  1. Sorry, havent got a pic but I put my decals on the rear calipers, just fit them over the slope. They'll look fine once the wheels are back on.
  2. Make sure you seal them properly, I had to take mine apart again a week later cos they where full of condensation
  3. The heating element is built in to the glass so i'm sure it would be possible to fit a heated mirror to a folding mirror case. Just be a case of running some new wires up through the door. BTW the mirrors on my GZ fold manually - i assume they all do, for roadside parking etc
  4. I've just changed the plugs as part of servicing the car and noticed something odd. From reading the condition of the old plugs, No.1 cylinder(at the front) seems to be running very rich, then the cylinders lean off toward the back of the engine to No.6 which is slightly rich but nothing too bad. Any idea what causes this and how i can fix it:shrug: . Also i've read somewhere that cleaning the O2 sensor can help lean off mixture, but i cant find a thread about it on here. Fuelling is stock J-spec TT.
  5. i've seen just about everybody in the world falling over those bubbles. what i want to know is how i can get my fat hairy a$$ on there. Now that would be worth seeing. Form an orderly queue
  6. I have no idea mate, ask me again if it stops raining One day i might have enought room to put the car in the garage as well, but for now the garage is set up as my woodwork shop so i have to work on the car outside:cry:
  7. its not me, i just dont want to get rain in my new oil:hide:
  8. I've got a big box of bits in the garage that i'm supposed to be putting on the car today. Oil, filter, plugs, new brake fluid, new door speakers and some engine bling. :swear: ITS RAINING:swear: :swear: So i've spent the last two hours playing this: http://www.ebaumsworld.com/gridlock.shtml up to level 28 so far
  9. ditto, only mine had a semi-automatic gearbox which was so bad it made me laugh out loud every time it attempted to change gear
  10. Depends on what engine you're putting in it
  11. :repost: :repost: i put that on there, and on here
  12. looks like someone bought dials for a left hand drive car and forgot to mention it in his ad. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/TOYOTA-SUPRA-MK4-DIAL-KIT_W0QQitemZ8007939788QQcategoryZ72216QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
  13. Can anyone supply me with a 1bar (not the more usual 1.2bar) restrictor ring. PM me or phone 07973 692955. Thanks
  14. if its any consolation, tell him he's not alone:cry:
  15. possibly one of the adjuster buttons is stuck in?

    another joke

    As we get older, we must be more creative! An older, white haired man walked into a jewellery store one Friday evening with a beautiful young gal at his side. He told the jeweller he was looking for a special ring for his girlfriend. The jeweller looked through his stock and brought out a $5,000 ring and showed it to him. The old man said, "I don't think you understand, I want something very special." At that statement, the jeweller went to his special stock and brought another ring over. "Here's a stunning ring at only $40,000," the jeweller said. The young lady's eyes sparkled and her whole body trembled with excitement. The old man seeing this said, "We'll take it." The jeweller asked how payment would be made and the old man stated by check. " I know you need to make sure the check is good, so I'll write now and you can call the bank on Monday to verify the funds and I'll pick the ring up Monday afternoon," he said. Monday morning, a very teed-off jeweller phoned the old man. "You old fart, you lied. There's no money in that account." "I know", said the old man, "but can you imagine the weekend I had?"

    joke

    An ugly man walked into his local pub with a big grin on his face. "What are you so happy about?" asked the barman. "Well, I'll tell you," replied the ugly man. "You know, I live by the railway. Well, on my way home last night, I noticed a young woman tied to the tracks, like in the movies. I, of course, went and cut her free and took her back to my place. Anyway, to make a long story short, I scored big time! We made love all night, all over the house. We did everything, me on top, sometimes her on top, every position imaginable!" "Fantastic!" exclaimed the barman. "You lucky guy. Was she pretty?" . . . . . "Dunno...Never found her head"
  18. Halfords sell them for not very much money. Just disconnect the coil, remove the plugs, one at a time, screw the tester into the plug hole and get someone to turn the engine over on the starter a couple of times. You will be looking for low/inconsistant readings.
  19. not quite sure what happened here, decided to post itself 4 times sorry about that
  20. that 'll teach him to be a smart arse

    Speeding

    True http://media.putfile.com/speedingsaveslives
  22. 1. no idea, could be either, best bet would be to check with Renault 2. you need a compression tester which screws in the spark plug holes, to be honest if you have to ask you would probably be better off getting it done by a garage
  23. Ditto, but not in that hideous afterbirth colour. I'll have mine in black
  24. lead in petrol lubricates the valves. An unleaded cylinder head has hardened valve seats to compensate. if you've been running a unleaded on an engine with non hardened valve seats you will eventually end up with leaky valves - do a compression test. The timing only needs to be adjusted to compensate for the different octane rating of unleaded (95RON) compared to old style 4star (98RON)
