  1. TBH mate I can't remember. What I do remember was twisting it into the right position until it was just right. I was one of those trial and error jobbies. What I do remember was that the OD light was blinking on and off. I had to keep resetting the ECU to stop it flashing. It was flashing again if in wrong position. As for code 42 IIRC that only normally comes up if you have a dodgy speed delimiter.
  2. The TPS may not be past it. I remember that when I put a polished throttle body on my TT that it slipped and I got similar problems to yours. So it may just have come loose and need repositioning and tightening back up. It is a PITA to get just in the right position though it took lots of patience to get it just right.
  3. I think Neitzsche sums it up: In Christianity neither morality nor religion come into contact with reality at any point. Which is it: Is man one of God's blunders or is God one of man's? Woman was God's second mistake. Faith, indeed, has up to the present not been able to move real mountains.... But it can put mountains where there are none.
  4. I got a Focus St170 when the Supra went its actually quite a fun car. But as said will never be a Supra

    Car insurance

    Try Tesco compare they always seem to be the cheapest comparison site for me
  6. For club members to advertise second hand mkiv Supra parts. The forum description says.
  7. Take it to Homebase and get them to colour match a the Dulux machine
  8. Glad I moved from Worcester at least I won't here the bang when it lets go . On a serious side why bother why not sell it buy a TT bpu it and save yourself a shed load of cash
  9. I used to try not to teach people a lesson but BMW's always put me in ownage mode due to them driving like c*cks. I remember driving back from Scotland on the M6 at 11pm at night I was doing around 80 leptons and making good ground on a Beemer when I got alongside after moving across from lane 1 to 3 as on a clear motorway he owned the middle lane he decided to put his foot down. Having 180 miles to go I wasn't going to play games, so I pulled back into lane 1 at 80 to let him go on his merry way. His response was to slow back down to 75 so again moved from 1 to 3 for the same thing to happen. Getting bored I moved back into lane 1 and as before I pulled up alongside him and gave him a look as if to ask WTF are you doing. Knowing his next move I dropped it into 3rd ready to hit the loud pedal he then as predicted decided to boot it so it was time to unleish 620 bhp of Toyota exoctica at him. As I did so the I pulled 2 car lengths and the back end squirmed out with my front end in lane 2 and back end in lane 1. I was doing around 120-130 leptons at this point so I politely gave him 1 finger out of the drivers side window ( I was looking at him due to the angle through his windscreen) straightened her up and continued to boot it up to 160 ish. I slowed back down to 80 and he eventually caught up and followed behind me for around 20 miles before turning off. It was fun and did put a smile on my face I have to admit however the Mrs in the passenger seat didn't find it as funny as I did and didn't speak to me for the rest of the journey home, even when we stopped at the services
  10. Apart from being Supraless not bad what is really frustrating is I live only 3 miles from Rockingham and hear all the cars blasting round I really need a 4 door that will give me the fun factor so far an Evo is looking like an option
  11. Where did your supra end up Wayne ??
  12. The reason TT drivers hate NA's is because no one can tell if they are driving a £2.5k car or not Single drivers simply don't car
  13. It is possible my Aerotop NA Auto was quite happy at that sort of leptons. I remember when went on SW Supra Gumball and someone commented that not may TT aero's around and he was shocked when he found out it was an NA as he was struggling to keep pace
  14. Yep that would be the case if you had set the reserve at say £501 then BIN option would still be available. In CW's case the product would have already reached its reserve price
  15. It's the mileage that winds me up. Either don't put it or put 120 instead of 120000 grrrrr !!!
  16. That was fun Good old RPS triple plate with a hardly any bite point
  17. Hello 26k posts I have been away along time
