    Never had that happen to me. Would change your password and wait to hear from their admin
  3. Shame such an 'excellent' car shows an image of different brands of rear tyres fitted....
  4. Just take your time and you should be fine. Not sure if you are a confident machine polisher but if in any doubt just spend some time watching some videos, make sure your pressures are correct (draw a line on the backing plate so you can confirm correct pressures), keep speeds consistent and make sure you work up and down through the speeds to correct defects and to refine. There is no point spending time machine polishing only to be left with holograms all over the car due to rushing the job. Brake panels down into smaller sections, they are all too big to machine polish effectively as one. Set some good time aside over a couple of days. Don't rush the job, just do each panel the best you can before moving on. Enjoy
  5. The discoloration across the car is an oxidation of the top layer of lacquer. It can make a white car look very flat and dull. The rear bumper will most certainly be heavily affected, especially if you have a modified car/exhaust. Its very common to see black vertical streaks of stains on the rear bumper or indeed anywhere on the car. It will require machine polishing to rectify. Claying will not help the stains but certainly should be done prior to machine polishing. Do not be concerned about a 'white polish' It just needs a good quality polish. Start with a least abrasive compound and pad, if you don't achieve the results you desire, step up to another level taking caution as you do. Give the car a thorough IPA wipedown after to remove any polishing oils and give you a squeaky clean base to apply your chosen wax or sealant which will help to prevent future staining. Sorted
  6. All the best Chilli have fun with your new toys
  7. This forum is all you need, doesn't matter what you need advice with. One of the great things with this club, it's a fountain of knowledge
  8. That is a really lovely kit. Well done Ibrar
  9. Good effort! Nothing worse than shiny leather. Gliptone leather conditioner leaves a lovely leather smell each time you get in the car. If you haven't tried it?
  10. You cannot fit a single turbo and run the car on a stock ecu and not expect there to be any problems? You are running a very different configuration than what the stock ecu is programmed for.
  11. I'm sure we are all tired of the empty FT1 promises, but just seen this link and thought I would share... http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-cars/toyota-supra-be-launched-under-gazoo-performance-brand
  12. Fine grade wire wool with a good quality metal polish would soon have it gleaming
  13. He didn't say anything about leaving it with them for a couple of weeks. Just to be available in the next couple of weeks
  14. Had a listen to your vids and the noise sounded identical to what I had with one on mine once. This was the thread http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?105787-Help-engine-making-knocking-noise!&highlight=knock the Videos I put up are not available anymore but I remember the noise well, sounds exactly the same. Despite mine being trailered off and inspected, no fault was ever found. So its not a huge help but just incase there is anything in that thread that may give you some ideas
  15. XPEL Ultimate is the best product for protection. It is expensive to do properly, but well worth it.
  16. Looks like I'm only about 70 miles away Bobbeh
