Here's mine http://loaded.net/sup.jpg

Sorry about the late reply.... Any further advances on 110? Will sell tonight!

Hi there Yep I have and I need to shift them. Will consider anything over £100, offers in thread?

(3 x 17" UK-spec alloys) Hi there guys I purchased these a while ago, and unfortunately thanks to Parcel2Go they lost one!!! (which despite hundreds of phone calls they still haven't reimbursed me for). Anyway I've had enough of them sitting in my bedroom taking up space so they're up for sale. In great condition with a few surface marks. They do have tyres although I'm not sure how much wear they've got left... Will try and get them out of the boxes and take some photos. They'll need to be collected from Earls Court.. Offers? UPDATE: I've added the photos. The wheel missing is one of the smaller front ones. The tread is still good on one of the front's (Bridgestone Potenza), the rears are in need of replacement.

I have a FX5900 Ultra 128MB AGP card if you're interested...

If anyone's interested I have one of these for sale now! http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=230178522656

Ok guys, reduced to 110 including special delivery. This is a bargain!

heartinternet.co.uk for UK domains GoDaddy for your .com's, .net's and org's. I have about 500 domains and these are the cheapest I've found. There are plenty of Godaddy codes floating around out there for cheap renewals/registrations too...

Up for sale is a brand new 3rd gen 8GB iPod nano, these are capable of playing videos unlike the older ones and come even smaller. I think these are still hard to get hold of especially in black. Brand new, unopened with 1year warranty. Reduced to 115 quid posted special delivery

Hey Shane, Actually I've got myself a parking space at the Cromwell Road Sainsbury's these days so I tend not to park it on the street. I'm not getting rid of the Supra though, the Smart's just for the daily commute

On the topic of history checks... Is http://www.autocheck.co.uk (as advertised on PH) any worse than the AA/HPI? It's just they do 5 for 25 quid as opposed to 25 for 1 (and my friend is also buying a car so 5 might be handy...)

Hmm he does seem genuine and I've put down a deposit as they seem to go really quick and this one's a bit of a bargain. He's advertised it on PH and Autotrader.. Is there anything else I can do to put my mind at rest besides an HPI?

Hi there guys In the process of buying a Smart car for the daily commute. Have found a great example, the guy seems trustworthy etc but he is selling the car for a mate who has since left the country. Are there any precautions I should be taking before I hand over my cash? And also where is the best place to get a HPI check these days? Cheers! Francis

I have one that was taken off my car and replaced for a Fluidyne. Not in great condition but it was functional and not leaking when it came off... (UK spec manual)

Can anyone read Japanese and tell me where I can find a good one (staying in Shinjuku but can travel!)?

Hey there guys I'm currently in Tokyo - loving it, fantastic city! Just wondering if anyone's checked out the car scene here as I have no idea where to look - if so can you point me in the direction of some tuning shops that a Supe owner would find interesting? Cheers, Francis

Was going to offer a set of 3 mint ones, but you're already sorted! I bought mine on eBay too, and arranged to have them delivered through Parcel2Go. After weeks of failed pick ups they were eventually shipped and they lost one! Bloody typical, be careful if you get them shipped!

LOL yeah i remember having a few wobbly moments at about 90 leptons in the AA one LOL, seems like the perfect match for London living, the thought of driving the Supra in every day would drive me mad.. Yeah a quick look on PH and most of them are around 4k, at least they seem to hold their value I guess...

Hey guys. I need to get a run around when I get back from holiday as I'll be commuting daily from central London to Ealing daily.. My main concerns are that it is reliable, cheap to tax and run and v.good fuel economy. Performance or it being an auto doesn't really matter to me... Budget for the car is around 2k. The first thing that comes to mind is a Smart Car, anyone have any experiences with these? I have driven one in the past (AA supplied me with a bright yellow one when my CRX snapped it's cambelt) but are they ok with high mileage, reliable etc? The Supe will of course be going in to the garage for weekend use Anyway any thoughts greatly appreciated! Cheers, Francis

#!/bin/bash for i in `cat yourfile`; do echo "creating file for $i" touch file.$i done That what you're after?

I would say around 6k, nota bad buy for that

Sorry guys I was talking about the new Nur Spec RX, has anyone tried it? I had a Nur Spec R in the past and yeah it was loud, and that was before the decat!

Well at the moment I've got an HKS Ti Racing exhaust, lovely sound on the throttle but I think it really is too loud for central London, especially with the double decat. I'm thinking about the alternatives... ideally something that fits nice and snug, not too low ground clearance (although the HKS is absolutely fine) and not something that's going to hold me back... (not planning to go single any time soon). Any ideas? I had heard about the new Nur Spec that is supposed to be really quiet, has anyone had that on their car? Cheers, Francis

Would be interested to hear if anyone has been in touch with Matt lately? I took my Supe to have its alarm fixed at Sextons but no sign of Matt and they still haven't gotten back to me...

All of the above will have an effect on the sound, the source, amplification, room acoustics, isolation (slate for speakers, equipment stand), interconnects, power cables, mains supply, etc. Many people do believe in source first to the extent that I've heard of people running a Naim CDS3 (8k CD player) with a Naim Nait 1 (1980s mini-integrated amp) with Linn Kans. Personally I think taking it to that extent is silly, but to a certain level it does ring true. Once you reach a decent level of amplification and have a good quality source, changing speakers can make a huge difference to the sound. When I first had my Nautilus 803s I was using a Nakamichi AV-10 (integrated surround receiver) with a cheap DVD player (using the Nak's DAC) and moving from B&W CDM7s to 803's completely transformed my system. That said, I then went on the Naim route, which was initially fairly unfulfilling until I made the jump up to a NAC82 with two HICAP powre supplies and NAP135 monoblock amplifiers which again transformed the system and it really was a high end and enjoyable sound. I think your A3 and source (?) should be a decent basis for a speaker upgrade, but you'll no doubt catch the bug and want to upgrade the rest... There's certainly no harm in doing it in stages, that's what I find so fun about it... and if you buy second hand you can usually recoup most of your outlay if you buy wisely. Cheers, Francis
