  1. Going by this webpage, it looks just like an R154.
  2. Looks like the shifter isn't extended on the one in the first post, so I guess it's not one from a MkIV then. If you sponser me to get an R154, you can have mine!
  3. It looks like one.. but I'm not 100% sure.
  4. What graphics card do you have Darryl? I had no problem overriding the settings with the nVIDIA control panel, you should be able to do it with ATi too..
  5. I'll sign up after I've sorted my brakes out, intending on doing the Sunday. I might go over on the Saturday and stay overnight, not decided yet..
  6. If you bought Burna copious amounts of Beer, it might eventually happen..
  7. Modify your hosts file (located in %SystemRoot%\system32\drivers\etc\) and add 127.0.0.1 ftp.chriswilson.tv It'll probably look like this - # Copyright (c) 1993-1999 Microsoft Corp. # # This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows. # # This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each # entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should # be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name. # The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one # space. # # Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual # lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol. # # For example: # # 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server # 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host 127.0.0.1 localhost 127.0.0.1 ftp.chriswilson.tv
  8. I've PM'd him, but I don't have his number. Looks like it's from a MkII/III (1986), I don't know what the differences are..

    I got a job!

    Good luck, I hope it goes well for you.
  10. If I got one, I expect I would occasionally. The aerotop is up for sale, and I have plans for the white one - TT lump doesn't appeal for that due to weight. I haven't decided what I want to replace the Aerotop with yet, there's a TT Auto I'm very interested in, nice TT Manuals seem to be around £10k (earlier in the year there were nice ones for £6-7k ) and a good Single looks to be £13-16k. A single appeals but at the same time doesn't, there are a lot of things I could do with the £7-9k it would cost over a TT Auto..
  11. That's a lot of questions Nic! I'm 25, with 5-6 years of relatively uneventful road driving under my belt. I've done over 6,000 miles in the 5spd, and 12-14,000 miles in the Auto, both have been driven in winter, on icy, very wet, and very snowy roads. I've done track days, a drift day, a few sprints, also been on the kick plate at Rockingham (though not in my own car, yet). Never had any dramas on the road, though I have had a few spins on the track (have to find the limits of the car somehow ) and generally kept the car on the track when doing so. I will no doubt be doing more of the above in an effort to continue to improve my driving ability and reactions (and have fun).
  12. The set of 16" wheels I have are the same size front and rear, but different tyre sizes.
  13. They don't, but unfortunately your posts are left lacking.
  14. If I go for a manual, then I really want a single due to.. Thanks for all the responses. Oh and don't worry Martin, I'll be keeping the NA 5spd for some time, so you can 'show me up' on the track, strip and drift.
  15. I currently have a tray full of coppers, I think there's some silver coins in there too. Would you like me to count them for you? It would be for a road car, though if I did get one I expect it would see the nurburgring and the odd track day, and hopefully most of europe. Track/Sprint car will always stay seperate, and honestly I'm rarely left looking for more power on the track. Driving experience? It sounds like a simple question, but I'm really not sure what you mean by it? Knowledge will come with time, I'm not going to suddenly become proficient with the workings of a turbo car without owning one, but I am always learning (though I still consider myself a newbie).
  16. That would be 'in your opinion', and a completely unnecessary personal attack on Gav.
  17. No, this isn't a question about NA-T conversions. I've recently put my non-turbo Supra up for sale, and I'm looking for something with a little more go. While I have been seriously considering a TT Auto, I can't help but want a 6spd Single. The question is, should I? Would a jump of that magnitude be too much? Would I/you likely end up in a hedge or is it the power something you easily/quickly adjust to? For the sake of this 'debate', the most powerful cars I've driven are a TT Auto (very briefly), and a VXR Monaro (around Rockingham ). I'm mainly interested in the opinions of those who have already driven / owned a single and can look back on their experiences...
  18. I think the main difference is going to be your need for extra lock, there shouldn't be that much difference in the other areas? I still want to skid too! When do you next plan on going to a DWYB day? It's pretty local to me, I just need to bleed my brakes first..
  19. He would have a long journey just to get a ride in an Aero!
  20. 235/45/17 on the front, 255/40/17 on the rear.
