    Window Seals

    Maybe it was done by a machine?

    Window Seals

    Think you are right looking at the EPC, below for the front windscreen.

    Every accident is a huge dent in the teams budget, especially for Red Bull. It's also cost them an engine for Perez too.

    It was a great albeit slightly odd one! Ocon drove fantastically but he completely owes the win to Alonso, if he had released Hamilton 2 laps earlier he would have breezed past Vettel and Ocon on fresher, better tyres. He took 5 seconds out of Vettel on the last lap alone! Highlight for me though as above is George getting into the points, even willing to throw it all away to get Latiffi on the podium or further up the field. With the field tightening up, playing the team game is going to be increasingly needed for the constructors championship. My honest opinion now is that Bottas is done at Mercedes, I'd be highly surprised if we don't see George in his seat next year and Bottas to Williams.
  5. Much obliged Every days a school day.
  6. Is that due to lack of use or old fluid?
  7. This. If it hasn't been changed recently, I would suspect a seal has gone and is letting air in somewhere.
  8. Reservoir Cap knackered? Air in system causing it to over pressurise? Is it doing it without even moving the wheel? As in a minute after you have turned the car on it is leaking?
  9. It says in their T's and C's that they have to wait to get your money back from the insurer before they can send it on to you as they are just the broker.
  10. The supra registry is not 100% accurate however it is a good indicator.
  11. For the uninitiated it would nice if once of the Crypto boffins could do a dictionary or Crypto terms. Because I literally don't have a clue what any of that means. I thought at one point you were throwing deceased felines off of a roof in an experiment

    I'd love to have a hoon around in one of these V12 bad boys https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202101208180124
  13. If you don't mind me asking, what value did you ask for?
  14. Series 2 and Facelift are the same thing just called something different here in the UK. The were sold in a variety or trim levels though not just VVTI manuals, all Series 2 cars were imports here in the UK as well, no domestic sales.
  15. We haven't gone that crazy on prices just yet! I don't think there is much of a difference in price here unless you have super low miles or a very late model (2000-2002).
  16. Holy moley batman! £80 is pure madness for a set of wiper blades. I am not tight but I wouldn't spend more than a £10 for a set of blades and most of the time less. I have never seen any difference between an expensive or cheap wiper blade which is just a thin strip of rubber at the end of the day, regardless of how much techno jumble they throw at you. To really give yourself superior wiping ability, use car glass polish or water beading spray like rainex, this is a far better use of your money and will yield better results. I do this on the supra and on my daily where I do 10k+ miles a year, never had a problem in any kind of rain, clearing dirt off the windscreen or the blade not making full contact with the screen.
  17. I have tidied the thread up at the OP's request. As this is a for sale thread can you please only comment if you intend to buy the product for sale. Keep all other conversations separate please.
  18. Not many daily drivers left these days! Thanks for sharing and welcome to the club. Start a new member thread and put some pictures up
  19. Coming along nicely now, do you a completion date in mind?
  20. That's todays standards though not those of the early 90's, if this is an OEM replacement I would assume it would only need to conform to the period tests? Cars today are made in a way that they protect pedestrians in the event of a low speed impact, this is the reason why most modern cars that are in such an impact, have to replace parts that are designed to crumple and absorb impact. I can assure you that isn't the case for the supra, some muppet in a car park reversed into my car and his brand new Corsa's bumper crumpled and was scrap whilst the Supra's bumper had not even a scratch to speak of. Given some of impacts I have seen, the Supra is built like a tank and fairs pretty well in some scary accidents. Another reason why most car designs today are boring compared to historic cars who could pretty much design what they wanted! Pedestrian safety, what's that? I always think of the Aston Martin Lagonda 4 door when this topic comes up, imagine being hit by the below at any speed. I am not disagreeing that given the nature of the item in question, that either some testing is required or as many have said that this designated as for show/off road use only and that is not designed to be used on the road to protect against legal proceedings.
  21. Oh, someone was telling me that you're an early riser, was that not what they meant?
  22. Where else has a registration plate that is numbers only? I am trying to locate where a supra might have been shipped off to but I can 100% confirm it is definitely isn't Guernsey through multiple sources. The registration is 61791 and I know the car is now in Malaysia. It looks like UAE countries and Bahrain have numbers only, just wondering if anyone knows of any others.
  23. Pretty sure Esso supply all Tesco's fuel so it is just Tesco Momentum
  24. Contrary to popular belief I do actually try to come to things but they always fall when I am already doing something! And yes that will have been the last time I think!
