Good on you fella!

I know it's the same thread as a NGK BCPR7ES spark plug 'cos that's what I used to blank mine off with

I never see the front page, I always go straight to : http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/search.php?do=getnew

When I reboot the modem the Sync light flashes for while then stays on. When it's on the Ready light then starts flashing. While the Ready light is flashing the cable modem info is as follows: -------------------------------------------- Cable Modem Status Item Status Comments Acquire a Downstream Channel 586750000 Hz Locked Connectivity State In Progress Ranging Complete Boot State In Progress Waiting for DHCP Offer Cable Modem Downstream Downstream Lock : Locked Downstream Channel Id : 1 Downstream Frequency : 586750000 Hz Downstream Modulation : QAM64 Downstream Symbol Rate : 6952 Ksym/sec Downstream Interleave Depth : taps12Increment17 Downstream Receive Power Level : 0.7 dBmV Downstream SNR : 34.5 dB Cable Modem Upstream Upstream Lock : Locked Upstream Channel ID : 5 Upstream Frequency : 41584000 Hz Upstream Modulation : QPSK Upstream Symbol Rate : 2560 Ksym/sec Upstream transmit Power Level : 48.5 dBmV Upstream Mini-Slot Size : 2 Cable Modem Operation Configuration Network Access : Denied Maximum Downstream Data Rate : 0 Maximum Upstream Data Rate : 0 Maximum Upstream Channel Burst : 0 Maximum Number of CPEs : -1 Modem Capability : Concatenation Enabled, Fragametation Enabled, PHS Enabled -------------------------------------------- After a few mins the Ready light goes out, the Sync light starts flashing again and the modem info is the same I posted earlier.

FFS! They've got to send an engineer out to me. Won't be til thursday though. What a useless bunch of twats

Eighth person now.....

Still on the phone to them I've spoken to seven different people so far. Every one of the useless fuckers reckons I'm talking to the wrong Dept and transfers to the next useless twat.

Back in 1993 I guess 16" and 17" were huge! Bigger than 17" doesn't help the handling on a Supra anyway

I went for the 4meg at £17/month. The extra £10 a month for 10meg isn't worth it to me. 4mb should be a nice increase over the 1meg I've had for the last 3 years.

I paid £500 for mine with a decent set of used tyres. Unfortunately I left the wheels with some brake dust on them for two weeks while I was away working in Ireland. By the time I got back lots of the 'chrome' finish had fallen off. They're pretty much scrap now.

NTL came today to fit my cable broadband. They're put it all in but the modem won't connect, it just sits there flashing the 'Ready' light - apparently it should be constantly lit not flashing. The installers just said "yeah mate, it'll start working in 30 to 45 mins". That was 2½ hours ago. I've rang their Tech Support helpline and spoke to two different people with indian accents so bad I couldn't understand much of what they were saying but basically their call-logging software isn't working at the mo and I should call back in a couple hours.

yeah, they're hi-join 147a I've got a set of them. They aren't the best wheels. They're heavy and the finish on them is easily damaged.

It's growing on me. These must be the j-spec brakes: http://img183.imageshack.us/img183/9193/6a569b459d7443299d695f5xa6.jpg

It's probably too late now but what you could have done is waited for somebody to leave the car park and ask if you could have their valid ticket. Then, when the fine came through the post you could say "that's rubbish, I did have a ticket - in fact it's still in the car. See here's a copy of it" Seems like a lot of hassle for like £20 though.

What does the =op thing mean?

You can say that again!

It's a can-o-worms and one that's been gone over many times on here but basically ceramic j-spec turbos are more responsive (faster spooling, more torque) and the UK ones can make more peak power (but the UK cars are heavier) - I think these things are generally accepted. Neither type is much use above 1.2 bar as (to put it in simple terms) they just make heat rather than power when they're out of their efficiency 'island'. Look for posts by Chris Wilson and JohnA for lots of interesting, and differing, opinions on the subject. CW is generally regarded as this country's leading expert on Supra tech and I know he wouldn't have a UK spec either. How do you mean a VVTi is too new for you? There's no such thing as too new, is there?

No I think it's correct. IK22 are more than adequate for BPU. Running too cool a plug offers no benefit and they are more prone to fouling.

It was tongue-in-cheek. There's a lot of "my car's better than yours" banter between the UK owners and the J-spec owners. Here's my take on it (other will disagree and that's fine): Fuel pumps and headlights are cheap and easy to change. Personally I would rather have a newer, lighter car, with Recaro seats and the excellent j-spec turbos. VVTi is an added bonus. I suppose it depends what you want. The UKs are a great luxury car but they're heavier than the J-cars, they have the smaller, less torque, laggy steel turbos, a lot of them have beige interiors and stuff I don't want/need like cruise control, headlight dildos, EGR and heated leather seats. On the plus side they do have glass headlights, 550cc injectors and decent brakes but any good j-car has the same brakes. Glass headlights are cheap if you want them (most folks seem to prefer the facelift j-spec ones but I like the glass ones) Once you start seriously modding the car you'll want more than 550cc injectors anyway. Don't get me wrong, UKs are fine cars but in my opinion they're not the top Supra to have, not if you want a sports car anyway. I would recommend that before you buy a Supra take the Pepsi challenge and drive a VVTi manual RZ and a UK manual. To me they're very different cars but who knows, you might prefer the UK. I'd be interested to hear your thoughts if you do test drive both types. ps, And don't get me started on bloody aerotops!

Sorry but that made me

Ewwww! Why?

I don't know but I do know it's shit. WTF is the point of that thing?

...depending where the EGT probe is positioned of course.
