    Ouch!

    http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/news/story?id=2960510 LOS ANGELES -- Jake Brown, who had a spectacular crash in Thursday night's "Big Air" skateboard competition at the X Games, was released from the hospital on Saturday. He suffered a lung contusion and a right scaphoid (wrist) fracture and will have surgery next week for the wrist fracture, Brown spent two nights in the hospital after falling 40 feet on the Skateboard Big Air mega ramp during his fifth run Thursday night at Staples Center. After pulling off a difficult 720 over the ramp's 70-foot gap, he launched up the adjacent quarterpipe and immediately lost control. Plunging face first, his legs pedaling wildly, Brown turned over in the air and landed on his tailbone, with his head and limbs hitting soon after.

    Suggest a mobile?

    That 'pressing the red button not exiting apps" thing is a bit hit and miss. It exits TomTom just fine but not the radio. I must say though that the 5mp camera on the n95 is shite compared to even a basic real camera like an iXUS.

  4. Thanks but I can't see how it would help.
  5. Well that was a disappointment. I changed my Ref/Sync Mode (aka REF), Crank Ref Teeth (CRT) and Crank Index Position (CRIP) to the same as Simon's and the car started first time . . . but when I turned it off and tried to restart the engine it wouldn't. It did make massive plumes of black smoke though! I put it back to my original settings and it's back to starting but not very well. I tried a few combinations of Simon's REF, CRT and CRIP with my settings but none worked better than what I had in the first place. Bummer
  6. Oh I see. Your point wasn't clear to me. I'm still not sure who you are referring to but I'm sure they'll know.
  7. Why do you wonder that? What has the collapse of mkivstore got to do with the turbofit collapse? Please explain. Are you suggesting that somebody who had bad dealings with mkivstore and said so should therefore also comment on the TF mess? I don't see the logic there. Martin was a lying cheating wanker and those of us that said so were eventually proved correct, much to the annoyance of the people that had been taken in by him and were kissing his arse for months. I've said nothing against TurboFit because I've never dealt with them - I made that decision long ago.
  8. £3600 is too much to pay for an auto SZ, especially one that has suspiciously had the front bumper changed (crashed?). The previous owner almost certainly knew the car wasn't really a 98 model as it would have been worth a fair bit more than 3600 but getting that much for the bottom of the range auto SZ of a 94 vintage is good business (for the seller).
  9. Excellent. A few belters there. Some more:
  10. That was good timing Ryan, I've just got in from the pub and was saying on the way home to my mrs that I hoped you'd seen this thread. I'll give Simon's settings a try tomorrow and see how it goes. Many thanks to both you and Simon.
  11. Thanks for that Simon. Surely the Ref/Sync Mode & Crank Ref Teeth settings should be the same for all 2JZ-GTEs regardless of VVTi? - - - - - - Edit to add: These are the settings Dan put in not Ryan
  12. When I start my car the Motec software logs a Ref/Sync error. The error only occurs on startup. The car doesn't start very well when hot. Takes a good few turns before it fires. Ryan rang me just now and suggested I slightly increase the REF Mag Level from their current values: RPM Volts 0 0.3 500 0.5 1000 1.0 So I was wondering what settings the other Motec users on here have in their Ref Mag Levels and Sync Mag Sensor Levels? Also I noticed that in the REF SYNC Setup the Ref / Sync Mode looks odd : http://img408.imageshack.us/img408/9739/untitled1nw0.gif 33? That's not right, is it?
  13. Were they Brembo brakes as claimed? Or J-specs painted gold with Brembo stickers? I couldn't tell for sure cos it was only a brief shot but they sure looked like sliding calipers.
  14. Is that the orange sticky stuff?
  15. Only a fraction of UK Supra owners on are in this club so it's impossible to know for sure. Same as when people claim they have "The only set of these wheels in the UK" or "The UK's first xxx yyy zzz Supra". It's bollocks. Do they know every Supra in the UK? It just means it's the first/only/youngest/whatever that they know of.
  16. Bugger, didnt know it was on. What happened then?
  17. That's 253 KB though Bry. For an avatar it has to be under 50 KB To reduce it by over 80% it'll look shit. I've attached it here in case anyone else wants to have a go at it. http://img406.imageshack.us/img406/3365/120junkrl7.gif
  18. You lucky bugger! Sounds like great fun

  20. Attach it to this thread or Email it to me Bry, I'll have a go for you : [email protected]
  21. It'll definitely be OK then because the other guy's insurance can't write YOUR car off without you agreeing to it. You can insist they repair it no matter what the cost, even if it was like £30,000
  22. I'm confused. If you're not going through your insurance how could it be written off?
  23. I hope not! It would be a real shame to see a uber-rare classic like the M1 with a body kit or other tat on it.
