  1. mini meet, sounds good. I'd like to book my parking space now as I'm sure the lawn is a no no Oh, spring took until today, to arrive in Lancashire
  2. It did look good in black during the build process. But, I would say that
  3. UK spec stock is DOT 3 in the owners manual A little out of date though!
  4. Yes, I could but, then the spray pattern of the snow foam lance would be spread vertically rather than horizontally = Too much waste of the snow foam product and it's not exactly a neutral posture position is it ?
  5. Nope, sorry. It says it needs maintenance every 2yrs starting from the 10yr point.
  6. It is 150mile round trip, although much better than the 332 mile round trip I used to do from Reading
  7. Cheers Chris. It passed no problem and he got his tools out to fix it there and then, nice chap that he is.
  8. Will it take out my pest wild rabbits I have in the garden ?
  9. I thought the owner watch was this one ?
  10. I recently purchase a Heavy Duty Snow Foam Lance in the group buy http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=135722 and when it arrived, I was happy with the overall product but, a little disappointed that the fluid bottle did not hang below the PW lance (at the 6 O'clock position) which, I thought would be the natural place for it hang = spray pattern and suction of the fluid out of the bottle & not making the lance heavy on one side only. Anyway, before getting the tools out and breaking it, I spoke with Pete who was VERY helpful and offered some good advice and also got in contact with the supplier for me. In the end, I said that I'd have a crack at it.. My tools are not setup in the garage yet so, I had to think of something other than getting physical with the metal. I tried to turn some of the parts by hand, using mole grips but, either the threaded section was to long or I could not move the other end of the pipe by hand. I took some PTFE tape and wound this around the end of the threaded pipe section but, no matter how thick I did this, the brass lugs would not end up in the right position for my Karcher PW gun. So, I just taped up the very end of the threaded pipe section, a good few layers ...I guess 6-10 layers. I then got some steel adhesive and pasted this around the threaded section rather thickly and when putting the brass fitting back onto the pipe, it filled all the gaps and pushed a little out up front. I screwed the brass fitting as far as I could, without reaching the very end of the threaded section, maybe 1/2 a turn short so, the lugs on the brass fitting were at the correct position for the Karcher gun. I left it for 2 days standing upright on the brass fitting and it cured fully. I then trimmed the excess PTFE tape and tested it at the weekend. JOB DONE I know it's not very technical but, just shows how it can be changed if your snow foam bottle is not hanging in the position you want it in for a
  11. Can't you break it down to a multi-box shipment ? They might have single box max weight for H&S but, if you break it down it would work. I assume it's the same price since, it's all done on weight ?

    I'm confused

    It's free in Wales http://www.wales.nhs.uk/page.cfm?pid=9586 It was on the news a few years back, folks in England with and English GP would drive over the bridge to Wales for free drugs.....how mad.
  13. OR for ~£150 you can have your car sent up to Chris. I paid around this price when I lived in Reading and send my car to Chris. See here http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=60788
  14. Sorry, thinking about this....I assumed they were TRD ARB's. Or are they a CW product ?

    Lexus GS300

    Is this the same road tax band as the Supra Dunk ?
  16. Yup, sorry to read that it's no-more Ali.
  17. While having an MOT yesterday, the MOT guy found a VERY loose nut. Looking at the repair manual's, I found it was the Lower Suspension Arm Bracket Stay NUT that was loose on the drivers side. Would I be correct in saying that my geometry will be out now ? A few pic's (under car shot from 2002)
  18. Can we move this to the ICE section ?
  19. Is that your screamer pipe going back into the the exhaust I see on Chris's photo's ? AND are those New TRD ARB's ? which, dia are they ? I was going to ask about the new diff but, with so much work done at once, I guess you can't say how much the diff change you can now feel ? Looking good I have been waiting for that ramp to be freed up :0
  20. For those that speak/read deutsche http://www.supraholic.de/
