  3. Sure, but think its due a new, larger battery to power the beast anyways. Cheers
  4. Found this one, Sounds like the one you mentioned. Will pick one up tonight. Do you think taking the battery out would reset my Electronic BC to factory settings? Thanks
  5. Supra not being used over the winter. Every weekend I start it up to warm it up and let it run for a bit. Been starting fine, however yestersday I went to start it and and i turned the key it sounded like it turned over twice but didnt fire up, then the dreaded battery flat clicks started. Jumped it and all was well, But why go flat? Imo the battery looks a bit weedy to start a 3L engine, I just hope replacing the battrey will not reset my boost controller settings, as I didnt set it up and was told not to fiddle with it! Would it be because its not moving, starting the engine drained the battery? All gizmos (boostcontroller, radio, led lights) appeared to be off in the cabin.
  6. Im 20 with 3 years NCD with a TT import with declared alloys and body kit at £2200 from adrian flux. Cheapest I could find and I look for a looooong time!
  7. When I got my car, I was told by the garage that if I were to put regular unleaded in it (95ron) would melt the engine as in japan the fuel grade is around 100ron, but if I were forced to just to try and stay below 3500 rpm. Im cool with that, but is it safer to be using vpower level fuel @ 99ron or is 97ron premium ok? Alex
  8. 2 shots and the truck explodes! Nice!
  9. Congrats mate, looks mint. Ive just recently got my Jspec TT, great feeling isnt it!

  12. Hi guys, Tomorow morning at around 5.30am will be setting out on my first cycling commute to work. Its 8 miles one way, fairly quite roads. Im really looking forward to it! Done a fair bit of cycling in parks ect, but not much on roads. Im prety road aware but any cyclists got any tips? Alex
  13. Shopping around on comparason sites, Im 20 an have 3 years driving and 3 years NCD im still getting £3200 quotes for TPTF! Will call up a few of the ones mentioned above. Cheers
  14. Thanks guys, Bit longer to wait then, cant wait till im 21, The drop in price from 20 - 21 is HUGE!
  15. When I was 19 Sky said they wont insure me on my Jspec TT6. Now im 20, wondering if anyone else was 20 and have insurance thru Sky. I will call them to find out but there office if closed now so was just thought ide throw it out there. Alex

  17. It the camera mans laugh that gets me!
  18. Thnks mate, got a little job for the weekend now
  19. Hi All, I've got these 2 rear stick on reflectors on the rear of the supra when I brought it. The car is white and without sounding to anal they kinda stick out. I've had a search around and found people stating law that you must have rear reflectors of sort. I would like to take them off, I'm going to check tonight if my rear lights are reflective, but was just wondering why I haven't seen many other jspec cars with similar reflectors? Is it just an MOT thing possibly? Thanks Alex
  20. CompTIA A+ and N+ are 2 of the best entry levels into IT imo. They teach the fundamentals alongside the stuff you need to know to do the job. They will get your foot in the door and make you look more respected to an employer however experience is the real key that employers look for, part time volunteering ect, something to show you can and do the job. Jobs like Helpdesk techie and IT Support are role these courses would put you in good light for. Ive done both of these courses via self study a few years back out of books and training vids i "acquired" from the internet. Also did 1 day a week voluntary work for an IT Dept at a school, and that helped greatly. I would say with self study and doing the course online you do some dedication as there still times now (im currently finishing 3rd exam of CCNP) when I get home from work and cant be arsed to do anything! After these certs/courses you could advance to CCNA (an advanced network certification from cisco) that could boost roles to network support and network engineer. But get some experience first. Good luck with ur choice and any questions feel free to fire at my inbox! Alex
