  1. I made a custom box for mine, but the spare wheel had to go. The Sub(s) have got to be in the centre really with an aerotop cos the roof comes fight down to the boot floor at the sides.

    boot carpet

    Not so. Standard equipment in j-spec GZ models. Haven't got any pics cos its been in the bin for the last six months.
  3. There are several different types (at least 6, maybe more) Some have bulb holders which take standard capless bulbs, some are 1 piece jobbies that are only available from toyota. There are also some LEDs in the heater control unit.

    boot carpet

    Not quite true, some have the rectangular hole for the stock sub in them and some dont.
  5. Thats the down wash from the police helicopter:eyebrows:

    RLTC question.

    the stock trac switch is just a push release switch with two wires (the other 2 are for the backlight) Dont know for sure, but you could try just shorting the two wires together. Similar effect to keeping the switch pushed in all the time. Might be worth a try to see what happens.
  7. Might be worth a strip down anyway. Have a look at the pads and if they're ok give the whole lot a good clean, new copperslip on the back of the pads and a bit of lube on the slides and pistons. Road salt plays havoc with brakes.
  8. If the wheels are the same size, you can rotate them, but chances are you have directional tyres so they MUST stay on the same side of the car.
  9. This is probably a real idiot question, but on the do luck website they say the wheels are available in high or low disk versions. Whats the difference? Does anyone have pictures of the two sorts (fitted to a supra preferably). Traders: feel free to send me prices (9.0" front &10.5" rears) as i'm thinking of getting a set in a few months when the tyres on my existing rims are worn out.
  10. Never done the mkiv salute before but ive had lots of practice at the BMW 1 series salute. Now can we have another picture of this rack only without the annoying clothes in the way
  11. A masked man goes into a sperm bank, points a gun at the woman behind the counter, and says, "Open the safe." She says, "This isn't a real bank, it's a sperm bank." He says, "Open the safe or I'll shoot." She opens the safe, and he says, "Now take one of the bottles and drink it." After she opens the bottle and drinks it, he takes off his mask and the woman realizes the robber is her husband. He says, "Now you see? It's not so difficult, is it?"
  12. go to any ice shop and get a bling bling gold one for about a tenner
  13. Have you got a switch on your bonnet for the alarm? I would think that that would be more likley than the boot as the bonnet tends to lift at speed but the boot would be pushed more shut.
  14. I,ve got a clifford remote boot release solenoid and thats pretty hefty, i'm sure it would be up to the job of opening the door as well.
  15. Got mine from B&Q, can use it a a little blowtorch as well which is useful for heatshrink etc.
  16. I've got a dozen eggs here you could use

    Airbag light

    Airbag light triggers if you switch on the ignition with the top section of dash unplugged. Next time you have to take the dash out, leave the top section plugged in and use a bit of masking tape to hold it up out of the way.
  18. Once upon a time, in a nice little forest, there lived an orphaned bunny and an orphaned snake. By a surprising coincidence, both were blind from birth. One day, the bunny was hopping through the forest, and the snake was slithering through the forest, when the bunny tripped over the snake and fell down. This, of course, knocked the snake about quite a bit. "Oh, my," said the bunny, "I'm terribly sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you. I've been blind since birth, so, I can't see where I'm going. In fact, since I'm also an orphan, I don't even know what I am." It's quite ok," replied the snake. "Actually, my story is as yours. I too have been blind since birth, and also never knew my mother. Tell you what, maybe I could slither all over you, and work out what you are so at least you'll have that going for you." "Oh, that would be wonderful" replied the bunny. So the snake slithered all over the bunny, and said, "Well, you're covered with soft fur, you have really long ears, your nose twitches, and you have a soft cottony tail. I'd say that you must be a bunny rabbit." "Oh, thank you, thank you," cried the bunny, in obvious excitement. The bunny suggested to the snake, "Maybe I could feel you all over with my paw, and help you the same way that you've helped me." So the bunny felt the snake all over, and remarked, "Well, you're smooth and slippery, and you have a forked tongue, no backbone and no balls. I'd say you must be either a team leader, supervisor or possibly someone in senior management."
  19. Should be very light contact between pads and disks even when the brakes are off. If you feel any resistance when turning the wheel, check the dust seals on the pistons. If they are damaged, there might be a bit of corrosion between the dust seal and the pistion seal. You will need a caliper refurb kit available from toyota. Not too expensive and includes new dust seals, caliper seals, slider dust covers (for j-specs) and even a little packet of rubber grease. Stripping the calipers is a fairly easy job - should take about 1 hour for each caliper - and you can do a brake fluid change while you're at it. If you're anywhere near the midlands, i'd be happy to give you a hand.
  20. we have that at our work... we call them the management
  21. Stuff practicality, if i could afford to do this I'd get a Diablo (think they still fall within the 2 year rule) and buy new clothes on the way.
  22. They disproved that on Brainiac on saturday using toilet roll paper and a wacker plate they folded it 9 times
  23. Some guy offered to sell me a leather coat years ago in a truckstop (I'm a truck driver, i wasn't just cruisin') some sort of ex display promotion nonsence. He gave me the coat to try on, so i told him to p1$$ off and drove off with it.
