No way! JB only PMd me 2 days ago asking if I wanted the usual hotel room! I thought it was end of the month! Huh? I'm well confused now.... What do you mean?

5 Stella tops, 1x Guiness, 1 large Vodka and lime, 1 large pernod and black (yes, I konw it's a tarts drink but I like it), 1 snikers bar and about 20 Bensons.

Nooooo! TOTB isn't tomorrow is it? I thought it was a couple of weeks away yet!

bah, I'm shitfaced ATM

....and I'm back. .... (slightly pissed up so forgive me a slight ramble) Well done Smarty, finding the thread in question. I used to get annoyed at some of the traders here, like PaulE and Lucifer buying up parts that were offered for a good price and then selling them on for a profit all the time, so I thought "fack it, I'll do that, but help out the good guys on here when I can and make a sensible profit with the guys I don't know." I'm sure there's a few guys on here reading this who have had stuff for cheap/free from me to back this up. As it happens I'm few quid down over all because I give stuff away too often and my bill from CityLink is averaging about £30/month. I also have a garage full of Supra shit that I think will be useful to someone someday Aaanyway, I just thought I'd have a bitch about it tonight because, TBH, I felt a bit let down. I thought the often mentioned, but not often seen, "club spirit" wasn't being upheld here and I'm pleased that so many of you agree. /moan over. The normal piss-taking will be resumed tomorrow. :D:D

This guy on here was having a problem with his car. He suspected a certain part might be causing the problem. I had a spare one and offered to send it him. He PM'd me his address and I sent it to him, for free mind - I even paid the postage. Now I see he's put the exact same part up for sale on here and sold it. This has annoyed me a bit. Am I being a miserable old git as usual or is that bit off? BTW,I couldn't give a stuff about the money. If I was money mad I wouldn't have given him the part in the first place. But for him to sell it on to another member without offering it back to me now he's apparently done with it seem like bad form to me. What do you reckon?

Oh that's fine then. As long it's nowt to worry about. Thanks

Then the power steering would still work.

Are you saying the engine died on you cos of a loose battery connection? I didn't think it would do that. Losing the power steering (when the crank pulley sheared) has already caused one member to crash. Anyway, get it sorted out mate. A loose bettery terminal can't be a difficult fix surely.

I could understand it being that if it wasn't for the fact that after it started misfiring (at 1.4 bar) it then misfired at a lower boost levels - levels that it had been fine at earlier in the day.

Me and Ryan were out mapping my car today to make sure it was set up properly for the GT40. After some initial messing about getting the right Motec software versions so the laptop so the ECU could talk to each other we eventually got started about an hour late. Then it was out on the road mapping for a good few hours. He's got balls of steel that Ryan. I'm buggered if I'd sit there with det cans on and stare at a laptop while some fat bastard thrashed his Supra along dual carriageways at 140-150 leptons. We got it mapped great at 1.0, 1.25, and 1.40 bar and were about to call it a day when the engine developed an on-boost misfire I tried turning the boost back down to 1.0 bar but it still misfired when in positive boost. So I took it easy on the way home and swapped the BCPR7ES plugs for some GReddy #8 iridiums. This seems to have cured the misfire but I'm left wondering what happened to the old copper plugs. They looked fine when I took them out, although they were gapped a little big maybe (about 0.9mm). I'll probably try a new set of coppers in there next week and see what happens. Is it common for plugs to fail under boost/hard use but run fine again when off boost?

Blimey! What are the odds? Amazing.

I didn't

Which one? There's seven pages of them. Can you just post the URL?

Vehicles you can drive and how old you must be to drive them

So Doug, what happens when I drive past an ANPR camera without a front plate? Does it get flagged somewhere or does it just skip it? Not that we have them down here yet, or many speed cameras, but I guess it'll come eventually.

For nowt? Michael who?

Oh it's an NA! Mystery solved. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/TOYOTA-SUPRA-3-0-SHOW-CAR-ONE-OFF-CUSTOM-MODIFIED_W0QQitemZ130132694510QQihZ003QQcategoryZ18290QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

I presume it's an Auto is it? Doesn't say in the advert.

Indeed. I said as much back in post 38 of this very thread. On stock j-spec injectors at stock pressure?

Don't all the ones with AEMs do that anyway?

She's got big hands then!

It was the "do it again and you're perma-banned" point I was referring to. (If indeed SweetCherryLove does turn out to be Geneb) Unless we're allowed to do it a few times a year, maybe?

You've lost me, Ian. Care to explain?

Veemax, please stop using the (non)word yr. It's doing my head in.
