  1. I'm approaching the conclusion that prices of Supras have dipped to the point where it's cheaper to invest the money in your own than sell and get something closer to what you want. It's shocking how low the prices have gone but then there's a credit crunch on, and fuel prices are through the roof, I guess that's just the state of the economy at the moment.
  2. Can you describe what happens when you engage the cruise control? Also, pull the cruise control fault codes and see what they say. (Connect E1 and TC on the diagnosis port)
  3. In my case RLTC takes the strain so I've no need for the standard traction control to be turned on. I've also had the back step out in torrential rain with the RLTC set to Wet so I'd also agree that you can't trust it 100%.
  4. Everyone is quite entitled to mis-read something.
  5. Crank pulleys are strangely high tech. Something to do with harmonic dampening. Best bet is to get a brand new OEM one.
  6. Doesn't that contradict what Eric said:
  7. Steve Manley is top man. Always helpful and will talk for ages with enthusiasm about our cars. He's in Oxford btw. (unless he's upped and moved in the past month)
  8. It's the biomechanical action of how you run (or walk for that matter). Everyone's is different.
  9. I get gait analysis on every pair I buy (and I buy a new pair of running shoes every 3 months). Well worth doing. Runners Need in London do free gait analysis and they know their stuff as well. FWIW running shoes are designed to last on average about 500 miles. Tracking your mileage allows you to manage when you change your shoes. My theory is that I only get one set of ankles, knees and hips, but I can get many many pairs of trainers.
  10. I've been in a 355 recently and it's like a big go-cart. Excellent fun.
  11. It'll be worth the wait to get one. I've got one and they are the mutts nuts.
  12. I've got one of these fitted to my car and I've also got the HKS exhaust baffle for it. With the baffle in it's not alot louder than a standard system. I have to keep it in because I go to work at 5am and the neighbours and my wife would murder me for waking them up. (Edit: Pretty sure I don't have the silencer in my system either, I'm pretty certain I've only got the backbox) (Edit: Just checked my huge gallery of photos and I don't have that silencer)
  13. I'd consider getting a quote to get it fixed and discuss a discount. My original asking price was more but considering the oil leak I had already reduced it) The leak hasn't changed in the three years I've had the car. It's never concerned me and I've had two mechanic check it out and both have advised me to leave it alone because the oil loss is very small.
  14. Find a bit more cash and you could buy mine.....
  15. I've read alot of this guys posts now and I've come to conclusion it has to be another member on the wind up. This guy cannot be for real, no way.
  16. Seems highly illegal and also a rather silly thing to be trying to organise on a public forum.
  17. What mileage is on them? Let's see the pictures and we'll talk money.
  18. How much mate? What sort of condition?
  19. I need a set of j-spec rear disks (new or used). Anyone got a set lying around that they want rid of?
  20. Funny thing was that I then had to walk from the Isle of Bogs, up Commercial Road almost into the City to collect my wife (who I knew would be in a cab on the same road). I walked up the middle of the road through the enormous traffic jam looking in all the cabs for my wife. When I found her I paid the cabbie and walked with her back onto the Isle of Dogs. Hell of a long walk. Very weird evening.
  21. Walking to South Quay station in Docklands just before 7pm on the 10th February 1996. Met a security guard who wouldn't let me go into the station itself. Pleaded and begged for him to let me onto the platform because I really had to get to Liverpool St station to pick the wife up. He wasn't budging so I head back into the office swearing loudly all the way. Walk into the office and announce to the guys I was working with just how p!ssed off I was and then as I was talking...... BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMM The loudest, most incredible noise lifts me off my feet and throws me across the room. Ceiling tiles fall down, dust everywhere. My world had turned into this: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/8/8d/SouthKey_bombing_-_9.2.96.jpg The building I was in was the other side of the station and was partially shielded from the blast, it also had bombproof windows so although the windows bowed in and out at least a foot under the pressure wave from the bomb they staying in one piece. Had they not I would have been minced. For months afterwards any loud bangs had me scuttling under tables.
