    Will Not Start

    Inspect the coil packs for any signs of cracking,If they are arching out like youve described then they are breaking down and not giving a spark like they should be,The normal syptoms of the packs breaking down are mis-fire at low rpm with high load,Check this and see what happens,Let us know!
  2. That would act as a wind break more than a bonnet scoop,Can we have his address so we can go torch it and teach him the true meaning of owning a supra?
  3. I just want to highlight what Nic is selling here,I had mine shipped from Nic in 2 days door to door and these things are huge!,If anyone is gonna do a brake upgrade get your money out now,You wont be disapointed!
  4. Removing the main beam bulb worked for me too!
  5. Out in Purton earlier driving to a job and saw a black beast sat outside a house,Had a nice looking front bumper,Looked like a C-wings possibly from a distance, Anyone own it on here?
  6. That would make sense on why I cant find nowt then! Thanks to you both!
  7. I have searched on this and found nothing before anyone says it,I might be searching on the wrong description but anyway my problem is..... When changing down gear the second turbo sometimes does not spool up in that gear until I change up,Also sometimes after going above 4 grand then slowing below 4 then accelerating again it doesnt spin up,Ive been informed by a reasonably good source that it is down to the exhaust mixer sticking,Where would I find this and is it grief to sort it out? thanks in advance!
  8. A work mate had told me that he had seen rather an unusual supra in trowbridge,He said that the car was black and gold,It apparantly had a wide arch kit with gold split rims and black leather with gold piping on the interior,TRD bonnet and some crome bits on the side skirts! Dunno if this sounds right to anyone but it sounds a little pie in the sky to me! Please someone prove me wrong!

    Driving positions

    Well the ideal seating position is supposed to be arms and legs slightly bent though isnt it? tried a Skytaxi before buying the supra and had less room in that than the supra
  10. the option that I find best is hit it with a fookin big hammer!,Frees it off in no time!
  11. Not exactly being a small bloke at 6 foot 5 and carrying a few pounds the seating position in my supra made me wonder who has thier seat in what position,I have mine fully back with the bottom dropped to the low and a little dent on my door card where my elbow sits,My mate drove the car being similar height to me and had the seat set that his knees were almost on the dash!,I couldnt even get myself in the car after he been in it!,Whats the norm for most people?

    Never kick a Volvo.

    Yeah,If you put the leads on the wrong way!
  13. Glad to see im not the only poor bastid who has to put up with Deadenders! Anything for a quiet life hey!
  14. Thats oneof the best ive seen in a while! Would have liked T1MBO but that went onto a S2000 (Booooooo!)
  15. Recently done Edinburgh to Bristol in 5 n a half hours......... In my birds 1.2 Clio!
  16. I live in the area where alot of my friends are owning reasonably quick cars icluding 32GTR's,Rex's,Scoobies,Evos and the likes where aqll of my friends are constantly throwing money at thier cars making them ever increasingly faster,the point that I want to make is that the supra is the best car out there rgardless of your 4 wheel what-dya-call its and what ever else,I dont want to inch my way past them,I want to fly past them with all guns blazing!
  17. When people on here say boot rubbers they mean the 2 black rubber blocks that are sat either side of the boot lid mind,A mistake that I made when I bought some off of Lovatt,It did sort the problem squeek out but wasnt what I thought it was doing it!
  18. How do you do a screen grab as I got 0 on the screen!,Might have been a fluke BTW!
  19. That is a bit of an odd one mate,Think you need to shout louder! Think it might be in the wrong place which could be another thing!
  20. Quote: The Honda rider was traveling at such a "very high speed", his reaction time was not sufficient enough to avoid this accident. Swedish Police estimate a speed of ~250 KM/h (155mph) before the bike hit the slow moving car side-on at an intersection. At that speed, they predicted that the rider's reaction time (once the vehicle came into view) wasn't sufficient enough for him to even apply the brakes. The car had two passengers and the bike rider was found INSIDE the car with them. The Volkswagen actually flipped over from the force of impact and landed 10 feet from where the collision took place. All three involved (two in car and rider) were killed instantly. This graphic demonstration was placed at the Stockholm Motorcycle Fair by the Swedish Police and Road Safety Department. The sign above the display also noted that the rider had only recently obtained his license. At 250 KM (155 mph) the operator is traveling at 227 feet per second. With normal reaction time to SEE-DECIDE-REACT of 1.6 seconds the above operator would have traveled over 363 feet while making a decision on what actions to take. In this incident the Swedish police indicate that no actions were taken.
  21. Thought it might have been but I dont get on here as much as I would like! Is that not a RC30 then as opposed to an NC30 then?
  22. This made me feel kinda icky looking at this but the owner of the bike passed his test nowt but 2 weeks earlier,The pictures are from a bike show,Just makes you realise what can happen when we got out on the weekends...... http://www.samb0.co.uk/crash/crash1.jpg http://www.samb0.co.uk/crash/crash2.jpg http://www.samb0.co.uk/crash/crash3.jpg http://www.samb0.co.uk/crash/crash4.jpg Not suprisingly both occupants and the rider were killed instantly,This picture was taken at the scene as the car ended up on its roof where the bike impacted it http://www.dn.se/content/1/c6/15/89/97/upplandsbrobil463.jpg
  23. RPS clutches kick ass!,Go and have a look at whifbits!
  24. Has anyone got pictures of it when it was at HIN as I can remember seeing the roof pealing like an orange then,That would be somewhere to start then as all the shows were dated to be able to show how long it took to get to the state that its in
