  1. 2 litres please. Thanks Dan
  2. This really is a smashing car - probably the tidiest and most well balanced "package" of modifications I've seen on a Supra............perfect in my book!
  3. Isn't the recline adjuster on the wrong side?
  4. Do you know where to look to take a couple of photos?
  5. OK thanks Nic (they might be a bit bright on my slightly grubby facelift alloys though!! How much are they anyway?) Ayone else?
  6. OK fair enough. Give me a shout if the wheels don't shift and you want some cash for the caps....
  7. Sorry - I may have misled you a bit with that question....I am looking for a set of facelift centrecaps. Would you consider selling them seperately?
  8. What's a fair price on a BL one nowadays?
  9. OK fellas, It looks like I need to replace the siren on my Clifford alarm and to do that the dash panels have to come off to get back to the siren connection to the alarm "box". I'm considering a new alarm - maybe something with window closure and perhaps remote start but not made the decision yet. New siren vs new alarm! Can anyone recommend a good company to fit me a new alarm (CAT 1 approved) in the Gloucestershire area. Also does anyone have a clifford concept 300 siren knocking around anywhere?? Cheers Dan

    610 Bhp!

    Well done Charlie, nice numbers. How does it compare to the stage 1 turbo overall?
  11. Another obvious (and not intentionally offensive) one.... Left hander??
  12. I'm off to do some googling....fingers crossed!
  13. Thanks for the reply Andy. Yes I have the book but no real answer yet. The chirps definitely weren't muted or put in silent mode - and I am 99% sure that "missing chirps" are a sign of a battery going flat in the siren itself. The weird thing is that the "alarm" and immmobilizer seemed to be able to be turned on and off with the keyfob (hence the indicators flashing correctly with arm/disarm) but the siren was just doing its own thing. Being able to start it and drive it (after disarming as per normal with the remote) suggests that the siren (and only the siren) was malfunctioning. It's a little weird but I'm thinking the siren itself is sha&&ed.....
  14. A bit more info for those who may be able to help: 1. The siren stopped "chirping" several months ago (when locking/unlocking). The indicators would just flash but there'd be nothing at all from the siren. I believe this is a sign the siren battery is running low. 2. If I disconnected the battery to work on the car and then reconnected some time later the siren "chirping" (when locking/unlocking) would return for a day or two then go back to silent again. If the alrm did get triggered then the siren would go off as normal. 3. If I hold down the keyfob button (now - this morning) to enable panic mode and set the alarm off, the siren will not sound at all. The indicators flash fast and repeatedly as if the alarm is going off but there is no sound. 4. The is no obvious electrical plug/socket connection to the siren under the bonnet (makes sense obviously) but does anyone know how deep into the alarm wiring one has to delve to be able to disconnect the siren and replace it with another (if that's even possible)? OK...all input appreciated guys.......
  15. OK picture the scene…8:15am, Sunday morning - nice, quiet suburban area… I pull up on the drive nice and steady keeping the Nur Spec mellow and quiet, freewheeling the last 40 yards to my drive so as not to agitate any sleeping neighbours. All is nice and quiet, not even a dog walker in sight. I get out the car and hit my keyfob button to lock the car as I walk to the front door. Then for no apparent reason the alarm starts to sound so I turn round and hit the button again to turn the alarm off…hahaha…no such luck. So then I try it again…nope! I try again…nope! I try the valet mode…nope! With every scream from the siren another curtain twitches as the neighbours wake up one by one to see what’s going on. The strange thing is that every time I press the keyfob button the doors lock/unlock and the indicators flash twice/once accordingly. All the time the siren is screaming it’s own little war cry under the bonnet. Anyway, to cut a long story short I end up opening the bonnet (great….even more noise – bringing the 75 year old femme fatale from across the road out onto her driveway to investigate further) and wrapping my jacket around the siren to try to hush things down a few decibels while I investigate. Well there’s nothing obviously amiss although I am no alarm expert. I’m contemplating cutting all the wires and pulling the b*$%ard thing out but then a mixture of immobilization worries and a realization I left nearly all my tools at my dad’s place last night soon quashed that idea. So eventually I end up wrapping an old towel around the siren and driving down the road like some thieving scumbag making off with a lovely looking Supra headed for a dodgy lock up somewhere (all the while the siren is still merrily screaming away)!!! I am now out at my old man’s house trying to decide what to do (the siren stopped about ten minutes after I started driving away). Do I cut the wires and pull the siren out? Do I leave it and assume it was a fluke incident? Do I fill the siren with expanding foam whilst tracking down a replacement or some official Clifford advice? Thoughts please people…. anyone had anything similar before?? Cheers Dan
  16. They don't say the manifold supports 1000bhp - they say it has a t$ flange suitable for turbos supporting up to 1000bhp - a bit of sneaky wording if you ask me!
  17. I'll take it. Could you get a quote to post it to GL3 2SH please?
  18. I run them on another car and they are a good road legal tyre if a little soft. I believe there are two compounds A048 and A048R although I also have a feeling they may have discontinued one of them. I think the R was the softer compound and these only came with about 3mm tread from new. They make a good noise on certain roads - bit like a supercharger!! Not sure about Supra usage though - sorry.
  19. Good man - let me know if you need a hand with anything during/after the move. If I am around I'd be pleased to help....
