  1. How much do you think you'd you want for them?
  2. Do you have the plastic sill trims? And/or hockey sticks?
  3. Is the Throttle body & manifold still kicking about?
  4. Andy, this is a gem of a bit of work, thanks for this (+ a bump to make it easier to find)
  5. Chris, you need to start a tab at your local for all the pints I owe you. One day I'll even up. Thank you!
  6. Hi Chaps, Suffering from a very rough idle on a pre-facelift GE and one possible culprit might be the temp sensors. Only problem is I've no clue what appropriate vals for them might be. Could anyone help with test values at all? Cheers in advance!
  7. THAT info's golden, mate! - - - Updated - - - How do you mean, Captain?
  8. Anyone know whether or not the HT Leads, Alternator and Crank Position Sensor are compatible between the 2JZGE and GTE? Many thanks!
  9. The trade price isn't cost, it's just not retail mark-up.
  10. Hi Mate, Can't give you much help on the problem, but you might find more people to help if you put the actual problem you're trying to solve in the title. Best of Luck!
  11. Not on a Mark IV, but that was how I dealt with it on my last MkIII. It's an option, but given the choice I'd take a lower ratio rack.
  12. It's just taste, innit? I think it's a great all rounder but that the easy mid-town and stable high-speed gearing just mean I tend to have a to flail a little on the twisties and that it doesn't argue as much as it might.
  13. Don't worry, I'm just being needlessly and exaggeratedly derogatory. Ignore it. The 911 has, to me the same issue as the Supra: dead around the straight ahead and not overly direct. I think the feel on the Supra, especially isn't bad, but I think it need a higher ratio -- it's a bit too light and a bit too vague, ideally a quick rack might sort both out somewhat -- if one were available.
  14. Popular opinion would argue that a steer-from-rear fork lift has better steering than the 911, but I wouldn't mind it being a fraction more pointy...
  15. **NECROMANCER** This is just a great question... Any answers?
  16. Yeah, I'm tempted to point out that you've found a brilliance un-discovered by the the most objective of reviewers. I didn'tsay MS's practiceswere toxic, only their brand and I was quite clear that that toxicity only extended as far as the developer base, but that that would be enough to bury them, because developers' apps are the mainstay of the smartphone landscape. Unless MS embraces open standards, WP7 will die, only marketshare forced us to pour hours into IE hoop jumping, coming from behind, MS's intransigence will simply make it more frustrating to deliver content to. Furthermore, I struggle to see how MS will overtake RIM, they have something MS will.never be able to emulate: a genuine B2B appeal and a mass market perception of security. Even without its chequered past, MS would BT cursed by own.goals like Yahoo mail's 700% data usage.
  17. I'd have the McLaren, I reckon. Partly, because it's a company I'd actually want to support, partly because it's the right blend of subtle and special. but if it weren't there, I'd have taken the Noble without a doubt.
  18. Is that a fair comparison? I paid £150, I think + £40 per month for my G1 and it was the only device on the market other than the original iPhone (same price) for about 6-12 months, from memory. WP7 was released across 4 or 5 handsets into a well developed market with a far lower premium. The fact is Scott M is completely right: WP7 is floundering, flailing and will drown. It's fighting too many battles on too many fronts - it's battling a lack of software, a poor market image, mediocre hardware and their everlasting standards compliance aversion. The fact is Microsoft WP7 is the worst of the three, but that's not its biggest problem, the MS brand is toxic, not to consumers who're basically positive to indifferent, but to developers who don't trust them and have no faith in them to make headway, so won't invest their time creating software. I know I wont.
  19. For the record, cornering wear should rub off the outside of the tyre. If you're doing a great deal of cornering and your insides are still bearing the brunt of the damage, your camber is far too high. Driving in a straight line on cambered tyres wears the inner edge, cornering on zero-cambered tyres will wear the out edges. The camber is used so that the tyre sits flat (with a little conicalisation) in the twisties. Possibly the suspension is too soft and is picking up too much extra camber once loaded?
