  1. Google search reveals: DB Fletcher tables fetch between $25,000 and $50,000. and are made in the UK they are more than happy to ship a Capstan Table anywhere in the world. With each shipment, a DB Fletcher technician will arrive on site to assemble the table and make sure it is in proper working order.
  2. sounded great to me :bananapopcorn: looks like he was doing it for the camera............ such an obliging chap !! London is full of young Arabs in supercars and to hear them revving the nuts out of them is quite common however I can understand that some people might get annoyed with it If some little chav sat there revving up his corsa, most people here would give a similar reaction
  3. I remember you had one before he tells me no
  4. bit of a de-ja-vu moment I must admit to liking them, very stealth with a decent amount of power my son also has one
  5. get yourself a bit of hose and a glass jam jar, tried and tested method cheap and effective, only downside is you need a second person to push the brake pedal once opened and exposed to air it starts absorbing water, even in a half full sealed tin ! so use and throw is the best policy
  6. would love to have popped up again but I have been told we are on babysitting duty
  7. that's quite a transformation who's car is it
  8. oil will be fine if only at idle it sounds very much a pressure problem, possibly and hopefully just the switch

    Moment of Inertia

    I would say the car has not been built to carry the power its running
  10. I think the point has been missed spend £40000 on a wreck spend £10000 restoring it (guesswork) and you end up with a £50000 car see its simple maths really you then try and sell it for £8000
  11. good show strange how they just drive off when the police arrive !
  12. We are out here at the moment Day of watching the VLN today Last weekend being Easter was very busy, lots of inexperienced drivers and showing off to the crowds !! This weekend is nice and quiet and the nordshliefe gets the bonus of being extended around the GP track
  13. on the Starlet I found that by uprating the front alone it produced more understeer when matching the rear to the front it reduced it, but didnt overcome it by then reducing the front to below oem size and ratings it produced a neutral handling with no dramatic over or understeer by experimenting you find things out, that on paper shouldnt work !
  14. I do think they should maybe educate the average pedestrian seems the onus is as usual on the motorists, do they actually teach kids "road safety" nowadays or is it "how to claim compensation" I have watched mothers herding kids across roads when there is a crossing 20 yards away, and so many times people oblivious to the fact they are on a road
  15. they sorted it and then piled it up, ready for recycling ! if you check out google earth you can see it in certain areas for interest: in Tokyo the buildings were not particularly affected, being quite a distance from the epicentre, but anything that wasn't built on firm foundations sunk around 6 inches, the streets and pavements are full of strips of tarmac allowing the different levels to be levelled out pics taken by a friend in Jan 2012 in all these pictures the surfaces used to be flat ! Brits !!....well how long did it take us to sort the roads after the snow and ice of 2010/2011, oh thats right we still haven't finished
  16. this used to happen on the Lexus, so may be a Toyota thing try holding the nozzle at a 45 degree angle or experiment with angles until you find one that allows it to stop cutting out
  17. 5 stud the spare I have is from an Evo, was being chucked as the Evo was to become a track car it is 4wd but can be switched to 2wd
  18. I think you need to be careful on this, a friend had rear tyres changed on his Merc, they fitted slightly different sizes on the rear axle, diff thought there were problems with the rotational speed so the ECU went into limp mode. Took him ages to work out what the problem was! Don't know if Lexus has the same sort of thing. h this is only for the spare in case of emergency, it limits driving speed to 50mph, but I believe its better than being stuck on the side of the road, especially if I have the trailer on the back Its on a Mitsubishi ASX strangely in Europe they dont come with a spare, yet in other countries they get a space saver or in some a full sized spare ! Mitsubishi want £168 for a space saver ! seems to me another way of cutting costs, they throw all the attractive goodies in but leave a basic emergency item out cool, saves paying a fortune for another one and I can have piece of mind
  19. for a 215/60/17 tyre what would be the suitable temporary tyre size ? would a 125/70/16 be suitable as i have one of those spare I dont like the idea of a can of squirty stuff, it will never fill up if there is a considerable hole and as far as i know they require the tyre to be repled after use
  20. Probably needs them too. How much do those things weigh?? about 2800 kg ! powerful though 0-60 around 5 secs
