  1. Hilarious thread - a great distraction from work! I've slowly nurtured my g/f to accept that I have to mod my cars ... although she does often say that I'm wasting my money! But in her heart of hearts, she loves the Supe, and she accepts that she would probably be similarly inclined to do the same if she had one!
  2. Great news Chris! I'll give you a ring later today ... Getting back on-topic - Oulton Park was featured on Top Gear (latest episode) with James May & Jackie Stewart chucking around a rather tasty TVR ... looks like a great circuit! Just a bit too far for me, especially with Castle Coombe nearby ...
  3. Completely off-topic, but, any news on the SMIC front?
  4. Hehe, that would mean he'd have to pay me somewhere in the region of £150-200! ... But I do quite like the spoiler!
  5. Cheers for the responses guys, however pessimistic! Hmmmm, maybe it would be more prudent to try and repair the spoiler? What do you guys think? I haven't actually disclosed the full story (for anyone who's interested! ) My rear window got tinted last weekend - the VERY HONEST guy actually told me before I got back to pick the car up that he may have caused a crack in said spoiler ... ... We chatted and I hadn't paid him for the work - and he said he would be willing to replace it. So its been left at that ... what to do?
  6. Hi guys, The high-level OEM spoiler that sits on top of the rear windscreen has cracked on my car Where is the cheapest place that I can buy a new (or as new) one from (in black ... or are they always in black) ?? Any traders on here able to source one cheaply cheaply? Thanks in advance ...
  7. Having bought the RLTC unit that was in HiSupe's car I can vouch that it does what is says on the tin AFAIK HiSupe hit a rather large oil slick right in the middle of a roundabout ... RLTC relies on traction, but he had none in that instance As others have said, with the right config file (expertly tweaked by Terminator) RLTC works very well indeed. Driving in the wet becomes a pleasure rather than being in constant paranoia that you're going to lose the back end at any point! I'd give it a hearty
  8. Very cool mate! Might get on Super Mario 64 tonight for a bit of nostalgia ...!

    good morning

    Stuck at work with a bloody fever ... Actually, dunno why I came to work!
  10. TBH I would have thought a Type R vs Supra NA straight line drag to be damn close - if both were stock. 0-60 figures are practically neck and neck, but can't find any real data on 60-140ish though ...
  11. OMG !! /vbb/images/smilies/bbcode_shock.gif If he's got a tracker - has it been tracked yet? Haven't been to the Pod yet but is this sort of thing 'commonplace' there? Was planning on going up for JapShow ....
  12. Blimey mate, I always thought sticking the auto-box into neutral whilst in motion was always a no-no??
  13. Hilarious clip of a poor girl being medicined by bass! (sound is needed for this clip!) http://videos.streetfire.net/video/2CF741C3-89BF-4192-80DA-C68768F41D3E.htm
  14. Hmmmm, could be a bargain mate!
  15. What a bunch of humourless idiots at that radio station!
  16. ... It's been an emotional day! (throws nail in the bin)
  17. Hehe ... know the feeling well! Had a sick starter motor about 6 months ago before it gave up on me ... one week later and she was back on the road and my boy was I :D:D'ing
  18. Ahh shucks, tried doing a search on here to see if it had been - couldn't find it! ... Priceless mate!
  19. need some advice on what could be a life changing decision. Thanks in advance guys. I've suspected for some time now that my girlfriend has been having an affair. The usual signs. Phone rings, I answer, someone hangs up. She started going out 'with the girls' a lot recently although when I ask which girls it is always "Just some friends from work, you don't know them". I always look out for her taxi coming home but she always walks down the drive although I can hear a car setting off. As if she has got out of the car round the corner. Why? Is it not a taxi? I once picked her mobile up just to see what time it was and she went beserk and screamed that I should never touch her phone again and why was I checking up on her. Anyway, I have never approached the subject with my g/f. I think deep down I just didn't want to know the truth but last night she went out again and I decided to check on her. I decided I was going to hide behind my car which would give me a view of the whole street so I could see which car she gets out of. It was whilst crouched behind my car that I noticed A nail in my tyre. Should I get a new tyre or just get this one repaired?
  20. Get the Greddy Titanium mate! I bought it a year ago, brand new, for £600 - and its probably the best money I've spent on the Supe so far! Sounds splendid at WOT, and quite well behaved at idle
  21. ... A japanese newspaper and a pair of sealed chopsticks from mine! ...
  22. Not looking promising then? Damn, thought I was onto a great cheapskate idea!
  23. I'm gonna be upgrading the Jspec fronts to UK spec soon ... and I was wondering, is it technically possible to use the old front calipers and replace the backs with them? I mean, the UK spec rears are 2 pot, same as Jpsec fronts, aren't they? Probably impossible, but worth an ask ...!
  24. Hiya mate, That might've been me! It's a fully decatted TT Nothing like a bit of A40 to wake you up in the morning!
