Nice little switch....

by jimxms, 20-05-2019, 09:55 AM

I'm after some ideas....

I need a switch that will look right at home in place of the drivers side coin slot (next to fog switch).

It needs to be a normal on/off toggle style switch rather than a momentary one.

Looking to keep it as OEM looking as possible. Anyone done anything similar for whatever reason?

Tips on posting

by Lexusboy, 20-05-2019, 05:00 AM

What to do when posting.

When posting if you want to target the largest amount of viewing in your thread then the best thing to do is think carefully to what your target market is.

Most important part of the post is the title, so give this some thought.

For instance name the car via model and brand, Use key works that will be easily found.

Ask yourself how would I look for the item if I was looking in Google or other search engines.

At the bottom off the thread it has a tag box add key words to your thread into the box followed by comma after each key word the forum allows a maximum of 25 words,

The rest is down to the search engines to do there bit

This is only here to help and not teach anyone how to suck eggs

Good luck on reaching your target audience

New engine rebuild site

by pulsar_stu, 19-05-2019, 08:21 PM

Hey all.

Forums on a whole have been dying off slowley and i guess a new forum is a bit pointless!

But....

I thought it might be worth while starting another site :blink:

Its an engine rebuild site,

i thought because when you start on the modding road, everyone thinks about or starts a rebuild, but i have never seen a forum/site dedicated to engine rebuilds.

So thought i would make one and see how it goes.

CLICKY >>> T-E-R-F <<< CLICKY

any thoughts or input would be greatly recieved from you guys!

Sorry if plugging isnt allowed on here. I did have a look around before i posted, but couldnt find anything or a place to put new sites...

Business Ideas

by Carpediem, 19-05-2019, 05:24 PM

Right guys, im trying to figure out what I could do as a business thats easy to setup and your average joe could do, you know so i can be my own boss, make a decent wage, and work a little less if i wanted

My first Idea was a hand carwash, i know most towns are rammed with immigrant ones, but i could charge a fiver for a rinse/foam/rinse/scrub/rinse/squeege, and would only need to do 20 cars a day to make £100,

Thats my only idea so far, so theother bit of my question is

What is your area missing? What do you hate having to do yourself and travel to get?

All ideas welcome

Insurance advice needed...

by Stoney, 19-05-2019, 09:51 AM

Hi

I have a slightly complex insurance situation, and am at a loss as what to do about it! I am getting an IS in a week or so, and it (obviously!) needs insuring.

I currently have a fully comp policy on my Land Rover, with 1 year NCB. In three months I should have 2 years NCB. At this point I will sell the truck. (Regrettably, but it costs fortune to fuel and maintain and would be my 3rd car.) My other car is insured in my girlfriend's name, with me named driver. She should pass her test soon, and then and the car is being kept for her, plus as my runabout.

I don't really want to transfer my Land Rover Policy to the Lexus, even though it is currently immobile awaiting repair, as would have to SORN it. It also needs MOT, so I need tax and insurance to sort that out. I am hoping to get some more use out it before it has to go, but even selling it would be extra hassle with no MOT/Tax/Insurance.

I believe I cannot use my NCB on more than one car at a time? Would I be wise to insure the Lexus for now with 0 NCB and then cancel that and go for a new policy when I can use my NCB in 3 months? Might there be nasty financial penalties for cancelling after 3 months? Whether I do it monthly or annually? Does anybody offer a 3 month policy by any chance?

My question to anybody know knows about these things..... WHAT WOULD YOU DO?

A Witches life with Supras

by purplewitch, 19-05-2019, 08:13 AM

[COLOR="DarkOrchid"]Had my first Supra a very, very, very long time, an old Mkiii, which I bought because it looked like Knightriders KITT! It was mechanically a wreck, it used more oil than fuel and you had to hold the steering wheel tight as there was no stop at the rear of the rails the seats were on so you frequently found yourself in the back. Despite an every ten mile stop for oil topups, I loved this car and it served me well for a while .. but I am fascinated by pop up headlights .. and well, I broke them. Apparently they don't like popping up and down for no reason for hours and hours and hours. The repair bill would have been more than my life was worth so she went to Supra Heaven.

I was banned from buying another by the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Supras but one night, slightly drunk, 4am, on ebay.. I found this:[/COLOR]


[COLOR="DarkOrchid"]The advert said it made the best noise you have ever heard and I pressed BID. It was very popular, even at that time of the morning and I had to work a bit to win it.. and then I had that 'OMG I bought a Supra' moment lol

She's a 1994 Import NA with the only mods being the stainless steel straight through exhaust, decatted and huge 19' wheels on ultra low profiles. The paint was a bit faded, the wheels had seen better days, the interior was ... well 1994 but the noise .. OMG to die for. She was set up for track and absolutely rock solid, your back really knew every bit of grit you went over. 19's aren't a great idea on a supra, even an NA and she was certainly lively and feisty and wild but the noise she made got into your soul. (Toxo hasn't got a soul lol cos he thinks she drones, but everyone else who has driven her and heard her has fallen in love, even Jim who has to surgically bended enough to get in and out of her lol)

I thought I would keep her six months and if I still liked supras, then I would swap her for a Twin Turbo. I called her Suki, got her wheels fixed and got through miles and tyres like a tornado. [/COLOR]

Can i pull up a chair ?

by uncle bob, 18-05-2019, 06:15 PM

Hello guys I'm Bob from Kent, I've been a Toyota enthusiast since 1993 when i purchased a 2.8 Celica-Supra, since then I've had many of the sports models and loads of the saloons.
I purchased my first Lexus IS200 around 2004 and found the big club that covers all the Lexus models. had some good banter in the IS section but as in life things change and the Lexus was gone and replaced with a 2004 3 door Rav4.
Well another 5 years on and i started to look again at the IS , at first the 200 but then concentrated my search on a 300. i wanted full leather and also the orginal 5 spoke wheels, so didn't want a LE.
I did take a look on the big club again for advice but all seemed very quite .
I'm now the pride owner of a Platinum Ice IS300, full history and 53K on the clock , I'm a bit of a classic man at heart so like my car orginal... hope I've come to the right place
Maybe I'll catch up with a few old faces from the past and hopefully meet a few new ones :biggrin:
