    Couldnt agree more with the clutch point.....what an absolute bugger to fit!! A number of garages wouldnt even quote for the job, its that bad. I roped a mechanic friend of mine into doing my mates....he'd done a few years back and afterwards came to me and said that he now remembered why he hadnt done any in years. :d G

    My mate has one. It just has an AVCR boost controller on with a decatted exhaust. It lacks the top end poke but between 40 and 90 is where it does its damage. Good handling too, I cant keep up with my mate if we hit some seriously twisty roads when he's at full attack angle. Very nice cars though.
  5. Spoken to the guy and he is happy to do a group buy. He says he also does a number of other supra parts. I'll get a list and pics of the parts he does and we can take it from there as there may be other stuff people want. Cheers G
  6. Hi Guys, Right have spoken to the guy who makes these and he'd be happy to get some made up. Would people be interested in a group buy on them? If so i'll get a request into the mods for it. Thanks Graeme

  14. sounds really bad but....can I buy the ganador mirrors from you if you buy it back?? G
  15. Hi Mate, I could be interested in taking 3 of the gauges. I just to check a couple of things quickly and i'll get back to you. Cheers G
  16. On a lighter note though. Up in glasgow the Barclays branch received £77mill of transfers from HBOS in one week after the HBOS crash was announced. In an affluent Glasgow area ( I know contraction in terms! ) the HBOS branch indicated millions of pounds worth of withdrawals that were not going back into the system. So that means that in this particular area that there are millions under peoples beds....I always thought that those steel bull bars on the Hilux Surf would be useful for ram raiding.....time to find out!
  17. The valuation of property is primarily the reason behind the downfall of HBOS. Basically their bank has been brought down by one specific corporate department which had a loan order book of £119billion And most of that was secured on property and other paper valuations. When that started to fall apart thats when they went downhill quickly. Unfortunately its the same for most of the banks as they bought a lot of sub prime order books from the US. With each economy now being much more interlinked than previously that has increased the impact of the US crash on other markets and the UK banks were heavily into those order books. The government is making HBOS, RBS and Llyods pay a big price for the rescue packages with the controlling interests but fair play. It serves the banks right for irresponsible lending and huge paper gains that gave the big wigs nice bonuses. I just hope they make sure that these guys arent the ones that benefit from the rescue packages. Hopefully, although we have nationalised 4 banks in effect recently it might see the government generate additional funds through this mechanism rather than increase taxes further.
  18. I'm not a tory..or anything for that matter as I think they are all useless but the funny thing is in my opinion probably the best tory candidate would actually be a "gay pussy" in Portillo. But i dont think he'd be convinced into doing it as he wants to keep his private lilfe away from media interrogation. Not that he should have anything to hide about his lifestyle choice in today's society.
  19. Thats the thing the more economically minded people in industry and financing tend not to have held that opinion of him. Yes very smart, but at trying to hid his overall goal. He managed to mis-manage a hugh period of economic boom and unfortunately this has been aligned to the collaspe of the banking sector due to completely irresponsible lending on a global basis.
  20. We have been taxed more under this labour government than any previously. Gordon Brown was just a bit sneakier about how he did it. It was all through stealth taxing. Plus even worse than that was the introduction of the Nil rate band for companies. That was nothing short of a ploy to get more sole trader to adopt a incorporated status which is harder to back out from and has tighter legislation. Then wait...lets remove that nil rate band and we ultimately have individuals paying more tax. Plus they say the current climate needs people to increase their marginal propensity to consume but they (Captain Darling) elected to increase the tax rate for small companies. Thereby taxing the businesses with the potential to increase employment and further the GDP of the country. Smart move boys!
  21. X2 oh wait...plus selling our gold reserves at record low prices. Secondly, managing to oversea the maintenance of our national debt during a sustained period of economic boom whilst a multitude of european countries utilised the period to reduce/eliminate their national debt....oh no not us, that would be too clever, but yet we'll blow millions on a big dome in London! I'm almost ashamed he's scottish...i mean we are meant to be stingy gits after all!
  22. Man that is unbelievable...bad luck or what. Sorry to hear mate.
