  1. Ibrar's car is without any doubt the best looking car I've seen on here, very tastefully done
  2. It's got to be homemade, my mother made some lovely lentil soup yesterday with warm and fresh homemade bread too. What an interesting topic!
  3. What a shot. Federer makes it look so easy.
  4. I cannot believe at all that it was a conspiracy. Far too many people would have to be involved to make it work like it did and to keep them all quiet wouldn't be possible in my opinion. But I am surprised with all these programmes on the tv about 911 that I've seen, the passengers and crew on the planes that crashed into the twin towers and the Pentagon never get as much as a mention.
  5. I don't know what the caue was. Nissan cars are normally reliable, I'm not sure if their vans have the same reputation.
  6. A work colleague had a W reg Nissan Vanette, 100,000 on the clock. The heater matrix had to be replaced and the driveshaft fell off. Do you know where the engine is located, it would put me off because of it's inaccessibility?
  7. The car weights. I haven't got a clue who's favourite. It's always nice to be at the front of the grid but not so good when you've got less fuel. Mclaren said it may rain a little during the race too. 1. Lewis Hamilton, McLaren, 653.5kg 2. Adrian Sutil, Force India, 655 3. Kimi Raikkonen, Ferrari, 662 4. Heikki Kovalainen, McLaren, 683 5. Rubens Barrichello, Brawn GP, 688.5 6. Jenson Button, Brawn GP, 687 7. Vitantonio Liuzzi, Force India, 679.5 8. Fernando Alonso, Renault, 677.5 9. Sebastian Vettel, Red Bull, 682 10. Mark Webber, Red Bull, 683 11. Jarno Trulli, Toyota, 703 12. Romain Grosjean, Renault, 699.8 13. Robert Kubica, BMW Sauber, 697.5 14. Giancarlo Fisichella, Ferrari, 690 15. Nick Heidfeld, BMW Sauber, 697.5 16. Timo Glock, Toyota, 709.8 17. Kazuki Nakajima, Williams, 706.2 18. Nico Rosberg, Williams, 708.6 19. Sebastien Buemi, Toro Rosso, 706 20. Jaime Alguersuari, Toro Rosso, 706

    Sky HD

    I've had a letter too but that was a couple of years ago. The box in my bedroom hasn't had a telephone line connected for the last year or so and Sky haven't done anything.
  9. I can't see the market getting any better for selling a Supra. Definately, I would always avoid trading a car in as they'll give you well below the private selling price.
  10. Nic hasn't been very well recently. http://mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=193521
  11. I must've missed that bit, I did see them hanging out of the windows.
  12. ha ha I bet there aren't that many of us on here that've driven the Supra on stock wheels so wouldn't be aware of the difference between wheels designed for the car and those that aren't. Going fast in a straight line is good enough for me. Almost time for my medication too.
  13. Don't say you're going to pant them bright red or silver.
  14. I wouldn't say that 95% or more of us on here have junk wheels. I agree totally if you want to optimise handling but most of us will never go near a track or push the car anywhere near it's limits on country roads.
  15. I painted the bell part of the disc with Hammerite barbecue paint in matt black - they look stupid if painted with gloss paint. http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10151&storeId=10001&partNumber=363754&langId=-1&cm_mmc=Googlebase-_-Body%20Repair/Other%20Paints-_-Na-_-Hammerite%20Barbecue%20Paint%20Aerosol%20400ml&%24%24tid=8tZtg-gwS4MOVvVYsYU9W3LPKZWlgI_DkFEJ7UuMDPv63yDozmB83YzONbUv77PN
  16. Drill a hole through at the ends of the crack, this will reduce the stress significantly.
  17. Unfortunately with you being honest and describing them as "flat and dull looking, but no kerbing" will reduce their appeal I'm afraid. I would take some decent pics of each wheel and ask for offers to made if anyone is interested, if you don't get what you want then try on another forum that have cars that these will fit. If that doesn't work then try ebay.
  18. The one below is also a top speed delimeter which removes the 112mph limit which is on the imported Supra. http://www.thor-racing.co.uk/Digital_Speedo_Converter-DSC.asp I can only think of the previous mot's as the mileage should be recorded.
  19. From page 11 for the front. From page 42 for the rear. http://www.turbosupras.com/pdfs/JZA80%20TSRM/SA.pdf
  20. I'm too far away as usual, congratulations.

  22. That's strange, when I looked at your post there weren't any pics either, just little red crosses. When I reinserted the url of the images from the original source your pics reappeared too. Probably nothing wrong with the original url.
  23. Is it one of these very large fashionable watches that you see people on the tv wearing like the one below? I'ts not fake either, 9cm across. http://nexus404.com/Blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/04/seriously-large-japanese-musk-wrist-watch.jpg http://nexus404.com/Blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/04/seriously-large-japanese-musk-wrist-watch-detail.jpg
