AlexM Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 That's good hoff. I finally have a numberplate holder so my car is booked in with silverstone garage for engine test/check, heater check, mot etc. Perhaps I'll get a couple of days play before the tax & insurance is due!

Dazzi Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Nice one Hoff, can't wait to see them. BTW im toying with the idea of no spoiler. My new wheels really make the car stand out and with no spoiler the car appears to look lower. What do you think? Sorry, camera phone again :roll: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexM Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 I really like them without a spoiler, would you get it filled & blended or just cap the holes though? I also found it makes a massive difference to rear visibility, so much so that I'm tempted to remove it from my daily.. Do you know what LEDs you have in your sidelights Dazzi? They appear to be rather white. My 'superwhite' ones actually turned out to be blue, so need to replace them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazzi Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 I will get the holes filled Alex. I have a few bits to do on the boot lid so will get it all done at the same time: Respray (orange peel visible) and also superglue that was used to stick the supra badge on!, rust around the seal, dewipering has left a hole that needs filling rather then leaving it with a grommet and the spoiler holes. Should be smooth as a babies back side when done. I got the LED's sidelights from motorworld. They look like a normal LED but much bigger. You can find them usually by all the chavvy lighting part of the shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexM Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 News just in on my White car, head gasket in fine.. waterpump is damaged/faulty - I have about half the flow I should do. That'll be a new water pump then! I think I'm spent for a good 6 months now (after insurance, tax, and another mot). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazzi Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 I got a new problem too. I was driving home and when the revs got to 3400 revs i hear this high pitch scraping noise like the gear wouldn't engage (didn't touch the gear stick btw) it happen in every gear at 3400 revs. I don't think its the clutch is it? It would make a noise through the hole rev range I would of thought. I think it must be this old stock exhaust... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoff Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Mmmmm, I'd post that in supra chat or technical Daz. You will get plenty of people to see it there and hopefully they can tell you what the problem is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazzi Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Yea, will do if I don't find anything tomorrow Hoff. Im sure its the exhaust as the rattle has got louder, the temp is sitting about 3 degrees higher, the revs are high on idle and it still rattles in neutral - must be blocked up, maybe a piece of metal from one the silencer boxes has got lodged.

AlexM Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Who knows! I'll mention it nearer the time, though if I decide to do some track time I don't think he'll be wanting to sit in the white one for that length of time. I'm having trouble even deciding what (spec) I want to aim for, and I already own one (two)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
