  1. Best to do a search if you want to know where to get longer studs from. The place where I got mine closed down and they weren't made by a known manufacturer. Next time I would get some from a company who specialise in making stuff like this, I recall a member getting some from the US. H & R ?

    You're welcome.
  3. I wasn't sure what Michel meant at first but do you mean for example like the nuts in the pic where the tapered seat is located at approximately half way along the nut rather than being at the end. I have these fitted on my Volk GTC wheels. Not provided with new wheels?
  4. I fitted longer studs for my Volk GTC's. Which model Volk did you go for? p.s. Why bold? ( If I don't ask somone else will).
  5. Very funny lol His minders were a bit slow.
  6. Did you see the smoke, they diagnosed a blown cylinder head gasket.
  7. You do realise that some J spec cars came from the factory with big brakes ( uk spec brakes)? The spec of a J spec car can vary significantly. My J spec car came with: (I was very fortunate) VVTI engine 6 speed gearbox Big brakes (uk spec) Toyota original side skirts and spats Toyota reas suspension Leather recaro's Carbon fibre steering wheel
  8. Bear in mind that the UK spec Supra could be cheaper to insure, other than that I would go for the car which is in the best condition and obviously one that you like the most. If you look at the J spec cars you'll find that they don't all come from the factory the same, ie brakes, leather seats (recaro's on some), side skirts etc. All UK spec cars have the big brakes, some J spec cars have them too.
  9. A drunk driver who killed a father and son was pleasuring himself at the wheel moments before the fatal crash, a court heard today. The court heard that Hussain's erect penis was exposed when motorists came to his aid after the crash. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/jail-for-sex-act-death-crash-driver-1057518.html I hope it's not a repost, I did check.
  10. I don't trust dealers at all, especially ones that don't show the cars parked on their own their own premises. If you have any doubts at all then look elsewhere.

    You've got to consider the offset aswell. The stock Supra wheel is 8" wide with an offset of 50mm. The wheels on Ebay have an offset of 35mm, so the wheel will be moving 15mm towards the wheel arch, because the wheel is 1" wider it will move an additional 1/2" towards the wheel arch. So in total you're moving the wheel 27.7mm closer to the wheel arch.
  12. My dad has had his Mondeo 2.2 TDCI for three years - not one single problem!!!!!!!!!!! Even wear right across the tyre on my dad's car! Not on my dad's car!
  13. I go on their website to check out the weekend weather forecast in the lake district. A fell top assessor goes to the top of Helvellyn every day in the winter months to check out the conditions including wind, snow and ice for a crucial weather service. Can anyone recognise the ridge, I've been along it to the top of Helvellyn on numerous occasions. (I'm scared of heights so I have to push myself)

    How stupid can you get.
  15. They do have a reputation for making cars like this, but Corvette's certainly can go around corners very quickly. I've driven my brother's C5 Z06. Did you see Top Gear a few weeks ago when they were over in the US? A Corvette ZR1 would be at the top of my shopping list if I won the lottery.
  16. What a collection, the Supra looks immaculate!
  17. A bloke has had his Golf GTI stolen. Help needed to track down the thief. Photo's , description etc on the Ebay Advert. Stolen from a petrol station in Wormley, Hertfordshire. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270314915699 .
  18. The annoyance of threads being locked just when they get interesting, little num - you're a very immature idiot!
  19. Drivers who turn right at a roundabout whilst being in the left lane, it drives me mad.
  20. Therefore to purchase a front UK spec caliper without returning to them your old caliper it will cost £188.80, not £128.80.
  21. Another totally pointless thread! Who cares how you eat your creme egg?

    Flyers?

    There should be an option in your printer menu box that allows you do print the same image twice on one page. You could always use photoshop or a smilar product to copy and paste the map twice on to a blank canvas and then print it out.

    advice needed

    http://www.thor-racing.co.uk/Electronic-186.asp Refurbish the existing caliper or buy a functioning second hand one.
  24. That's true,we're all different. My sister has all the dvd's and has probably watched every single episode numerous times.
