  1. this is the problem, i got them fitted as part of the service when i first bought the car...i gave it to an indepentant garage, who said that they used toyota oem parts for the job...im going to have them changed anyway, i will get the iridiums as they are highly recommended by everyone it seems..
  2. its definatly reduced in low down acceleration...i guess me getting used to the power is part of it, but the spark plugs have not been changed in over a year...could this contribute to this if they are i nbad condition... How much of a difference would changing poor spark plugs to new ones have as appose to the feel and acceleration of the car...would it be a big difference or a minor one?
  3. Hi I have noticed recently that my car does not pull the way it used to....I have looked after it always kept it oiled etc...however I feel as if its just not producing the same "kick" of acceleration that it used to a few months ago.... Any ideas what could be causing this? I AM still in need to change the spark plugs which have not been changed for 10000 miles...Im hoping that this is what is causing it because im getting it changed soon.... If not what else could be causing this lose of power...i read somewhere that the fuel filter could be decreases pressure in the system....is this true?
  4. I have a shoot on site approach in my yard...0% tolerance for spiders....I have spider corpses on the wall to warn off other spiders... The war on spiders is deadly, they are dirty players and dont play the rules of engagement fairly...I have been ambused several times whilst on the toilet....the most memorable was when i was taking a shit and a suicide spider comes running from under the door (which was infront of me) and kept running straight at me...what could I do i was in the most vunerable position, pants down, sitting on the toilet... Then there are the hybrid spiders that are the Heros to other spiders , those eletric "wave" and sprays dont work...these spiders are militant I once witnessed a spider walk out of the garage, stop next to one of the electric wave wall socket spider repellant things, look at it, smile and then come running straight FOR ME.. Just to scare a few people on here, the black widows sisters actually lives in the south of england especially around surrey...it cant kill likes its black sis, but it can inflict a nasty bite and put u in bed for a few days....
  5. oh man i feel well bad, all i wanted to do was find out any feedback from phoenix and now a whole thread has started off with beef with Knight racer which has nothing to do with it..
  6. yo gaz i was in majorca a couple of weeks ago, go to playa de palma at night its well nice....i was staying up in the north alcundia, some really spectaclier views up and around the place...im thinking to go back in the first week of september
  7. I would do it myself, but I heard it was meant to be quite hard to reach a few of them...
  8. copied this thread out from another thread to avoid any confusion. This was the original thread http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=121220 JB
  9. Hi guys, I had a recommendation about this garage a while back, just wondering if anyone has any feedback comments about them before I give them a call in the morning. Im looking to get my spark plugs changed and have the vehicle inspected, aswell as having my new front bumper sprayed and fitted. Thanks
  10. I saw 2 today as I was coming back from work in Kingston... One was a gun metal i think, drove past the Kingston Police station and past the college then turned left at the roundabout...I was a few cars back Second was a Black L reg, I was right behind you for a a while in Tolworth, you turned left towards the petrol station and waved and I gave you a flash of the lights...
  11. does anyone have aniroll bars on thier supra and if so any difference?
  12. no one really knows what happans though, maybe the biker started it off or something, they could close 1 or 2 lanes, but I dont see why the whole thing needs to be closed...
  13. ahh ok , not to worry, let me know if they become available again
  14. If they are still available can I have the whole set please, I will pay for P&P
  15. have you spoken to your insurance comapny about it yet? what quotes do you have so far?
  16. Hi guys, My front left hand side brakes keep sqeaking so much when I brake..Normally this happans once the brakes have warmed up I.E 10 mins after i start the journey. Sometimes when im driving slowly I can hear a noise slight intermitent sqeaking as if something is rubbing.. I have been told that it might be sticky calipers? I dont know what that is, but I have been told that there is a brake cleaning kit that can be aquired and that the calipers need to be dissembled and re greased etc? What is the cleaning kit and where can I get it? How big of a job is it? What damage could have been done as I have had this problem for a while.
  17. Hi, How much would the NA-T turbo kit cost? Not the fitting or labour charges, just the actual turbo kit itself. I want to buy the kit so that everyday when I wake up I will see it and it will hopefully encourage me to save my money and put it towards getting it all fitted hehe... But yeah the price of the kit and where can I get it from?
  18. With the engine swap, what will be the condition and/or age of the TT engine? Will the price vary according to the condition milage etc of the engine?
  19. how much would it cost to have a manual 6speed gearbox fitted along with the rest of the job approximatly
  20. Does that include the Gearbox?
  21. How much does a typical job cost?
  22. How exactly is this done? Is it adding 2 turbos to the existing NA engine, or is it swapping the NA engine for a TT engine? What other parts would need to be altered/changed/upgraded? Heard price quotes on here for about 3k...which isnt to bad.
  23. u murderer!!! give me your car now!!
  24. I was driving from hampton court towards feltham, on the road before the sainsburies, recognised the lights of a supra...was a jspec, and one of your main beams wasnt working I dont think. It was at about 10 at night, so i could not really tell the colour but it was dark.
