  1. Sorry to hear of your troubles with this one, I had a similar problem with mine not so long ago. I went through everything including stripping everything down and re-timing in the cam, replacing all the ignition, sorting through wiring and fuelling. But it turned out the needle was 10 thou too small for the jet (obviously ) which through everything out The panel doesn't look too bad really should push out with a port-a-power and a quick weld over the joint. Nice scuttle panel, Looks like a twin of mine
  2. Also check how the e-mail addresses you. Paypal will only ever address you by name, All scam e-mails will address you as 'paypal user', 'paypal customer', 'sir/madam' ect.. I get about 3 or 4 a day through work

    Window tints

    When I had my windows done on the mini a few years ago (after the new laws came in) I was told by the bloke doing it that there was no legal limit for the rear screen or rear side windows. The legal limit on the front side windows was a 30% tint (or 70% transparency) and the front screen was approximately 5-10%... Which is usually already done at the factory. I did look into doing it myself at the time and it is basically the same as doing vinyl sign writing or stickers, use soapy water lay the film over that and then squeeze it all out, this is so you don't trap air bubbles between the glass and film. I personally wouldn't use the stuff from halfords as its usually cheap, Most professionals would sell you some but it'll cost you a lot more! The film is stuck to the inside of the glass (if its on the outside it will get damaged from dirt / washing / stones ect.) and a little tip is when you have put it on the glass and your happy with it use a small file around the edges to make it as smooth as possible so you have less chance of it getting caught and tearing. Hope this helps!
  4. Hi Mooret, I'll keep an eye out for you. Where abouts are you?
  5. Thanks, Yeah I did. He didn't get anywhere near what he wanted for it originally, I think he had a little cry after I left If I knew then what I know about supra's now I would have walked away. (and I've made those side skirts fit a lot better now too) Ah yeah I saw that mini on the sunday Geo, he was quite nippy lol
  6. Not completely, Like I said I've wanted one since I was a kid but seeing so many on the strip that day just gave me that extra push to get one, and if you guys are getting beaten my mini's there's something wrong and I wouldn't count it if the mini has a hayabusa engine though.... and this is my mini
  7. Damn, I was planning on a Trial rear and TRD spoiler in the future Thanks, Yeah it's a TT 6 speed manual Maybe this is why greater manchester police seem to love pulling me over lol and I forgot to mention in my first post I bought my supra partly because of this forum too, I was at mini in the park last year (the day after suprapod) and I spent the last few hours watching you guys instead of putting my tent up I think that gave me a kick to buy one lol
  8. That's not me then, I have a private plate now beginning JAG (my initials) I saw ed but he didn't see me! Thanks Gaz, I will try to get some up soon (when I work out how the put them in a post!)
  9. Thanks for the welcome guys! Dan294 I live in burnley and I don't think that was me I would probably remember your supra, I did have a chase with a black one on the m6 a few weeks ago (your mrs didn't look too impressed) I'll send you a PM SupraDan, It's quite a list! lol
  10. ... But decided to pop my head out and say hello! I've been on here a few months since I bought my supra and most questions I have already been answered so I just watched you all from a far in the dark corners of the forum, Kind of like how I spend my saturday nights Anyway I've attached a picture of her the day I picked her up (sorry couldn't work out how to but it in a post on here). I've wanted a supra since I was a kid and it's finally happened I'm hoping to work my magic on her too and get some more power out of it, I also have a mini (proper one, not a new one) and I've managed to squeeze 100.4 bhp out of it! But I have the boost bug now lol Thanks for reading and while I'm here can someone tell me what lights should be on the upper right dash panel?? It doesn't seem to work, I think someone mentioned before they suffer with dry solder?
