  1. Ok, a few folk have asked me to post up all the pics i took and a full how-to guide on fitting facelift clear indicators and looms etc, which i can do no problem. (as i documented every single stage with pics) What i want to know before i make a pigs ear of it, is how do i post stage by stage with the pics stage by stage too ? Like so..... Paragraph. Pic. Paragraph. Pic. Paragraph Pic Is it just a case of type the paragraph then "insert image" ? But does the pic need to be hosted somewhere first or can i upload it direct from my PC ? Cheers very muckle. Michael
  2. I remember hearing the name John Morgan at TOTB3 just didnt know that was dude. Decent car tho !
  3. Not my cup of tea, but each to their own.......looks a bit too "stick on" The punched in vents look great, but the scoop in the middle just looks like its been bonded on
  4. Yeah i would give her one........... What can you say.............quality pure quality.
  5. Would this seriously give the CRD Supra a good run for its money or just on paper? What about the silver Supra that beat the CRD one at TOTB 3 last August in the late rounds ? does that belong to someone on here out of interest ? I know of a VERY VERY fast Supra built by "Garage Border" in Japan that is currenly being shipped to the UK and is destined for Scandinavian ownership, thats good for 800+bhp on current fuelling and boost. Red one looks nice in the mag i must admit. Not sure about the decals though. Does anyone actually know if the CRD Supra is still on the go ? Not been seen at any events up here for a good while Michael
  6. I fitted these to my 1994 SZ last week. Will be posting up a full tutorial with pics very soon, theres a lot of confusion surrounding whether these fit or not and what years they will fit......... They will fit any supra, 93 onwards, but if your car is pre-facelift (96 or 97 i believe) you will need to chop the indicator bulb holder off your existing loom, and solder on the new one from the Toyota loom. The part number for the looms you need is :- 81515-14390 You need two of them, one for each side obviously I will post up a full and complete "How to" Guide when i get my ass in gear lol, i took pics from the headlight removal right through to the refitting stages every step of the way.........and will post details too......... Michael
  7. Alright mate mine had one of these too....... If you remove the screws, top and underneath, this will let u remove the brackets. and if u gently prise the sun visor upwards, u will find that the sticky foam tape underneath it will just split apart and separate. You will however have some tape left on your paintwork. I run a valeting company with my dad, and i used some Tar and Glue remover, and picked it off, its a slow process, but once you have the most of it off, you can T-Cut off the residue and polish over that when done........good as new ! I would do it for you but your probably miles from Aberdeen lol !! If you need i can send you down some proper quality tar and glue remover, to soften the tape stuff. If your not wanting the rear spoiler, let me know and i will take it off you, i broke mine after i took it off when i stood on it and cracked it, so couldnt put it back on i only took it off to clean underneath it too !! GRRR ! Will gladly trade u some cleaning stuff you need, polish, tar and glue etc, for it or give u what u want. Let me know mate Michael
  8. Exactly, ask who she has been talking to at Trading Standards. Also if you choose not to ignore her, ask her how she can contact trading standards when your not a goods trader lol. Your not governed by the 1974 Sale of Goods Act, and the most she can do is complain to Ebay. The fact she hasnt done that shows she is just some up-herself jumped up female with too much PMT in her lol Ignore her.
  9. Just ignore it, i have had a few people "try it on" lately on ebay. Either trying to get a refund saying stuff is damaged, or didnt turn up, so i send everything recorded delivery. At the end of the day there will always be one........... I have 198 positive feedbacks and two negatives, kind of says it all. All she can do is leave u negative feedback, but do u really care? Let her do it and do it to her in return stating your case.....and put it down to a bad experience. Sounds like a typical "fu*k i dropped the sub.......ah well i will just say it got here fooked" twats.
  10. Am not sure it works like that mate, we used to have a simple Sky System before we had digital, and because you pay a constant subscription to them,they kept free maintenance on their equipment provided to you, provided that it wasnt damaged or malfunctioning due to user negligence. You will prob find its just the card anyways, give them a bell !
  11. I had a similar problem, turned out to be my card, if your digibox is connected to your phone line, they can check the card functionality down the line by doing various tests. They should then send out a new one and deactivate the old one if its that. Failing that the box will be faulty, but in that case they should also arrange an engineer to come out F.O.C and replace it. They are very good that way. HTH Michael
  12. Thats what it quotes on the Stagecoach website, i dont know seeing as i live in Aberdeen though It says 67 miles. Thats as much as i know other than i need to get there asap EDIT * OK change of plan, i can fly to Luton which is much closer, anyone able to give me a lift to Stansted for some petrol pennies ? think its about 40 miles. * Michael
  13. Is that quicker ? The stagecoach apparently takes 1hr 30min dependant on traffic
  14. Hi folks, I am planning on going down to London Stansted next week, probably on wednesday, but i can only get a flight from Aberdeen to London Heathrow that gets me into Heathrow at 10:45am. Can anyone "in the know" tell me the easiest and fastest way to get from Heathrow Airport to Stansted airport on Wednesday at that time please ? Is there a direct bus or airport shuttle or anything ? Just need to get there asap, preferrably by Lunchtime-ish, so if anyone is also willing and able to give me a lift i would gladly chuck them some petrol money!! (worth a try lol) Cheers in advance Michael
  15. Agreed............you only live once !
  16. I have 19"s and standard brakes. Doesnt feel much different, but u do notice the imperfections in the road a bit more. Looks the business when u pass and glance at yourself in a big glass shop window though
  17. Just dont jump into it mate, i did that with my first TT and landed myself all sorts of running problems and small defects cos i had let my "want" for the car cloud my judgement.
  18. i am 100% lost.................. Just be happy if i had a working copy lol Sure your trying your best mate
  19. Cool Cool PM me and keep me posted mate Cheers Michael
  20. External wastegates rule, the louder the better !! I mean why own a car like a Supra if u dont want attention
  21. Ok, i filled in my profile, and at the bottom it lets u browse for your chosen pic / pics. I look for the one i want on my PC, select the folder, and double click on the pic and it appears in the box for the pic i have chosen, its a JPEG. I then click "submit" wait a few secs, and the image name disappears, and the page refreshes......but no pic/s in my profile in the vB Garage Am i doing something wrong ? Michael
