  1. That's exactly why I haven't worked for the last 15months. I got 42k redundancy money and 20k of shares when I got laid off in Sept 05 and I've basically been living off that ever since. TBH, it's been great! I really like not working. The money is starting to run out now though:( It's surprising how quickly the money goes down when you've got none coming in. I've dabbled with a couple of different things in this time I've been out of work but neither of them worked out how I had hoped so I won't be doing them for a living. I've got to find something soon though, my Mrs isn't gonna put up with me sitting on my arse any longer. Try it at 40 mate! It really sucks.
  2. I think you're allowing RWHP drivetrain losses to a RHHP figure there. There's a big difference in my experience. Where did you get 340 RHHP measured? (Which company)
  3. Manager of the week: Charlotte In one week Charlotte had gone from 11th position over all to 3rd. She's now just 12 points behind Peter Devine who had a poor week with only 29 points. Dave Gow's (Loks) run of bad form continued and he's dropped from 3rd over all to 7th.

    downpipe

    replaces the 2nd cat
  6. See "Shields Up" here: http://www.grc.com Highly recommended
  7. If he has the TRAC disabled the throttle won't work.
  8. Really? How many R34s have you owned or driven Trev?
  9. Found it. Good nick too. PM me your address
  10. I think I have the whole Snow/Slip switch spare. I'll see if I can find it for you after me dinner
  11. I've just been searching for the thread about it but I can't seem to find the one. Like I said, both my facelift Supes have had the same problem with the boot release not fully opening the boot and I'm sure I remember Terry S and Chris Webley saying that theirs were the same. I think someone (Terry?) fixed his with some bits from an older Supra. So yours is OK at the mo Carl? Is yours a pre-VVTi facelift? Maybe the problem is only on ones after a certain date (98+ models?) Any other facelift owners have this problem?
  12. Darren, I believe it's a fault with all facelift Supras. If I remember right you have to fit the mechanism from a prefacelift Supe to get it working. I just use the key on mine.
  13. Go you. Start your own thread though. This one's about crap presents
  14. But only run it at 1.0 bar? (It's not really clear if that's what you intend to keep to or whether you're just claiming 500bhp at 1.0bar)
  15. :sniff: I love a happy ending! : dabs at nose with lacy hanky:
  16. 1, There is one. Do a search. 2, I don't care to read folks showing off about their presents.
  17. I can't see why you would run a road car on race fuel, unless you had it mapped at two levels and could easily switch between the two maps. Who wants to sit in traffic wasting £3 a ltr race fuel while ticking over? Who would buy a road car that needed remapping before it could run on pump fuel? If you're only going to be running 1.0 bar then you'll only see performance gains by running a bit more more timing advance - and the gains won't be all that much. It's never worth it.
  18. OK. I could go on but I won't because it'll look like I'm picking an argument and I'm really not.
  19. Why on earth did you do that? Anything over 6500K is putting out measurably less light than 4200k/6500k
  20. Why? Wouldn't you want your main beam to be as bright as poss rather than a 'fashonable' purple colour? I can maybe understand folks having the ricey high-K lights on dipped (not that I would but I know it's the fashion) but not the for main beam. What's your thinking there Mike? Is it so they match the dipped beams?
  21. Might be a silly question but is the video you transferred to the phone of a screen res that the phone can play OK?
