looks like me, and my missus, might be coming to this one (its ok - she loves supe's too ) Luke, when you're online next we can sort something out

gonna say - when i get my car done i take it to the 1 and only garage that i trust 100%. Anyone else and I'm panicking that he'll be messing with stuff, nicking stuff, or damaging my pride and joy. Its a leon, not a supra - but with my supra I'll be worse.

what money would you be using for said engine then? I thought you said you were thinking of going bankrupt....?

lol at u lot.. Luke, theres about 12-odd supra's down my way - i'm not looking to buy - just looking to see a supra in the flesh again, so to speak. All these photos are great, but nothing like the real thing. The "brown/bronze" one is the closest - hence why i'll go and look - they got a few other nice cars there too...

i believe insurance like this becoming available to the UK would mean we'd see a LOT of publicity on it - tv reports, newspapers etc etc. People would be really shouting about it as it is quite a major saving for 1000's of people. As i've heard diddely squat, and people say the sites look naff, I definately won't be going with it. I've worked bloomin hard from 18-24 to get my 6yrs no claims (soon to be 7) and i don't fancy losing it.

its at the place thats been known to be dodgy in the past Southampton, just over the bridge - family prestige and performance or something or other. Loads of skylines etc, but 1 relatively nice supe

theres an interesting Supra TT about 2 miles from my house luke... looks nice - might pop in and take a wee look on saturday

From the way i understand it, the higher octane fuel will give a better/stronger "explosion" and so less of the fuel is required to get the same power, and hence a better mpg is achieved. This, of course, assumes that you are not driving your car like a nutter - as you'll just be putting more fuel in and not noticing the gained power. Put it this way - I have a remap on my car, giving my car around an extra 50bhp, as proven on an RR. Now, this would essentially decrease my mpg, because i'm getting more power out of the car. However - look at it like this - when i'm on the motorway, its taking less effort to get to 70mph, and then less effort to keep it at that speed, and so i actually get a BETTER mpg from a remap than i do a std car. So I could look at it like the remap is essentially paying for itself (albeit over a LONG period of time) This is the case with the Leon anyway - for definate. Lots of owners agree. I'd assume all cars are the same in this respect...

ok so it seems that the per component idea is winning by quite a fair whack... I am willing to help do this (unless you don't want me to of course) - but I'd need a list of every main manufacturer of kit parts so i could start to collate images of each one. So if anyone is willing to post up here a list of manufacturers and what parts they offer it'd be good For example: Veilside - front/rear bumpers, skirts, spoilers. Do luck - front/rear bumpers, ..... etc

just a quickie - how are you guys removing and replacing the cat? Is it easy enough to do on a driveway? Or do u need a garage to do it? And how long does it take roughly?

in fact, here is a link: http://www.computerweekly.com/Articles/2006/04/06/215257/eBaybanscashpaymentsinbidtotacklefraud.htm

well, i'm CERTAIN i read that they did ban it - and if its the case then surely ebay must be partly to blame by allowing this auction to take place?

i thought ebay had banned western union payments???

sounds too good to be true - so probably isn't true...

another hampshire member! growing strong down here - hope to see more supe's about now

Wait til u get a BP garage offering their new petrol.... its 102 ron! From tests they've seen a 7% increase in power from a standard car - but its £2.40/litre!

my leon runs much better on 97/98ron than it does 95. not only that, but as mentioned, i get far more mileage out of the higher octane stuff - so it almost pays for itself.

that makes more sense now - still wouldnt want to risk it myself!

its not 3rd party fire and theft - if u read the doc u copied - its liability to third party only- if the car catches fire or is stolen you are not covered. EDIT: I have a quinn direct policy in front of me (a colleagues) and his is the same.

TBH i find it very difficult for a loop-hole like this to exist - otherwise every 17 yr old will be driving their dads supercar while paying a measily 100 notes insuring a metro 1.1...? Still, i suppose its possible - but hope you'll be ok with coughing up for the repair costs to the supra if it happens.

so ur insurance certificate states you can drive the toyota supra? Doesnt point 3 in that list state that the car you intend on driving must be declared on the certificate of insurance? or am i mis-understanding?
