  1. I like them all! No reason not to!
  2. LOL Had a sparrow before, pigeons are big. Throw an old towel over it to catch it if you haven't already.

    help needed

    It goes to the sensor which is on the power steering pump (at the front of the throttle body). The sensor has 2 hoses, the other one goes underneath the throttle body.
  4. Google is good. Took me about 5 seconds.
  5. Chris Wilson does fast road pads. A good improvement for the J spec brakes.
  6. You could ask this bloke on Supraforums from this recent post. It looks good. http://www.supraforums.com/forum/showthread.php?t=364688
  7. For BPU Remove both cats Cooler spark plugs Walbro fuel pump Fit fuel cut defender Fit restrictor ring to keep boost below 1.2 bar The noise is fanastic in enclosed spaces with high buildings on each side. 10w50 is fine, 5w/40 might be better for a cold winter but we don't get them very often.

    Towing

    Not sure about the Supra, but some auto cars can be towed if you restrict the speed and don't tow too far. Some need a little extra oil to be added before towing.
  9. Most of us who've done a double decat run a max of 1.2 bar. Even doing this will shorten their life.
  10. John, did you find out how to adjust it? I didn't realise that this was possible.
  11. The shape looks really nice looking down on it, massive wings.
  12. Here's a list of destinations and airlines that fly from Stansted, it follows that they'll fly the other way aswell. http://www.stanstedairport.com/portal/controller/dispatcher.jsp?Ch=Destinations+and+Airlines&ChID=0ed26d35771a2010VgnVCM100000147e120a____&ChPath=STN%5EFlight+Information%5EDestinations+and+Airlines&ChIDPath=4cf597dc2eb12010VgnVCM100000147e120a____%5E3f5797dc2eb12010VgnVCM100000147e120a____%5E0ed26d35771a2010VgnVCM100000147e120a____ airberlin.com flies from Manchester to Stansted http://www.airberlin.com/site/index.php?LANG=eng
  13. Hope they win it for England and their fans.

    Sad news

    Definately! I think we'll have to wait and see the result of the enquiry in this case.

    Sad news

    But you're not forced into doing anything different if you don't want to.

    Sad news

    Don't know what you mean? How is someone forced to speed.
  17. On the pads there's a small metal clip that scrapes against the disc to let you know the friction material is nearly all worn out.
  18. All red cars go pink if you don't polish them!
  19. I got some from Halfords too, they didn't exactly inspire confidence with mixing. They might have scales with the readout on the computer, but how on earth can they get the correct quantities if they pour the constituents in by hand! The stuff I got was too light. I've decided to go for the 2 pack paint instead, much more durable.
  20. I've just bought some 2 pack red paint, he had a colour card. There were 2 reds. I cannot get a perfect match.
  21. It must've changed on the later cars, mine had two 8mm or 10mm nuts to undo.
  22. I've got a 97 VVTI too and it failed on this . I had put both cats back in aswell. The CO level was about 9.4 I put a new oxygen sensor in and it passed, the plugs were very black!
  23. Yes, the needles do have to be removed! Took a few attempts to get them in the right place again, don't push them on too hard unless you're sure they're correct.
  24. Min 12K for a 2002. A TT would be 20K min.
