  1. people like chipsaway can pull dings like that out & they come to you. You could have a go yourself, like father ted, just a tat of a hammer.
  2. It plays everything, last game i got is call of duty 4, runs with all options on full except AA & depth of field. Struggles with Crysis. Runs battlefield 2 excellent. I got 7400 points on 3d mark 06 using that setup. You need, a PSU with at least 500-600 watt

    i only bought it a couple of weeks ago, its a fresh import. So they replaced the clocks & delimited it. So maybe they did it wrong? Say im going 70mph & i want to pass something quite fast, i floor it, it kicks down & it accelerates but the needle just shoots right up to 6000rpm. If im not explaining well enough, i will try & make a real note of exactly whats happening when i next drive it. I can tell its not normal anyway from your responses so far

    wouldnt it red line or hit the limiter if it was that? Just for reference though, how much would a clutch change cost?

    Im wondering if theres something going wrong with my rev counter, should the rev counter needle always move smoothly? When i put the pedal to the metal in overdrive mode on my auto, the gear shifts down & the needle shoots up to 6krpm, then if i lift off it snaps back down to 3k or whatever. Seems odd to me. Also sometimes it doesnt seem to pick up acceleration straight away either. Its better if i wind it up slower, not just pedal flat to the floor. Should i be worried?
  8. How come i lift my bonnet & see a mind boggling amount of stuff all on the left side of the engine. But look at a supra with a massive single turbo & all that stuff is gone. Do i not need it all lol yes i know nothing about how this thing works. Educate me.
  9. Its time to upgrade so im selling my old kit, all the parts were among the best you could get at the time (about a year ago) but i want to play the latest games with all the options on & its slowing a little. I have nowhere to go with this system so i have to do a full overhaul. Thought id offer here before i go to ebay. Cheers ASUS A8N-32 SLi motherboard (AMD 64, 64x2 etc socket 939) £50 AMD 64 dual core 4400+ 2.2ghz £25 Corsair TwinX XMS 3500LL pro 2x1gb (as recommended by asus for the above motherboard) £60 Thermalright Ulta-120 extreme cpu heatsink £15 (a bit of a monster, needs a big case) I also have 2 GeForce 7800GTX ive been using in SLi but im hanging onto those till the new GeForce9800x2 come out in a week or 2. forgot, i have an Asetek waterchill Xternal watercooling unit £100
  10. For me, i wanted both but i can get the fastest supra so theres no other version above what i have (Apart from you super modded ones) but with the GTST skyline, id own it knowing its not the best one, cant afford a GT-R. If you ever met one in your lower spec car youd feel bad.
  11. In terms of looks, the supra is more a GT racing car & the Skyline is a touring car, so it depends on what you like. I just like them both though
  12. I looked at skylines but finding a standard unmolested one is hard & with no history with the car most of the time it seems a gamble. Seems there are still quite a lot of standard supras in good condition to be found. I originally wanted an S15 but they are ultra rare, overpriced, all on the south coast & the ones out there look suspiciously like super driftooo funtime cars with all the LSD's & rock solid suspension. like your pantera avatar thing man.
  13. £142 on fensport. Just revise the price & edit your first post when youve done it
  14. wasnt it on top gear, road users of the world account for 0.01% of the emissions towards global warming, its industry thats causing the majority of it. Its just another way to justify robbing us blind. Give me reliable, clean, fast public transport & i will gladly use that to commute each day, unforunately there isnt any for me to use. Its not my fault. Wouldnt mind so much if they actually kept the roads in good condition by fixing potholes. Speed humps account for increased emissions & wrecked suspension
  15. I hadnt read max power for a long time, but recently saw a copy someone showed me, its completely different. Loads more jap cars, no corsas, no t*ts, less chavy. Its more like jap performance now...probably wouldnt buy it over the usual ones though. Those tongue splitting things are apparently popular in america, its gross, seen a vid of it being done. Also cattle brand tattoos, and worst yet... cutting slithers of skin off & making a scar based tattoo, looks gross even when its healed. Its more like mutilation
  16. Every video of a car going fast on you tube has retarded comments below it, especially from americans, they dont know anything. just check out "supra from hell". Youre best off not reading the comments
  17. 27, 6 years no claims. £720 with tesco insurance on TT. I think it depends on where you live, where its kept, security. Supra is a strange car in terms of insurance. Skyline, Impreza, S15 etc all came out over 1k for me. Also its more expensive if i insure a non turbo version of the supra. weird. which insurance company insured you for £360??
  18. anyway... whats best to get those marks off my car?
  19. those things are massive though, how much wider than the car are they??
  20. yes, ive had it for 9 days. First taste of wet weather driving, had the slip control on going up a slip road. These things can be scary. Make it through the bad weather only to get hit meters from safety lol
  21. Was reversing into a space at work this morning & suddenly saw an avensis estate reversing at me, i stopped & he kept going & scraped down my rear bumper, he reconed it was 50/50 blame & i figured i couldnt prove id stopped & he didnt, i know him, he works in paint repair & said it would polish out, ive not lost any paint. His is worse than mine. 1st collision in 7 years, these cars ARE CURSED.

    My new Supra!

    Nice, are those 17" or 18" wheels?
  23. everyones dash looks different to mine..... i have a digital clock not an analogue one. Did some of you take the air blower out & put a gauge in? Just wondering What goes in the blanked off slot on the left hand side of the slip control & auto spoiler? The gloss black isnt as bad as i thought, it looks good, but im liking the matt finish better personally. Are those slippers or did you just not bother to put your shoes on properly lol
  24. I found with some of these parts you could only get genuine toyota. They wanted £120 for a console lid, i just laughed.
