Is it the time of year or something. I've just got exactly the same problem! Fluids spot on the mark and in good condition. Leon's rebuilding mine with uprated clutches and springs and fitting a high stall torque converter at the same time.

Bad link? :thumbdown Tried again and working

Really? Don't get me wrong, I had a good day there today and thoroughly enjoyed it. But you have to admit that there was more that the fair share of muppets about! I might be getting old or something but I'm not sure which p****d me off more. Was it the sweet aroma of burning rubber from the burn outs whafting gently over the track or the mounds of rubbish chucked everywhere. This is motorsport, you don't want a Tescos (other brands are available) carrier bag drifting accross the strip as you're going for it!

Totally different type of show so I don't see how you can compare them! USC is a Chav-fest and just about everything off the track wasn't worth a **** JAE is more of a Show and Shine Club event.

Talked with the guy later on and found out that it was a Cusco diff and you're right Jez, it was a bloody mess under there. Even the floor pan had been ripped open just behind the drivers seat by shrapnel! Definately chav-central there today though!

Black j-spec Supra heading northbound on the A5 through Towcester about 2.30. Also another black Supe northbound on A5 nearer Milton Keynes about 5 mins later. I was in Silver Supe with bomex front.

Don't think this is a repost........ All too rarely, airline attendants make an effort to make the in flight "safety lecture" and announcements a bit more entertaining. Here are some real examples that have been heard or reported: 1. On a Southwest flight (SW has no assigned seating, you just sit where you want) passengers were apparently having a hard time choosing, when a flight attendant announced, "People, people we're not picking out furniture here, find a seat and get in it!" 2. On a Continental Flight with a very "senior" flight attendant crew, the pilot said, "Ladies and gentlemen, we've reached cruising altitude and will be turning down the cabin lights. This is for your comfort and to enhance the appearance of your flight attendants." 3. On landing, the stewardess said, "Please be sure to take all of your belongings. If you're going to leave anything, please make sure it's something we'd like to have. 4. "There may be 50 ways to leave your lover, but there are only 4 ways out of this airplane" 5. "Thank you for flying Delta Business Express. We hope you enjoyed giving us the business as much as we enjoyed taking you for a ride." 6. As the plane landed and was coming to a stop at Ronald Reagan, a lone voice came over the loudspeaker: "Whoa, big fella. WHOA!" 7. After a particularly rough landing during thunderstorms in Memphis, a flight attendant on a Northwest flight announced, "Please take care when opening the overhead compartments because, after a landing like that, sure as hell everything has shifted." 8. From a Southwest Airlines employee: "Welcome aboard Southwest Flight 245 to Tampa.. To operate your seat belt, insert the metal tab into the buckle, and pull tight. It works just like every other seat belt; and, if you don't know how to operate one, you probably shouldn't be out in public unsupervised." 9. "In the event of a sudden loss of cabin pressure, masks will descend from the ceiling. Stop screaming, grab the mask, and pull it over your face. If you have a small child travelling with you, secure your mask before assisting with theirs. If you are travelling with more than one small child, pick your favourite." 10. "Weather at our destination is 50 degrees with some broken clouds, but we'll try to have them fixed before we arrive. Thank you, and remember, nobody loves you, or your money, more than Southwest Airlines." 11. "Your seat cushions can be used for flotation; and, in the event of an emergency water landing, please paddle to shore and take them with our compliments." 12. "As you exit the plane, make sure to gather all of your belongings. Anything left behind will be distributed evenly among the flight attendants. Please do not leave children or spouses." 13. And from the pilot during his welcome message: "Delta Airlines is pleased to have some of the best flight attendants in the industry. Unfortunately, none of them are on this flight!" 14. Heard on Southwest Airlines just after a very hard landing in Salt Lake City: The flight attendant came on the intercom and said, "That was quite a bump, and I know what y'all are thinking. I'm here to tell you it wasn't the airline's fault, it wasn't the pilot's fault, it wasn't the flight attendant's fault, it was the asphalt." 15. Overheard on an American Airlines flight into Amarillo, Texas, on a particularly windy and bumpy day: During the final approach, the Captain was really having to fight it. After an extremely hard landing, the Flight Attendant said, "Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to Amarillo. Please remain in your seats with your seat belts fastened while the Captain taxis what's left of our airplane to the gate!" 16. Another flight attendant's comment on a less than perfect landing, "We ask you to please remain seated as Captain Kangaroo bounces us to the terminal." 17. An airline pilot wrote that on this particular flight he had hammered his ship into the runway really hard. The airline had a policy which required the first officer to stand at the door while the Passengers exited, smile, and give them a "Thanks for flying our airline." He said that, in light of his bad landing, he had a hard time looking the passengers in the eye, thinking that someone would have a smart comment. Finally everyone had gotten off except for a little old lady walking with a cane. She said, "Sir, do you mind if I ask you a question?" "Why, no, Ma'am," said the pilot. "What is it?" The little old lady said, "Did we land, or were we shot down?" 18. After a real crusher of a landing in Phoenix, the attendant came on with, "Ladies and Gentlemen, please remain in your seats until Capt. Crash and the Crew have brought the aircraft to a screeching halt against the gate. And, once the tire smoke has cleared and the warning bells are silenced, we'll open the door and you can pick your way through the wreckage to the terminal." 19. Part of a flight attendant's arrival announcement: "We'd like to thank you folks for flying with us today. And, the next time you get the insane urge to go blasting through the skies in a pressurized metal tube, we hope you'll think of US Airways." 20. Heard on a Southwest Airline flight. "Ladies and gentlemen, if you wish to smoke, the smoking section on this airplane is on the wing and if you can light 'em, you can smoke 'em." 21. A plane was taking off from Kennedy Airport. After it reached a comfortable cruising altitude, the captain made an announcement over the intercom, "Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. Welcome to Flight Number 293, non-stop from New York to Los Angeles. The weather ahead is good and, therefore, we should have a smooth and uneventful flight. Now sit back and relax... OH, MY GOD!" Silence followed, and after a few minutes, the captain came back on the intercom and said, "Ladies and Gentlemen, I am so sorry if I scared you earlier. While I was talking to you, the flight attendant accidentally spilled a cup of hot coffee in my lap. You should see the front of my pants!" A passenger in Coach yelled, "That's nothing. You should see the back of mine!"

Isn't this an optional extra on the BMW? The Directional Awareness Package Seriously though, even if indicators weren't a legality, it'd make good sense to use them as much as possible to warn other drivers of your intentions. I don't think that you could indicate too much as long as you're indicating correctly!

Give Paul at Whifbitz a try as well. He's got a black TT due in September. Toyotas For Sale Last car on sheet.

Definately agree, it has to be the Supra (a true Grand Tourer).

Probably (think they're one size fits all) but you'd better check with him.

See photo. Fitted front and rear braces at same time as Cusco Zero-2 Suspension.

Yes the Cusco Front Strut brace fits a N/A Supe. (see pic)

Men and Motors.

Street sleeper. Had a mate a good few years back that had an old "builders" Escort van with full Cosworth engine & running gear fitted in it .

Cusco rear strut brace in Aerotop. Plastic covers cut down with sharp knife to refit.

Thats rather "snug" in there!

First run he had severe traction issues..... wheel spinning for first 1/8th mile Changed rear wheels/tyres for second run which was to be a top speed run. Engine started pulling back and feeling tight around the 3/4 mile mark, oil pressure down so eased off and cruised back to pit. Bottom end was knocking so recovered home. Not pulled out engine for proper diagnostics yet.

Leon with a blown bottom end!
