  1. Indeed you have Pretty sure I'll be going with you, pretty unbeatable prices, and your work comes recommended!
  2. Ibrar, will PM you right now...
  3. Ah, spot on mate, sounds like I got myself a decent body shop 5 minutes down the road then! Lets wait and see how it turns out first though, gonna make sure that price comes with a guarantee I think I will be heading to Knight Racer by the sounds of it, so might check it out. Will also still definitely be calling Ibrar, at least for a quote. Good thing about this place though is that they are refitting and balancing, and it just saves me the hassle, y'know?
  4. Nice one, cheers for the rapid replies too chaps! Will have to call him tomorrow and see what kinda of quote I can manage out of him
  5. Oh, forgot to say also - I'm factoring in accessibility to that price. This garage is 5 minutes down the road (I can walk home after!). The next closest is 35 minutes away, and would need to organize a lift home/lift back when finished
  6. So today I went to one of the local garages, was suggested to me by a friend to try them for the alloy refurb. Had a quick chat to the chap who owns it and seemed to know what he was talking about (they always do..! haha). Got quoted £340 for all 4 alloys, fully refurbed, resprayed, re-fitted, and a wheel balance. He said it's going to cost a little more as they need to be shot-blasted. Does this sound about right to you guys? The alloys are in the condition of the attached (flaking around the centre, fair amount of curbing). Also, 'Knight Racer' seem to get good reviews from this forum, and seem a good price for stuff painted and fitted - am I correct? Cheers!
  7. Just had to pop to the shops, and noticed the sound front the front again. It's definitely drivers side, and loudest when turning right - could also hear it briefly after I'd straightened up. Its only at speeds below 10mph. And it sounds like a scraping sound. I understand you guys can only guess, but any ideas? CV joints, track rod ends, any bearings, brakes?
  8. Can I come please? It's only 70 miles from me, and I need to get out of the house this weekend - Would be nice to meet you all (and nose around your cars!), despite my own still being far from what I'd like All in good time though, right? Might bring a friend too if they're free... 1. Josh42 + 2 2. Rich.2211 + 1 3. Big Mark + 1 4. viper 5. Chris0132 + 1 6. Littler 7. Dnk 8. Mac + 1 9. Jord 10. Scott87 11. Kamal 12. Supra_Scott 13.

  9. Pretty certain she shouldn't be sounding like so: It's an N/A obviously, and the sound seems to be coming from somewhere right in the middle. Very specific, I know. The sound I'm talking about is the scratchy/clicky/metallicy sound, heard best in the background at the 0:13 mark This is when running warm. Best to listen in HD, everything becomes a scratchy sound in non-HD There is also a sound coming from the front when turning out of a space, for example. Sounds a bit like something is rubbing. Only seems to happen at slow speeds in 1st, and generally only when turning right. Anything I should check? She's going in for a full blown service in the next few weeks anyway, complete fluid change, new spark plugs, and a decent once over, so what should I mention to my mechanic to check specifically? ta
  10. I like the look, had thought about doing myself, but then adding a low level spoiler (I believe there was a group buy not too long ago, and fell in love with the look.) I think your car looks stunning, and the 1A1 has grown on me a lot recently Would you mind me asking how much that cost you all in, for the bumper respray, tailgate smooth-out, and any other bits? PM me if you llike. East Cote is only 50 minutes from me, so I'm incredibly tempted!
  11. Well I'm still dead excited... Going to be my first event, kinda hoping to be accepted into the fold for proper Haha I reckon the not-knowing of the location keeps the anticipation...! Will be coming no matter where it ends up
  12. Thought they might have liked a good few shots of 50+ Supra's... True about the TV Programme though. It's almost as if they value the 50 years of the E-Type Jag more than 20 years of the Supra? Like you say, magazine or website may be more interested
  13. Might be heading to Torquay in the next few weeks myself in the Supra... 400 mile round trip, fully expecting it to be a £100 fuel cost (Would be literally half that if my Dad lets me borrow his German boat ) N/A 5 speed, averaged 23.6mpg on my last tank - no motorway driving, just my daily commute, with a 'couple' of 'spirited blasts' mixed in with that too
  14. BBC/Top gear would be all over this if they heard about it I reckon!

  16. I'm fairly certain this isn't it - being 6ft3 and weighing a measily 77kg, I rarely get these problems Will have a look this weekend, this sounds like a possible culprit.
  17. Bumping this, same problem. Is the only way just to attempt to re-tighten everything possible?
  18. Can someone conform this please? (Bumping)
  19. Hey man, I good job with the work so far! What's your plan for your rear spats, you keeping them? If you were going to take them off, I'd be happy to buy them off you! Good luck with the rest of it
  20. Don't know how active this still is, but hey, thought I'd put my gamertag down anyway! Xbox live gamertag: vSchemaUk Play a lot of Forza Horizon, so always happy for a few races
