MONKEYmark replied to JamieP's topic in Supra Chat
i done nothing on my car been collecting parts and looking for new tools.got 2 supras to have a go on dont even know where to start.lack of time and low money.wanted to clean suspension i bought for orange supra and paint it with black hammerite to tidy it up.the roll cage and interior could do with been painted.just need inspiration to decide what to do.the silver supra i have got 2 wings for it bonnet looks ok i think.need a fmic and a bumper and a rad.sourced a manual radiator.would be happy to get it up and running for now.not going to give up on it.worked 72 hours last week and this week its a 60 hour week. got to love the supra.wanting to buy a ok hub/gear puller and a couple of decent trolley jacks and get workshop built in garage -

Some donkey has parked across my driveway for last two days - what can I do
MONKEYmark replied to far's topic in Off Topic
wow cant belive this gone on for so long.i had a bit of a do with next door as he was parking his car infron of my house on path not blocking my car in.so started parking my car in front of my gates making it akward for him getting his cars in and out as he a mechanic working from home.cars in and out of his drive all time. he came asking me to move my car back and had a few words now he parks his car about 30 yards up road.oin front of his house is a pelican crossing. gets you so mad when people take things for granted.blocking him in sounds a good option but no use for your wifes car.i would be fuming been blocked in. -
thanks dave engine mounts came ok and well packed thanks
-
not been doing anything on car been too wet.my PHR solid engine mounts have arrived got at a great price for £85 deliverd.just on with collecting parts still.going to clean suspension parts and paint to freshen up and see what i can do with the hubs as they look like they need some sorting out
-
is there much left to do,i have not played for a few days with working.might go back and give it a try.enjoyed it and the graphics have been great.

can get broken pallets but its only softwood seems a shame to throw.the compressed reel core protectors are like chip board easy to throw a couple on fire and no messing cutting wood down.even better as its free.going to look into it
-
would like one of these for back living room and garage.i work in a printing/envelope making place and can get compressed center cores out of reels of paper.my sister has an open fire and was getting them for her.been told you have to have chimney swept a few times a year if you burning wood. could you use it to heat hot water too.looks good too

i bought black ops on xbox360 and only had it on 5 mins.borrowed gt5 and was not too impressed with it.i borroed drake 1 started playing it then 3 came out so decided to give it a try.prefer adventures and platform and racing games.will give it a rest and go try again.
-
hi is anyone playing this game.im more into xbox360 than ps3 but have bought a couple of games for it got little big planet 2 and uncharted 3 found it a great game to play not ree roaming like other games as you just following a set path.got right up to chapter 21 but stuck on it trying to kill these fire bods lol. been a good game so far.has anyone got past chapter 21.he has been on some right adventures lol escaped 2 sinking boats and a sinking ship and survived in a cargo plane crash. on the xbox i like the GTA games and red dead redemption series and need for speed shift.like the xbox360 menus over the ps3.bought a ps3 to try bluray films and it also plays 3d films.

would say £644.60 i have a big green glass indoor planter thing about 1.5 foot high and 2.5 foot around but only have copper in it and a smaller sweet jar for silver.
-
would have thought its how far you would want to go into it.im sure some drag radials and stripping some weight out of the car (if you want to go that far).maybe nitrous.if you strip it out people will say ahh but u stripped it out and have nitrous where mines the fastest full weight car sort of replys.do they respond well to cams and other engine mods or do the costs out way the small gains. good to see you looking into a record.
-
hi did you post my item i paid for on 29th oct should have got to you on 3rd nov.thanks
-
that makes 2 of us lol.only done small jobs like fitting fmic starter motors brakes and fitted some gauges.just need to have some ideas what i can do.suppose if you just take your time with things you will learn along the way.will need to start collecting more parts and get a workshop built in garage with drill stand and vice and grinders and polishers.looking forward to getting started.waiting on 2 sets of rear hubs and a spare set of driveshafts and also buying some PHR solid engine mounts.

going to take time to try sort 2 cars.seems a shame to take apart the silver one when it needs front end sorting.not sure where to start but if i get it on axel stands than can start doing things when i have time and funds.the orange one is more a blank canvas.need to try find out what all plugs and connectors are for. the heater matrix is quite a bit of weight to it.also want to use as little as possible.what sort of things could i delete.it has no stock fuel tank just an alloy box to house a fuel cell.would you run braided lines inside car and go through bulkhead or do you have to run under car.not had a chance to have a good play on it with working and rain today. will have a look at all interior trim and strip out.it has a cloth grey roof lining 3 door cards and center console.

looks a good car for money and great mpg

Think i must be mad taking on a shell build up with very little skills.It was a bit of a nightmare getting shell home on flatbed truck.Was even worse getting it off with no rear wheels.I bought 2 sets of rear hubs some rear shocks rear top mounts and rear upper arms and a set of UK springs.The hubs and driveshafts did not come in time.So the back end is resting on some pallets.will get the car on axel stands soon. The orange shell came with some interior panels and dash but not worth putting in car.It will be used just off road so no problems with bare interior.the heater matrix was in car but wont be fitting it back in the car. the orange shell did not look as good as the pics on ebay had damaged skirts and a few chips in paint also noticed when i got home other bits needed sorting.dont know if i took too much work on as loom looks a nightmare.also needs passenger window fitting.but suppose its an ex racing shell with 8.5 second cage.Think the sideskirts could be fixed but never liked sideskirts as it makes it akward for working on car.prefer stock looking car.want to take things off car that i dont need for drag racing. Have also got my facelift car with front end damage, thinking of trying to see about getting that sorted out too.needs 2 front wings front bumper radiator and intercooler and a lot of work as its been stood about 5 years.brake discs were rusted but freed them up and got it down to my house.Have got some front wings sorted and not sure if bonnet is ok.also needs cross member sorting and upper supports around lights. The passenger side leg was filled in with filler from a garage down south.just be happy to get silver car up and running and go from there and collect more parts for orange shell. think i have taken on more than i can handle but i will give it a try as have bought it now.
