  1. Your hopes have odd priorities? Drop the oil into a clean container and inspect it for metal fragments, if okay, you could then re-use it if you're tight.
  2. It's a full moon, which appears popular with driving gods, an MX5 exiting a roundabout has just done a 270 in front of my place in the centre of Town. This idiot was so confusticated, it took a 13 point turn to sort himself out whilst the traffic waited and backed up, we can only hope that his stupidity sank in?
  3. It is a "bearing fault" and the more that you play with it, the more faulty the fault will become.
  4. "Is it windy?" "I thought it was Thursday?" "Would you like a cup of tea?"
  5. For those who can read, Annabella's membership information and Supra details are conveniently and prominently displayed in the avatar, however, so that it doesn't come as a surprise, Annabella is a bloke.
  6. Now all you need is a donor Aristo?
  7. Aston Martin Meteorite Grey maybe? http://pictures.dealer.com/m/maseratiofbergencounty/1423/b5b3a5c62f1842b86b28e14d74414fddx.jpg Grigio Avlon. Lexus ? Grey.
  8. They're getting to be old girls now and most would benefit from an under-body makeover, it's good to see it get done.
  9. I thought the proper way to apply that stuff was to pre heat it to temporarily lower the viscosity and not to dilute it by 50% with oil and white spirit?
  10. Great reach and height, but not sure that 135 mm would fit under the front cross-member? which would defeat the whole exercise.
  11. Coloured hearing-aid brown with an incontinence-white leather-interior, is Dr Jekyll's inconspicuous 50 mpg boat, for trundling around after donor-components for Mr Hydes Supercharged Supra.
  12. Getting to the Supra front cross-member is the challenge and depending on how far it may have been lowered and/or which fibreglass tat has been glued on, some Supra's are more of a challenge than others, which is why I bought the lowest longest reaching model I could find. So far, I have only used it on my old dog Rover, next time I go to the lock up I will have a trial with my stock front Supra and confirm.
  13. I do my best, yet some are beyond help.
  14. I have pm'd the only prospective Hybrid coveting member at this time who might need one, but there will be another along soon enough.
  15. That box would be perfect as a donor for a Hybrid, I have linked it up in the transmission Group. http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/group.php?discussionid=86&pp=10&page=3&do=discuss
  16. N/A transmission here for £50. http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?332799-Auto-box-and-a-few-other-parts&p=4137678#post4137678
  17. Confusticatingly for some, I don't have a problem lifting heavy items, I could pick you up with one hand whilst you were carrying it and walk a dozen paces, which is about as far as I can walk myself without a stick. The reduction in jackthipperygarmi will outweigh it's weight ten fold.
  18. I looked at similar items, yet the lower entry with longer low reach and higher lift could not be resisted.
  19. I spend much of my weekends repairing 'improvements' to members Supra's and the no. 1. wind-up, is jacking the damn things up, which invariably takes more time and effort than the job in hand. It goes something like this; first use the OE jack to lift the car up a bit to get a little trolley jack under cross-member, then pump it up to max height, using a socket extension for the first half of lift because there's no room to swing the jack handle, then install axle-stands, then repeat at rear of car. This gives just enough room to wriggle under like a maggot and look at the problem. To then get under with room to work, entails using wooden blocks balanced on the trolley jack to lift it front and rear up to max height on axle stands. After the job is jobbed, then lower it back down with the above sequence in reverse order to find that the 10 minute job had wasted most of the day for 2 blokes. At the weekend I discovered that my trolley jack had been stolen, it was low enough to get under mine yet lacking in lift so have replaced it with an upgrade. It's a 45kg beast with a 3 tonne rating, I wasn't after such a monster but it cost less than it's lesser brethren and has a lower (70mm) entry and greater (508mm) lift, which will get under anything I need it to and raise it up to max axle-stand height in one lift. It's one of the best presents I have ever bought myself and rate it as a Supra owner's must have. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/141468358273
