  1. You could remove the headlights, take out the bulbs and dry them out inside and see if they stay dry. If they are leaking and getting damp again you could always get gzaerojon to have a look at them.
  2. Found a previous thread about 2XS tyres. Appears they are pretty pants
  3. When a head gasket goes its normaly quite loud. You often get loud clicking and clunking.
  4. Has anyone used them? I heard they are made by toyo? Only W speed rated mind, but who actually does 168 mph anyway?
  5. What happened? Car overheat? or did it just pop on you? Hope this fix isnt too painful.
  6. I bet tyres are expensive for something like that. Looks like it is in good condition.
  7. It is simply down to the type of car. As we own them and use them everyday it is easy to forget how different and attention grabbing these cars are. My supra is completely stock and I will often get people shouting things as I drive past. Normally its good things like "Weeey, gun it!" etc I have had people shout "Wank3r" as well. All I am doing is driving past, not speeding, I dont have a loud aftermarket exhaust. It is just the stereotype that comes with this sort of car. We are all obviously useless, dangerous, reckless people who should be hated. Those that like the car and can appriciate them are more likely to be jelious then hate us but the end result is similar.

    db7

    isnt a db7 about 5.7 seconds to 60?
  9. I bought my supra with a bankers draft. Many car related organisations recommend using a draft. Who wants to travel with thousands in cash? Who would accept a personal cheque? Just make sure he has plenty of ID with him, passport, recent utility bills etc That way you have the full name and an address. Plenty of info to start court proceedings if required.
  10. some insurance companies will group mods together. say you have a steering wheel, gear knob and gauges. That might come under one mod "Interior changes." Only way to be sure is specify everything to them.
  11. I would much rather own that then a mini.
  12. I once worked in a hospital as a "Facilities assistant" The best bit of the job was cooking meals/portering. The worst was dealing with clinical waste such a colostomy bags, old people nappies etc etc

    Tyre choice

    I have zz3's on the front and toyo t1r's on the rear. I dont rate the ZZ3's very highly. There are loads that are worse and and plenty that are better. I find the car tends to understeer with them on and they squeek quite a bit when pushed.
  14. I quite like the colour. Dont like the black tape round the air filter though.
  15. I'm no expert but it sounds like its hunting for idle? Maybe the sensors are dirty/faulty. Do you still have the old spark plugs? Maybe pop them back in and see if it solves your problem.
  16. Network & Systems Administrator at a pharmaceuticals company. I'm payed to play with computers all day
  17. the AEM tru boost does look good and fits where the stock clock is. I am a little disapointed with features though. There is no target boost and you can only set the boost controller duty and the wastegate crack pressure.
  18. It's a bug, the last owner is listening to all your conversations in the car.

    Dvla Question

    I have heard of this sort of thing happening before. I once sold a car to someone and let them post the v5c off. Ended up getting a parking ticket for the car a year later. Luckily I still knew them and was able to get it all sorted. Did you ever get a notification from the DVLA that they recorded it as scrapped or sold? Usually it says something along the lines of thank you for informing us this vehicle has been scrapped etc.
  20. I only took maybe 4-5 hours to do it on hard. I think part of it is that in anticipation of episode 2 coming out I replayed both HL2 and episode 1 on hard over the last couple of days so I was on top form etc and knew the weapons, controls inside out. I think if you jumped straight into episode 2 having not payed the others for months and months it would take a little longer.
  21. Just bought a 02 focus TDCi Ghia for 3k with 50,000 miles on it. Should get me to work and back for ahwile and save me from putting about 20k on the supra a year.
  22. as long as your domain is 2003 operational level you can do it all with policies. even if you are only on 2000 level you can publish them to active directory and users can just search for them and add them. As long as they have a roaming profile or stay on the same machine they will only need to do it once.
  23. I heard it once.. sounds like water is about to pour out from under the dash. In my case the radiator expansion tank was dry. Poured in a bit of deionised water and let it suck up the water... not happened since and the level is staying the same. I thought perhaps the previous owner didnt fully fill the coolant system or something?

    Clunky brakes.

    Sometimes I have it, sometimes I dont. Seems to be worse when cold. Is yours a loud clonk that could be suspention or is it just the pad moving about?
