Thanks for the messages peeps. These are now sold.

I've got a pair of facelift and pre facelift rear looms with bulbs (broke one on the table when I was putting them down ) £35 per pair including delivery I've also got the following LED rings... 60mm x8 70mm x3 80mm x8 90mm x8 £65 for all the rings and spare bits £100 for the the whole lot including delivery.

I've got a set of chrome rings for a facelift dashboard with 2 air vent rings and some cover plates for the AC dials. Rings have never been used and but the dial covers came off a second hand unit. All in perfect condition. £30 including delivery.

Why do you want an impact wrench? Specifically.. Also if you're dead set that that's what you need... what size head? At £150 you're going to be limited to crappy brands and sub standard tools. If you can invest in a little bit more, you'd buy a tool you'd potentially (excuse the pun) wrench on for the rest of your life. If you're wanting something compact and capable, I personally don't think you can do any better than Milwaukee's 12V range. Their 12v 3/4inch wrench would be more than anything you'd need for work you're likely to do outside of a garage environment. If you're willing to spend a little more (and you should) their impact driver can do everything the wrench can, but with a more versatile head. I've got one of these and have used it regularly to remove wheel nuts. It's a lot more than it looks. But to be totally honest if you're just doing small nuts and screws, you're better off with this. I've used mine every day for the last 4 years and it's performed well above what I thought it would ever be capable of.

I bought a Fuji X100T for that very reason. Just wanted something a bit more inconspicuous but in the end, my iPhone camera saw more use and I sold the Fuji the other week with a shutter count of around 700 over 3 years... basically, don't buy a camera that crosses over into the usage you get from a phone or something you already have.

I had the 7D with the 15-85mm lens. Fantastic camera. Replaced it with a 5D mkII after it got pinched. The best thing you can really do is go to a proper camera shop (not Jessops) and hold and try a few. Take your own memory card and then look at the photos you've taken in your own time. In the mean time, dpreview.com is a fantastic review site for all things camera and check out the-digital-picture.com if you was some honest Canon reviews.

For £500 I'd go for something like this Any image you get from a digital camera will probably require some amount of editing - cropping, sharpening or minor colour adjustment - but providing you take the time to set the camera up for the conditions you're shooting in, there's no reason why any modern camera can't capture a decent image straight off the bat.

Very interesting. Although the article was talking about lasers in the KW power range, I'd like to see some real world examples from the 20-100w range that people like myself would use. I've not used a material in my work that my machine hasn't been able to handle, although some I'd rather not use (styrene and similar) as they're pretty toxic when lasered and don't have make a mess of the bed. I did a stone carving workshop the other weekend in Dorset and brought some Portland Stone back with me which engraved quite nicely. Not really suitable for automotive purposes unless you're building a Flintstones car

I'm sure there's more to it, (and I really want to find out what because I love this stuff) but from first glance, it's just a small laser machine with a low powered laser? What advantages does it have over the more powerful cutters they sell at half the price? And apologies in advance for this small hijack.

Only 13K. What justifies such a hefty price?

Get some Stainless Steel ones though

How are you meant to pull birds in a supra... It doesn't even have a tow bar... Sure, you can sling the rope around the wing, but you'll only be pulling like 5-6 tops. And lets be honest, they're blates going to be all the skank hood rats you're scraping off Hondas round the back of a Hobby Craft car park. If you guys really want the ladies, big tribal shin bone tattoos is where it's at. But don't give it all away at once, just show em' the tip as your football socks slide down your sweaty leg. But seriously... people that buy cars in the hope it'll get them laid need to work on their social skills.

£250 was a bargain any day of the week. Brand new, just the callipers are about £600

I'll still lurk these forums. And I don't think it'll be the last Supra I own, but that itch isn't in dire need of scratching yet.

I'm always wary about trying to put blame on other people for something I can't prove, but the previous owner had tyres that were too small for the wheels, so there was no protection for the alloys when they were trying to park it. I could have been a misogynist and said that the previous owner was a woman (which it was) and choked the curbed wheels up to her lack of peripheral vision... but I didn't, because it's a terrible stereotype and it achieves nothing but telling people I'm a terrible human being. So explaining to people that the wheels were curbed by the previous owner is no different than telling someone that the upgrades to a car were done before your ownership. It's simply telling the history of the vehicle. But cool story bro... Sorry bub, it sold this morning.

Yeah I saw that but 4000 for a single seemed a tad cheap I guess the rest of the information leads to why... Sold mine this morning.

Is it an NA or a Turbo?

Ah, my worse half is vegetarian too but you'll definitely find the more obscure places will better cater for her. 9 times out of 10 when you ask what places do that's meat free, it's either a shitty risotto that's actually been cooked with chicken stock or a veggie lasagne which comes out in a cracked ceramic dish which has just come straight out of the freezer into a microwave that's turned so high, it's one click away from altering the molecular structure of the contents and transforming it into something the X-men are going to be fighting in their next diabolical film. Venture up Gloucester Road if you're after more independent places. But if you're taking the Supra, park it on the main street. Or leave it and get the bus. Or walk. Nothing's too far away from anything in Bristol.

What kind of food do you like and how much do you want to spend? Turtle Bay in the City Centre does amazing Caribbean food. Their Jerk stuff is seriously hot though. They also have 2 4 1 on some of the best cocktails you'll ever drink. http://www.turtlebay.co.uk/locations/bristol/ Up on the Triangle towards Clifton are a load of good places. Wahaca does awesome fish tacos among other things. But they bring your food when it's ready, so you might be eating one at a time depending on what you order http://www.wahaca.co.uk/ There's Cabot Circus with things like TGI Fridays and the like... If you're around during the day you should go to the Bear Pit (James Barton Roundabout). It used to be the go-to place to get accosted by drunk bums and to be fair, it's still high up on the list but there is a 1970's double decker bus that's been dropped into the pit which is now a pretty trendy Mexican place. Best burrito you'll ever eat. http://www.bearritos.co.uk/ Whatever you do though, stay far away from Bristologist on Corn Street. That place is complete shite. But there are plenty of other good places on Corn Street too. Where are you staying?

Here's a better picture

This is a 235/40/18 on a 8J front and the sidewall fits flush with the side of the alloy. So add another 1.5 inches onto the width of that wheel and you're going to have a visible stretch.

Thanks guys, it's great fun to drive but I've just lost the love for it so rather than it adorn my drive for another year it's got to go. Plus I want to buy more Volvos. Picked up a full set of chrome trims, headlight, armrest and two complete doors for my 960 for £120 last week. I need more of that in my life.

Make: Toyota (obvs) Model: NA AUTO (sz?) Year:1996 Facelift:Yes (although the front bumper is not) Mileage: Clock reads 88300 but it's a mix of miles and kilometres MOT remaining: 12 Months Service history: None prior to me buying it. Car's location: Bristol Modifications: Wolfrace alloys Good bits: New MOT with no advisories Newly professionally refurbished front callipers New front discs New pads Goodridge SS braided brake lines all round Toyo Proxies with plenty of tread (235 front 265 rears) G series Alpine speakers, front and rear HPI Clear Mechanically the car is totally sound. Drives well, always starts first time. It's done 4000 miles in the last 2 years. The soft part of the dashboard is pretty straight with a little warping around the top of the speedo cluster and a bump around the passenger airbag. Definitely not the worst I've ever seen. Bad bits: No stereo Paintwork needs attention. It's not terrible, but there are a few chips a bit of rust on boot corners and a lacquer peel on the drivers front wheel arch. All 4 wheels (18inch) are quite heavily curbed (previous owner) Underneath looks pretty rusty but the MOT garage said it was only surface corrosion... make of that what you will. ---- I have a set of my halo lights with white rings around the dipped and fog lights so if you're interested, the car can either come with those or the set of refurbed facelifts that are on there at the minute. Don't worry Greg, they're nowhere near as nice as yours ;-) Lets be honest, in the world of the MKIV Supra, the Silver NA AUTO is as basic as they come. The fact that it's a facelift might make it slightly more appealing to those who prefer the updated lights and different dashboard, but it's still a basic Supra. That doesn't mean however, that you're not going to do a little sex wee when you floor it from a green light and feel yourself get pressed into the seat as the Toyos grip the tarmac like a stripper's legs around a chrome pole. Don't let the fact it's an automatic put you first timers off either. When your foot is flat down the car will rev to the redline in every gear before upshifting. Not to mention your left hand is now free to scratch stuff or rest reassuringly on thigh of that babe you just picked up because 'Damn man, you've got a Supra'. Or if you're single (loser) you can hold your drink, because in the 90's everyone wore those 'Thirst Aid' helmets so there was no need to put cup holders in cars.... Also no clutch to wear out. But seriously, it's a great starting point for someone who wants a rear wheel drive car with a bit of poke but doesn't necessarily trust themselves with the power of a TT from the start. Buy it, slap on some nice wheels, one of those zunsport grills and get your girlfriend's uncle's brother-in-law to give it a blow over at his back street body shop and you'll have yourself a car that isn't going to have gone down in value for when you get that TT itch. PRICE: £3800

Ah! I should probably subscribe to my own threads shouldn't I. But nope. No updates. All my lighting gubbins' have been sitting in a box in the shed for the last 4 months. When I get time I'll have another whack at them. Soz bub, but I'm not making anything any time soon. I don't think the glass headlights would look good because they're so heavily lined. It would distort the light from the rings. Noted. Still working all OK then? Did you get resistors fitted to those other indicators? It says I've only got 147 of 1500 messages in there, was probably because I hadn't paid my membership. Should be fine now.

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
