  1. Also in FAQ:

     

    "Question: I'm a crossdresser interested in a full body silicone female skin. Can I buy a REALDOLL skin or can you tell me where I can get a silicone female body suit?

     

    We don't offer silicone body suits and REALDOLL does not have a separate skin. REALDOLL is a solid silicone doll. To our knowledge, no company offers a silicone female body suit. A silicone suit would require a sophisticated cooling system (silicone retains heat and does not breathe), and be custom-fitted to your body from a life-cast. We don't offer such services and we don't know anyone who does. "

     

    :blink: :blink: :blink:

  2. so why the need for a pipe - and whats at the end of it? What does the pipe actually DO?

    Does it just make the noise LOUDER?

     

    The standard wastegate in the supra allows any "excess" exhaust gas to be released back into the exhaust, bypassing the turbos. A screamer pipe (which I don't know if you can even get for a supra) releases this gas to atmosphere instead, effectively an unsilenced exhaust pipe in your engine bay. :D

  3. So is that bigger disks and bigger calipers then??

     

    Yep. Also, the calipers are fixed four pot on the front, rather than floating twins and fixed two pot on the rear, rather than a single floating. :)

  4. However, 18 months ago - I had keratoconjunctivitis. That left tiny pin prick scars on my cornea of my right eye

     

    would that effect my suitability of treatment ?

     

    No. One of the methods of laser surgery involves cutting a flap in the cornea anyway, either way some residual corneal scarring from a previous ulcer won't matter. It's the lens inside the eye that they're working on.

     

    Having said that, I personally wouldn't get it done. I've heard too many bad stories and there's no going back. I've now got contacts that you leave in for a week (overnight too) that are great and no hassle at all. :)

  5. First a silver one with big APR style wing and blue graphics parked up on Howden Rd (I think). Seen it there before.

     

    Second, a sort of pastel blue one parked in parkside street last night.

     

    Lastly a silver driving out Howden road today, M** RPR :)

  6. There is nothing mechanical stopping the first turbo from spinning up (unlike the second) so as far as I can see there can really only be one of three problems.

     

    1. A duffed turbo. Unlikely with an intermittent problem like this where you're sometimes getting 0.7 bar ok.

     

    2. The wastegate sticking open. Stick a foot pump directly onto one of the actuator pipes and block off the other one. It should start to open smoothly at 12psi and be fully open by 18psi.

     

    3. A boost leak. Could be a hose, a sticky BOV, etc. Happy hunting!

  7. I don't know how it works in Karate et al but, once into the Dan grades, we have grading intervals measured in years and the high grades have to do some serious overseas travelling to get to grading sessions.

     

    Very similar (with the JKA anyway). You have to be 1st dan for at least a year, 2nd dan for two years and so on. In reality you'd have to be absolutely shit hot to get anywhere near 4th dan by your mid thirties.

     

    It's amazing watching the difference in ability between the graded members.

     

    I know what you mean! When I was 1st kyu (just before black) I came home from uni for a bit and went to a little independant local club where the instructor was "3rd Dan" in their grading system. Spent the first night kicking him all over the floor. :D

  8. Now IIRC in Karate and the like, a first Dan is seen as "some pretty hot shit"

     

    Not if you join a proper organisation as apposed to some crappy little local club. Most first Dan black belts I've come across are shit with a massive jump in standard to 2nd Dan and so on. :)

  9. That looks very nice indeedy. What paint did you use and has is stayed well?

     

    It's stayed fine although I am carefull about not scratching it. It isn't even laquered as when I laquered it at first it went all blotchy. Paint is halfords own white primer then matt black (once I'd got all the rubber stuff off). :)
