That's very quick. Are we not doing a poll to let members vote on their priority?

I've always found these hex bolts tricky to find in a local DIY shop. I bought a bunch of various stainless ones from a kit car show to keep handy in the draw for such tasks.

Could be a big poll...Do you think they just want to know those categories or actual parts? I mean - transmission, people only really want the 6spd boxes right? I guess if we look at the four main categories, ask people what they'd like out of those categories then create a poll for each of those - count up the votes and send them off. So if for the moment people work on creating a list of parts - don't duplicate, then we get to vote on the ones we want? Something like this - copy and paste, add your own. (I've added Bens above to this ). : Engine / Fuel - VSV - Engine Mounts - O2 sensors - Coil packs Powertrain / Chassis - 6 spd box - Suspension arms (all models) Electrical - Facelift post 96/97 headlights Body - Window trims Powertrain / Chassis - Brake lines - Fuel lines

Will do when I write the report for the classic show at the NEC. I may be being a little unfair as I didn't get too immersed in it, but from what I saw on the Thursday evening (Excalibur carpark and cruise down the strip) and Friday (Show'n'shine and evening BBQ), in all honesty, I don't think we're missing out much. Our events are equal if not better - especially the DB's of old. What is nice is it draws ALL types of Supras out together, including the German one.

Yes. Me!

Hi, I'd like to take the gearbox please, will PM.

I know it word for word, my most favourite film - always makes me laugh. Bloody Europeans! What have they ever done for us?

Your experience may vary depending where you live / work. Harrypm82 has seen this first hand. Look around East Anglia at the potato / beet and industry around there for similar story. I agree, minimum wage is way too high. I don't understand about standards lowering? Stats would indicate the opposite has been happening for many years? Sad but some truth in that. There are laws governing how to campaign and although there are always some "mistruths" in any political party manifest the outright lies that surrounded the leave campaign were downright abhorrent. The EU vote along with Trump were the first two real campaigns to use technology to effectively target and manipulate voters directly, along with the rise of unregulated social networking to spread opinions rather than facts I believe is what has caused so much consternation. As for how we vote our parties in, there's the whole first past the post vs proportional representation argument been raging on for years. That's pretty impressive. I feel my preparation is inadequate. I worked in a garlic bread factory and hospital linen - similar story. That would be lovely, but unfortunately humans have a long way to go before unification. Are you a Star So I shouldn't be able to go to my own house in Greece or explore the planet now? Bollocks to that. Interesting....care to elaborate on how it's affected you directly? Although I agree with the sentiment, it would be wiser to make choices that slow the process a little. Nature often finds a way. We've had a few outbreaks in recent years...maybe the big one is coming. Some people speculate the dust could take our lifetime to settle, I guess we'll find out. It could be we've had the best it could ever be and it's all down hill from here.

Well...They've made great strides at improving battery technology for sure...I just hope they've managed to consistently maintain the quality through production as it gets ramped up. I refuse to read anything on the Daily Express site, but there are plenty of more reputable sites that do say similar. 10% depredation over 160k miles is pretty darn good. However: Warranty looks amazing to cover battery swaps like this. From: https://www.teslarati.com/tesla-model-s-quality-durability-on-display-in-450k-mile-car-still-going-strong/ Check out his spreadsheet.

a) not a big enough sample yet As with all batteries: b) depends on external conditions / weather c) depends on charge cycles / type of charge.

I pi$$ed off at the time I'd spent writing it as it was without worrying too much about the spelling/grammar. I hope you got further through than that!

Besides that this thread has obviously deviated away from the original subject (no surprise there - I say keep your Supra and enjoy it and stop worrying about its value).... Indeed. So tired of pointing out the lies to the "average"* Brexit voter (either way) that's not interested in understanding the facts and more interested in believing meme's shared by their blinkered friends so I've mostly given up. *I say average...some have formed their own opinion based on research with is fantastic and to be encouraged. Whatever your informed choice is fine, I respect that...but in the same way you should'nt vote for a party just because your parents and neighbours do and instead make up your own minds by reading the manifests on how a party will affect YOU...I also expect people to make some basic research to reach their own conclusions. If you want a light hearted and interesting understanding of how to decipher bullsh*t and make proper data based decisions I recommend Ben Goldacre's Bad Science Very insightful arguments well put forward, thank you for your contributions. "scrounging"? Are you including genuine asylum seekers brought on by wars we waded into - a whole other can of worms for discussion there. We've always had control of our borders against that, unfortunately the incompetent UK bureaucrats without a back bone fluffed it - blame them! http://lawyers-inforbritain.uk/b-m-a/can-the-uk-control-its-borders-if-it-remains-in-the-eu/ We NEED legal immigration as the traditional British guy (the ones the racists love) aren't breeding enough or don't want to do the menial jobs to support a growing economy. Anyway - what was so great about 60's/70's Britain that people seem to yearn for? Is it the increased poverty? (Wilfred Beckerman estimated that 9.9% of the British population lived below a standardised poverty line in 1973, compared with 6.1% of the population of Belgium.[17]) Maybe it was the slums where "12% of British households living in houses or flats considered to be unfit for human habitation in 1972"? Some people sure seem to love returning back to the days of poverty. [ATTACH=CONFIG]233239[/ATTACH] Our OWN government shat on us from a great height in various ways that they didn't necessarily need to (mining closures, steel works, privatisation etc) because it suited their financial agenda. I'm no expert on this, but I understand they screwed over the North of Britain to help "the country" (ie London) prosper. However that worked, the shift of moving to more service orientated industries must have been more attractive to future generations compared to the filthy dangers working in a hole or in a steel works. However, the facts show that Britain was never really that great and has seen huge gains in my lifetime. You *could* argue that you think Britain might have been "Greater" for not being in the EU and point out some fiscal studies that try to point out if the EU has held us back in some way. Please do find something credible to convince me. "The ruling hand" - wow, seriously? I don't have time to point out all the good ways we've benefitted and things that the EU has forced our government to do for the good of the environment, privacy, GDPR etc. Also keeping our government in check from doing what the hell they like. (Any George Orwell or Margaret Atwood fans out there?) These links seem to offer some impartial facts: https://ukandeu.ac.uk/fact-figures/what-proportion-of-uk-law-is-made-in-brussels/ https://ukandeu.ac.uk/fact-figures/does-eu-law-take-precedence-over-uk-law/ https://ukandeu.ac.uk/fact-figures/what-is-sovereignty/ Besides, even if you DO think Brexit will resolve that particular issue I believe you'll be sadly mistaken. This is an interesting article (there are A LOT of words, hang in there! It's OK to give up half way, I didn't read the whole thing either.) but here's an interesting highlight fairly early in As for No Deal - the importance of trade agreements is taught to school children in basic economics class. https://www.tutor2u.net/economics/reference/importance-of-trade-for-developing-countries If you're leaving a major trading partner then you'd better have done some top notch negotiations (which our incompetent government has utterly failed to do). We'd need to have some excellent deals elsewhere - oh, but the rest of the world knows we're desperate and aren't going to give us favourable deals right now. Sure, the USA would love to sell us their sub standard meats, but is it really a good deal? Sure, there's always room for improvement to agreements and changes to be made as our needs change overtime - but to have no trade deal overnight with our closest neighbours is economical suicide and will put many many companies out of business if they cannot survive after the required price increases. But then most people don't care about business owners, "yeah, stick it to the man we don't sell the the EU!"..."Oh, what? that machine over there has broken and we can't afford to replace it because it was made in Italy? You've got to sack two guys to be able to afford it and one of them is me? Oh......I'd best go pick some potatoes in East Anglia then". Basically....and this is the crux....whatever you believe would work better for you, your kids etc we've been utterly and completely failed by the government to implement anything like a good picture for our future since the vote. I mean really...it was always going to be pretty impossible to implement the required changes in such a short period...but what actual progress has been made? Why aren't we marching on the streets TOGETHER complaining about that we want the government to get their act together? Stop turning on each other and unify against those morons to get us the best outcome. All we're left with is a bitter Marmite divide between the people who are frustrated in equal parts that they're not being listened to...even within the political parties themselves. All I know with certainty is that jumping off a cliff together whilst punching each other in the face is not going to improve anything.

Yes if you have an aerotop. Not really noticeable otherwise I'd say. Upgrade the ARBs for a real difference.

I find prices vary considerably between dealerships. Who did you order from?

That does sound unusual given your rinsing procedures. What are you washing with? A decent wool wash mit?

I had no idea this was a thing! (or more likely forgot it was). I wonder if they did one for TipTronics?

Also check https://www.carparts4less.co.uk - it's Euro Car parts, uses the same product codes but sometimes one is much cheaper than the other for some reason. You have to watch the prices and fake discounts they do.

It's not spiralled into a green war environmental death match or calling each other Hitler yet so I see no need to lock it?

Did anyone else have to read this sentence five times?

That's a thing? Seriously?

You're not exactly a million miles away from that already?

They'll all be minimum of £50k by November 11th...around 2:30PM.

Speedo to read MPG? I had one and the TRD speedo is awful in MPH - you can barely tell what's 30 and 40.

Yes. We should all be driving around in old classics when you consider the ecological footprint of build a new car and scrapping an old one. Way more damage than the thing is putting out running it. Wait until we're having to deal with thousands of dead Tesla batteries.
