  1. Cheers chaps........jsut given a statement to the rozzers......and gave them the phone I found and answered.....have to say thanks to the bloke across the road who chased them off.......i've spoke to him once....what a good chap.....Took the Supra to work today, couldnt drive her with the snow anyways, I'm all calm now but last night I would of ripped their friggin' heads off, I'm not even that type of guy!

  10. Due to some pissed up kids jumped on my car (within the last hour) I need door mirrors (fold in type, black if poss) and I'm certain they've killed my bonnet too!!! Help appreciated......Police on their way! just found a massive dent in the drivers wing.....anybody got a black one??
  11. Mate that place is mint.......i could sit on the bay edge watching the boats all day.....with a light ale of course!
  12. I replaced my front main seal in august, it took me 2 and a half hours start to finish, this included removal of the radiator! but this did involve a 2 post ramp, so taking off the box cooler pipes was a doddle. Even the pulley was easy to remove due to the good old puller!!!!
  13. Wow...thsi has got heated hasn't it.......I'm workshop controller at a Toyota dealer, i also own a Supra, I have to admit, yeah, we are expensive, £90 per hour for newer vehicles and a lower rate for older cars. After being on the shop floor here for 7 years, i can honestly say hand on heart, I do my very best to make sure the quality of work performed is very high quality. As I write this I currently have a GT4 on a ramp with the gearbox out to rectify a fault caused by a "cheaper garage"! Basically he had a clutch replaced at a back street garage for £150 plus parts, since having the work done he has an ABS lamp on and is unable to select gears smoothly. The other garage told him that is was a gearbox fault seperate to the repair work carried out so he brought the car to us......on inspection we found that the abs sensor had been damaged (stretched) by not removing it when the shafts removed, also the clutch release bearing had been fitted incorrectly and cocked over damaging his "Genuine" clutch they supplied (it was a e bay special). So we're not charging him £280 labout plus the parts to fix all these faults. What I'm trying to get at is, you get what you pay for....if we had made said mistakes, i'm pretty sure the car would of been fixed free of charge, and all our parts carry a 12 month warranty (with exceptions). Please don't think that I'm saying all other smaller gargages are toss.....cause I'm not....I know loads of really talented and respected mechanics....I just wanted to put over my opinion... Hope I added some food for thought.... Chris
  14. Points win titles.....not performances! lol
  15. Jason Plato rules........ask Yvan Muller, he'd well agree........probably
  16. Overpot holes are so forth, all the subframe etc is tight.....
  17. Alright guys....noticed a knocking noise fron the NSR this morning......sounds as if a shocker is knocking. The shocker (Bilstein) has only been on the car 2 months. Had the vehicle on the ramp and could not find any play in anything....with or without the weight on the thing.....Is it poss the top arms can display no sighns of play but still have a knock? Also lubed my boot stops....the boot was an absolute arse to open due to being cold... Cheers Chris
