  1. Less than £30 Depends on how competent you are , if you haven't done much work on cars then get someone else to do it. If you get a garage to do it, don't let them use heat to remove the crank pulley!
  2. This is supposed to be a cross section of the front brake and hub, I came across this on here a while back. If it's accurate then you could send it to the seller.
  3. This tyre fitment chart was designed by someone on Supraforums. You can input the wheel sizes that you have. Not sure about them clearing the uk brakes. Looks like a 285/30 would be the max size on the rear with a rolled or cut wheel arch. Supra Tyre fitment.xls
  4. Here's the link http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ru=http%3A%2F%2Fsearch.ebay.co.uk%3A80%2Fsearch%2Fsearch.dll%3Ffrom%3DR40%26satitle%3D8073213972%26fvi%3D1&item=8073213972 A 35 offset is prettly low, not sure if I would fit 295's straight away. Have you asked on Supraforums if anyone has them?
  5. Of course I would support my UK neighbours. So what if a minority of people from Scotland, Ireland or Wales don't support us, it doesn't mean we've got to be a mindless ignorant bigot and do the same.
  6. Best to get a second opinion on these. Input 14 x 1.5 on the union nut. (Flared pipe) The output is a banjo bolt 12 x 1.25.

    Which brake discs?

    You don't need to upgrade the discs, the standard ones are fine. Get some upgraded pads, Chris Wilson does fast road pads. Braided lines and replace the fluid.
  8. You'll need to replace both cats with decat pipes and restrictor ring to limit to 1.2 bar. - approx £300. Colder plugs £11-£55 Fit boost gauge , large variation in price dependent on quality. Advisable to upgrade fuel pump - approx £95 Walbro 342
  9. I drive van! (red one). I would say in general the opposite is true.
  10. All J spec cars . Uk Auto 35000-1B330
  11. Very good, pleased it's worked for you. Need to get mine done now.
  12. Depends on the rest of the car aswell. Some look good without , others don't.
  13. I couldn't agree more! I've been about 8 or 9 times, hardly any improvement at all at the circuit for spectators since 1991. Most of the circuit has a flat viewing area made from broken up asphalt, unless you get right at the front or are 6' 6" tall it's very difficult to see. We had to get in 4 1/2 hours before the race to get a decent spot. Some parts have concrete terracing, they need these right around the circuit. The toilets are totally inadequate for the number of people wanting to use them. I'm leaving it a few years before I go back, a seat opposite the starting grid would be nice but they'll be very expensive.

    Dilemma

    A 355 or newer would be nice, but they're not cheap. An older model would look too dated for me and they're not exactly good value for money. Only worth it if you're loaded and you can afford the servicing aswell, quite a few of them require engine removal etc which you probably already know.
  15. It's the standard J spec pump, mine is identical ( same number )
  16. The GP2 race was more entertaining than the F1. It was hot!!!!
  17. Gold!! There's a black Supra that goes past the house quite often. The gold wheels look really really nice.
  18. Windmill farm for us, hope to get our usual spot next to the hedge. The weather's going to be hot!
  19. They came yesterday. Yeah plenty of beer here aswell, whisky too. Wished I had a fridge. Better start getting things ready, hope I don't forget anything. Forgot the tent pegs once, had to stop off in Northampton and look for a camping shop. :
  20. This one? http://miami-gt.co.uk/product_info.php/cPath/100_1_4/products_id/31?osCsid=ddc9803c1963a82853485af759e74a3c
  21. Just put some exhaust assembly paste on either side of the original gasket, any decent car accessory shop would have a few bolts.
  22. I can't even remember the last time it was foggy.

    Identify

    The doors are negatively switched. In the drivers footwell fuse box there's a wire that switches from +12v to 0v when the doors are open. On mine there was a blue connector at the very top left, 3 wires. The green wire switches to 0v. Best to check on yours though with a multi meter.
