  1. Thats the first 3 tone supra I've seen. Chip Foose would be jealous!
  2. I had a 91 Corolla GTI (AE92 model) before I got my Supra. I have to say it was a great car with plenty of poke for a 1.6, and it handled like it was on rails (modded suspension). If I was as confident in my Supra of taking bends like I could in my Corolla GTI I'd be very happy ..but getting back on topic, yep your mate is a muppet for saying stock MR2's can take Supe TT's.
  3. Some insurance companies offer 'classic car' insurance on vehicles over 10 years, such as Lancaster Insurance. This will usually cost less than 'non classic car' insurance. I got 2 decent quotes when I was getting my Supra, one was the official Supra Owners Club Insurer (Sky Insurance) and the other was Lancaster Insurance, Lancaster was cheaper on a classic car policy by £500 for me, thats with an agreed value for the car and like for like on the mods (just like what Sky offer). The only downside is I have limited mileage (not a real problem in my case) and Im not covered to drive another persons car 3rd party. With regards to MPG, I calculated mine at 12 but I have a fuel management system mapped a bit richer than normal. It costs around £70 to fill the tank. To keep the Supra in tip top shape, you'll have to service it more regularly than I guess you service your current car (oil change around 3000 miles for example). Reliability is great, and its one of the best looking cars on the road...not to mention the performance of the TT The FAQ forums have some very useful info too.
  4. You need a SILVER one Rob ...it reminds them of jewellery
  5. I've heard that the facelift plastic lights don't suffer from the same 'yellowing' issues as pre-facelift plastic ones.
  6. Damn your having some shit luck m8, I would be well pissed off in your shoes. Hopefully you'll get some useful CCTV footage and get the chance to bury your foot into the persons face.
  7. According to http://uk.pc.ign.com/objects/794/794327.html: Release Date: US: Summer 2006 Europe: August 30, 2006
  8. oh bugger Isn't GTR2 released this month?

  10. Anyone here tried out the PC demo for the GTR2 FIA Racing game? I've just downloaded it and its pretty impressive. :: http://www.10tacle.com/gtr-game/
  11. Cheers Jason, Where abouts is Ian located?
  12. Cheers Everyone, Has anyone fitted an eManage themselves?....is it an easy thing to do or something best left to a professional (which Im definitely not lol).
  13. Cheers guys - I must admit I thought that deal included the ecu as well but having just re-read after your comments realised it doesnt
  14. Hi Im currently acquiring mods so I can go BPU in the near future. My J-Spec TT came with the silver FCON-V piggy back ecu. I obviously dont have a clue how its was mapped in Japan and believe it is unmappable over here. When I go BPU I want my car running as sweet as possible, not lean, but not so rich that I get poorer-than-necessary mileage (I currently get 12mpg as it is). I was therefore thinking of replacing the FCON unit with a Greddy eManage (Blue) since there are numerous places that can map them. Question 1: Is a piggy back ECU overkill for a BPU TT? Question 2: I came across the following on Thors website, does this look like a good deal? :: http://www.thor-racing.co.uk/Emanage_BLUE_FIT_and_MA-Emanage_MAP.asp Cheers
  15. F.E.A.R is a great game, best played in a dark room with surround sound set pretty high Don't know if any of you have played FarCry by Crytek (UBI Game), another FPS that has some brown cloth moments when played in the dark with sound up. It also has great AI and is the most non-linear FPS game ever with vast open maps you can explore. Next big FPS game will be Crysis by Crytek (EA Game).
  16. I've heard steam cleaning the engine bay is bad as it can screw up the electrics. Shame as my engine bay needs a bit of a clean to get the 10yr old crap off it.
  17. I subscribed a while back having read another thread on the same topic. Hopefully he'll pull it off, but I doubt he'll be able to get 10pence per litre off, maybe more realistic to aim for 5pence. I've also seen it on a motor show on tv, not sure if it was 5th gear, or one of the other 'men and motor' channel ones. The guy behind it owns an Evo, Im sure thats plays a big part in his aim to get cheaper fuel
  18. They do "Wash Wipes", no water needed - its like a baby wipe for you car - cleans it :: http://www.armorall.co.uk/armorallproducts/extra2.html Im off to wash/wax my other car
  19. Its a normal wash & wax solution that you add to your bucket of water, it contains Carnauba wax which gives it the showroom shine.
  20. lol, Im not sure how much of a shine those hotdogs would leave on the car
  21. Anyone here used this stuff? (the one on the right in the pic below) I used it today for the first time and it leaves one hell of a shine, as if I've just washed the car with lacquer! http://www.fasteronline.co.uk/images/ARM24001EN.jpg Thought I'd mention it Disclaimer: I am not affiliated with this company whatsoever, but its the best wash and wax product I've ever used.

    BLOODY lids!!!!

    If you get no joy speaking to the parents, get some sweets and soak them in a laxative, then give them the kids.
  24. Money wouldnt be a problem if our Government would invest the grand total it makes from Road Tax alone back into the roads.
