Dazzi Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 Im after some too but I've seen too many stories like bride and cobra subframes not fitting even though they are designed to be fitted into a supra. I have money to spend on other things than fabricating frames into my car when they should fit to start with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc_p Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 "I pushed the boat out and washed and polished her earlier this evening" Don't lie Adam, we all know you can't wash your car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dazzi Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 You were never banned Animal! What for? After watching 2006 Lakes Run I've wanted to go for ages but my holiday was always around that time. 2007 looked a bit dull on the vid especially with the M&S music but yea can't wait Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animal Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 Yep, I got a 35 day ban for doing 95mph on the M65. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Animal Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 I'm sure that's a slight exaggeration Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexM Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 Perhaps a slight one yeah. EDC at Silverstone on the 7th, Japmids meet, and the Lakes run. I'd like to go to all three.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazzi Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 Silverstone - too far south for me Japmids - guessing this is Middle Earth *cough* Midlands - still no where near our border Lakes - Spitting image of Yorkshire's fine countryside and some...

hoff Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 Im back:D Great driving around scotland but next time I'll be going right up to the Highlands for the drive:eyebrows: Mark, mate all i do is wash the supe. Its th polishing I dont do:tongue: The seats have been ordered Dazzi:) I dealt directly with Cobra who are based in Telford which is only 30 mins away. They have apparently sorted the issue with the sub frames which imi off here highlighted to them. They have taken a Bride subframe which he supplied (I think) and have used that as a template:) Imi is very happy with the outcome but mine will be the 1st set since his so they have asked me to go there to get them fitted. This is a good thing as they will get it spot on and are sure they wont have any issues:) if they do they will sort it so Im in good hands. The frames are taking between 2 and 3 weeks to produce so im looking at late next week or early the week after. Im going to have to pull a sickie as I have no more holiday time left:innocent: I will post pics and a detailed(ish) report on the fitting, along with pics of the new wheels which im really starting to love the look of now on the car and my new Stillen which should finally be ready this week:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazzi Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 Everything seems to be down in Shropshire. I was only down there 2 weeks ago. Must pop over and see what seats they got - is it a show room or just their office? Glad you had a good time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoff Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 Cheers mate:) Not sure mate if they have a show room. I'll let you know though:) If you ever fancy popping down this way give me a shout and I can see who I can get together for a little meet and a pint:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazzi Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 A meet just for me? Golly gosh.... I'll give you a shout sometime mate, busy on the car atm and probably for the next couple of months!! Driven it twice in 2 weeks as most of the time it up on ramps lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexM Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Has anyone found themselves driving the Autobox in Manual mode? I've done over 600 miles this week and the lack of involvement is driving me nuts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoff Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Lol, thats not good Dazzi. Alex driving in manu mode is ok. Its nippier but will use more fuel. You'll soon start to appreciate the autobox;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animal Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 I never bother switching to manual mode, but I use the stick quite a lot, locking it in 2nd for some corners to keep the power on and not get any unexpected kickdowns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexM Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 I appreciate the autobox for the work commute Adam, but for a fun drive it's just sucking the enjoyment out of it. I suppose it won't be so bad when I have the other one on the road, then I can at least have some manual fun prior to my being able to afford a conversion!

hoff Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 You'll have the best of both worlds then mate:) I know waht you are saying though, Ive seen a few manuals on here for sale and was very tempted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexM Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 I will do when I get there! I've got a stock airbox in my back seat to fit to the white one, hopefully picking up calipers/discs this week as well. It's going to be tight to get it running nicely before the track day though, still need full service / clutch change.. buckets are probably going to have to wait until next year and I need to get a helmet! When is your stillen being done? I'd like to see it on a properly done car so I can decide whether to shift it to the red one or not... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoff Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 It should have been done last weekend mate while I was away but Ive not had a chance to see him so not sure. Im hoping it will be on this week though:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazzi Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Up on the ramps out of choice Hoff, not broken parts haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoff Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 Well thats a bit differant:) Im still waiting to put that bloody manifold on. The guy doing my bumper is having some familly crisis as he seems to be sleeping in a camper van somewhere, not with his wife and kids. So I cant get hold of him to see if its done:( My girlfriends bro has just split up with hiss girlfriend so aint in the mood to do the manifold, and I cant really push him on it too hard cause he's a bit gutted:( And Im still waiting for the subframes to be made for the seats:( Im not a patient person at the best of times so this is killing me:taped: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazzi Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 If I lived closer I'd give you a hand with the manifold as I've fitted one before. Shame Shropshire isn't on the way to anywhere and its not just down the M1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoff Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 Cheers mate, thats a nice gesture:) Shropshire is a bit like the Shire:D Just found out my bumper hasn't even been started yet:taped: I will get a quote from the guy Im seeing tonight for that as well (but he's a busy guy so will probably leave it where it is). At this rate I'll be getting a full respray done:blink: Cant afford that though:( The brother in law has a couple of pulsars and 2 skylines in his workshop at the moment but the pulsars will be out within a week so we'll do the manifold then:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
