  1. Unbelievably reckless driving. The poor passenger in the taxi.
  2. I lost any respect I had for him after the way he dealt with the Suarez situation. Since then I've wanted Liverpool to lose every single game they played.
  3. All I get is a little clonk when going from reverse to 1st gear and vice versa, it doesn't bother me in the least as it's not the sort of noise that irritates. I'm sure others will agree with this. The clutch isn't in the least bit heavy in my opinion, I've never noticed any difference between the Supra clutch and the clutch on any other car including all sorts of family cars.
  4. I cannot belief you have no choice other than spending £200 a rail .
  5. The stewards found his car did not have sufficient fuel onboard to comply with the rules on its return to parc ferme. In a press briefing ahead of the stewards' investigation, McLaren team principal Martin Whitmarsh revealed the car had 1.3 litres left in the tank when it stopped on track. The FIA requires one litre for a fuel sample, but Article 6.6.2 - which was introduced after Hamilton stopped on track at the 2010 Canadian Grand Prix in similar circumstances - also requires the car to return to the pits under its own power. The stewards deemed that Hamilton did not have sufficient fuel to do so and McLaren accepted the verdict. What a disaster. http://www.formula1.com/news/headlines/2012/5/13340.html
  6. Do a diagnostic test to check for fault codes. http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?35920-How-To-Check-the-diagnostics-codes
  7. You don't need wide wheels/tyres on the front other than to make it aesthetically pleasing. But 7.5" is a little narrow.
  8. Just fit some hid's, or don't bother if you don't go out in the dark.
  9. What's the worst they can do if it's not them? Get the Parcelforce number from their website, ring them up and they'll probably ask for your name and address.
  10. It might be a good idea to let us see the template. It should just show the relative dimensions between the hub and caliper similar to this one for the larger Uk spec brakes.
  11. Yes. I would be telling the police straight away, I don't think there's much choice really. Imagine if you didn't do anything and he smashed into another car, cyclist, pedestrian etc. Much better going down to the police station and speaking to someone face to face.
  12. When my dad was being looked after when he had cancer they had a fully adjustable electric bed, there was also an air filled mattress with multiple pockets with a controller/pump that would alternate which pockets were inflated so your weight wasn't pressing down on the same part of the body all night. They're not cheap to buy though. When he was at home the Macmillan nurse arranged for a memory foam type full depth mattress to be loaned to us from the Community Equipment Service place, plastic coated and cleaned regularly so you don't have to worry about it not been hygienic, we didn't have to paying for this.
  13. Definitely tell them this. I've seen on the tv the police waiting for people who've already been banned who they suspect are driving again, you cannot get much worse than drink driving.
  14. I decided to apply for a postal vote to make it easier and wouldn't have the excuse that I couldn't be bothered to go to the polling station, but they were put to one side when they came and I forgot all about it. If I was in a marginal constituency I would definitely vote but Labour have always had a massive majority (North East England) so my vote never makes any difference. I know if everyone said this, but they don't.
  15. :p 2 goals from Cisse, the second one was superb.
  16. If you're that desperate you could always use a small led bike light, they're very compact nowadays. My El glow dials stopped working some time ago. I haven't got around to looking for the fault as the car is off the road.
  17. They do exist but you cannot find them by searching for their part number, they're on toyodiy.com and also in my epc. I found them by doing a search for "harness" which located 4 parts. If you click on any of them it will take you to page 1 of 10 pages, they were on page 7. If you want to confirm that they do exist then just do a search for the part number on Google etc.
  18. I've found the brackets that hold the wiring harnesses, no indication of where they're located. You may have to be logged in to see the diagrams. http://www.toyodiy.com/parts/p_J_1997_TOYOTA_SUPRA_JZA80-ALFQZ_8202.6.html
  19. I mostly want all the teams who have billionaire owners who spent ridiculous amounts on players and wages to lose, Man City are top of the list
  20. Nice dogs, you can't help but smile.
  21. What about trying to work backwards from the warning light. If you're trying to stop it illuminating it may not be such a good idea as warning lights like this are set up up to illuminate when you put the ignition on to show they're all functioning correctly, a mot tester may spot that it's not working like it should.
