    Yeah, they've probably got nothing else to do. Still it's only been 3 minutes, there's still hope of an answer on here.
  2. It was only a question of time really
  3. The reversing light on our Charlotte's Clio doesn't work. Can't see why, the fuse and bulb are OK. I'll need to get it sorted before her MoT, right? It's just that somebody told her it doesn't matter for the MoT but I don't believe them. Anyone know for sure?
  4. That happened to my Dad once. The person in the parked car opened their door and we hit it. As it happened the police were just across the road and came over but they reckoned it was my dad's fault because he hadn't left enough room to allow for someone opening the door! That's never right, is it?

    You've had the same Supra since 1995? Wow! It's a UK spec is it? What did it cost you?
  6. I bet Hamza couldn't believe his luck when he got 10k for that!

    Do i declare?

    Unless you're in hospital or the police have taken the car for examination - then you're really in the shit.
  8. Only correct for you newbs that have the default 10 posts per page or whatever tf it is. I support my local team: Pompey. I also follow Arsenal and have done for many years because my local team weren't in the Premiership for the first donkey's years of the premiership.

    de-badge ????

    There are two holes behind each of the two Toyota logo badges. The other one you can just remove.
  10. Some guy on betfair was offering 250 to 1 on Braga to win a few mins ago. He took £234 of bets before the penalty! I reckon he's shitting himself at the moment! He stands to lose £58,500 if Braga get the winner
  11. 2-2 Super Ze Carlos !!!!!11 COME ON YOU BRAGA!!

    Supra Sold

    Blimey. It's one of the nicest cars on here too. You haven't had it long either.
  13. Ahh, you said 460Lbs before. Nm is quite a lot different to ft-lbs. 464.7 Nm = 342.7 ft-lbs (Divide Nm by 1.356 to convert to ft-lbs)
  14. 600Nm of torque is about 442 ft-lbs isn't it?
  15. (Posted on behalf of Lockys96) Day 8 The car has been dusted off before being rolled into the spray booth and is being masked ready for spraying. Before getting to this stage, green primer was rolled over the blended and repaired areas, then sprayed with a black witness coat which was rubbed down to remove any imperfections. http://img339.imageshack.us/img339/323/image003nr1.jpg Note the apertures for indicator lights. These were not present in the kit and so had to be cut out, and fibreglass inserts made and bonded into the cutouts. http://img265.imageshack.us/img265/2241/image005qi4.jpg The first primer coat is applied. http://img239.imageshack.us/img239/5452/image007jj1.jpg http://img96.imageshack.us/img96/8183/image009hr4.jpg http://img340.imageshack.us/img340/6482/image011aq0.jpg http://img410.imageshack.us/img410/5589/image013bw3.jpg Now every inch of the surface is examined and any blemished removed before another coat of primer is applied. This may be repeated several times as required to eliminate any other imperfections. http://img410.imageshack.us/img410/7113/image015qk5.jpg After the final primer coat, the surface is then rubbed down with ultra-fine abrasive to ensure a glass smooth finish for the black base coat. Day 9 The primer coat has been rubbed down to remove any imperfections and the black base coat is sprayed on. http://img239.imageshack.us/img239/7373/image017dw0.jpg http://img341.imageshack.us/img341/1559/image019pz1.jpg A total of five base coats were applied, with each being flatted down before the application of the next. http://img239.imageshack.us/img239/5320/image021xt3.jpg Try to work out how we got the car to levitate. The door, boot and bonnet apertures were sprayed with the finish colour first. This is because the doors, bonnet and boot will be assembled before the final coats are applied to ensure an even colour over the entire surface of the car.

    quick tyre q

    Yeah they'll be fine. Just don't crash it because an insurance assessor wouldn't like you having narrower than stock tyres.
  17. You sexist pig. If she deserved punching her XX chromosomes are irrelevant IMO
  18. Read your post dude, it makes no sense. Write it again in legible English and you will get an answer.

  20. Is that right? I haven't heard that before. What's your source? (I'm not saying it's wrong, it sounds like a sensible precaution)
  21. I like other folk's black Supras but I'd never have one myself, it's just too much work. Black looks great when spotlessly clean but it's dead common and the car only stays clean until the first time you drive it. Most of the time they look like crap. Met Blue and Gunmetal are much better in that respect. They don't show the grime so the car still looks good. IMO, Purple is old hat too. It was 'different' a few years ago but now it's the colour that people go for just because they want to be different not because it actually looks nice. Like I said, just my opinion
  22. Sam Fox was topless in The Sun at 16 so it must be legal.
