Looked like a fun day was had. Would love an exige as a track toy.

As has been said it depends on your budget. Out of the 3 you suggested I'd go with the Cayman. However, I'd be more tempted with http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/2196166.htm or for something along the same lines with a twist: http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/2298509.htm

I think its a great idea. It makes it much nicer to browse when time is limited and makes searching for a particular topic/ discussion far easier. It's that or start getting strict on thread titles and and actually making them relate to the topic.

Do you have a laptop or smart phone? If so I bought one of these; http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... 051wt_1128 Haven't had a chance to play with it fully but it successfully displayed my fault codes and reset them. Also displays certain information such as speed, intake temp, coolant temp etc.... As I said I haven't had a proper play with stuff like logging the information yet but seems to work OK so far. Can be used with the supplied software or downloaded software. On my HTC the TORQUE app also works well.

Just sat and read this whole thread and enjoyed it very much. I'm sure 99% of us wish we had the time, money and talent to do this but reading this thread is a close as we get, so keep it up. I can't see any of the vids at the moment ( at work) so am looking forward to revisiting the thread next week when I get home. Thanks for taking the time to document your progress.

Happy New Year to all!

Welcome.

Yeah that's the stuff. However what you describe sound more electrical/sensor related. Won't do any harm putting some through though. I'd do as Zugara suggests and check out your Maf connections, throttle body etc... Is it actually running rough or is it just this delayed 'jolt ' that concerns you? Could it be described as a 'sticky throttle' ? Might be worth having a read through this viewtopic.php?f=10&t=10781&hilit=throttle as there seems to be a few people experiencing that.

When you said pinking earlier I thought you were referring to a noise you heard rather than it running rough, hence the clicky axle suggestion. I've not heard of an engine pinking on deceleration before - usually on acceleration. Do you hear a 'pinking' noise? Or is it just running rough? If it's running rough keep using the good quality fuel reset the ecu and give it a good service. Maybe run a fuel system cleaner through it. (STP total fuel system cleaner is the only one I've found to work) How many miles has it done? Have the plugs been changed?

I hope you don't mind me posting this from the Supra club, but the more people on the lookout the better. Very distinctive Supra. If anyone thinks they've seen it or hears anything about it, please PM me and I will pass on the info. Thanks. Original post; "Carl S was car jacked on Thursday night (16th dec) One of our members had his very distinctive black Veilside Supra stolen on Thursday night -16th December. Carl's Supra details: Reg: K66 PVP Colour: Black Kit: Full Veilside, including overfenders Wheels: Veilside Deep Dish with 335s on the rear (Pirellis) Greddy Exhaust Twin Hybrids and twin Walbro pumps Tom's Racing E.C.U. Odo: Under 100,000 kms His rear lights are blacked out too and he has one of those grill type surrounds around his rear numberplate. The stealing of the Black Veilside: Thursday 16th December 2010: Watford and Bounds Green Road in London N11: 9-9.30pm The buyer phoned up and met Carl near his home in Watford. So far, so good. The buyer asked about whether the car had a Tracker fitted (Carl thought this was a bit bit fishy, but let it go; even though in principle it's a fair question, but in hindsight perhaps it shouldn't be one of the first questions a stranger asks you.) The guy persuaded Carl to head toward London down the M1. When they got to Bounds Green Road, London N11, I believe the guy changed places with him and then just hooned off down the road. Carl phones the Police who arrive, take details and give him a lift back to Watford. Carl phones me. I tell you. To conclude: Some of you may have seen his car round Watford way, or perhaps met him etc at Reading and several times at Lui's Ace Cafe meets. So everyone, please keep your eyes open, it's very distinctive. I've said it before but it looks like a stealthy Klingon War Vessel. Needless to say poor Carl is gutted...but even as the bloke drove off at high speed, he had time to think "... Damn! That looks and sounds f*cking amazing!" ...And then it dawned on him... Obviously it may get found, burnt out, trashed, or it may get broken down into sellable pieces, still, please do let me know via PM if you see or hear of anything. All info will be passed on to Carl to give to the police, who have been very helpful , he tells me. I really want to keep this thread open, and I'd prefer to keep it a helpful one rather than a judgemental or negative one. The deed is done, but maybe you can help? It's not right or proper that someone steals your car. He just wants it back. Thanks everybody Lbm"

For the Airbag lights - check all the wiring and connections around and under the seats give um a wiggle and perform the airbag reset proceedure in the guides section. viewtopic.php?f=35&t=3279 Pinking ? If your getting it when your letting off as well as accelerating could it be the 'clicking rear Axle' ? Lots of threads about that. Have a look.

Welcome. FI 350z = WIN

Hello and welcome. I'm an ex TT6 Supra owner and a member of the club. It's a lot quieter than the Supra club but just as helpful and welcoming.

The missus got me a Club MSV voucher for a Track day. They seem to have a good rep and a few on here have recommended them. I'm thinking of booking Bedford Autodrome sometime in the new year. Meant to be a pretty good track with loads of run off, not much to hit and a pretty good surface so not bad on stones. http://www.clubmsv.com/car-home.aspx If you fancied it and dates suited, maybe we could go on the same day. Be good to have a burn around with someone else too.

Welcome And Merry Christmas.

Welcome to the club. Very looking motor you have there. Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas guys and girls. I'll be spending mine on the rig half way between Shetland and Norway . The rig satellite is knackered so no TV or radio for any atmosphere. We will be having a big old Turkey roast for lunch though. Hope everyone has a great day.

There are approximately two billion children, (persons under 18), in the world. However, since Santa does not visit children of Muslim, Hindu, Jewish or Buddhist, (except maybe in Japan), religions, this reduces the workload for Christmas night to 150f the total or 378 million (according to the Population Reference Bureau). At an average (census) rate of 3.5 children per household, that comes to 108 million homes, presuming there is at least one good child in each...... Santa has about 31 hours of Christmas to work with, thanks to the different time zones and the rotation of the earth, assuming he travels east to west (which seems logical). This works out to 967.7 visits per second. This is to say that for each Christian household with a good child, Santa has round 1/1000th of a second to park the sleigh, hop out, jump down the chimney, fill the stockings, distribute the remaining presents under the tree, eat whatever snacks have been left for him, get back up the chimney, jump into the sleigh and get on to the next house..... Assuming that each of these 108 million stops is evenly distributed around the earth, (which of course we know to be false, but will accept for the purposes of our calculations), we are now talking about 0.78 miles per household; a total trip of 75.5 million miles, not counting bathroom stops or breaks. This means Santa's sleigh is moving at 650 miles per second - 3000 times the speed of sound. For purposes of comparison, the fastest man-made vehicle, the Ulysses space probe, moves at a poky 27.4 miles per second, and a conventional reindeer can run, (at best), 15 miles per hour.... The payload of the sleigh adds another interesting element. Assuming that each child gets nothing more than a medium size Lego set, (two pounds weight), the sleigh is carrying over 500 thousand tons, not counting Santa himself. On land, a conventional reindeer can pull no more than 300 pounds. Even granting that the "flying" reindeer could pull ten times the normal amount, the job can't be done with eight or even nine of them - Santa would need 360,000 of them. This increases the payload, not counting the weight of the sleigh, another 54,000 tons, or roughly seven times the weight of the Queen Elizabeth (the ship, not the monarch)... 600,000 tons travelling at 650 miles per second creates enormous air resistance - this would heat up the reindeer in the same fashion as a spacecraft re-entering the earths atmosphere. The lead reindeer would absorb 14.3 quintillion joules of energy per second each. In short, they would burst into flames almost instantaneously, exposing the reindeer behind them and creating deafening sonic booms in their wake. The entire reindeer team would be vaporized within 4.26 thousandths of a second, or right about the time Santa reached the fifth house on his trip...... Not that it matters however, since Santa, as a result of accelerating from dead stop to 650 miles per second in 0.001 seconds, would be subjected to acceleration forces of 17,500 g's. A 250 pound Santa, (which seems ludicrously slim), would be pinned to the back of the sleigh by 4,315,015 pounds of force, instantly crushing his bones and organs and reducing him to a quivering blob of pink goo..... In conclusion therefore, if Santa did exist, he's dead now. Merry Christmas........

Holy resurrection batman! You maybe a bit late on this one.
