  2. You're not kidding, if the spring had come straight through the visor it could well have killed him.
  3. I'm not sure what you mean by "not smooth" ? It's an excellent gearbox to use, you only get a little clonking when moving very slowly when you're using the clutch.
  4. Use the sat nav to calibrate the speedo by pulling off the needle and repositioning it.
  5. £9.19 at Machine Mart http://www.machinemart.co.uk/shop/product/details/cht222-ball-joint-remover
  6. The Lexus dealer in Kiribati.
  7. If you've got stock factory wheels you'll more than likely need different nuts, most aftermarket alloys use nuts with a 60 degree tapered seat. The first ones in the link below are used on the stock wheel. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Toyota-alloy-wheel-nuts-Mr2-Celica-Supra-Yaris-Corolla_W0QQitemZ290294884796QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM?hash=item4396ec69bc&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=65%3A12%7C66%3A2%7C39%3A1%7C72%3A1683%7C293%3A1%7C294%3A50 Nearly all aftermarket alloys use nuts like the ones below. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/20-ALLOY-WHEEL-NUTS-TOYOTA-AVENSIS-COROLLA-CAMRY-MR2_W0QQitemZ150354957933QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM?hash=item2301da966d&_trksid=p4634.c0.m14.l1262&_trkparms=%7C293%3A1%7C294%3A30
  8. You would of thought that there would be very little room for the head to go backward and to cause fatal injuries.
  9. Driving a newish supercar sounds like a great day out. Nice cars, especially the blue Gallardo.

    Vodka

    Pour the Vodka over your head to hit the scalp infection directly and then you won't have to drink it.
  11. 12. Some of those questions were ridiculous. The number of children and young people up to the age of 19 in the UK is: 13, 14. 15 or 16 million . How on earth would someone know that?
  12. Just like the one that was on Top Gear and Fifth Gear on Monday.
  13. Unfortunately there isn't a fixed location for the immobiliser wires unless it was installed by Toyota when the car was new.
  14. The stock Supra RSP blue would make the car look newer and original.
  15. I remember for my breakfast when I was away camping I had 8 weetabix, a banana and a mars bar. Custard doughnuts are my favourite.
  16. I hope you get it sorted soon, it's so frustrating to have problems like this.
  17. If I had fitted a vvti engine into a SZ-R Supra I wouldn't be 100% confident of reading fault codes accurately until I confirmed that the engine installation with associated parts was proved to be perfect first. I'm not saying that it hasn't been installed properly but that's where I would suspect the problem would lie. Also, fault codes can be misleading too as I don't think they distinguish between a faulty component and a simple bad connection which I had on my car.
  18. Thanks Simon. Back up to 6th, it's about time Hamilton got some good points.
  19. Is this happening with all of the coils? What about the igniter? Do you have a workshop manual, this site is useful? http://www.turbosupras.com/pages/pages/technical/jza80/a80tsrm.htm
  20. It sounds like the dealer is telling lies. But the mileage is always recorded by the mot station so I'm not sure how someone could get away with clocking the car, obviously it could be done between mot's.
  21. Any updates to the league, I don't think I'll be going up?
  22. I can live without them and don't you know that they slow you down.

    F1 Theme tune?

    Yes, it's not right at the start of the song. I've got their DVD "The Dance" , absolutely top rate quality live performance.
