  1. I'd like a £10,000 limit please
  2. I want to enrol in: LEARNING HOW TO FIND THINGS Just ask the daft bint where shes moved it to instead of turning the house upside down while screaming - Open forum
  3. The problem with religion (all religion) is that it was invented by the powerful (rich) to control the weak and the stupid (poor). The basic teaching of all religion is: do what we say and good things will happen, disagree with us and bad things will happen (heaven and hell from a christian perspective, but they all have similar philosophies). Obviously for this to perpetuate itself all religions must be the only religion, so everyone is trying to destroy everyone elses beliefs to ensure the continuation of their own (and go to heaven). Its been going on for thousands of years and wont end any time soon. It just so happens that Islam is going through the same militant phase that Christianity went through a few hundred years ago with the crusades. Only when we advance enough to see through this rubbish and follow our own destiny will it end. Its about time that we all realised that these so called Gods do nothing for us: I remember being told by a religious man to thank god for my children, but when I asked him who the parents of children killed in the tsunami should thank, he had no answer. Religion is a sham and should be wiped from the face of the earth. PS. prove the existance of a God and i'll retract all this.
  4. Yes!!!! Stick the O2 sensor in a lemon, or lemon juice, overnight, then clean it with brake cleaner (not brake fluid) to remove any loose carbon deposits and lemon residue.
  5. I remember Clarkson testing the Uk spec on the old top gear, way back in the '90s. He had it emerging from an underground bunker surrounded by smoke and lights, then went on to slate it for being dull. I used to have this on VHS called "Top Gear Supercars", but I lent it to someone and haven't seen it since.

  6. Does it have intellistart, that would power up the ignition circuit. You can pick up new fobs off ebay quite cheap: http://motors.search.ebay.co.uk/clifford_Cars-Parts-Vehicles_W0QQcatrefZC12QQfmcZ1QQfromZR8QQfsooZ1QQfsopZ1QQsacatZ9800 and program them to your alarm with the wizard software.
  7. Or Halfords sell a universal single pod that fastens to the original A-post trim

    Bmw M5

    Problems with the M5 are: 1. Its ugly 2. Its a BMW 3. Its not a 200mph car. Much like the J-spec they've detuned lots of it cos it will only do 155mph (limiter) so smaller brakes, aerodynamic issues, downgraded tyres & suspension components etc. 4. I've heard theyare having gearbox "issues" with them so much like a NOS'ed up corsa, they will do 0-60..... ..once.
  9. 1. If all else fails, hot glue fixes most things 2. I cleanened my O2 (lambda) sensor last week ready for MOT and that leaned the mixture off on hot tickover, but its set up to run rich on cold tickover, the colder it is the richer it runs.
  10. press the next and prev buttons together for 1 second to toggle between monitor and setting mode
  11. You'll be ok on all '93, '94 and some (early) '95 imports. They only have to pass a basic non-cat emissions test which it should fly through as long as its running well. All UK spec and '95 or later have to have a cat test and you need at least 1 cat on (possibly both) to pass that.
  12. I mounted my control units in the space under the stereo, you can take most of the feeds from the stereo:0v, 12v, lights. If you want your switched +12v on accesory, use the stereo feed, or there's a switched +12v on the heater control plug that works off position 2 on the key
  13. intellistart worked for me and mines always outside at work all night.
  14. Used to have the Greddy one, but sold it for an Apexi AVCR cos it looks better. I found the Apexi controlls boost spikes better than the Greddy as well
  15. Good lord you must get through a lot of tea. Jacked mine up, removed and refurbished the starter, refitted it and put the whole lot back on the floor in about 1 hour. Easy job!!!
  16. I had a car fall off axle stands and trap me underneath, fortunately not the supe or i probably wouldn't be here now. THIS IS NOT AN AREA WHERE YOU WANT TO SAVE MONEY!!!
  17. I seem to be going against the grain here, but given that Toyotas efforts at strenghtening the chasis are not 100% successful, it might be an interesting project. Take about half a ton of steel, a fully equipped metalwork fabrication shop, a very talented welder and a large truck to put all the money in and you could make it work.
  18. Stick it in a lemon/lemon juice overnight, then clean with brake cleaner. Its just under the turbos, follow the wire along the offside inner wing. If it gives more accurate fuelling, then it must be a good thing - not sure how often it might need doing though.
  19. Sailed through:ecstatic: Was a bit worried about emmisions as i've got a full decat, so I cleaned the O2 sensor earlier this week and it went through with a CO reading of 0.8 (limit 3.5). Was well impressed with the brake test results considering its still on j-spec setup: fronts - 792kg o/s and 786kg n/s imbalance 0.8%. :ecstatic:
  20. Look in the FAQ section, there's a good thread on how to refurb the starter contacts. Costs about £15.00 if you do it yourself. Its an easy job.
  21. Come to Halesowen mate. There is a short stretrch of dual carriageway by me and they resurfaced one side of it last year. The other side regularly has people in land rovers stuck in the potholes. Last week they put up signs to say the road would be closed for resurfacing. So what have they done so far? Dug up the side they did last year!!!!
  22. Thanks for the tips, decided to let a mate have a look instead as its his line of work. Seems fine now.
  23. very nice, welcome to the club. Are those mania pacifics, they look good on it.
  24. Think i've picked up a virus on my laptop. Its got Norton antivirus 2005 (updated regularly), but when (if) it starts up, i get strange stripes/odd pixels on the desktop, and a sort of ghosting effect where any closed windows were. It runs slow, and then locks up completely after about 10mins. I've run the hardware diagnostic from the BIOS screen (no problems shown), but I cant get anywhere with Windows (safe mode or normal). Question is, how do I find/remove the virus if I cant get into Windows or run the Norton software to fix it? Don't know if this is related but the wife says she got a strange page appear whilst on Ebay yeterday, something to do with updating browser settings, she says. Any help would be appreciated cos my Clifford wizzard software and lead arrived yesterday and I want to play!!
