    Rear silencer

    lol can't be dangerous. If I dont appear here for another two weeks, assume something went badly wrong and I'm in mourning.
  3. Get black with lowest gold fleck count, like mine. Looks stunning.
  4. LMGDAO. That monkey looks human. God must have been having a laugh when he designed that.
  5. I'd say it depends on what skyline, I think an RB25 sounds different to an RB26. I have an RB25 and compared to the supra engine, it is less deep and less agressive. Carl
  6. here we go, these are mine as promised: http://img267.imageshack.us/img267/1605/27112007444xe1.jpg http://img518.imageshack.us/img518/8290/27112007442aj9.jpg http://img518.imageshack.us/img518/9687/27112007443bq5.jpg http://img267.imageshack.us/img267/3836/27112007445uc2.jpg
  7. Thanks, ill practice taking off my lights tomorrow in preparation. I never even knew my supe had electronic beam adjusting.
  8. I have one to fit into my supra any ideas on the effect of the increase of back pressure on the car? Will it mess with my E-Boost 2? just wondering in an anorak kind of way. no complaints about the noise from anyone, its just if i fancy fitting it one day to see what it does to the exhaust note. p.s. its one of those that slots in like a funnel and makes it narrower, and is secured by a bolt. Carl
  9. what ever it is bound to be an improvement on stock bumber. Anything with a longer nose would look good. Carl
  10. Ok, just that I bought the wrong HIDs now, will have to try and get the order changed. Oh well, mistakes like this are easily made.
  11. There is conflicting advice elsewhere on the site... this was posted by whitesupraboy on the powerbulbs thread: http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=59734&highlight=power+bulbs "Below is the information you'll need to make sure you get yourself the right bulbs Bulbs you will need: Jspec bulbs needed: (apart from facelift sidelights differ) Dipped Beam - HB3 (9005) Full Beam - HB3 (9005) The lugs will need to be trimmed Sidelights - w5w Free with Every Delivery Fog light - H3 UK spec: Dipped Beam - HB4 (9006) Full Beam - HB3 (9005) Sidelights - w5w Free with every delivery Fog light - H3" Very confused with this now.. anyone, Jake, mods help?
  12. Well I want to get a pair ordered and delivered from Steve Manley before Christmas. But before I order, what will I need to do to fit them? Do i need to put the old ones in the oven and reglue the glass on? OR is it simply taking the jspec unit off, and taking the insides out and fitting them into the ukspec and installing that? Any newb tips for me welcome becuase I know this is a much needed upgrade as the lights are so letting the car down. Thanks Carl
  13. The Car Sex Shop, on I don't know and I want my car to be unique Road.
  14. They are veilside wheels mate. They insides are now sprayed black though, suits the car more, and is more discreet. Yeah you can just about see out of the faux vents, it is tinted though. go for it mate, all i need for this car, is new stiff suspension, and uk spec glass headlights, and then im happy. will get some pics up here for you tomorrow.
  15. thats what I wanted.... That looks much better than a standard supra. I think i will have to settle for uk spec lights/ abflug lights.
  16. yes they were one when I bought the car. here is another pic of them: http://img81.imageshack.us/img81/2369/p6100014to1.jpg if you really want ill take a close up tommorow. Oh and by the way, not being able to see out of the rear quarters for me gives it a more enclosed and "sporty" feeling. ITs like only the driver and his/her passenger matter.
  17. great news. I never bother with the actimel stuff cos its a bit expensive. but I'm glad to hear it does good and isn't just a rip off.
  18. I have some on my car. I hear they are rare.. i love them. check my garage for the pic
  19. Good insight into the way you see your car RedM. Glad you kept at least some of my bits, and added your own. Touched. Thanks mate. I guess there will come a time when I feel similarly ( I hope not though ) But yeah, and the moment it's full blown car love /lust.
  20. I turn the key, and the engine springs into life. As if it had been asleep for a thousand years, and it had been waiting every second for me to turn the key. It's not a weak "ok where do you want me to drive today" sound. Its a "Here I am, want to drive fast, or just hear my engine: I'm your car" sound. Just that turn of the key set a chain of events going. Fuel pump. Spark plugs. Pistons. Injection. Controlled explosions right under my nose. Drive me Drive me Drive me Drive me, is the mantra of the engine rumble. I have felt the power of your acceleration. The symphony of sounds from the musical instruments packed under the bonnet. Each boost level seeming to bring new overtures. You are the true performer. I am an appendage, a right foot to you. Lacking skill I do not use you to your full potential. But I will learn. You hold on to your fluids for six months, I change mine every day. You rust. I dont. Your brain was made by "TOM's Racing", mine by billions of years of evolution from single celled protozoa. You need me to function. I need you to have some fun. Shame I'm just too scared to drive you over local speed bumps cos your suspension is fucked. Carl

    common sense and practicality prevails. glad none of that applies to me at present.
