  1. Silver soop that pulled level with me last night on the great leighs bypass near Notley Village Tesco, I turned left to go to Tesco in my black TT, you headed straight over towards whitecourt/town. Anyone on here?
  2. Possibly the exhaust mate but I always felt my 2nd come on no matter what speed I was moving at providing I was at the right rpm. I've just changed the stock exhaust to a 3" RSR with Whifbitz decats and the tubs are even more noticeable now... I kinda know what you mean though, sometimes depending on where the rev needle is sitting when you floor it you start accelerating from the flat spot between turbos, rather than it kicking down to the sweet spot in the next gear down. I found the best way of getting the 'pull' was to learn what revs you end up at when kicking down and making sure that you hit it. I use the manual mode a lot aswell so I can pre-plan where I want the rpm.
  3.

  4. Thanks matey, why don't you treat the little lady
  5. Pokerstars.com is my prefered gambling haunt, load of real and free tournaments, pretty friendly and easy to join. I'd be well up for a supra poker night!
  6. That'll be my bad, think I might have quoted the wrong list when I added myself
  7. I live not a million miles from stansted so would love to join anyone heading M11 way. Only trouble is the time factor, its gonna be a mission getting over that kinda direction for 6.00 - 6.30 as I work in Witham. I'll do my best! Might be easier to join the convoy at Brentwood but it will depend who's meeting where.

  9. They look great mate, don't suppose you have 1x set B available still? I'll have one if so
  10. Hi Andy, The car is still for sale, I haven't actually got around to advertising it properly yet as I've had too much on over christmas. Its pretty good on the mpg really, i'd say that the figures you have found are pretty accurate. I see you have a Punto, a really good friend of mine has a really nice HGT and is a mod on http://www.puntomk2.co.uk , he knows the puma really well as i've had it for almost five years. His name is 'potts', feel free to get in touch with him if you fancy a second opinion, otherwise please feel free to come and have a look, pm me if you are interested. Cheers Mark
  11. Is the aerial new or used? If used does it all work ok? Do you accept paypal?
  12. Buy it, fit it, smile One of the first things I did when I bought my auto, I bought the HKS SSQV from Nic (importpimp) spent half hour fitting it and haven't stopped grinning since. Fitting is a piece of cake and theres plenty of guides/advice/pictures on here to make it even easier. its a great piece of kit and a bargain from Nic. For that extra bit of 'yes, its a turbo' coolness you should sort yourself out with a boost guage too... looks the nuts and helps you see your progress if you decide to carry on modding. Bought mine on fleabay, only about 30quid!
  13. Yeah, but its worth it Strange thing upgrading a car, kinda like pringles, once you pop you can't stop!
  14. Looks smart mate, in the best colour too!
  15. Accitone (spelling?) My dad used to make fibreglass boats, im sure he used that stuff. I think he just let them soak in it, don't think you will get gel coat or resin out completely though. Also my GF uses it to clean out her nail brushes and stuff. NB - I might be wrong
  16. Good luck with the op mate, hope it all goes well!
  17. Why be ashamed? Your not the only one (see post two) http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=87758 By the way not a shameful plug? I own both and love the puma to bits, i'd say one of the best mainstream coupe/hatchbacks for years. The soops in a different league of course! It handles really well, great gearbox, great looking, pret..... oh sod it just read the advert Maybe a plug
  18. Just a quickie to say thanks to Homer for sorting me out with the RSR exhaust today, i've fitted it and have been hooning around in it this afternoon. It looks the dogs danglies and sounds awesome! I also hit fuel cut for the first time... It was so beautiful! (it means im getting somewhere) FCD, iridium plugs and a walbro going in asap. Was great meeting you, cheers for the lovely cuppa too, Hope to see you again sometime.
  19. A floppy disk's worth is enough for me
  20. Thanks man! It looks great, you even got a hovis shot in there... with chips though... oddly It looks really great and we're both getting really excited about it all. Judging by all of the posts mentioning diving it looks like we'll definitely be trying it. Always wanted to but never have, is it expensive to try?
