  3. we have loads of polish at our work about 20+ i asked shift manager other day about it and he was saying they cant get white people to come for jobs.polish start off as hard workers then when they get feet under table they are lazy like many other people.very arrogant people i have found from been around them at work.good job i work on my own. if you talk to lots of people they all feel same that the countrys going down the pan. you cant even display flags in your own country.take it down in case it upsets people. if you go to another country you would have to follow there rules. PC brigade and do gooders

  18. when i had a bump in mine i thought i would go with aftermarket kit top secret bumper,veilside skirts and spats.i thought it was ok at the time but hate that look now.prefer just plain stock look facelift.been with the 19" wheels never again. plain stock 17`s fine for me.the side skirts you cant get your jack under them to lift car. everybody likes to put there mark on there car.some look good like jamies car but had a lot of effort put into it. just a plain boring stock look with a bit of power under the bonnet.
  19. how much for pipe on right hand side in 1st pic thanks just to experiment on
  20. why say 1 word when 10 useless ones will do. its not bad for money.would not fancy paying £130k for a through terrace.better get something before its too late. whats wages like down south.im on about 30k a year.3 12 hour shifts a week and 1 sunday a month overtime
  21. i just got my 1st house,a bit late in life but got to try.not the dream house i was after but that was out in pontefract.was real nice house with 23 meter back garden.decided to buy a 3 bedroom house 20 houses from where im living now.its on main road but know its an ok area.better than been in a estate.the one i got was up for 105k got it for 103k.needs a bit of modernising.has a brand new roof.new kitchen.front garden has a drive.must have been done by a blind man. looking forward to moving.supra been put on back boiler till i get sorted.im doing it on my own too.will be hard but bet it will be worth it.dont know how u people down south cope.i should have got one years ago.u make your own mistakes. think i bought at peak so will be a few years before u see any gains.put an offer of 117k on the first house that was up for 119.995k he rejected it an said he would take 118k said its ok will continue looking.then put offer in house in leeds.the other house owner said i could have it for 116.995k £5 cheaper than the price i offerd. his house been up for sale 6 months.garden was amazing enough room for a double garage and workshop.he was selling his house and his g/f selling her big house and they were going to buy big detatched house.

  23. totally fantastic to be in 8`s not much in it with the big 2 8 second skylines and leon now.his car seems very quiet to the 2 skylines that sound like a bag of nuts and bolts. anyone got more spec of leons car so i can update his score on drag list.seen his car from years ago when it was blue and that the hks twins on.come a long way.had a lot of ups and downs over years. makes u wonder why crd took out irs for custom set up. still great to see all the efforet going into these top supras great news
  24. as far as i can remember it holds car in 1st gear and reverse locking wheels up on a button and u build boost off line and press button to launch. had a video of a usa supra with gt47-80 with th400 with transbrake launching it jumped off line and went on to do a 8 second pass with no nos.not sure if the car had a 3.4 stroker. will do a search for info heres an explanation Valve Bodies Our Trans-Brake Series allows you to achieve maximum torque converter stall and provides for quicker and more consistent reaction times and 60 foot times. This is due to the Trans-Brake action which prevents an engine's torque load from being transmitted through the drive train prior to the launch. The Trans-Brake acts in much the same manner as a manual clutch. Once the Trans-Brake is engaged, the vehicle can neither roll forward nor backward and as you press on the accelerator the engine can rpm as high as the torque converter stall. Once the Trans-Brake is released, the power is transmitted immediately to the rear tires in much the same manner as a manual clutch but with the parts saving advantage of the torque converter's shock absorbing action. Fits GM TH400, 1965 & later. Has reverse shift pattern.
