  2. Out of that lot, the Nurburgings but imo the GTLM's are worth considering. One thing you may want to check is if you plan on fitting UK brakes that your new wheels will clear them too.
  3. Is there a particular reason why you're buying a duff car over a working example?
  4. I'd take the car to an alarm fitter and ask for a completely seperate make of alarm to be installed, make sure the parent companies of the two systems are not the same.
  5. Pour hot water over them, they should expand.
  6. Another intellectual titan signing up to the forums.
  7. I've got the footwell lights and removed the mudflaps. What's the secondary boot carpet?

  9. 1. Very, if looked after, though some cowboy garages have tarnished the reputation. 2. Personal preferance. 3. You can pick up a nice one for £5k or a very nice one for £10k, for the money your 500 will go for you will have your pick of any Supra so it depends how much you want to put into an old Japanese car. You can afford to be very choosey. 4. Imo there's too many wrecks and chaved up shitheaps for the car to be considered a future classic but UK 6spds and the VVTi 6spds will be contendors for the classic crown. Re BHP vs Reliability- Depending WHO has done what more than WHAT has been done by who. 5. Personal preferance, both have their fans, the auto is very good for an auto box but nobody rips out a 6spd box for an OEM autobox but plenty go the other way. 6. True imo. 7. With respect, any pre Tamora TVR is left wanting (straight from the crate). The Supra has better control, balance, agility AND stability but the Griff has more feedback through the steering wheel. You will feel the weight of the Supra though, it's a much heavier car. 8. Parts are more expensive but you'll replace them less often, most servicing should be little more than fluids and filters. 9. Buying guide is in one of the tech forums Btw, A chap called Geoff something had a Griff 520 and a Tiptronic Supra, as soon as another member reminds me of his last name I'll link you his PH profile and you can pick is brains, he's as sound as a pound and tells it straight with no bias.
  10. £38-41k iirc. Have a suspension refresh and the Supe really does shine. Haven't driven the RS to compare.
  11. Saab is in deep shit, GM want buyers for Opel & Vauxhall & possibly Saturn & Holden. I wouldn't be surprised if GM only have one brand in two years time (Chevy)
  12. There's loads, but you can't put a tax on it: Sun output Global tilt Orbit of the Earth Magnetic field fluctuations Large scale weather events Position of Jet Streams Volcanic events Quite why people think the Earth has permanent ice cap sizes is beyond me, they have always advanced and retreated- the last ice cap made its way to the Chiltern Hills in Buckinghamshire before receding again (and it still is and will continue until all the ice is gone). As a result the UK is rising (or springing back) by 1mm a year now the weight of the ice has been releived.
  13. The CPS could have put him on trial in the first place. This country cannot preach justice & democracy for all if it's going to be the 51st state of America and detain people indefinetly without trial. Anyway isn't this bloke being deported to some tin pot dictatorship who want to kill him rather slowly?
  14. Amen to that! No problems with offers- it's always worth a try but there is no need to be rude or even insult ones intelligence "yeah mate, but yours is the wrong colour, I want a red one so will you knock £1500 off?" - so why are you phoning me if you want a red car and you're £1500 short?
  15. A quack echos and if your bathroom is smaller than 6' then close the lid on your bog.
  16. Could be anyones- that girl has had more deposits than Barcley's bank!
  17. The sort who want to make a lot of money asap before the paternity tests come out.
  18. "You should be able to stop in the roadspace you can see" You either agree with this or you don't.
  19. Level crossings are like the chlorine of the gene pool.* shamefully stolen from another forum
  20. Alright for a brolly dolly on a motorshow stand, otherwise they're a bit Alex Curran.

    hello everybody

    I'm assuming a JDM is too different from the Euro cars to make export worthwhile.
