  1. Here are the shots I have but, it would be better if someone could confirm (eyeball) off the car to be 100% PN: 35000-1B330 PN: 35104-30170
  2. Well done Mike!!!! I did this for 3yrs on the trot when I was a nipper (14/15/16yr old) and I did a lot of cycling back in those days over snake pass, Holm Moss etc... but, still always enjoyed the train ride home back to Manchester after the event, standing up most of the way where I then had to ride another 8.5 miles home. Well Done again !!!! I could not do it now.
  3. Yes, my company has on office Berkshire
  4. I now have EPC back on my PC after a lot of faffing around so, I'll get some pic's up if you still need them ?
  5. I don't have EPC anymore but, you could try here http://www.toyodiy.com/parts/g_E_1995_TOYOTA_SUPRA_JZA80R-ALPVZW_2.html
  6. Have you not been out for a test drive in them ? I'm sure they would not miss the keys for an hour or two or during lunchtime if you are stuck for time.
  7. Hi Mark, Are you a smoker ? What price are you looking for the rear seats ? Actually, I'm only looking for the bottom part of the seats, the foam bit you sit on but, not sure if you would want to split the rear seats up ? In anycase, please let me know either way and what number£ you are looking at. Thanks Pete
  8. Were the air temps different on each of the days ? We have had a hot spell recently. Winter = Cool Air temps, more power but, less traction due to the cold temps on the ground Summer = Warm/Hot air temps, less power but, better traction on the road due to higher temps. Sorry if you already know this. ****** Did the RR operator plug in exactly the same details this time around ? (Different figures will shown different results).
  9. He was, Senior Aircraftman deathmonkey.

    Tyre FAQ ?

    One for the mods maybe... It seems we have many many threads about what tyre is recommended and I think it wouldn't be too much work to put a single thread together showing what has been proven to work well with the Supra. Maybe have three sections to the thread: TT, NA or Single Then 3 sub-sections: Premium Road, Value & To avoid. TT Preimuim Road Tyre (£100+) Goodyear Eagle F1 GSD3 Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric Bridgestone Potenza RE050A Toyo TR1's Dunlop SP9000 etc... Value Road Tyre ( Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta Falkens 45x Kumho xx etc.. To Avoid Hankook Nankang etc... Then after you have covered the TT, NA and Single categories you could have a single area for Track ONLY tyres: TRACK & Competition DOT tyres Toyo R888 Yokohama A048R Michelin Pilot Sport Cups Pirelli P-Zero Corsa Avon ZZR Dunlop Direzza DZ02 etc... I guess along the same lines as the Oil FAQ. What do you think ? Once you have the 4 categories done, is there any way to have a review section for each tyre ? maybe hyperlink the make/model shown on the thread Tyre choice is not black and white so, it's always good to hear how the tyres handle in different conditions and situation. Driven hard on country roads / 80mph down the M1 for 4+hrs / Road noise / Wear rate etc......but, ONLY when used on the Supra. I think this could be the definitive repository for tyre information. NOTE: The makes and models of the tyres listed above are just an example
  11. Good news for the new F1's then
  12. There is always one.......but, a different Yorkshireman....this time around
  13. If people from Lancashire are called Lancastrians, what are people from Cheshire called ?
  14. No, as I recently had he loft re-insulated a month or two back and I asked the guy to check for me, he only found a birds nest.
  15. I assume it is backlit in blue ?
  16. Doh! I missed that one! Nice to see some of the original EL (version 1) gauges still around.
  17. Last Friday and Saturday mornings, around 01:30, the missus and I have been woken by a bat in our bedroom. OK, we had the windows open as it was rather warm overnight but, it's not unusual for us to have the windows open. Obviously, when we put the light on the bat went nuts so, we left the room and switched the light off, a cup of tea later and the bat had found it's own way out. When it happened the first time, we still left the windows open afterwards as otherwise it would of been too hot and it did not return that morning. BUT, at around the same time the next morning, flap feckin flap down my ear.....not good! Again, it found it's own way out after 5-10mins. The bats are out every night, around my house but, it's the first time in ~2yrs since we moved here that they/it has come into the house. I know they are protected but, any tips to keep them out during this warm spell ? (other than keeping the windows shut
  18. I do have an electric fence at the bottom of my garden, if you prefer
  19. In the garage with multiple anti intruder measures. No, the Xmas lights are not part of these measures. Actually, it's warm enough to be up the ladder to take them down now...
  20. The Stella is just kicking in now
  21. When I first joined the club, the Potenza S02 was the tyre to get but, when the S03 came out, a lot of folks moved over to the Goodyear GSD3's So, is the So2A any relation ? http://www.bridgestone.eu/bfe/v/index.jsp?vgnextoid=d8484e0fdeb78010VgnVCM1000005101a10aRCRD
  22. I take it the Eagle F1 Asymmetric replaced the GSD3 ? Are they not as good or a lot more expensive ?
  23. Yeah.... "Seal Conditioner is particularly useful to pre-owned car dealers to overcome unsightly leaks from the rear main crankshaft seal which ordinarily would be very expensive to rectify by replacement".
