Is this anyones on here? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1996-TOYOTA-SUPRA-3-0-24V-DO-LUCK-TRD-6-SPEED-MANUAL_W0QQitemZ4653619587QQcategoryZ18290QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

I used the last of my auto glym (before i reaslied it wasn't enough to give a good coat) then went over the top with turtle wax and it all went a bit shiny!

Its not black - its the brownish grey 1a1

...and i washed it with a sponge

Cleaned my car last night. Bit random but I polished over polish with two different types and it went crazy shiny!? I'm so proud...

The reason i don't just want to just try it and see, is that my trip distance and stuff are counting in miles and i don't know if taking out the speedo and converter box out will screw this up... I don't want to do a load of soldering for no reason!

The one at the mement has a jspec dash with the MPH sticker in there, i want to swap it for a UK cluster. Does that work, any ideas?

Has anyone done this????????

I've got an N/A Sup. Its been converted to MPH. I've also got UK spec clocks, if i put these in it will it work or f@@k up?

I think spray the wheels grey. like the skyline r34 has.

First thing i thought was Max Power, second thing i thought was i love it and i want some! Does that make me an evil chav boy racer?

It depends how strong the alloy is. I'm not an expert but i think this process is called CNC. Some CAD contolled milling device i think, its how one off wheels are made so it can't be that bad if done properly...

Congratulations, you can get one of the import MPV's now with all the stick on spoilers!

ebay always has second hand recaro's, loads of savings to be had but the sub frames are dear. I like the sparco's with a fixed back - you can get extra wide ones

I think the 16 year olds on scooters are the best...

but a stationary car is effectively moving when a door is opened. The door moved into the approaching car and hit the side of it... ...its going to go 50/50 basically with no witness. Insurers love that as bang goes your no claims, up goes your premium and the excess will cover pretty much all of the repair. tossers

1000 is getting close to re-spay money isn't it? You could change the colour... but with your luck at the moment someone would probably drive into you on the way back from the spray shop!

Surely that can't be right otherwise your insurance wouldn't cover you for single track roads!?

Ok some woman has just opened her car door into my other half's car as she was driving past. Problem is she is trying to put the blame on her! So has anyone got experience or ideas of how this can be sorted without it going 50/50? The damage is on the front arch, with none at the front of the car which is where you would expect it if she had driven into an already open door.

what about the people who drive the little oap buggy things on the road as if they are cars!

What is it with motorcyclists! They cut you up, they undertake, overtake they think they own the god damn road but guess what the sun shines out of their arse! However the worst thing, if you do something wrong in their eyes you get the wobbly head man shake of disapproval like you’ve just disappointed your dad – I’d rather get the finger! So wobbly head man appears behind me coming up to a road about, and then braking to a stop he sits in my blind spot so I have no idea where he is. So I push the loud peddle as I pull away to try and create a gap between the two of us and head for the motorway slip road. All of the traffic sticks to the left hand lane here and then spreads into the two lanes of the slip way as you enter it… but no not wobbly head man, he is trying to get his knee down (mostly by leaning off the bike as its still pretty much upright) by sweeping in from the right lane. So now I’ve pulled out in front of wobbly head in the overtaking lane, seeing him I’ve accelerated harder to avoid a wobbly moment but it’s too late. I hit the motorway and the sound of a middle aged man in leather trying to cling to a bike far to fast for him comes screaming past giving me the shake of disapproval. (I mentally reach for my wheel wrench and dream of clumping it round his head!) Then further down the m-way he slows down and I come past him. Moments later wobbly head man is back amongst the traffic weaving his way through and just as I need to pull off at my junction there he is – right on my bumper waiting to undertake. So the indicator is going he is still there behind me so I move across… wobbly, wobbly feckin’ wobbly man gives it the bigger shakes this time and - screeeeeech he comes past. I hate you, I bloody hate you! Take the train next time you scum bag!!!!! And breathe.

I think there is some truth in this you know, paint on plastic comes out a slightly different shade if only marginal. I can tell a little difference on my car also in direct bright sunlight

Anyone looking for 18s? I just spotted what I think are new wheels on the market and they look good... http://www.ultralitewheels.co.uk/005-HIKARI.htm ... I bought the Ultralite WP-784-TWIN-5 rims for mine last October which were very reasonably priced. These were not available at that point so I assume they are new.

anyone!! Does this lance W alignment info work just on 17s or can i use it on my 18s? I need to get it done, my wheels are 235/40/18 front on 8" wide rim and 265/35/18 9" wide rim http://www.mkiv.com/techarticles/lance_alignment/index.html
