Wasn't as bad as I expected, the challenge thing with the jeeps & reliants was boring as hell but Matt's Nomad video was great. Matt Le Blanc I think will save the show, he's funny, knows how to perform on camera but when he gets into the 'flow' or whatever of the show he'll be spot on Chris Evans needs to be replaced ASAP, it was like watching an autistic child with a fantastically bad fashion sense run around shouting. It wa slike a cross between TGIF and a budget holiday's childrens entertainer "Give him a hand everybody!" *obedient and polite clapping* "Here comes the water-splash, look at that!" *half hearted 'woooo'* Tanner Foust would make a good replacement for Chris Evans...

it's fine, highly unlikely anyone will call you out on it unless you get the worlds most finicky, busy-bodiest traffic cop who's bored and hates hsi life. In such a case just humour the poor guy

It's off a 2015 Toyota Yaris Sport, has the red stitching, flappy paddles, flat bottom & all the buttons (non working because... effort) They come without the flappy paddles and with white or blue stitching too, keep an eye out for them, direct swap -

I think more than just some members of this forum need to read this. By yelling 'Allahu Ackbar' in a mock terrorist attack the police actually broke the law (Insighting racial hatred iirc) and I'd expect them to apologise. Seems petty to non-Muslims but to Muslims it's extremely insulting. Imagine the uproar if in Germany for example in the same situation (police exercise in a public domain) and a police officer playing a terrorist yelled "Heil Hitler!" They'd probably go to prison, forced resignation etc Silly mistake but it caused a lot of offence

For £10k just get an XC90, as far as I can tell they're probably the best 4x4 SUV you can get for the money

If you need it collecting from Italy just gimme a fuel card & £100 for food, I'll be happy to fetch it for you I'm aware there is an engine-break in period Please be aware it'll be fully broken in upon delivery to you

Damnit, well that's £80 I was saving for Supra food gone -_-

https://esta.cbp.dhs.gov/esta/application.html?execution=e3s1# What are the passport requirements for travel under the Visa Waiver Program? Visa Waiver Program requirements are: The passport must have a machine-readable zone on the biographic page. The passport must be an electronic passport with a digital chip containing biometric information about the passport owner. What I can find, hope i dont have to spend £80 just to meet a minute requirement -_-
-
Yeah I think while Googling about UK>US holiday travel and they say a e-passport "chipped passport" is required or something which I have Applying now as it seems to be good for two years and i'm going in 2017 so may as well get it out of the way! Thanks for the confirmation all - - - Updated - - - It's 2008 issued, but my picture & details and the chip thing are at the back, not the front?
-
Just a quick question, next year I'm traveling to Texas, US to visit some friends. Does anyone know what's required for this? As far as I can tell all I need to do is apply for the VWP via the ESTA system online. Is anything else needed or do I just need approval from ESTA and then proceed to book flights etc? (UK citizen, born UK, no criminal records or any fuss & nonsense)

That's cool as hell, although if it were me I'd see it as Ferrari being a tease "Oooh, cheeky bit of chassis... We'll paint that next week... Perhaps"
-
God knows, but that does make sense, for example say I put my foot down at 60, and climb up to 90-100 about halfway through the rev range maybe where the turbos change over the fuel will cut very briefly and continue accelerating. Seems to happen regardless of temperature, winter or hot days like today. I'll text the previous owner and confirm if it has a restrictor ring in place And yep, defo, going to get a manual boost controller & a basic but functional gauge to keep an eye on things for the sake of turbo longevity. Thanks for your help with this, hope to get an update after fitting & cleaning a few bits
-
Aha, yeah I think there is a restriction ring on the exhaust - The car was sorted by whifbitz so should have it in place, would the fuel cut be a lot more frequent if it was straying over 1-1.2bar more often? I only get it once or maybe twice on a hard bit of accelerating (say 50-110mph on autobahn when overtaking) Yeah I think I'll get more suitable plugs, the ones in there have a 1.1mm gap, suitable for TT BPU according to the FAQ but will get some 0.9mm ones
-
if you find that you have a coolant loss thing but no signs of H/gasket failure, replace the rad cap with a new 1.3bar one, and check the rear heater/coolant hoses behind the engine head at the firewall for leaks
-
Yeah will clean out the TB and ICV when i get my K&N filter service kit, hopefully that improves things. I dunno if its the VVTI but my car idles at about 500rpm according to the clocks, maybe 900rpm when it firsts starts but then settles to 400-500pm but its smooth, doesnt strike me as the idle speed being too low. Will get a pic to show what i mean tomorrow. Certainly a frustrating thing, trying to find a tiny fault that could e on of 30 things -_- Yeah BPu with walbro fuel pump, decat, whifbitz full exhaust, K&N panel filter, NGK iridium plugs (BKR6EIX-11) but no boost controller or FCD so all standard boost wise. what's the part number for grade 7 NGKs?

I'd be inclined to believe he's unemployed if he had the time to create that... My personal CV; "Pay me money and I'll do s**t for you, there is a minimum value of my time i'm afraid"
-
Yeah its not something you'd want to know with a Supra but i'm just worried something is wrong seems the average turbo mpg is 20-22mpg for urban driving though and about 24-28 on motorways For mine it was one o2 sensor as its a facelift vvti one. I think for yours it'd be two sensor upstream/downstream. Easy enough to replace if the nuts aren't too rusty on it.Just takes some wrist limbo
-
Trying to look for a temp sensor; 89422-35010 but having no luck online. Will call Toyota and see fi they have any for less than £1,000,000 and my pet goat. o2 sensor was a Denso OEM replacement one, had the exact same plug, wire length & fixings as the old one (Genuine Toyota no longer available for VVTI TT) so had to make do. Bought it in a hope to improve my MPG but it didn't do anything to improve it EDIT: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/JZA80-Supra-2JZ-GTE-Water-Temp-Sensor-ECU-2Pin-Conceptua-/150706781515 These 'racing' ones any good?

Apologies title should read "MPG slightly poor-" Yeah my gut feeling tells me it's running rich even with the new o2 sensor, but no AFR sadly. What could cause it to run rich? It's had new spark plugs, new o2 sensor, serviced in September 2015 btw Is there a way to diagnose it? I'm going to be draining the coolant to replace the heater hoses so worth doing the temp sensor & thermostat at the same time? (The car warms up well, hot air after 5-7mins of driving through town for example so I don't suspect the thermo is faulty but may replace to cover everything) Thanks for the quick replies, very much appreciated - - - Updated - - - Apologies title should read "MPG slightly poor-" Yeah my gut feeling tells me it's running rich even with the new o2 sensor, but no AFR sadly.
