  1. So from a purely functional point of view, it'd be a bit like putting ballet shoes on an elephant
  2. Thought I'd better check it wasn't broken (actually, I just went straight to Nic's section, as he has pictures up of pretty much everything now!)
  3. Facelift lights are black and don't have the sticky-up side light bit. See pics here: http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=98432

    Supra's Back End

    Isn't driving-and-emailing dangerous?
  5. As opposed to all those aerodynamically tested bodykits & spoilers?

    Supra's Back End

    crap / worn / wrong-sized rear tyres, bad geometry, aging suspension components that could do with being replaced, bad driving, wrong sizing of wheels; the list goes on.
  7. http://www.freewebs.com/theallmightycow/PWNED!.JPG
  8. The wastegate is what controls the boost, the others are merely for pre-spooling and stuff. If your car is in TTC then the pre-spooling bits will be permanently open/closed (whichever) anyway, hence no reason to attach the solenoid to them. Sooooooo, attach it to only the wastegate actuator in order to control the boost.
  9. Cool, cheers matey. The company will be paying for all my accommodation, car, etc so no problems there. I'll just get a tarpaulin for the missus and cut some eye-holes out
  10. I bought my garage floor paint from screwfix really cheap. 2 coats of it and it's lasted nearly 3 years so far of my garage tinkering
  11. As above, really. I'm currently working in Bahrain, but have accepted a job for a different company in Qatar - has anyone experienced it first hand? I've heard it's a bit stricter as far as Islamic laws and customs are concerned (though of course, nowhere near as bad as Saudi!) and living costs are more expensive, but anyone get anything to add to that?
  12. Sorry, I meant distributor. And proof that I'm not going daft (yet): http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showpost.php?p=1617320&postcount=10
  13. Yep. http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/member.php?u=189
  14. Holy Jesus titty-f**king Christ, that is bad. What kind of bodyshop thought that painting cabinet doors onto it would look good?
  15. Oh goody, it's started up again. Gives me something to read at work now. That's a coincedence, i didn't either.
  16. UK manifold, UK turbos, UK downpipe & UK valve thing (I think it's the exhaust gas recirculation valve, it only came with the UK specs).
  17. Reminds me of my mum's mate who killed the engine in her Punto - when she was told to fill it with oil, she filled it right to the top of the rocker cover! Sounds like they let the work-experience lad fill it for you!
  18. I think Nick on this forum is a Mines dealer, and may be able to trace details of your ECU through the database if you give him the serial number. of course, I could be completely wrong, and Nick might be a greengrocer.
  19. http://www.mohdparts.com - He's US based, but I've always had parts delivered in 5 working days or so. Cheap, too.
  20. Also take the back of the control box and have a look for any loose connections - someone may have bodged an attempt at changing the bulbs.
