  1. Eh? Yes it is, I was providing factual information pertaining to the first post in this thread, and the original question. By posting links to statutory rights I have answered the questions asked. I'm not argueing with Jake, if you see my last post I am agreeing with him
  2. You are right on that front though mate, providing their statutory rights haven't been effected apparently. Looky looky!
  3. This still applies to a majority portion of the sales from traders on this site. I don't think ENVY have a shop. So all of their sales must be internet/telephone based, unless everyone has started driving to Newcastle. The same goes to the other traders. Do any of them have a shop where you can walk in a browse the products like a retailer, other than the workshops designed for working on the cars as opposed to displaying products?
  4. What would we want to speak like you Northern wooses (sp?) for?
  5. I agree with you completely dude! 3 spokes look gei! If you want light wheels and were concerned about it you should buy some Magnesium ones. I have Volk's and I bet they are not any heavier than those 3 spokes. Is all down to personal opinion at the end of the day though. I think the car other than that looks nice though. I'm very jealous
  6. 7-10K assuming its not facelift VVTi. If it is then 6K
  7. He can't of been a very good mechanic to not find a rattle from a heat shield
  8. You may I have driven my TT for almost 18 months (owened both cars this amount of time) and have been very happy with it. The problem is most of time is spent driving it to work in the traffic (where the auto box is amazing by the way). On top of that the car doesn't feel that quick around the town and on slower roads becuase it doesn't really need to work to get the speed. So although you may actually be accelerating pretty nimbly, it doesn't really feel like you are. You just notice all the cars around you dissapearing! The NA feels more nimble and faster, although it obviously isn't. That combined with the fact that the NA will happily drive around on normal unleaded and the TT only likes Optimax or BP Ultimate. The actual consumption isn't much better in the NA but the fuel is cheaper to buy and it adds up when you do say 12,00 miles a year. If your happy with just the looks and the NA performance, get a 1999 (or newer) NA with your cash and be done with it. I bought my TT after kidding myself the NA power would be okay. The NA was still on the ship from Japan at this point! I was after power though deep down. The NA in real terms isn't that much slower either, it does get crippled by the TT in torque though, so keeping it in the right gear is more important. Also, if your looking to mod in the future months to get extra power, don't bother with the NA. They are not very tuneable. You will also strangely find that the TT is cheaper to insure than the NA, and the UK TT is cheaper than them both. Its all show and less go for me now

    auto or 6 speed

    Can you choose 1st and 2nd or 3rd at 165mph then?
  10. I'm sure Dan has too, I don't think that was the question though. Isn't a return part of our statuatory rights within 7 days or so? I'm just playing devils advocat.
  11. Jake P.I. Do you do surveillance work too?
  12. Go and drive both a TT and NA and see what you think. It sounds to me as if you really want the power and the tuning potential of the TT. If thats the case don't waste your time with the NA, you will regret it and it will cost you money. Your budget is enough to get you decent 6 speed TT. Either of them are fine to drive providing you use a bit of common sense. If you floor it at 60mph round a corner in the rain you will end up in trouble. If you expect otherwise you shouldn't even be in a car. But at the end of the day they are very good handling cars and do have to be pushed to cause problems. People always say 'oooh don't get a TT if you haven't had a rear wheel drive car before'. Respect the car and you will be fine. For what its worth, I have both TT and NA, and will be selling one soon...........the TT
  13. No. Are you going to tell us?

    Ebay Joke

    PMSL The funny thing is there is probably some muppet thinking about buying it
  15. Hola! (take note of spelling ) I had an S14a, just thought I'd share that with you all
  16. Swanky haribo decals?
  17. Strawberry flavoured nitrous, with gummy bear drag radials? This thread is annoying though
  18. Yep, what he said I would try Paul E at Miami GT or Gaz Walker at Envy Performance. Both listed on this board in the traders section with links and contact details.
  19. I am pretty sure you could get this done from letting Toyota know the chassis number. They would be able to code it for you as well from that information I guess. If you have an aftermarket alarm you don't use it anyway do you? IIRC I think the UK standard alarm is Thatcham approved, nothing to do with this thread but interesting none the less
