  1. How old is the LP Studio (can tell by the first and fifth numbers in serial no. e.g. 91235 at the start indicates a 1995 model built on the 123rd day of the year. Finish, original hardshell case, condition, fret wear, original electronics etc. will all have an effect on the value. Let me know
  2. Needing to buy a 1st decat and have been recommended Envy. Anyone any experience with them? Also gonna be needing some headlights (either facelift or glass (would want black backed though )) and wondering where is best to get from for those too! Cheeries!
  3. I'd want glass ones that are black backed though if there is anywhere that does them, as the facelift lights look epic on white!
  4. Got a guitar that I'll be shifting pretty soon so will have a few pennies spare when that goes to spend on the car. Trying to decide what is my best option though. I'm going to get a 1st decat before anything. That'll be me full BPU then. Next few things I've been looking at are facelift headlights (my off side front light is pretty yellow) and possibly facelift rears aswell. Also was thinking on cleaning up under the bonnet a bit and cleaning up the turbo mani and inlet mani and with that maybe adding a TRD tower brace. Other thing that I've been contemplating is upgrading the brakes - most likely to UK spec jobs - (fronts at least) as it's just the standard J-Spec I'm on but with G3 grooved rear discs and endless pads. So - given how much I'm finding them going for - it's between the front and rear lights and the brace or front brakes. Thoughts?
  5. Keep changing your mind until I have the expendable and it'll be smiles all round sir. :innocent:
  6. Really like your approach Jay. I'm sure plenty weight saving could be had if you got rid of those TRD splits. PO BOX HateEvent will suffice.
  7. Saab 9-3 Aero Ford Mondeo ST220 Subaru Legacy Subaru Forester (STi maybe at a push?) BMW 3 Series (see ya have that in mind already) BMW 5 Series Audi A3 Audi A4 Audi S3 Audi S4 (at a push maybe for your stipulations). That's the first bunch that come to mind Jamie
  8. Was an absolutely lovely day today (hottest since getting the car) so took the car out for a wee run as I needed to get more fuel anyway. Got onto local B-Road (private land, of course) and ran it through the revs in 3rd. Slowing down after this, the engine management light came on. I trundled for the next 2 miles at 40 and stopped up at a big car park, left the car a couple of minutes then switched it off. Upon switching it back on, the light was gone and there has been no trouble since (driven about 100+ miles more). Oil pressure and oil temp were reading fine off my gauges, there was no loss in power and it was boosting same as ever. Had absolutely nothing since either. Any ideas as to what this could be caused by? One mate I spoke to said it could be brake fluid level. Thanks in advance
  9. I would LOVE to see this car some day Jamie!
  10. Not good Hope it gets cleaned up alright dude!
  11. Exhaust, induction, BOV, FMIC and that gets 400bhp at 0.6 bar. We have a fibber ladies and gentleman! £60k spent?! What a n00b!
  12. True that Dave! When I went down to get mine (Northampton) I didn't see one all the way there and back apart from mine and Kieran's (Monsween, who came with me!).
  13. Personal Opinion: If going wide, it has to be Top Secret GT300 or TRD. The rest don't work. IMO of course
  14. All the best with getting the car together
  15. Just sorta weird stalking when I'm on nights out. I generally go to the same place with mates each week and I've been spied there. It's a bit creepy.

    I felt a total saddo managing to spot that in the cinema

    The only time I noticed was when they were flicking through a multitude of screens of cars and there was the Top Secret GT300 sitting in one
  18. Nice job. I need to do this soon!

    I was surprised it was a 34 in the 4th one given this statement as that's what I figured too.
  20. Was it just the RZ-S model that had a passenger airbag on facelift? Just curious as I noticed that this one has the glovebox

    Two proud members

    All the best to you both!
  22. "2b - Spark plug gap not small enough - usually occurs on a BPU car with stock plugs, this causes a more gentle misfire where you feel acceleration fade and reappear at high boost." This is most like what it is. Guess that's what to check first!
