  1. Why are you fitting a narrowband O2 gauge? They're useless as a monitoring tool
  2. It's very easy, 2 minute job max Just undo the 3 light harneses, undo the 2 nuts and 1 bolt securing the headlight and *carefully* remove the light. If you're in the area drop by and I'll show you how.
  3. Mine used to be one of the fastest drag supra's in Europe
  4. Take the headlight out, you should be able to access the bolts after that
  5. Cheers Stevie B! The center dash panel, the speedo surround panel and the panel one where the key is. If they include the air vents that'll save me sourcing them to! I'll take them

    members packs??

    You'll get one when I have time to do another batch. You only joined 12 days ago! The £10 is to join the club, it's not for the members pack, thats a freebie. As discussed before, I sent you one last year and since you requested it I have another one here for you (probably will go in the post tomorrow). They do have a habbit of going missing (posties opening them to check the 'card' I reakon).
  7. What was the rwhp Matt? Flywheel isn't really important to us folks is it Unless you engine dyno'd it, which is a whole other matter. Mine consistently made 355-360rwhp over 3 years at SRR on the stock turbo's but it was right on the edge of running lean (and at 1.2bar boost in the summer)
  8. Oh my god Don't start it again until you get a base map loaded at the VERY least. Ideally get it on a trailer and take it to your mapper. It's insane to start it without even a base map for your injectors. You are very lucky you've not melted a piston, though a leakdown test is advisable after this.
  9. I'll get a new set of pads tomorrow and will post up a pic of the pads. There isn't much to see, just some uneven wear. No point scrimping on brakes, especially at Ford (Partco ) prices!
  10. Thanks mate. The pads are hardly worn so yes, it looks like they were swapped out and the discs not. They are the correct pads for the car (checked that after seeing the disc!) The wear on the 3 other faces are perfectly normal and competely flat, just this one face was extremely uneven. I didn't replace the pads, but I guess this might be a wise option? The pad on that side was also worn unevenly so probably isn't going to do the new disc much good
  11. GrahamC managed about 380rwhp on his hyrbid car with pretty much every mod you could make (WI, cams, standalone with Ryan.G map). This was at SRR so about as reliable as you can get for 'realistic' hp figure I can't imagine the jdm's being able to flow more than the hybrids, so I'd hazard a guess that 370bhp at the wheels is absolute max on a 6spd.
  12. The top one is aftermarket, the lower one I think is for folding wing mirrors If you don't take them, I will
  13. The previous owner of the car told me the front discs needed changing as there was some shuddering under braking - he wasn't joking! The passnger side looked fine, very worn and probably original. The driver side inner had some strange wear, there were chunks out of the disc face and the outer edge was worn about 2-3mm, with the wearing getting worse the closer to the outside edge. Any ideas what could have caused this? There is also a little bit of play in the wheel, so the wheel bearing could do with changing too.
  14. What a very strange thread. Who is ISPCS? Google says "Israel Society for the Promotion of Classical Studies" ? Who is Peadar?
  15. This conversation came up a couple of years ago with some of my old school friends. We were discussing old GF's, etc and someone mentioned how pretty much every one of us would have now been classed as sex offenders For example, most of them had GF's in our school year when they were 15, however, as soon as one of the partners reach 16 they are, in the eyes of the law, a sex offender. None of us ever considered or discussed it at the time as no one cared. However those circumstances are not the reason for the law (which I think is correct to keep in place). However there does need to be some interpretation between the ages of the people involved. I.e. anyone outside school age involved with a
  16. My old school friend is serving 10 years there for drug smuggling, she doesn't rate it very much
  17. They are all new and in sealed boxes. However the pics did show that quite a few of the boxes were damaged which probably explains the damage some have seen.
  18. This is the guys that has something like 50 sets of supra headlights for sale (I have a picture of them somehere). The club was considering buying them, but logistics were an issue. I personally think they were a stolen shipment... I mean who in their right mind buys 50+ sets of lights that are of no use in their own country?!
  19. I hadn't heard of the extra content until now, but it seems both versions are likely to get something later in the year. According to Wiki:
  20. Understood The thing that really puts me off pre-ordering were the delays that lots of people had with (for example) the GT5 Prologue release. Most had to wait extra days to get their pre-orded copy, wheras those that hadn't pre-orded just went to a shop and bought it. Fair enough though, was just curious 9 days and counting, feel like a kid waiting for Christmas
  21. One thing I don't understand is the point of pre-ordering. Why do so many of you bother with it? I already spoke to the local Game store who said they should be receiving their stock towards the end of next week, they said there would be no problem with supply even if people queue out the door.

    Awesome Trimmer!

    Incredible workmanship, it makes the "efforts" by some other companies look like a joke!
  23. If it's that far off, I wouldn't even recommend driving the car, let alone on-boost! What is the story with the car, how come it's got a single, but not been mapped?
