    Anyone play Borderlands 2?

    Only on PC, and even then i hardly game as much as i used to - i've been too busy replaying Fallout: New Vegas.

    Joy ride wrecks super rare Mercedes

    Definitely direct injection. The engine put out more power than a 7M-GE : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercedes_300SL#Technical_data Very impressive.

    Getting out of the Supra game.

    It's called getting old :p Fast cars aren't a major priority for me anymore, and i doubt they will be ever again. If i lived in the US and could afford to drive, i might, but here? Pfft. I'm lucky they dont tax me for walking -_-

    Getting out of the Supra game.

    Practicality comes into play...that, and after a while you just get tired of the damn things. I moved from a Supra to a VW Polo...and then to nothing (suspended license on medical grounds). I dont really miss driving, or the extortionate cost of driving. To be honest, i don't *need* a car...

    Crazy how fast your life can flash in front of your eyes..

    I totally agree with IJ - i just don't have the time, energy & cash to fund a Mk3 Supra anymore. Honestly, i'm looking more for practicality and total cost of ownership for future cars. For fast cars, it's now a case of 'been there, done that' and move on. I'll keep my one remaining Mk3 for a...

    How to deal with an unsatisfied buyer?

    You may know you're being talked about, but no one else has a clue who you are, or even cares. It's only you, stepping in, that escalates things. I stand by my original post. The car was sold in GOOD FAITH. I'm clearly not the only one that thinks the idea of giving a refund is totally...

    How to deal with an unsatisfied buyer?

    $1140 Canadian. Started, ran, drove, boosted. Had faults, everything electrical on it worked flawlessly.

    How to deal with an unsatisfied buyer?

    I have never once "proclaimed to be an expert" - either to you, or anyone else - I've owned 4 of these cars now, i know a fair sight more than YOU do about them. This is a fact. Not a boast, but a plain, simple fact. It's a case of CAVEAT EMPTOR. You bought the car, with no MOT, or TAX...

    How to deal with an unsatisfied buyer?

    This is what i typed up to go with the car: I think thats fair enough information, plus the fact they KNEW it had no MOT or TAX on it. Would you say i misrepresented the vehicle?

    How to deal with an unsatisfied buyer?

    Okay - rundown of the situation is.... I sold one of my Supra's the other week, to someone for £700. Originally it was advertised for £750. I did them a favour since I knew them a bit, and knocked fifty off the price. Now, it was very clearly explained that the car had no MOT or Tax, and...

    Thinking about 2uz swap in a 89 mkiii

    As has already been said - 2UZ's are heavy. They might have good displacement - but consider that a fully built up 1UZ or 3UZ-FE, with ancillaries, weighs in at the same as a 7M-GTE without the ancillaries. You can squeeze a lot of horses out of 1UZ. I'd choose it, over a 2UZ even if they were...

    Stock FPR good enough?

    With that setup i'm surprised you haven't leaned out your mixture and turned your combustion chamber into a plasma cutter. The 650cc injectors you have now - what pressure do they actually hit 650cc/min AT? Stock FPR isn't going to supply anywhere near enough pressure for them. Best to just...

    What quality coilovers are left for our MkIIIs. (Track wise)

    I'm surprised you didn't remember HSD's there Derek ;) I have a set of HSD's on my Red Mk3 - it handles like its on rails - fantastic coilies.

    Valve Clearances & Performance

    Been searching for a definitive answer to this, but...say the valve clearances are out of spec - either too tight, or too loose, what sort of symptoms & impact does this have? I'm guessing poor acceleration & throttle response as well as ticking noise?

    Overheating Issue only under boost

    Take the tanks off and look through it, see if it's sludged up - you did have quite a few bent fins on it before though, so it could be that, too.

    Anybody good with harnesses?

    As long as your existing harness isn't totally screwed - you can remanufacture it yourself. Wire is cheap and easy to source, and the pins & wire seals are SUMITOMO MT Series 090 pins. I get my stuff from www.polevolt.co.uk Connector housings are still available from Toyota, but usually your...
