  1. Awesome. Although fullscreen is much better.
  2. My Wife asked me to turn it off as she really didn't like it lol.
  3. Looks like he was going for an iPhone.
  4. I didn't know that, yeah that's similar Oh well, not quite the goldmine I thought OP, sorry
  5. Really? Is that the LHD ones you mean?
  6. Massive improvement but still VERY expensive
  7. The guys in Europe will pay mega for the LHD lights bud. They are silly money abroad, £800 or something like that.
  8. Definitely fancy Vredesteins at the front, not so sure about the rear. I want something a little softer, the car won't really get driven in the wet anyway and certainly not in anger.
  9. It will be the LHS one bud. I get mine on intermittently due to stretching the cable a little when I was taking off the suspension for the first time. If you take the wheel off you will see a wire coming down from the engine bay, it will come in past the mudguard flap thing and is mounted onto the inner wheel well. From there it snakes along the wishbone and into your hub. This is the ABS speed sensor
  10. It will be down to the ABS sensor or ABS sensor wire. You can do an ECU check on the ABS, similar to the EM check. There is a guide on here for doing it that will give you a code to determin what the fault is
  11. Is it at the maximum when the engine is turned on? Ie, does it go to the top as soon as you turn the ignition on? The sensor is at the top water elbow so you will be able to feel the temperature with your hand. I'm not sure which way the guage goes when the sensor is faulty, seems a strange error.
  12. Shh Shh noise could be a slightly sticky caliper, or more likely the dust shield rubbing on part of the brake disc. I had a noise like that for ages and it drove me nuts till I eventually got fed up (I'm lazy so it can take a while) and pulled the wheel off. Quite quickly found out that the shield was just hitting a tiny bit of the disc where a bit of corrosion had formed.
  13. Paintcode for midnight purple 1 is LP2. I'm guessing that any decent bodyshop could mix it up for you no bother. Not sure how much you will need, depends on the sprayer but usually a couple of L would cover it. I would get 3L just to make sure, in case of any accidents etc.
  14. Now THAT'S a description. Spot on mate, lets people know exactly what to expect
  15. Its always difficult to tell from the pictures but as you said it could do with a good polish and tcut session, I read that as faded. TCut is used to cut the paint surface to bring out the original colour once it has faded away. To describe a car as immaculate it would have to have perfect paintwork and bodywork already.... Not be ready for the new owner to make it that way. Just trying to get a feel for the condition of the car as immaculate says one thing, your description says another.

    what supra to buy

    That only applies to the RZs

    what supra to buy

    The world is your oyster with that budget. Happy hunting
  18. It looks really nice and, if legit, a pretty good buy for someone, but I wouldnt describe a car with faded paint that needs a t-cut as immaculate. Good luck with the sale regardless
  19. I actually forgot about those, could be an option

  21. Ahh, I had read the corsas were soft compound (60 something or others) vs the R01s being 220 (something or others). Are the normal road going PZeros any good Chris?
  22. The folks in the show werent on holiday, they were in the process of moving in. They were renovating the house before moving from their flat. They had a whole load more renovating to do once the squatters were out though. It was also mentioned that another squatter had taken over a 5million pound mansion. They didn't have any full details on that one so not sure where the owners were lol.
  23. I'm pretty sure that I'm going to go with PZero tyres but I'm not sure of which variant to go for. There are so many options it's unreal. Looking at 295 30 19s, I don't really care about wear as I don't do a lot of miles so softer compounds are an option. What ones have you guys tried, what do you recommend? Cost isn't really an issue as I'll be going with good part worns so I just want the best I can get. Power will be around 700hp max.
