I bought some second hand OEM 17" with winter tyres on a while back, spent quite a while preparing them, then somehow ended up with a choice of two colours, it was going to be the lighter Gray then I did one in the dark Gray now I can not chose between them. So which is your choice out of the two, its going to be one or the other. Thanks.

Now that's what you call stock, looks like OEM exhaust too, looks in great condition.

That's the way to go, hand painted with a brush, matt black, did this to a Vauxhall Victor many, many moons ago and loved it, it was only a cheep run around toy, the brush strokes really made it.

I would be interested, depending on the £.

And another bump.

Bump

I'm after two of the metal retaining rings that hold the plastic wheel nut covers in place, these are for UK 17" if that makes a difference, or if no one has these, two plastic covers in average condition (with retaining rings in place) please. Bob.

Here is mine from the last SRR day, I'm full BPU/Auto/uk, running 1.15 bar for those runs, (HP and torque).

Get a nur spec R and a bung, the bung is perfect for general, (and for me when my wife is in) and then when you want to play or be a bit more aggresive take the bung out, I and quite a few others think the R has the perfect sound for the Supra TT.

I go with PJ, see if there is one nearer you, I was out there on Monday and Tuesday getting a load of gear, (I'm making four half oil drum barbies) I think they do orders on the net, give them a look, very help full.

I love this type of thread, its just given me 3 hours of great entertainment, once you look at a clip you move onto one of the others, then onto more, great fun. I particularly liked the following tracks:- Johnny Cash, Nightwish (phantom of the opera), Stereophonics, Jorn, HIM and I have always liked Placebos cover. Well done people keep them coming.

looking really good in your photos, should look even better in the mag, looking forward to buying it. Well done.

Thanks Homer, I should be there at start time but will have to leave around 13.00/14.00.

Hi Homer, sorry I didn't get back to you till now I've been away camping all weekend, if you could get me in for a run in the morning that would be good, I'm in a BPU auto. Thanks.

Going to come along to this now, with a couple of friends, looks like it will be quite an entertaining day, wouldn't have minded going on, but all the morning slots are taken, I will have to leave around 13.00 though, have a big night out to go too starting at 18.00.

Gizzits I'm putting this in this thread, because its only for the people going to Japfest, hope that's ok mods. Going free to good homes. 1 x UK intake manifold. 1 x UK throttle body. 1 x full set of Turbo pipes. 1 x set of cream UK seats (front only) in good condition. Sorry I mean seat COVERS. anyone want anything see me at either Reading or Japfest. Also 2 x entry tickets, £10 for the pair (sorry not gizzits), would have to pick up at Reading or at the entry gate, (phone numbers to be sorted). Hope some of this is of some use to some one.

Hi people sorry I haven't posted till now, I was into work at 19.00 Sunday, slept most of Monday and back to work last night, where I managed to read half the new posts. Firstly I have to say a huge thanks to Branners for being so patient and sorting so much out whilest he too was on holiday, thanks, also a big thanks to abz, karma, Chris, steve, Scott, Wilee, Dr J, and damb it everyone else for doing lots of all sorts to make it a very memorable weekend away. Japfest is going to seem calm by comparison, see all the Dragonball people Saturday, start cleaning again.

Leaving now from near Southampton, in London for the day and going to the O2 tonight, should get to the Travelodge midnight ish, so see you all tomorrow. Happy days.

I'm slightly confused now (thats not hard though) are we doing all that on the first day? I thought those venues were being spread across the three days, wifey won't be keen on doing all that on the first day, neither would I actually, (old man sindrome) I would have to sleep through Sat/Sun to recover. Thanks for the advice on the petrol Tracey I will need to fill up before we leave for France and the one at junction 11 sounds good, my wife Tricia is just going to love having around 5 hours sleep before we leave.

Sounds good Scott, we will see you at Ashford Travelodge between 0615 and 0630, do you know if there are any V power garages around the Ashford area?

Thanks Ian, thought it would be about that time. My wife is going to be the same Dave, infact she will probably have to stay up from when we get there till we leave, sorting things out.

Just paid for another ticket. Thanks.

Hi Richard, just seen this thread, sorry you're having problems, I wouldn't have thought it was the exhaust though, I have a Greddy controller fitted, and I was running 1.25 boost on the high setting, and hitting it every time with the RX on. Hope you get it sorted.

A question for those who are staying overnight at the Travelodge at Ashford on Thursday, I won't be getting there till midnight ish and probably won't see anyone and I just want to find out what time we are planning to leave on Friday morning to get the train. Thanks.

I like to say a huge thanks to Christian, "cheers mate". What Christian does is worth every penny, some people may think "I'm not paying that for someone to wash my car", let me tell you, its way, way more than that, if like me you can't afford to have a good respray done then having this done is the next best thing. After a carefull drive home, (so it doesn't get dusty, mad I know) it was covered imediatelly, trying to keep it nice for the France trip, but it is also my daily drive. It was good to meet Christian again, but I wish he would have mentioned the pack of hounds that were there to greet us as the gates opened, the English bull dog was a hell of a character though, it was also a buz to have a quick burst as a passanger in his TVR. Thanks again. Bob.
