all with mt RPS triple plate since 2012 with zero slipping on 680BHP.. Expensive yes.. Amazing also with stock feel...
  11. On of those bud http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Cork-Decorating-Hand-Sanding-Block-Fit-for-the-Job-110mm-x-60mm-x-30mm-/231355034436?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item35ddd5ab44 1st time I did it I just gave it a go. Worst thing that can happen is you need to pay some one to refurb your wheel anyway lol Wheel has to come off though
  12. I used a very coarse sand paper with a cork block and a few hours of elbow grease... Then to get rid of the sand paper marks start with 240 grit wet and dry then 800, 1500, 2500 then meguiar's metal polish. I usually use 400 grit also but I had run out.
  13. Well managed to curb my wheel again (becoming a yearly thing now lol) So with all the previous practice thought I'd show you how I got on. Total amount of time was about 4 hrs. All done by hand. These were massive marks.. The damage: Thats the hard part done with the dents and scratches removed as best as I could. And the Finshed product. It will take a few washes and polish's before it comes out really good again. Thanks for looking Paul
  14. I have trial rear on mine and was a ok fit..
  15. Hells yer Thanks peps. Still a few more things to do and actually the next thing to do is a plenum intake
  16. Well its been absolutely weeks since I washed the car with being busy over xmas and the crazy cold temps. So today being a little warmer I took full advantage of my lieu day Sorry if some pics aren't 100%. My hands aren't the most steady today Didn't give the engine bay a polish just a clean over..
  17. Yep im a 31 on my PS4 And I love it!! Just started working on my Crota raid gear If you play this game alone.. You may hate it. Its such a co-op based game. I'm involved with a team (about 20 of us) mostly Americans and UK guys. A few of which were physical friends but I have met some great people from the game and made friends... great thing is its age of 25 and over so no kids.. We play most days and its ESSENTIAL you play with friends. This game is pretty damn big. Being part of a team means you will find enough people for the raid, nightfall and other missions etc... And we have a few guys in the team that read up on destiny regularly, watch vids on youtube etc etc meaning that were clued up. Even when we not all playing in a raid (so its just 3 of us in the fire team) we have a large party chat on the go so we can all talk, and not always about destiny. This is a great game (not perfect) but great. I generally buy most games on release and this is one of my favs this year. Shame you not on PS4 as im sure we would welcome you into the team and the game will peiece together and you will see what this game is about.. I truly believe its friends that make this game such an important balance.. I still have horizan to finish, need to play the crew and I'm getting another 5 games for xmas... But destiny will come 1st..
  18. I had this EXACT problem on a week or 2 ago. Tried a 2nd hand module and it didnt work at all so plugged the old module back in a 2 days later. BAM it worked again still works fine..
  19. Its even the colour I want one in Absolutely lovely car mate
  20. Its gone again today so i bought that module from ebay
  21. Thanks bud I have started to watch the item and the central locking is now sorted. Will keep my eye on it
