I'm gutted too.... I wanted this car!
-
I've seen lower-spec cars with more miles sell for more money. Any takers? Fair price?

Brand new, boxed, unused AEM Wideband O2 AFR kit. I bought it from Dusty at MVP about a month back, but I've decided to sell my car, so I wont be needing this. £180, including P&P. Still under warranty.

I bought a WRX for my missus when we passed on our old Rover Coupe. It really is an awesome car, and I can only echo what everyone else has already said... Practical, loads of space, lots of fun to drive (and very easy to drive and manoeuvre - a plus for my missus!), dependable (if not messed with) and rapid. I agree with the downsides too... Fuel economy is bad, chavs hang around them (whereas Supras attract a better breed of admirer) and either drool over them or hurl bottles at them (I've experienced both), and it's true... Nobody let's you out at junctions in a Scooby!!

How To: Dying your carpet Black
Dash Rendar replied to M4RK RZ's topic in Technical Reference & FAQs
I've just done my mats, and they look great now. That dye is nasty stuff... The overspray went through two layers of bin liners and stained the driveway. I managed to clean it off, but now part of my driveway is much cleaner than the rest! -
Amazingly enough, I've only actually got the Eagles on the rear wheels. I couldn't afford to replace the whole set, especially given that my existing tyres (Kingstars) had loads of tread and didn't really *need* replacing. But even with just the back tyres changed, the handling is so much better, both in wet and dry conditions.
-
I just wanted to say... I'm lovin' my new Eagle F1 Asymmetrics! It's like driving a new car! A new car that goes in the direction I want it to.
-
Sold. Erm. Again.
-
Howdy all It seems that my buyer has disappeared and doesn't appear to be responding to my messages. So, this is now for sale again.
-
It's now (provisionally) sold.
-
I'm getting rid of my space-saver wheel (including tyre) to give me a bit more boot room. I'm happy to pass it on for a tenner, but buyer must collect.
-
These are now provisionally sold.
-
Well, some people might disagree with me, but I get a little too much lift off oversteer for my liking. (They're brilliant in the dry, but not so good in the wet.) So I'm switching to the Eagle F1s.
-
I have for sale a pair of part-worn tyres from my Supra. These tyres have hardly done any miles (somewhere between 1 to 2K) and there's loads of tread. They are Kinstar Radials. £50 sounds fair for the pair, I think.

Tbourner, I know what you mean about having difficulties delivering your strikes for fear of hurting your opponent. I taught karate (Shotokan and freestyle) for several years, and before that, it literally took me years before I had the confidence to strike to the face in the dojo. It was quite a limiting factor during kumite (combat), because I would only strike to the body, and any opponent who was any good would soon realise this and then blocking became doubly-easy for them. Getting over this problem is all about building confidence with your technique and accuracy. Once you *know* that you can deliver a strike with pinpoint accuracy, the fear of hurting someone goes away. But this takes experience and practice, and it's quite natural (and right) for a junior belt to be worried. In tournaments, I've suffered more injuries (e.g. broken noses) from fighting inexperienced junior belts who did not know how to control their strikes, than from senior grades. I always felt much more confident fighting a senior belt. But you never want to 'unleash the fury'! A decent martial artist can demonstrate strong mental discipline and exercise restraint where necessary. It's about focus, not anger. But you knew that already! Aside from Shotokan karate, I've also done goju ryu (which, btw, is not the 'main' form of Shotokan as someone else said... it's a different style altogether), wado ryu (which is much closer to Shotokan as it takes much from the teachings of Gichin Funokoshi, but tends to use shorter stances places a bit more emphasis on the sport form), freestyle karate, ju jitsu, TKD, and shorinji kempo. For general all-round fitness, mental discipline, and developing strong technique and a mastery of the basics, you can't go wrong with Shotokan. If you want to do karate, but would prefer tougher / closer combat, then do goju ryu, or even kyokoshinkai (which is serious full-contact stuff). If you want to master realistic combat scenarios (which basically almost always end up on the ground), then jujitsu is for you. (Judo has basically evolved as a more civilised sport form of jujitsu.) Aikido is another similar option, but I always preferred jujitsu. If you want flashy kicks, TKD or some freestyle karate forms are the best. In my experience, TKD students very often have very poor technique, compared to an equally experienced karate student. I must stress (before I get shot down) that this isn't a reflection on the martial art, but a reflection on the quality of the instructors in this country. There seem to be a lot of 'cowboy' TKD instructors out there, which is really diluting the quality of the martial art. But this can apply to all martial arts, so my advice is to choose your club carefully!

Awesome... The first quote that I got was: "You can't handle the Supra!" So true. (Obviously, that should have been "the truth".) "With great power comes great Supra." "Play it, Sam. Play 'As Supra Goes By'."
