  1. Jap tyres are not illegal in this country if they meet the required spec, look for the JS symbol. If the SVA test is OK with Jap Tyres, and they are if they have the required spec they must be OK. Also, does Bridgestone not come from Japan? and so their tyres are illegal????
  2. In my exp the better the make, ie Philips etc the better the bulb, power is not everything, in this case.
  3. isnt the refund about standard though?
  4. So you cant trust rolling road figures when the car is an Auto?? what utter garbage. Come on Sraae engage brain...
  5. So, working on sraaee theory, dont fit bigger tyres just let the air out, this lets them bulge more and you can use the side wall for grip?????????????????????????LOL
  6. You could also say that the turbo boxes are stronger, hence the notcheness,, like a TT supra.
  7. We have all been where you are, its tuff, but you do get over it. Good luck
  8. chrisdbx.. If you NEED help/info etc. The LAST thing you need is duff info. Yes he was trying to help, but in his haste he might actually do some damage someday, especially when the "help" he gave was so wrong.
  9. Never tried it myself, but some say go for the real thing, ...MEN....
  10. Hi, where is the best place to get a cam belt from? thanks
  11. not trying to upset you, but should'nt you try and make your comments accurate? As others are asking for help, not rubbish, (you said it)
  12. Yes, Rubbish, and if you re read it you will see that you contradict yourself too. Keep taking the pills...

  14. Most, if not all of the warranties you can buy are mechanical BREAKAGE warranties, ie if its worn out, abused, neglected, too bad. make sure you know what you are buying.. For what its worth go for the younger car....
  15. There are additives that can do this, and they do also affect every other seal in the engine, but as they only work on seals and not gaskets etc they can be OK. The way they work is they make the rubber, (or whatever they are made of now) expand slightly and so can cure the leak. Some people will say never use it, but I have, not in my Z though. As far as I know they dont cause any trouble....IMHO
  16. I am not saying an extra cooler does not help. it does. But, your fault, ie REPEATED PLANETARY FALIURE, is I feel not caused by the box getting a bit hot. The planet gears, or epicyclic gearbox is a mechanical means of changing the ratios in the box. And this could be boiled for weeks and not suffer any undue wear as it is a hardened part. The more likely cause of this failure, IMHO, is abuse/neglect/too much hard use. Of course failure of another component, torque converter/needle roller races etc, can contaminate the box and so damage the planet gears. Please do not think I am saying dont fit an extra cooler, what I am saying is I dont feel that the failure of the box is down to the lack of cooler and the failure is just coincidence...........
  17. Top (third) gear clutch too small for the job really. Many people feel that an extra/bigger cooler saves the box, but I think that in many cases their boxes were on the way out anyway, IMHO.
  18. Seeing as I started this thread I feel I should make a comment on Pork's additions to this thread. I like 928's, I think they are very nice, BUT TAKE YOUR UNWELCOME VIEWS ELSWHERE. Maybe we should all ignore him?
  19. And I only wanted to know if my Z was keeping up with a Supra about right!
  20. Not trying to start anything, just wondering. My mate has a 95 Supra TT 6 speed UK model. I have a 93 TT auto. Standard as far as I know. My question is; when we race he always just has the edge on me, I mean he slowly, as in very slowly pulls away. And if I am on the ball I keep up, just. Is this what one would expect? I ask because I am always surprised how well my car keeps up.... Please tell me what you think
  21. He lost the will to win, and stayed at BAR ONLY because it was well paid...he is a loser with a big mouth, remember what he said about Jenson? But who is always in front
  22. Thanks again all, but the trouble is the PC wont accept any cookies.....no matter what I do. I am not a complete fool, I hope, but this has me stumped. I could reload windows but I would like to fix it.. somehow
