Good question this & quite a big decision. I came from the "old Ford" performance club e.g. rs turbos & Sierra/Escort Cosworths. No I'm not a Chav I bought the cars because they performed well & actually sold my Escort Cosworth for almost double what my Supe cost & I bought at the wrong time compared for what they are going for now. I never for one moment thought I would ever own an auto car, I always thought as them being for fat overpaid directors in BMW's who couldn’t drive. I was looking for a manual TT for 6 months & found 7 in total, which I test-drove. I'm a very fussy person & they just wasn't right e.g. condition of the cars or weirdo looking owner. In the end I gave in to looking at an auto TT that was owned by a lady owner, I couldn’t believe how well it drove & was instantly hooked. I thought I was giving it large down the long twisty Country lanes when I test-drove it. She kept saying go faster go for it "wait till the second turbo comes on" When I let her take over I couldn’t believe how fast an auto could shift & bought the car. End of the day I really like the auto for performance & comfort, I don't think I would change it & don’t ever miss a manual gearbox. Maybe it was to do with the fit blonde bird that sold me the car, I don’t know? Aw fark maybe It was!

That was moi, TRD Spoiler at the rear though:) Were you In a Supe? Didn’t see any others Haven’t been down there in ages, don’t think I will be either. It's all Fiesta boys in Tracksuits, I even saw someone in a shell suit! Man that’s bad.

Thats a bargain at that price, I just sold my old set of these on E-bay for £580.00 & the guy paid to ship them to pakistan !

Hi Mate, I'm still after this. Let me know how you want paying I can do a bank transfer today if you want £130.00 inc postage ok ? Cheers Steve

Cheer's pal, I can’t wait to see her finished. Hopefully have her home next week. I can’t even remember what it feels like to drive a supe it's been that long! Just waiting on wheels from Dusty to finish it off, those white ones on now don’t drop at all. Don’t want to swap for them CCW's do you Chris

That would be mine Matey, Cant wait to get her back. Going to have a look next week when I get a chance, Looked liked scrap metal last time I looked. Totally stripped naked. Was inspired by your paintjob TRD btw thanks for the low bank balance I'll stick some Pics up when she's finished, GVN are doing a top job & their attention to detail is class.

Lucky sod, Most would pay to have that taken off. He should be happy its been stolen off his car & found a new home on some Nova Only jokeing, Ill keep a eye out down MCDonalds !

I fitted my set last night; I’m disappointed in their performance too. Took the car out tonight & I could hardly notice any difference from a driving view. When you look at the light’s you can obviously see they are HID from outside the car & have made an improvement in the aesthetics of the lights, but don’t seem to give us much vision as they should. I got stopped at the light alongside a BMW with HID’s & looking ahead his seemed to light up the road ahead a fair amount more than mine. I’ll post up a pic of mine tomorrow.

Tell me about it, theirs some seriously messed up people out there. Where I live some nutter this morning decided to go out and stab 7 people randomly for absolutely no reason, In the space of about 1 hour he just drove round stabbing people & getting back in his car. 2 people died as a result of his craziness & the rest are seriously injured. What is going on??? The sick thing is that made my stomach turn is my girlfriends mum walks down the same road to the catch the train to the city, the nutter's first victim was walking down this same road at 8.20 when he was killed...20 mins later!! The police have now caught this sicko. Yesterday about 10mins down the road a shopkeeper was killed after chasing two guys who nicked two bottles of vodka from his shop. Killed for two bottles of vodka!!! Then another few minutes from there down the road there was a murder? & The next road from along from the murder their was an armed robbery in a shop. I'm actually used to the yellow signs the police put up now, they seem to be down almost every road. Time to move out of North London I think.

I got a set of the 100mm Ring Angel lights for my Bomex, Got mine from Ebay for £50.00. They come with their own switch so you can turn just the outer ring on for an Angel eye effect or turn the driving lamp on too. They fit perfect & come with all the wiring, look really well made. You will need to make a bracket up though.

Thanks asuparcar for the link, I tried what I could in that fault procedure. I ended up resetting the ECU went for a quick spin & it hasn’t showed up again, noticed my brake fluid was low so that’s properly why the red warning light was coming on under hard braking & acceleration. Ill try the engine diagnostic port again in a few days to see if the code comes back. Car feels more eager and responsive since resetting the ECU; I actually lost traction when the 2nd turbo came on a dry road!

I'm getting the red warning triangle come on under boost for a few sec's then go off, This happens also if I brake hard. I done the engine diagnostics test & it threw back code 14 - Ignition signal circuit. Has anyone had this code? If so what did you do to rectify the problem. I had a quick glance round the plugs & ECU and general connections I could see on the Ignition loom but can’t see anything lose or damaged. The car runs fine, just keep getting the annoying warning light flashing on Any help would be mucho appreciated Cheers, Steve

Cheers lads, Think Ill go for them then The rims are about a year old and I dont think their's a mark on them def no kerbing tyres are sweet at the front & about 50% worn on the rears. Dont like the idea of them being heavy though spent enough makeing her faster seems a bit silly to bolt on a set of heavy 19" rims now must be the Max power guy in me comeing out. Michel those OZ supraleggras look well trick and were my third choice of rim but I just love the look of the blitz rims & being the pimp that I am Im going for them. Maybe a illogical decision in terms of handling & power to weight ratio but hey its only a supra

Hey Guys, Whats the going price for a set of used 19"Blitz Technospeeds with tyres? Been offerd a set for 2 k does this sound like a fair price ?

Blue smoke on idle, no1used to spin fine even up to the day I took it back. Never herd any noises from it. I thought it would just be a seal that was slightly cracked or something. I had problems with no 2 not coming on song & thought this would be the problem turbo but I’m told no 2 is fine and the problem lies with no 1 turbo (actuator related). I had less than 1600 miles on the turbos & no1 boost was set at 0.8 bar.
