Not enough evidence???
How do you justify kicking a handcuffed man lying on the floor as reasonable force? EVEN if he was struggling he aint going anywhere is he! And then to smash his head on the van door! Don't disagree that the guy is a twat for vandalising a bus stop, but the police are NOT ther to hand out punishments.

Not enough evidence???
"A police officer allegedly captured on CCTV cameras kicking a handcuffed black man in Greater Manchester will not face criminal charges. " http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/manchester/4131798.stm Saw the video to this last night on the news and I couldn't beleive what I was hearing. The police officer can clearly be seen on the CCTV footgae kicking this guy who is pinned down on the floor by two other officers 3-4 times. He even has the awareness to stop kicking when somebody walks past! What a fcuking joke! :mad:

What should i do????
this just proves my point that all the crap about buying from trusted traders and you get better aftercare and warranties and all that is bullshit. its a pity im the only one who has the balls to say anything on here :mad: not having a go at ALL traders here so dont go off on one. Alex i hope you get it sorted bud, don't put up with it. A real store wouldnt get away with it so why should the trader :xxx: If you wanna buy stuff go buy it yourself from the states, save yourselves a packet and cut out the middle man. Simple as :cool:

I am absolutely shattered
Spent 3 whole days working on the car and i know i WILL have a bloody good nights sleep tonight. Stripped the front of the engine as far back as under the timing belt covers. Found the cause of my water leak (see pic). Fitted adjustable tension rods, front upper arms and front ARB. Fitted front and rear coilovers and spent hours messing about with them to get them set up. Got halfway through fitting hicas eliminator and realised i dont have spanner big enough for the tie rods :rolleyes: Still got loads to do! Im now just so physically and mentally drained from all the work, in between running in and out the house to check torque settings lol A few pics...

Height from floor to wheel arch
the thing is the overall length is alot shorter and the springs are alot stiffer so you just have to guess the first time round, now i know exactly how much to wind them back in so will be sorted tomorrow

Height from floor to wheel arch
yep, i forgot to check before i removed stock set, finished fitting front suspension parts today and i think i overcompensated on the front coilovers. she sits about an inch higher than before lol

Differences between SWB LWB?
just to add all 2+2 (lwb) are targa top, swb can be targa-top, hard-top, or soft-top all variations can be non turbo or twin turbo except the soft top which is non turbo only tell tale sign for a swb is fuel filler cap is in front of rear passenger side wheel as opposed to behind like on the 2+2

Feckin gutted!
FFS i know EXACTLY how you feel mate, remember when i told you why i decided not to spend money on a kit. I don't know if you'll be able to do this but I know a couple of guys on the supra forum have had their cars repaired by a supermarket after they were damaged in the car park. The signs that say you leave things at your own risk etc aint worth shit

Trolley jack recommendations!
just buy a big strong one that'll give you enough room for your stands and drive the car onto bricks before lifting, simple
