  1. Hamilton's main concern at the first corner I think would be Alonso, I would be giving Kovalainen instructions to protect Hamilton if he can at the first few corners. I just hope it's all clean racing with no reckless overtaking manoeuvres.
  2. The same here, I'll be so nervous watching it as its so easy to make an error especially as rain looks likely. Massa is a really nice bloke. I hope Kovalainen crashes into Alonso at the first corner.

    My boys

    They're lovely, you can't help but smile.
  4. It happened with my fuel gauge, I cannot say exactly what the problem was. Have you tried putting the needles on when they aren't at the max or min position, ie when the car is warmed up and the fuel level is somewhere in between max and min. I actually removed the fuel pump hanger and float so I could simulate different fuel levels by moving the float. Make sure that the needle shaft is free to rotate and not rubbing on the dial faces, in the end I removed the original dial face and just fitted my el glo dial face on by itself instead of fitting it over the top of the original.

    370z mmmm

    I like the flared wheel arches.
  6. I see now, I suppose this bit is the clue. "In view of current developments in the banking market" doh me
  7. This a copy of a letter that you're sending to your bank manager? If so, why show us as you're not asking anything.

    Made me laugh

    The little kids are funny.
  10. Part number: 90915-20004 Yes, it's a little larger than the stock one. Personally I wouldn't buy a TRD filter as they're too expensive and unnecessary.
  11. The offset should be okay but the design of the wheel has to allow for clearance over the brakes depending on what you have of course. A wheel supplier should confirm fitment for your car.
  12. Are you sure that the locking nut kit is made by Kahn?
  13. Allen key to undo the cover bolts, think it might be 5mm. 10mm hex socket and extension to undo the coilpacks and lead clips. Spark plug socket (I always forget the size as it's the smaller one in my set) and longish extension with wrench. A half decent socket set should include everything you need. Tip: You'll see two ventilation hose that cross over the top of the plugs/leads, the rubber will have hardened if they haven't been replaced for a while. Heating them up with a hot hairdryer will make them more plyable and much easier to remove, a good opportunity to replace them but this isn't always essential. Only do one spark plug at a time so you don't get the leads mixed up. When you're screwing in a new plug initially just use your hand with the extension and socket and not the wrench, this should ensure that you don't forcibly cross thread the plug. When you do tighten it with the wrench don't over tighten.
  14. Get rid of them both . Jonathan Ross has overstayed his time and his show has become very dull, a good opportunity to get rid of him and his band of poofs.
  15. At first I thought it would be a good game but all the significant numbers that you remember are relatively low so most of other numbers and pictures require the use of a search engine which makes the game rather boring and pointless.
  16. It should still fit on if you have the first catalyst or decat pipe fitted, the location of the two flanges between the first and second sections of the cats/decats should be the same. I can only think that the bracket might be fouling slightly. The design of the bracket that you mention was revised by Toyota to make it stronger and for that reason it looks as if it is necessary if you have both cats fitted as they're obviously heavier than decat pipes.
  17. I would insist on receiving a deposit from the buyer and that should filter out the time wasters. Personally I would have allowed bidding aswell starting at maybe £12,000 or a little more.
  18. That's good of you, I couldn't help but feel sorry for the little mouse.
  19. 16" wheels should be 8" front , 9" rear. Check out the section "Brakes" near the bottom of the page. http://mkiv.supras.org.nz/specs.htm
  20. Yes, I would be looking at the general condition of the car as it's easier to recognise if the car has been looked after properly. 150k miles isn't a problem at all if it's been regularly serviced.
  21. A humane mouse trap? They're only £3 and they don't hurt the mouse, you can release it elsewhere.
