  1. 1. Hackin'n'bashin (Adam) - Dash Panels and switches 2. hp006 - Dash Panel and driver door card top of switches 3. gazzi123 - dash panels/centre console (arm rest) + door panels - can you PM me price for this please 4. leelbuk - Dash Panels (£70) 5. Paddynewman - dash panels (gear surround and window switches) ***get choice of colours I'm guessing????***
  2. Im looking for auto surround, all the heat/radio area/around the clocks and the window switch area. Is the the £70 option.
  3. They all still suffer unfortunately All board revisions went tits up, its the actual brand of solder, microsoft techleaks ftw. Its been solved in the slim consoles, brought in new designers and manufacturing plants. They tried to change the old revisions by increasing the amount of heat sinks and drawing heat away from the main CPU/GPU combo. Stupidly..they seem to have done it away from the rear fans
  4. Sounds b/s but take the dvd out, remove hard drive and leave the AV and power connected. Now wrap in 2 big thick bath towels, covering all the vents etc. Switch it on and let it overheat itself..should take about 20 mins tops. Let it cool and unwrap the towels... give it another go sounds ludicrous.. but it can and does work.. ive done it with mine, short term until you can find another cheap one
  5. Using BT/02 will be an ADSL Modem Router. Using Virgin will be a Cable Modem Router Anything with ADSL and router will do you fine, unsure as to WHY you need an N? But choice is yours
  6. ^^^ That looks great quality!!
  7. 115 sounds fairly good...i'll definitely have to follow her up!
  8. Yea think a girl called Nikki... She has emailed me back, even out of hours (20:30 on a friday!!!) and said she has red in stock Just sending photos and getting a price
  9. Ive emailed Banbury flocking, trying to get a quote on the actual dash panels... may be slightly OTT... but thats why you have spare dash panels lol
  10. I'll also try to... hopefully be decatted by then too
  11. I literally just paid Keron for a 1st decat pipe. Im looking for a 2nd if mine hasnt already been done!
  12. The actual output of my exhaust is 4 inches... my iphone is just ever so slightly too big to fit sideways lol
  13. Ha, that sounds a bit worrying! Ive got a HKS silent power pro i think.. I failed the brands hatch trackday noise test. The current sound isnt too loud though, atleast inside the car i have the radio less than half, and can still chat. I can always buy the decat pipes and refit the cat if needed, or put some form of db killer in there!
  14. Neighbours are no issue I have a cat that has a crack in it... the 1st one.. had a look today and may explain the crap MPG. So straight through might as well be done
  15. Hi Im thinking about decatting my exhaust... might as well as i like it noisy, can always bung them back in for MOT if needed. What im having trouble with is sourcing the pipes. Ive seem some on whifbitz, i know its good quality stuff..and id love to purchase but ive found some on the 'bay. Unfortunately, says turbo or 2JZ GTE... I am minus the T Will these fit just be a bit bigger than the 2.5 inch pipe currently or should i buy NA specific? Im aware it says turbo only.. but id rather ask you guys than an ebay seller.. sorry if im being totally daft, but id rather get rid of both 1st and 2nd in one go! http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/TOYOTA-SUPRA-JZA80-2JZGTE-EXHAUST-1st-2nd-DECAT-KIT-/170507640241?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item27b30c1db1#ht_1348wt_1026
  16. Ok, cool... sure theres a few NA's at the bluewater meet! What price worst case scenario on o2 sensors?
  17. Hmm, maybe its time to get it checked in to a garage... as ive read guys getting 300 miles to a tank.. i barely get 200! I dont exactly give it an easy life.. but I dont rag it that much! I get 150 miles on my GSXR1000..
  18. Just a quick one on this.. I take it forcing it open permanently is a bad idea?
  19. sorry to bump.. i thought id get the supra sorted before I take it back on the road.. i dont really want to do more damage!
  20. True... such a shame! When the weather is a bit better.. does a big single or twin turbo owner want to take me out in their car..
  21. My work mate has a BMW 323ci with traction control and anti skid.. he can happily pull away and drive normally, yet im all over the place on 2mm of throttle I love RWD.. its a blast, i'd go for spin (literally) right now if I could get off the drive
  22. Who's that with? My insurance on a j spec is alot more than a UK car.
  23. So, I had to drop my friend back home, needed to look after his kid etc.. Left my house and changed route after realising a steep incline and the light dusting of snow could be a bit mental. Chose the "busy" route, main 4 lane road onto a motorway. All was fine. Snow came on like a storm and it was pretty hectic. A supra is my first RWD car.. also ive heard its probably the least forgiving RWD car?? Well my beast got me there in 1 piece. The trip back was worse, snow had laid and the only way home was up 2 hills, down a very steep hill with sharp turns and alot of roundabouts! It handled superb round the roundabouts, drifting quite a bit but always going where there front wheels were aiming! Only problem was I couldnt actually build up speed, after about 25-30mph the wheels just lose traction and start twitching the rear. Its fantastic on an empty huge roundabout... but arse clenching everytime it steps out in the rear. What a great evening Just thought i'd post this and hear what anyone has to say! Any significant difference of putting the 16s on rather than 18s? Are snow tyres worth it, I drive this thing daily...whatever the weather..aside from today as I couldnt get to work and definitely wouldnt have got back alive!
  24. Yea, i was aware, sorry.. i should have stated! Ive only ever rebuilt 2 125cc engines..then I use cheapy mineral for 150 miles, drop it and redo the same again, but given hes just re-using, I just advised the semi route.
