  1. For this alone you've got to do something, any civilised person doesn't talk like this. Fill his exhaust with expanding foam!
  2. Shouldn't it be " Ni " for number "2" ? Tell me I'm wrong.

    Only in America

    LOL The guy with the shorter arms didn't have a chance.
  4. The ones I got took a little modifying to get them right.
  5. You might still have the small battery type which they used in Japan - I did. Best to check if you've got the normal size battery post connections or the smaller ones, you may need to change the battery terminal clamps for larger ones too. Also, get the correct replacement battery for the Supra . (physical size) The one I got was too high and I had to modify the strap which holds it down.

    Smic

    None of the SMIC 's available have been tested to give a comparison so it's impossible to know which is best. Choose between Chris Wilson , Miami GT and Toyota. I got one from Chris Wilson, it works!!! . He's got a good reputation which helped me decide.
  7. Lovely wheels, one of the best looking cars I've seen on here!
  8. Discussed again recently, don't connect it to the BOV. http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=89050

  10. Why would you need a flex additive? The plastic is quite rigid and it's only going to move if you catch it on something you shouldn't . It wouldn't do any harm to use some though. I've got mine done.
  11. Only............... more difficult now:eyebrows:
  12. It's quite obvious you don't understand my point. They won't cut corners but the Supra was never built as a no expense spared car either, cost and availability are always a factor. The point I'm making is that there are other things to consider when making a choice for 17" wheels, not just handling. That's why if a MKV Supra is ever built it's likely to have at least 19" wheels and I'm sure it'll handle superbly too.
  13. No he's not! They didn't fit 17" instead of 19" purely because of handling issues. Other factors dictated their decision too, including availabilty and cost.
  14. I haven't got a clue, it's the one Matt Harwood mentioned earlier. Definately worth watching though.
  15. Not totally. I'm sure Toyota could've designed the Supra to work well on 19's but in the 1990's I doubt they were even available and the trend then was to have smaller wheels compared to recent times. I agree they won't handle aswell, but how many of us push the car to such an extent to notice this on public roads.
  16. It was in 1993 , Tiff Needell tested the UK car .
  17. Bare - This game is fantastic, really stimulates the brain!!!!
  18. I can imagine it would be easy to fall this.

    Vx220

    I had a sit in one at the local dealer , the seat was so uncomfortable and was digging right into my back.
  20. You kept that quiet! Any chance you could put it on here please , I would love to see it again.
  21. I know of somone who removed the sponge pudding from the tin and then put it in the boiling water!
  22. I've just switched from Orange to Virgin and taken my number with me. How do I access my voicemail, I hold down the "1" button and it starts to connect to voicemail then I get a message saying - "Conditional Forwarding Voicemail" Then the call ends. Any idea? Thanks
  23. http://img83.exs.cx/img83/8710/boost.jpg The hose marked in red goes to my boost gauge. The sensor with the green label on top(turbo pressure sensor), I pulled the hose from this and connected a couple of inches of new hose onto the sensor. Connect all 3 ends with a T piece: 1. Existing hose which you pulled off the sensor. 2. New hose (2 inches) which you've just fitted to the sensor. 3. New hose which runs to your boost gauge. Can you see the T piece (it's white) and the three hoses?
