  2. The use of a Kinetic Energy Recovery System should be interesting, I didn't realise that it's only optional. Will there be a distinct advantage in having "Kers" considering the weight and fitting space, will they sacrifice fuel tank volume or are the components relatively compact ? Quite a few variables to consider. It would be great to have this system on a car especially with all the cars on the road now, traffic lights, roundabouts etc when all the kinetic energy in the car is just wasted when you have to stop and accelerate again.
  3. I suppose that's rewarded drivers for consistently finishing in the points like Kubica but it can also lead to the lack of overtaking, eight points for second place is just too much.

    19" rims

    The diameter of the wheel has got nothing to do with it, offsets obviously do and width but if you choose the right tyres you won't have any problems at all.
  5. Yes, check that first. The height of the damage above the ground, paint colour etc.
  6. They should never have started giving the second place driver eight points.
  7. I'm not surprised that are MFI in trouble as the few times I've been in the store in recent years there's barely been anyone in the place. A shame about Woolworths, it was a very popular shop when I was young.
  8. Despicable. It's impossible to apportion blame when we obviously don't know all of the facts!
  9. It's nice to have luxury and power.
  10. Yes, get it refurbished. I dread to think the cost of a new one.
  11. I'm relieved that I got it wrong.
  12. I'm pleased Martin Brundle will be part of the new commentary team. Definately, he's so irritating. We'll have to wait and see what Jake Humphrey is going to be like. . .
  13. Fit a 1 bar restrictor ring or there abouts and use your right foot to control the boost if you want less by taking your foot off the accelerator.
  14. Personally I prefer oil temp to oil pressure. It's nice to have an idea of when the engine is warmed up, the water temp gauge is of little use for this. Won't there be a warning for low oil pressure on the Supra anyway?
  15. Oxygen sensor I'm not sure if this applies to the NA car aswell as the TT. I had a look in the workshop manual but I couldn't find anything on the oxygen sensor for the NA, just the TT. Intake air temp below: .
  16. Nice cat, so relaxed and not a care in the world.
  17. Injection pump timing? Injectors?

    toad alarms

    You'll need your PIN number, this procedure will disarm the alarm.
  19. I recorded it. I was thinking about transferring it from my DVD hard drive onto the computer and hosting it somewhere but I've never done this before, I'm not sure if I've got a cable. To be honest you're not missing much, no commentary whatsoever when the cars were being driven, no indication of who was driving which car, just a lot of unknown cars being driven around a circuit.
  20. Me four. Does thst make it better and faster then?
