  1. Tuesday testing. Unofficial Tuesday times from Jerez: 1. Jenson Button, Brawn BGP 001, 1:17.844 2. Nico Rosberg, Williams FW31, 1:18.071 3. Nelson Piquet, Renault R29, 1:18.382 4. Lewis Hamilton, McLaren MP4-24, 1:19.121 I'm surprised that McLaren have had problems with their aerodynamics package. I suppose you've got no idea of how good it is until you can compare the car against the others in testing.
  2. It could be even worse. 17 races this year so the first driver to win 9 races, the earliest this could happen would be mid July. The old points system was better, 6 points for a second place.
  3. According to the epc the camshaft oil seals and the head gasket are the same. Check for yourself, the vvti TT was introduced in 9709 (Sept 97). http://www.toyodiy.com/parts/
  4. When cold. Toyota (other manufacturers too) when deciding on such things should realise that the vast majority of people without looking at a manual would check the oil level when cold, so the levels on the dipstick should be marked accordingly.
  5. Why don't you ask Rimstock, when I looked at the fitment guide for the Supra it does list the Jade R as one wheel that does fit. http://www.wheelwizards.net/rimstock/simplified.asp?manufacturer=Manu_Toyota&chassis=4552

    98 headlights!!

    Good price, you've just got to get rid of the orange blobs now.
  7. Have you had someone hold a rag over the end of the exhaust for a couple of seconds while you're looking for the leak?

    Ford cougar

    My brother owned a v6 one for around eight years. No mechanical problems, some rust on the sills though.

    axe alloys

    You want to know how much they weigh after you've bought them?
  10. I can't remember the last time I saw a stock colour green car on here, it was that long ago.
  11. You won't notice any difference. On a higher performance vehicle I would probably replace both.

    how too

  13. TT VVTI manual transmission 89661-14830 TT VVTI auto transmission 89661-14820 . . http://img78.exs.cx/img78/5471/98vvtiecupins7gr.jpg
  14. Hasn't reducing the speed limit on certain congested roads been proved to increase the flow of traffic?
  15. They're only slightly cheaper on ebay, £30 + vat appears to be quite reasonable. I would only replace the one that's broken on a van, not both.
  16. lol It's a long time since I've seen anything that funny. I wonder who was chasing him?
  17. I found this website last year when I was trying to figure out the gearing for the auto feed on our Denford lathe. http://www.lathes.co.uk/winfield/index.html
  18. The mileage can be a problem if you want to sell it, personally I wouldn't get that sort of car with a high mileage.
  19. 04311-12080 and 04313-17010 are the two part numbers, ignore the £500 bit - just joking about the price.
  20. May 93 to March 94 04311 - 12080 .. cylinder kit, clutch master May 93 to May 96 (5 speed gearbox) 04313 - 17010 .. cylinder kit, clutch release About £500 each.
  21. It's crossed my mind a few times to have an anonymous (the mods would know I bet) poll on here for these sort of people, I'm sure we wouldn't have members being 100% honest though.

    8 inches...

    You should be okay, I wouldn't use anything wider than a 265 on a 9" rim.
