  2. Is it wearing the wheel out on your mouse CJ? Should get a chav mouse.... upgraded to a sparco wheel!
  3. Hi Guys, You may remember me from the threads 'Carbonisation killed my engine' ... followed by 'Carbonisation has now killed my gearbox'. Well post engine and gearbox rebuild there was an issue with the gear changes and kickdown above the standard limit (Common problem with the vvti tip when delimiting). Those fine men at MKIVStore checked out the ecu and found a complete bloody mess... This eventually lead to a complete tidy up and removal of the cheap liitle gadget to delimit and convert the speedo. (Thanks Jody). I was told that all had become beautiful again. Smooth, and fast. So off I toddle tonight to pick her up. She had just come back from a final run to check the new battery (following a few days testing) and ......... ....the radiator cracked. So Jody is coming in especially to replace the radiator tomorrow (God bless him) and hopefully Martin will find time to road test it before I try to pick it up again. :) This car has been with me for 3 weeks in the past 12 and that was with a faulty coilpack and ignition leads during the 1000 mile run in so I haven't really had the car for 3 months. Now I'm thinking if I don't get the car back tomorrow, I'm going to have to end it all with an overdose. I was planning to use a hosepipe pipe from the exhaust but the car just ain't reliable enough! Am I allowed to say Bollocks at this point?
  4. Hi Ewan, I have just joined you on this. Before I had my car rebuilt (engije and gearbox) and before the problems I had a couple of moments where the car lost it on accelarating gently up then when the box chenged t 3rd in full auto it needed another couple of inches pedal to restore the revs. Now following the rebuild MKiVStore hit probelms straight away with kickdown and clunky gear changes they have removed the delimiter and all seems sweet. I think they also rebuilt the gearings in the throttle assembly at some point. My question is to you though.... now things seem cool with yours, are you planning to put the Blitz sonic back on as I am currently running a Blitz SUS and will keep an eye on this old problem reappearing.
  5. I'm away until Saturday evening... may join up with you guys if the plans gain any clarity... IMHO Wales Rally over 3 days is not a place for street racers, even car parks which are in forest areas are usually gravelled areas and you can imagine how the ford escort chavs drive in and out of them! The main site to get info is... http://www.walesrallygb.com/tickets/tickets1.php This gives a picture of the stages where they are and on what days. http://msaevents.datagate.net.uk/wrgb/artman/uploads/wrgb_overall.pdf Finally, It's not cheap! Tickets for Wales Rally GB go on sale on 2nd June. To avoid disappointment we would encourage you to buy your tickets as early as possible, and in advance of the event.

Swansea Service Park Adult Price £5 Child price £2.50 Cardiff Stage at the Millennium Stadium Per prices as shown above but strictly subject to availability Car Parks While the numbers of each different type of pass and ticket are limited, spectators who buy a Day Pass or the World Rally Pass can choose their own itinerary including the stages they wish to visit and the car parks they want to use. Availability at any car park will be on a first come first served basis and is not guaranteed. To avoid disappointment, you should arrive at your chosen car park in plenty of time. The Rally Planner will provide car park opening hours. Spectators buying on the day stage passes will have to use a specific car park at each of these stages. The Millennium Stadium The Stadium is well sign-posted from the M4 and surrounding routes, with electronic signs advising which junction to exit the motorway. There is no car parking allocated for spectators who purchase tickets for the Millennium Stadium, spectators should use the city centre car parks where they will be required to pay for parking and space is not guaranteed. Swansea Service Park Swansea Service Park is situated off Junction 46 of the M4. Traveling either from the South or North, take Junction 46 off the M4, and approach the roundabout. Turn left here, and head down the hill. When you arrive at the next roundabout, turn left again and follow the signs to the service park. Public transport The majority of stages are located in the forest, therefore access by public transport is not feasible. There are main transport links to Cardiff including trains and buses. There are buses that operate between Swansea Quadrant bus station and Swansea Service Park.
  6. I have a brand new one here as well in silver.... they are screw fit. same offer once supersupras has gone due to the blatant hijack! pm me.
  7. my current Supra... Should be out of the garage by then
  8. You won't go wrong with an FTO. Remember that this won sportscar of the year in Japan in 1994 and 95 which shows what the build and styling is like when you consider it was up against the Supe and others. I had no problems with mine except a failing alternator which was caused by a dud battery requiring some jump starts from bigger ampage cars. 3 years of hassle free motoring. Make sure it's a gpx mivec and you'll be starting off with 200bhp and brilliant traction around the twistys for on those odd days when you will need to drive it. One more thing... don't get a red one unless you like pink spoilers and mirrors!
  9. Saw both these at Reading festival in 1975. Headliners were Wishbone Ash, Hawkwind and Yes. American band stole the show though .. 5 robotic guys all in yellow boiler suits called DEVO http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZeNATa3JBoU http://video.google.co.uk/videoplay?docid=-2497629351067187102&q=devo+are+we+not+men My son has also pointed me to Weird Al....you're pitiful This'll stop my wifes obsession with James Blunt! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cnt48N1OFm8
  10. Englishman. Scotsman and Irishman in a bar taliking about their teenage daughters.... The Englishman says, " I come home today and found my daughters coat on the floor. I picked it up and a packet of fags fell out of the pocket........... and I didn't know she smoked!" Scotsman said, "I picked up my daugters bag off the chair yesterday and a bottle of whisky fell out....... and I didn't even know she drank!" Irishman said, "well I went into my daughters bedroom the other night to close her window and found a packet of condoms on the bedside table....... (wait for it.......) ... and I didn't even know she had a cock!"
  11. Ya big wimp! I had one a couple of years ago. Bit of spray in the back of your throat then the tube is put down. Breathe when you can...it's ok when it's going down... gagging when it's being pulled back. Once in your stomach they move it up and down as they are checking you out, so the only infuriating thing is the nurse telling you to breathe properly in the midddle of gagging. If she had not been a minger it kinda want's you to shove your cock down her throat and tell her to fickin breathe properly. Couple of things...They also usually take a biopsy by grabbing a bit of stomach tissue with an integral part of the scope, andthat stayed sore for a day. Be prepared for tears as the gagging makes your eyes water so take a hanky (or pair of your birds briefs would be a bigger laugh for the staff). The total procedure time was less than 5 minutes. My dad was told he had to have both a gastroscopy and colonoscopy and they would do both procedures in the same visit. He asked if they could do the gastroscopy first! They didn't even see the joke. Makes you respect the actresses in the film deep throat, I can tell you!
  12. I am thinking of replacing the red and orange side lights on my facelift supra for clear ones. Can any traders get hold of these? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/TOYOTA-SUPRA-97-98-CLEAR-SIDE-FRONT-BUMPER-LIGHTS_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33715QQihZ020QQitemZ300040251160QQrdZ1

    New to Supras...

    Is that to match the workout you give your right side at bedtime?
  15. Best Aussie accents please.... Bruce is sitting in his lounge watching the tele when he hears his missus Sheila screaming from the bathroom. He shoots upstairs and finds her stark naked, having just got out of the shower, doing the splits. "What the fuck's happened Sheila?" he asks. Sheila says sobbing, "I slipped on the wet floor and I can't get up". Bruce tried desperately to pull her up but couldn't budge her. He said, "well you've gone and suctioned yourself to the floor with your fanny! I'll need to get Bill from next foor to help me shift you". 2 minutes later they are both there trying to lift her with absolutely no effect and Bill says," you've done a great job there Sheila, you really have suctioned yourself to the floor. I'll need to go back home and get a hammer then I'll smash the tiles around your fanny to break the vacuum, that way we can release the suction and get you free". Bruce said "OK then, I'll start playing with her tit's ". Bill said "what the fuck do you want to do that for?" "Well I figure" Bill says, "if I can get her wet enough, I can slide her into the landing coz the tiles are cheaper there!"
  16. I fitted mine yesterday and was stuck to my car for an hour. I'm free now but does anyone know how to change the polarity on a magnet as I need my watch back!
