I'm still here . I've had messages as well. I think the club is effectively two tier, friends and family fraternity and hundreds of others. I've never descended into the lets get personal to or about anyone, just not my style. It's all too immature if I'm honest. Clique wars is a dubious way to behave on a forum as all it does is put others off when there is an excitable pack only too happy to jump all over threads and head way off topic. Not sure what a busy events organiser has to to with raising web site development and maintenance and it does seems you aren't either. Its proving to be another popular thread, so yet another topical and very valuable contribution.

I feel there is a little clique hovering. But, at least its very encouraging to find out that something is going on behind the scenes, on a need to know basis. Out of interest, what percentage of members actually attend your friends and family events, seems to be largely the same members year after year? Are you sure you are actually catering to the wider membership? I'm membership #24,421 so I'm not certain that the socials is a prime means to fully engage with the wider membership. Maybe if you were more involved with the web forum you'd see that there are certain members who jump in to help others with loaned parts, links and opinions. Often, that's way more useful to a Supra owner than a back slapping behind closed doors bevvy with your mates.

You are so far off topic I really cannot be bothered. If you can come up with some ideas on how to move the web forum along from 2012 which is when the housekeeping appears to have ended feel free to share those ideas. Two syllables at a time will be fine. Then maybe Pete as one of two regularly active mods can consider taking them to where they need to go, along with some of my own reasonably detailed strategic placement suggestions that he has. Your come across as resistance to change, lack of change will kill off a forum that is clearly in rapid decline. Maybe as a former Supra owner that's not to much of an issue for you?

When I changed out my spark plugs last week half the 'number 7' cable clamps that hold the coil loom wires to the coil pack support cradle broke their post catches due to age related brittleness. I have ordered replacement clamps and a few spares so if anyone needs the odd one then feel free to ask. They wont be with me until March 2018 though.

You should have sat back some more.

You should read up this, it was a hoot with all sorts of banter around hearsay versus actual data on brakes. You will hear one thing, data says something else. For track use you definitely need to go big or ceramic discs in order to dissipate or counter the heat generated. Understanding big non OE brakes

I found when you do a project thread its like baring your soul, open to ridicule or encouragement or disinterest and you have to be prepared for it all. Baring your soul does leave a bit of you behind for the future when people will be heading down the same path and they might hit on your word through a article search. My project was on refurbishment and as these cars get older big turbo builds are going to give way to thread on just keeping the cars roadworthy. I can't say I enjoyed doing the whole write up and picture size manipulation bit but I felt it could be informative and maybe even educational for others and that was motivation enough. This forum is to often a clique though, I've seen the pack approach, against myself as well as against many others where the hyenas circle, giggle a lot together and howl a bit. That's probably a maturity thing at play though, or lack thereof. I don't see forums are about finding lifelong mates or organising socials for the vast majority of members and those who do participate in these events often lose sight of that. I'm more than happy for the social side to disappear off to FB or whatsapp which is what those formats were designed for. If you want to see a really busy forum go check out the USA based but global appeal MG forum. That forum look like shit but is rocking and they haven't been making proper MGs for near 40 years. There are no Las Vegas meets or anything like that its just people enjoying their car or asking for support. It must be because MG owners are all to old to have ever managed to grasp a smart phone, except for me of course.

If money is an issue then I'm sure lifetime membership could be replaced by a loyal member reduced subscription. My feeling is the lack of activity isn't going to get new potential members excited. Having stickies from almost a decade ago offering up good latest 2010 iphone or android apps just looks, well really. It just looks like there is no housekeeping and that suggests no active moderators and admin and if neither mods or admin is active then it really is a sign things have moved on, maybe elsewhere but not here. The lack of new sponsors isn't as worrying as the old ones that don't bother any more which isn't as worrying as the old ones that don't bother anymore being still here in the traders section as expired membership. Expired traders were today JM and Opie, but seems like JM have fallen today. Hopefully we can get a new dynamic set of mods up and running who can lead the forum forward. I think there is a great revenue potential in this site just charging visitors for access to the technical documents. Translate those into however many languages and let people buy them. I'd happily pay for how to docs, I buy workshop and Haynes manuals after all so why not? You can tell from the number of hits some threads get the site has a lot of lurkers. 20,000 for Bitcoin in 3 months, the most popular thread on the Supra forum by far. Got to love it, next week how to make a lemon sponge.

Can you PM me your number again as I changed phones. I think they are on whatsapp so I'll see if you can touch base that way.

One of my mates (former employees) is a driving instructor and another (former employee also) is a driving instructor turned examiner, I can have a word with one or both for you if you want and see if he/they would be happy for you to have a chat with him/them.

Thx - PM sent - let me know if it didn't come over as having BB issues today and had to reload browser screen.

Toyota dealer was no fukkin help with this. Anyone?

Arrived today and looks good enough to me, its the rear Corolla badge! For those wondering at the picture, its not fitted, just sitting on top of the currently fitted badge.

Anyone have a part number or know of where the routing clamps that carry the ignition cable along the top of the engine to the coil pack connectors can be purchased? Changing my plugs found a couple have gone brittle/disintegrated.

I have a spare set of injectors I was thinking of getting new seals and flow checked then swapping with those in the car at the moment so thought it could be an interesting read if it covered injector swap out.

Link no longer works, rather links no longer work.

We all see that the interactive footfall on the forum has declined to a trickle in spite of Mk4 ownership never being higher in the UK. The site does have a distinctly dated feel and showing a lack of maintenance which might not be attracting new participants. There are group buy stickies from years ago and trader sections from 'membership expired' traders and in this section we have the essential 'recommend me android apps' from 2010. I have no idea if anyone is tasked with site development and maintenance but it has the feel of terminal decline about it. There was talk of new blood and revamp last year but there is no apparent sign of it. I do hope the site does remain open and available for an archive reference of technical information if nothing else but it could just become a zombie site with cobwebs clearly on show until it finally becomes phone browser incompatible.
