edge Posted August 2, 2010 Author Share Posted August 2, 2010 Did you not see that programme on the TV about the cheap ass foods? Those value sausages we only a small amount of meat! Same as those cheapie cheese slices, think they had only a tiny percentage of actual cheese! Check next time you go shopping, read the labels on the back and see whats in them! Including cheapo chicken titties, they are blown up with water to make them look bigger, just like jordan! (although i assume she has a more longer lasting substance in hers!) I $&!t you not dude! I did. And i refuse to eat that stuff! local butchers or any finest or best range is okay i could bring a sausage, we could do a live engine swap maybe?. with lots of lager anything is possable! Wouldn't be the first time and you did make a cracking pasta and cheese dish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz6002 Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 We could arrange something very short notice at Suprapod... or arrange something better a way off. Suprapod would guarantee a certain audience though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JODY T Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 I could even help you to fit a fuel pump or boost controller or gauges or anything really.. Not much I haven't fitted to Supras over the years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Attero Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 I would join in with the audience at SupraPod if you get this going. How will you notify people of it happening? It's not something I would turn up right at the end of, I hope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Konrad Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 I can do one of those tutorials for people interested, you are welcome for Sunday meeting in my garage, so all tools and lift are there to show how to do things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mawby Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 This could be interesting. I know how to do most basic servicing stuff but it will be good to pick up any useful tips others might have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraStar 3000 Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 Great idea! demonstrations on how to successfully open your boot without keys will be hosted by myself from 2 - 5pm with a half hour break between for refreshment and a Q and A session at the end. Please bring a paper and a pencil - Notes will be handed out too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevie_b Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 This is a seriously good idea. I know how to do the very basics, and I'm awesome at changing the engine oil* but there's things that I'd really like to learn. Anything to do with brakes I've always been nervous with, mainly because I don't know what I'm looking for. I wouldn't recongnise a brake shoe with 90% wear on it if it hit me on the head. This is where even things like Haynes manuals can be too advanced. * shhh, not a word Graham! *wink* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dan1985 Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 has a location been found? i could host, we got an old pub house. can seat around 10 plus cars, big ol garden, brick bbq... offer is there and we dont mind. im in cambridgeshire. dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The-Plethora Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 Sounds like a great idea, I have changed the brakes and a few other bits but I could certainly use any help, I can even supply a car with the odd error code on and a few other bits I could do with help on You would get a good audience at suprapod but its probably safe to say the people that are going to that probably know the car inside out anyway.

I, for one, really don't know my car well on the inside of the engine bay at all. I know what a fair few things are but I have never had the time to get to know my way around. I don't know how to change spark plugs or do any parts of a service - this is my first car! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraDan24 Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 Great idea i think. If i'm home i'll definately attend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BazzaAlpine Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 I'm up for a bit of learning. Problem I have is that I can't really work on the car where it is located especially as I don't have stands (and nowhere to store some). Happy to take notes for the future though. Don't think I need the boot release one though. Found that in no time :-P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please bring a paper and a pencil - Notes will be handed out too. Will there be a PowerPoint presentation, and will you have a pointy stick with an LED on the end of it? I do hope so. I won't be going to Suprapod, but when AFR, etc have open days, maybe they should do a demo on this kind of thing as part of the day, then they can sell some parts, and we could have a go with their (non guaranteed) supervision?

supra_aero Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 Even though I am supraless I'd love to join in on this idea. Happy to contribute to petrol with someone who lives in Somerset or London. Single turbo ride preferred Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
