  1. Go back and make sure my Nan chose the Jaguar E-type S1 over the MGB GT that I now own!!
  2. Nice tidy kit! I'd recommend it to people if only the seller wasn't such a massive bender...!
  3. Did you get the message to say I'd made a mistake and it's in November not December bud?
  4. From post 1; " The show is at the NEC in Birmingham. The car needs to be in place from the afternoon of Thursday 12th November to Sunday 15th November in the evening. You could potentially drop the car off on thursday eve and only show up yourself on saturday, as we understand it's short notice to get friday off of work." Just to clarify, you can't move the car from thursday afternoon to sunday eve.
  5. Love that, defo an N/A? More pics please? Any paint defects? Do you/could you detail under the bonnet? Needs to be up for the whole show so needs to be tidy! Original colour?
  6. Dear All, As some of you are already aware, we have 4 cars attending the Lancaster Insurance Classic Car show this year at the NEC. It was supposed to be 5, but we have had a car drop out. Unfortunatley, this car was the one N/A supra we had on the stand. Really we would like another N/A to fill the space. The plan was to park it next to Josh's N/A-T, bonnets up, to highlight the differences between stock and a well executed conversion. Requirements below(no exceptions I'm fussy!); -Original Non Turbo specification -Stock bodied car. (Wheels,exhaust, lip spoiler or oem skirts/spats are allowed) -Not Black or Red. -Clean, tidy example with a nice clean bay for showing off and good paint. -Auto or manual, can be an aero. In addition to this, the owner must be a friendly chap or chappette, who is willing to chat away to the public and help promote the club and car in good light. Ask Ian Ian, Jake, Lewis, Branners, Ibrar, Darren or myself if you want more info. Everyone who came last year had a top time, and with Jake stepping out we have big shoes to fill! The show is at the NEC in Birmingham. The car needs to be in place from the afternoon of Thursday 12th november to Sunday 15th november in the evening. You could potentially drop the car off on thursday eve and only show up yourself on saturday, as we understand it's short notice to get friday off of work. There is also a hotel room already booked for the event, which if we get a replacement quickly, we can switch into your name. This really is a classy event, and a chance to get your car into the hall at one of the biggest car shows in the world, let alone the UK!^ Don't miss out! Some pics of last year are attached to entice you!
  7. You're doing excellent work sir! Nice to see someone attempting to build a drift car that isn't a scruffy piece of shit, like they normally are!
  8. Dash dodger or through dash? Unless it's just a rear hoop? Does it have the rear legs to go with it?
  9. I think it's better. Log on and pay, takes 5 minutes. Traffic is much improved there these days as people are stopping to use the tolls.
  10. Ahhh I know Chris Ward, bumped into him the other week in a restaurant in Spa. Lovely bloke and a seriously good shoe! He passed my on my ARDS test at silverstone, driving a lotus exige in the snow at 14 years old. Good times! At the time I remember thinking, "This bloke's got some bollocks sitting next to a kid in these conditions", I didn't know who he was then!
  11. Have you been beaten by ANOTHER stock TT? Bout time you let Chris take over in the hot seat John?
  12. How can you have a 225 tyre on the rear rim with an 11j wheel? Sounds far, far too narrow to me.
  13. I have no TC, but I do have another switch for boost settings. I've found I haven't once used the middle boost settings, just a 1.0 bar (low) setting for when my Dad drove it for the first time, and a 1.7bar(max boost) setting. I'd only bother with one launch map, to give max traction and boost off the line. From my experience, and what I'll be changing to, the below I believe are more useful; -Anti Theft -Lean map for cruising(Doubles up as MoT map but no rev limit for normal off boost motorway type driving) -Valet Mode 4k rpm limit Obviously up to you, but I have found the above more useful.
  14. Is it a competition paddle clutch? It won't get better, sorry! Horrible engagement from stopped and harsh engagement when shifting. Just an appauling, track only affair really! Sorry. Other than that, sounds like you're enjoying the power
  15. Damn! Glad Annette is ok! Guessing some vulture has already called dibs on potentially buying the wreck from you?
  16. Love it. Really like the wheels as well..!
