  1. I'm not sure, here's a bump. Personally I would've just bought the Toyota ones, I know thery're not cheap but you need them to do the job properly and you wouldn't want the hastle of having to fit them later on if the Nissan/Honda ones fail.

    hooray

    Where they hiding it from you then?
  3. £5 at Toyota, that's not my hand! If I knew that they were like these before ordering two then I wouldn't have bothered.
  4. The prices are scanadalous, car manufacturers just charge whatever they like for dealer parts such as these knowing that most of the time you cannot obtain them elsewhere.
  5. What a shambles! I had the highest score on Curveball of about 27-28K , I've been at the top of the list for months! Now my name and score have disappeared into thin air. What's the point in having a genuine go at the games if people are going to cheat? You may aswell remove the arcade altogether!
  6. I saw a good programme on the TV a few months ago, a bloke put diesel in his petrol engined vehicle. It blocked the fuel filter. Haven't you got this the wrong way around? Putting petrol in a diesel vehicle is much worse than doing it the other way around, petrol is less dense (not as thick) as diesel .
  7. I don't think there's been any tests done to establish which is best, just like intercoolers and other stuff. We could all be wasting our money.
  8. Difficult one. Maybe you should've pulled into the bus lane, if he used that lane I think he would've been concerned that you would move over to the left and hit him. Less chance of an accident if he stayed in the outside lane I think.
  9. I use the Lexus V8 one. Better than the stock one and not as expensive as the TRD filters.
  10. Diesel can definately block fuel filters designed for petrol.
  11. Yep, see the post previous to yours.
  12. What a description! Does it look like this? http://www.blitz-uk.co.uk/ProductItem-164.aspx If so, that's the gasket that fits between the two sections of the Nur Spec R. Exhaust assembly paste is good to use where you don't have gaskets, I also put a little on each side of the gaskets that I do have.
  13. I didn't realise it was just the 2nd cat replacement pipe. The 1st pipe is different.

    Warning signal

    It hasn't got one of those. What does the warning light look like, the handbook doesn't show a picture of the warning lights together?

    Rims needed

    To say those are massive is an understatement!
  16. Thanks! I'll be doing the clutch myself next weekend.

    F 1

    Some of drivers have said this, I think it's just a reason they have to explain their lack of performace compared to their teammate. I was just pointing out the fact that you won't automatically be a winner if you're in the best car, you do need talent too . The fact that you've been in motorsport since a young age doesn't automatically mean you'll be a champion.

    F 1

    Did you watch it ? There's still a lot of natural talent involved, compare Alonso with Fisichella, Schumacher with Barrichello, Mansell with Patrese etc. All team mates with the same car! p.s. Lewis Hamilton is the first driver to have three consecutive podiums in their first three F1 races, it's not hype.
  19. I've got boost, oil temp and A/F ratio. I think these are the best ones to go.
  20. Whifbitz sell them , I would check all the traders on here. http://www.whifbitz.co.uk/supra-exhausts.html
  21. I cannot understand why people hate cats, or any animals . I think they can sense you don't like them, like most animals and they behave accordingly!

    F 1

    You wouldn't think it was his first season in F1, it's nice to see a British driver doing so well. It's a pity we've got to wait four weeks for the next race though.

    New Dials

    Some say you don't have to remove the needles , but I know for sure that I had to on my facelift car. You shouldn't have to remove the stops, the new dials should go over them. Make a note of the fuel level and the revs at tickover and the water temp when normal. Then pull them off, the speedo one is more difficult to replace in the correct position. You'll have to do it whilst driving and use a reference to get it right (another car , Tom Tom etc).
