  1. Mmmmmm nice that looks familiar! Come on guys what Jim forgot to mention is it is owned by a careful lady owner! Honestly Jim, send a BOY to do a MANS job!
  2. Babe, if you are doing your PGCE have you got a placement set up for the near future? I work at David Lister School in Hull and we take PGCE students, from Sheffield Hallam, so it would not be unusual for someone from over the pennines. What I am getting at is if you looked around for a placement, perhaps there would be a teacher that could put you up, if you came to ours I could ask around for you!?! What area are you studying?
  3. Primer yes, it stabilises the plastic chemically. I used laquer, it adds to the shine.
  4. Finally someone has spotted me! Yeah that was me, I had come back from France and was stopping in Holiday Inn just up the road. Washing the dirty frenchness of the car! Enjoyed the visit, liked Maidstone. Went to the Zoo with the palace of the apes, cant remember the place name was it Lymph? Great!
  5. Eyeballed you as we headed home towards hull, nice white Supra for a minute I thought someone had pinched mine! Nice Car!
  6. Dude, thanks a billion. Got my PSP today!!!! Goodness knows what I will do with it!
  7. Just to let you know jim_supra is the official blame monkey........ Darkrider, Mad Matt, myself and others have blamed him on numerous occasions for things and it is totally satisfying. Just PM him if you want to blame him for something!
  8. cos she is fudge coloured, well at least thats what my girlfriend thinks! We have another rabbit - a black one called liquorice! (I think thats how you spell it)
  9. would someone as innocent looking as that do such a thing?
  10. Well it was sunny and warm, I was at home so I thought I would let my girlfriends rabbit out of its hutch, into the garden. Fudge, was scampering about and enjoying the sun, so I though I would leave her to it and go inside for sometime. Any way I decided to go out and I thought I better get the rabbit in, could not find her anywhere - behind the shed, NO! Oh no I have lost the rabbit, how do I explain this to my girlfriend? Well I was at the front of the car, taking a quick look at the front, when I heard a scuffle, so upon opening the bonnet, this is what I was confronted with! She had clambered in through the front and was scampering about on the undertray. I wonder if I can train her to do jobs for me?

    Acetone

    No No No, dont do it :thumbdown ACETONE will break up the oil particles, it is an extremely good solvent. It has a double bonded oxygen which has spare electrons for bonding, so it likes to jump in between the huge hydrocarbon chains what we call oil. I used all the time when I was working up experiments, as it is a perfect solvent for seperating emulsions, mixtures. So as everyone else is saying do not do it! If you are trying to go faster, or clean the system, you would be better to buy kerrosene (paraffin). Check on the side of any injector, octane booster and the main constituent will be that. I might get my PHd buddy to run some octane boster through a mass spec, so I can get the ingredients to make it myself. If there is anything silly or new to try at work, I am the one who always gets asked to do it!
  12. Thanks for letting us know nic!
  13. Mine pulls hard through the range, check out my signature for the spec! Pulls very well above 5000rpm when the throttle is fully open, with the induction kit I have sounds like a turbo whistling.
  14. Dude! Slap your name down on the list, looks like nic only needs 5 names!
  15. I've just posted out the last of the brake kits from the group buy I organised (see details HERE) There seem to be a few members asking about brake upgrades, so if there is enough interest I'll organise another group buy. The prices will be the same as the last one and I would need to order at least 5 sets. Check out the details and prices on the link above and if you are interested in ordering put you name down here, so I can gauge interest 1. Dazsir - set of UK fronts please! 2. 3. 4. 5
  16. About £300 i think, we had a group buy some time ago, here is the link to the company who stock it: http://store.yahoo.com/nonturbo/xerdheaders.html Its great! I can help you if you get one with the fitting, even if its down the end of a telephone!
  17. Green flags' top of the line product cost me £134.00 a year and that includes cover whilst abroad. Excellent value for money, and the fact that they then franchise thier services to garages means they would probably get to you faster? Not that the Supra would break down!
  18. I have done the same and gone with some Headers, via Winston Wolf. Definetly pulls better, the revs seem to pick up faster and there is a rasp to the exhaust now. Fantastic, doubt this is just a placebo effect, as the makers claim power gains. Although BHP might not have gone up significantly, the quicker revs, obviously will increase the affect. Here is a pic of the header next to the old stock "iron-clad"
  19. I knew someone who got bitten by a spider and she came out in quite a rash, very unusual though! Spiders do nest, and they are extremely protective over thier nests, especially to other spiders. The babies hatch and leave the nest immediately, as the mum, will end up eating them! Like the "urban legend" about inhaling or eating spiders, nice! Ought to write to myth busters with that one. First time I have heard about the necrotising virus, that is bloody nasty, seen the damage that does in a medical journal and it makes your stomach turn!
