  1. Hubbbaaaa hubbaaaa....now then, that's a REAL woman!! All that's missing for me is a cig in the corner of your mouth!!!!! haha
  2. .....ohhh.....tinker I must! Can the viscous fans be overhauled?
  3. Swap you for a full Porsche 944? Needs a respray.
  4. I got a Supra that I could afford purely because I like the look of them. If I had anywhere near 400 or 500bhp under my right foot, I'd either kill myself or lose my license anyway. .....and I'm not a kid, I'm 40 years old, I just lack the restraint part in my brain that most other people seem to have....I think the modern term is ADHD or something.....
  5. The lambda after the 1st cat in an NA, is that a different type of sensor to the one above?....the reason that I ask is, I replaced the gasket between my 1st cat and the centrepipe and the sensor I saw was a longer, thinner one, almost like ceramic if that makes any sense? It has the same flange fitting as the one above, but the actual sensor is leaking and the bolt heads are so rusted that they are barely recogniseable! I dont want to swap it only to find I have the wrong replacement one.
  6. I have an NA Auto and as most of you will know, the bottom of the radiator on these cars is the oil cooler for the transmission. I am looking to uprate the cooling on my car and fit electric fans, I don't trust the viscous fan at all and removing that and the air-con from an NA should improve throttle response a little bit. I am aware of the power steering bracket issues associated with the aircon removal, but what pitfalls am I likely to encounter in the fitting of an aluminium radiator intended for a TT and fitting a separate transmission oil cooler in where the standard IC would go on a TT? Cooling would be via 2 x 12" or (similar sized) fans fitted in a custom shroud on the rear of the rad and would be switched via a sensor plumbed into the top radiator hose. I would also be looking to fit a more accurate temp gauge in the cockpit. All suggestions and advice gratefully received. Cheers.
  7. Haha...I like women with mechanical savvy....
  8. Cheers lads. I wish I could keep it but if I'm to use the Supra as my everyday car over the summer I have a good few things that need to be addressed beforehand. Including tax!
  9. Does 'Marmite' make any other parts for the Supra? *wonders what the Sunpat spoilers look like*
  10. I'm getting this phone as an upgrade purely because it is a newly released, high quality phone and I know I can sell it for decent money in order to buy parts for my car. I have a fairly new BB that I use and I am quite happy with it. I ordered the Sony last night and it should be here next working day, Monday. I will open the box only to make sure everything is present. I wont be fitting the battery or removing any protective covers etc unless asked to by the person who buys it from me. These are retailing, as an unlocked phone, for around £500. I would be after £400, as an o2 supplied handset it will already be open to all networks. **The phone will be sent out on Special signed for delivery and will be insured for £500.** If you have any questions I'll do my best to answer them Cheers. p.s. please don't confuse this with the older and less desireable Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S.
  11. Did you keep your pyjamas on especially for the photo's??
  12. My car came to me without any fitted. I dont like the idea of the belt not being protected. I hate backstreet know it alls...."Oh you dont need those, they just get in the way 'cos I'll have to take 'em all off again after my dodgy repair falls apart and you have to bring it back to me again!!!" (say the quote with a regional 'dodgy mechanic' dialect of your choosing) Let me know if you have anything. Thanks
  13. I am in need of a Fan shroud for my car, the fan just cant cool things efficiently without one. Let me know what you have, cheers people.
  14. Also, breaking down in a modified performance car is more embarassing, because 'normal' people in their unmodified turdparcels give you such smug looks. You can imagine them thinking....."Ha, broken down have we? Flash Harry!!!!"
  15. I love the twin back box....and the flux capacitor.
  16. I like Thruxtons......just thought I'd throw that in there....
  17. Mine have all been ripped off....and my car hasn't burst into flames, yet.
  18. My NA is running 400 BHP's, due to a 6" tailpipe and a Full intake kit. The Momo steering wheel(s) alone must be good for about 25 of those though. I also intend to draw a dragon on it, probably.
