  1. LOL Looking forward to the first race to see which teams are at the front, impossible to tell now. Williams could well do okay with the Cosworth engine.
  2. No, it's 870 BHP. That's Midland F1 Racing fcked then!
  3. Sugababes - Push The Button I'm getting old.
  4. 4OK . I wouldn't even pay half that. CJ's car looked nicer!
  5. Quick! Ask Ibrar, he's online now!
  6. Check this thread out, Ibrar is the forum wheel/tyre expert. http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=29064&highlight=30mm+offset
  7. So you agree with animals being ripped apart for the fun of it then?
  8. Looks nice and shiny, need to polish mine.
  9. Depends on the tyre aswell really. Not sure how accurate this is, you can enter all of the variables and it wil give you an answer. Supra Tyre fitment.xls
  10. With some aftermarket wheels the spokes of the wheel won't clear the larger Uk brakes. So to get them to fit you need to put a spacer inbetween the wheel and the hub, maybe 3 or 5mm. This will bring the wheel out a little. This isn't particularly good to do . If you fit the 17" wheels you'll need to remove them which is a good thing. The 17" stock wheels are the perfect fitment for the Supra providing a good fit and better handling. Here's a typical universal wheel spacer: http://www.professionalracersemporium.com/images/uwheelspacer[1]_small.jpg
  11. Nice one Mr Bull! Makes my blood boil when I see scumbags hurting any animals, it really upsets me. How on earth their government is still allowing this in full view of the world .
  12. Connecting the RLTC doesn't automatically disable the factory unit, they don't operate the same way. The standard TC doesn't give you the popping sound but the RLTC can. The standard TC reduces the air supply to the engine and you lose a significant amount of power. The RLTC works much quicker and often will not give the standard TC a chance to operate . You should feel the RLTC working when you've got it on the wet setting, but on the dry setting it's not so noticeable. I switch off the standard traction control everytime I get in the car.
  13. I bought a new Micromaxx (same as the Medion one) for £140 inclu del from Ebay. This seller is always got them: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Micromaxx-Satellite-Navigation-PDA-Pocket-PC-NEW_W0QQitemZ5865636733QQcategoryZ294QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
  14. Not on the Supra, but on other cars I have. Is he talking about the first cat to turbo elbow? At the 1st cat to 2nd cat flange you have have bolt/nuts, it doesn't matter if the they just shear off, they are easily replaced.
  15. Just drill them through and use some new bolts and nuts.

    Hello

    Yes, you should get a decent car for that. But like Hadyn said, more likely an auto as the manual cars are rarer and a little more expensive. Definately a buyers market at the moment, there's been loads of cars coming up for sale on here and they aren't selling particularly quickly so the prices are dropping.
  18. Yes The TRL ones are popular.

    Wheels.

    The flat face on the wheel where it goes on the hub to the centre line of the wheel. http://www.usacomp.com/terms.htm On some wheels the offset is marked on the inside somewhere For example ET40 (positive) or ET-20 (negative)
  20. http://www.mclaren.co.uk/interactive/photo-gallery/mp4-21/2006_Team_McLaren_Mercedes-Front_Three_Quarter.jpg
  21. They look horrible! Nothing good about them at all. Other people in their cars would be thinking , what a plonker!

    xenon lights

    Easy to fit, connecting the cables up is easy. Do a search on here, there are some traders selling these . Fellow members have bought them and have found them good. Don't just buy any kit, some aren't that good. Get a recommendation!
