England.

.... from where?

Low tyre pressure is more of a cause of blowouts than over-inflation. But, over-inflating tyres to improve fuel economy is really not a good idea because the tyre will wear out more quickly and also the wet weather grip will be badly reduced.

No you won't

Are we going to have an entry fee and prize money this season? Makes it a lot more interesting. I know we talked about in previous seasons but people had already joined the league before a decision was made and that kinda made it impossible to do then. If we are going to have a prize then I guess Daman should probably hold fire on giving the joining code out publicly. What would be a good entrance fee? Say £5 or so? More would probably put folks off I reckon.

If they cap the wages all the best players will just go abroad, back abroad in most cases.

Were you under the impression players really give a shit about their club or its fans? The club is just an employer to most players. They have no real loyalty to clubs, it's all about the money.

I had the same problem with Sky when I needed to swap my insurance from a heavily modified 500+ hp single turbo y2k Supra to a totally stock 03 BMW M3 (343hp). Both cars worth about the same money. I was paying about 1k to insure the Supra a year. The M3 costs me around £400/year.. ...But somehow when I needed to change the policy from one car to the other for the last 4 months of its duration, Sky decided that I needed to pay an extra several hundred quid (about 300 IIRC) It's blatant screwing-the-punter-cos-we-can tactics. They probably all do it though.

I need help. I need the factory value of the Supra

I don't want your money mate. Thanks though, very generous of you to offer. What you really need is somebody with all the original paperwork from Japan that sometimes comes over with the car - it would be 'problem solved' if somebody had the original bill of sale for a NA. My old black Supra, the one JamieP now has, had a pretty comprehensive folder of papers from new, I can't recall if the bill of sale was there though - but that's a TT anyway:( Best of luck! -

It doesn't learn anything from how you drive it, if that's what you mean.

I reckon Thiago Alves has a decent chance of beating GSP. I know it's not most people's prediction but I'm really impressed with Alves and would love to see him do it. Lesnar to beat Mir (Hope I'm wrong) Henderson to beat Bisping.

Interesting. When was this change? I thought being drunk while driving had always been illegal, no?
-
Are they Brembo calipers then? Or are you a chav?

All MkIV Supras were 2997cc when made.

I'll have a bash if you like [email protected] Dunno if i'll have time today though. Feel free to let other have a stab at it too.

I can't understand the clutch thing. Definitely sounds like the viscous coupling is knackered though. Easy way to find out if this is the cause of the noise; take it off the car. It's only four nuts. (put the nuts back on after removing the fan and coupling though, they also hold the pulley on) When you replace the seized viscous coupling you'll be surprised at how much better the engine idles.

;) Is yours a Tiptronic? Tips are the worst for TC problems. (only on MPH converted ones, which of course nearly all ours are)
-
Don't let the lack of a Turbo Timer put you off any Supras. For one thing they're cheap enough to buy and fit, but the main thing is they're pointless anyway. (and they make void any alarm's CAT1 certification)
-
I don't think that right mate. I'm pretty sure you can get fined £30 for no front number plate (or rear I guess). Also, isn't the having reg number revoked only when you've misrepresented the number? (odd spacing or font etc)
-
I'm just interested to know if these Blitz/Mines/Etc modded ECUs are all that they're cracked up to be. I've never actually seen any hard evidence of what the features are, and you sounded like you'd found some specs or somesuch - which would be great to know for sure. Eg. a raised rev limit (if so, how high?) would be good for some folks. Raised boost cut would be good, 'though maybe removed altogether not so good? etc etc.

There was nothing sarcastic about it, it was a genuine question. Tough shit if you don't like the questions I ask or how I ask them. Get you. Superhero Scott to the rescue! I dunno WTF you're on about. How is asking him for further details of the item for sale "tearing him a new one"?
