This was in my setup before I went to a six-farad beast! Its in pretty good used condition (though note there are a couple of marks on the front which come up in the photos), and it has a built in voltmeter. Its ready to go - just needs charging with a resistor (if you are not sure what you are doing get someone who does as I cannot be held responsible for any mishaps Asking 20 pounds including UK postage. Thanks

I have a set of new Sparco pedal covers, again without a Supra to go on. They are missing the fixing hardware from the box, but it would be a piece of cake to get hold of these. Asking 15 pounds including postage. PM if interested Thanks

Definitely sold phew that was quick!I bought this with the plan of fitting it to my car etc etc. The car has long gone, and this has been sitting in the box unused. It has everything as in the photo - just needs a bracket to fix somewhere in the engine bay. Asking 45 pounds incl postage. Please PM if interested. Thanks for looking.

lol.... well worn pads would use more fluid from the reservoir, which of course is very sensitive to being on the low side - I ended up calling CW as I couldnt get it to go off and he put me right. I would get new pads on order, but top up on fluid for now

I totally agree with that, I would get brakes and sort the interior before I did anything on the outside.

lol.... dont worry.. your expenditure will expand to take account of all your income. We all live 10% above our means. As for Harvard, nice work. Maybe I should get my flat off an interest only mortgage!

Yeah that would be good.. I already wasted a day trying to dye a carpet black and it now looks cack already and its only been in there a few months.

hmmm where do you get the dye from, I need to do this in the beemer...

Indeedy re: cars sitting a while. I was driving up the M40 shortly after getting mine, when the rear left tyre promptly exploded, no big drama, and no harm done as I just pulled over. It had given out where the car had been standing for ages. The tyres were 3 years old when I had them replaced.

You had just crossed the bridge over the M4 coming into Liddington. I was going t'other way in an instantly forgettable blue fiesta.

I had FK451's on the rear on mine, and I was well impressed, better than the F1 GSD3's before, certainly in terms of wear, best thing was they were on sale and only cost 62 quid each delivered inc VAT from mytyres.co.uk (and they werent out of date like some of the other retailers allege) I have a pair of FK452's to go on the BMW when the current set are gone, so I wont know until then.

If I was going to use and 17"s I would use the stock TT wheels. These clear the UK brakes. As for UK brakes... budget on about a grand... You can try a breakers for the brakes but they are quite rare. Alternatively I would try either http://www.toyotaworld.com or import pimp (nic) on here. You will also need some discs, stock are best. As for pads, well Chris wilson does a nice set of fast road pads, which worked very well on mine. Finally if you are going to take the brakes off, put goodridge lines on and get decent fluid (motul or castrol chris wilson has these too AFAIK) budget on spending about a grand excluding labour, though its not too hard a DIY job which could be done in about 4 hours but dont muck about with safety critical things if you arent sure what you are doing.# *edit* did i get my breaks and brakes right martin?*

oh yeah the codes repeat dont they?

guess what... my PC is hard wired (the benefits of currently tearing my flat apart and pimping it wiht all sorts of AV goodies)! unfortunately the missus and my laptops arent:eyebrows:

actually yeah thats more like it.. I had to go and secure my mum's not that anyone near her house would use it. I did check the logs and the MAC addresses all checked out with our equipment.

sound advice there about limiting the MAC addresses to the ones you use, then you know that you wont get someone else using it. My cousin reckons that some guy in california actually got arrrested for theft for using someones wireless without their permission. I have wifi on my PDA phone.. if you drive along with it it will tell you all the wireless networks as you go along and I am amazed by the number that are unsecured, are these people mad - I mean you could use someone elses IP for posting defamatory or worse stuff on the internet, and I guess the IP owner would be liable.

I was about to start ranting when I began reading this thread, but most of the points have been said here already and I am pleased to see that quite a few people see the bigger picture. As for going to A&E 6 times before getting diagnosed, yes that's crap - anyone who returns with the same problem should be seen by a registrar or above and sorted or further investigated. One cha I remember came ack three times in a week, on the fourth attendance he got a CT brain and had a tennis ball sized tumour in his frontal lobe. I have worked in A&E and its pretty worrying as you see people who firstly should go to their GP but cant be arsed to get an appointment because its inconvenient or there is a wait, or there are those who come because they are seen by a doctor from a medical outsourcing company because their own GP has just had a large pay rise and managed to get themselves out of having to provide out of hours cover. So more pressure on A&E. As for managers - now consultants have to ask a manager if they can operate on someone they dont control their own operating lists, it is done by managers - people wait longer for an operation listed as urgent because they are not needing the operation that is currently flavour of the month in the department of health. When doctors get it wrong consider this - imagine running your car without servicing it - it would be okay for a while but then start to show real problems, just like in the NHS. Years of underinvestment are now starting to improve but it costs a lot more now than in 1980 when these things should have been done hence the apparent huge investment going nowhere. Some hospitals are now nice new PFI buildings - when I was in London, one of such buildings was right next to the hospital it was due to replace. Several building workers came through with injuries saying that they had never seen such a cheaply made poor quality building in their lives and that it would be falling apart in 15 years. The trust in question will inherit the building and be liable for its upkeep from 18 years' time.... As for cock ups, they do happen, and I hate to say it but often they come down to money. A CT abdomen would have diagnosed Crohn's and an abscess no problem. Having been in A&E there is no way you are going to get a CT without a wait unless someone is about to croak there and then and even then it is an argument. Its not that the radiologist who looks at the scan is an arsehole, its just that they know that if they do it they will keep Mrs Bloggs who has been waiting for 8 months for her outpatient scan will be delayed or even have to be rebooked. There is no slack in the system. As for the staff, well think about this. I have just been asked to sign a letter saying by job is band 2b which will give me a 20% pay cut but without any decrease in workload. This is on the back of us effectively having an agreement that we dont say we work band 3 (100%pay supplement for working more than 60 hours a week with more than 25% of that antisocial hours) as it is now 'trust policy' that no one will be paid more than band 2b . During my last diary card monintoring ( a 2 week period where we have to mark off in 15 mninure blocks what we were doing, and what time we went home and why we stayed late and did our consultant 'make us stay late' their words not mine). I worked a 'band 3' week those two weeks i.e. the most intensive. Now a hell of a lot of what actually gets done in the NHS gets done because of the goodwill of the doctors, nurses and allied health professionals doing it. If we turned into a bunch of jobsworths and just did the bare minimum there would be people bying by the bucketload. Is it fair that this is taken advantage of - emotional blackmail because at the end of the day we do the job because we care? Anyway I am rampling now, I think I just passed the longest ever post by me by some fair margin. I just get a little annoyed when people dont understand the environment in which things like this can happen. Best of luck with everyones respective recoveries!

why dont you give these people a call, they seem quite local, http://www.wheelrefurbishing.com/index.htm and they will know what they are doing. If you get it even a little wrong, then you will just end up paying to get it done properly... good luck

no problem, AFAIK you can get the gauges on without removing the needles... my EL ones from miami-GT went on fine. Good luck with it anyway
