  1. While recently fitting an HID headlamp kit my turbo timer decided to stop working. I am assuming that I have blown a fuse somewhere (I managed to blow one of the headlamp fuses at the same time) and am trying to find where the fuse would be. I currently have the dashboard apart and it looks as if the Turbo timer has it's own adapter that plugs into the large multiplug just behind the ignition switch. Everything else seems to be working fine. The turbo timer loom does not have it's own fuse built into the adapter so I am assuming that it must use one of the standard Toyota fuses. Does anyone have any idea which one and where I might find it?

    HID Kit Anyone?

    I should have worded that a bit better. The headlamp kit itself has not arrived just a letter from the customs people and a questionnaire asking for details about the goods.

    HID Kit Anyone?

    I got home tonight to find a note from HM Customs and Excise about Notice of Arrival of Goods by post (yes it is the HID kit). Is this usual and am I liable to pay any additional costs? Dave M
  5. I'm trying to make the same decision on the interior of a white supra. I like the idea of white leather but keeping it clean will be a nightmare and my friends tell me it will just be to "pimped". I Think I've settled on Black and White leather seats with White inserts on the doors (the reverse of the picture above). Anyone else on here had a white leather (or Alacantra) interior done on a daily drive?
  6. I would hazard a guess that the change in venue is the result of the Reading v Leeds match taking place next door to the usual venue. A capacity crowd of 25,000 is expected.
  7. I've recently had my 3 piece Work Alloys refurbished at a cost of £250 per wheel. The whole process took almost three months in total (there was a lot of chroming involved). When the wheels finally came back one of the wheels was going down to 9psi. I took it too a local tyre depot who tested it in their water tank and the leak was coming from one of the seals on the wheel, I therefore took the wheel back. They kept the wheel for another two weeks and when I got it back it was flat again within 24 hours. The wheel went back again (they kept it for another two weeks) and has now been back on the car for a couple of months. It does however still lose air although only slowly. I need to pump it up each weekend and it currently loses about 10psi each week. Bearing in mind that for the price I paid I could probably have got a cheap set of 18" single piece alloys I am still not sure if refurbishing the wheels was a good idea. The car was off the road for most of the summer and the whole process was a nightmare. Whether I get them refurbished again or buy a new set will depend on how long the refurbished alloys last before they start peeling and tarnishing again.

    oil temp

    I used to worry about this as I have an HKS Oil Tempature gauge fitted that has a red warning light rather than a warning buzzer. The warning light comes on if the tempature goes above 100 (which it does everytime I take it out on the motorway). On the hottest day of last year (I believe it was the hottest day on record in this country ever) I remember mixing it with an X5 and the oil tempature got up around the 125-130 mark but in normal driving and in normal british weather I have never seen it go above 120. If only I could work out how to adjust the warning setting on the oil tempature gauge.
  9. Not really interested in the TV tuner part, just the DVD side to keep the wife quiet on long journeys (she starts to scream when the speed gets on the high side). A price for the sunvisor screen and a small DVD player would be excellent thanks.
  10. This sounds excellent, I've been trying to find a way to put a screen in the Supra ever since I first brought it. I've run out of space in the centre console (various Stereo Bit's and fuel controllers taking up the space) so fitting into the visor would solve the problem. Make and model number of the screen would be appreciated so that I can start searching the net for one. Any ideas on a nice smallish DVD player for the glovebox would be appreciated as well.
  11. That's what I feared. Thanks for the help everyone, I think that rules out a few more sets of wheels.
  12. I have been looking at Volks Alloys on the MVP website and notice that several of the models use Hub-Centric rings. Can anyone enlighten me as to what a Hub-Centric ring is and is it a good thing or a bad thing? Is it a spacer?
