Can you tell if it's had a car kit fitted for a mobile ? as sounds like there might have been one fitted with the mute function and the wiring could have been cut without care to remove it.

I'm looking for a grey front arm rest top for a 1996 MK3 LS400.

Just wondering if anyone has used them as I'm thinking ordering of some parts from them. http://www.yestoyota.co.uk/index.php

I might be wrong (usually are) but don't the later ones have LED rear lights, so would the connectors be different

I'm looking for a really cheap 740 Estate for a future project, can have a duff engine or box as they will be thrown away.

I love my LS but I do have a couple of things I wish they had added. 1 A self dipping N/S mirror when reverse is selected. 2 Heavier duty front suspension. Plus another few minor things that are most people would think I'm being picky, but it's the best car I have owned for years.

He was only there to drive the FXX.

I would love to have been at this but we're racing at Santa Pod that weekend

Cheers TigerFish I had pulled the top clips out already but didnt see the clips at the bottom of it, all sorted now thanks again

I hope someone can help me with this one!!, on my 400 none of the cigarette lighters will stay locked down front or rear, so I tried my phone charger in all of them and it works, so not the fuse but checked the fuses anyway and and all is fine, so I cant work out why the actual lighters wont stay down by their selves because if you keep your finger on them they get hot. Any ideas

This site has lost all the fun out of it and some mods/people are letting their status get above them, I used to really enjoy coming on here and looking around and posting, but the last few months since we had a change with mod's etc and I'm finding the site more unwelcoming with deleted posts and banning members for nothing at all with Wozza being singled out I feel and when my gold membership is up for renewal I don't think I'll bother, shame as when I joined it was a fun site.

Is it me or is this site losing all the fun out of it, I used to really enjoy coming on here and looking around and posting, but the last few months since we had a change with mod's etc and I'm finding the site more unwelcoming with deleted posts and banning members for nothing at all really and I think when my gold membership is up for renewal I don't think I'll bother, shame as when I joined it was a fun site.

Sorry for the lack of good pic's as it was just so busy with cars & people walking around you just couldn't get good pic's, but here is what i got when i first arrived and it was sort of quite.

It's Hot Rod night tonight @ the Ace Cafe, should be a good turn out due to the weather.

Cheers inicol63 it can be expensive at times but really as far as motorsport costs go it's not to bad, but in saying that we are trying to find some sponsors at the moment so fingers crossed

This weekend we were at the Main Event at Santa Pod, and what a mad rush to pull this off in more ways than one, we have just had the Truck & Trailer plus the car wrapped which was tight time wise as we had to pick them up on the way to Santa Pod on Thursday night but as you can see they look fantastic. You will all have read about our major engine failure a couple of weeks back, well this still haunted us this weekend, we had to complete 1 run Saturday, 1 run Sunday and both of your times were added together and that dictated as to which round you were in on Monday. So as I said problems from the engine breakage hit us this weekend as on Saturday we went to run the engine up to fine tune it (as we can only do this at track side as it's to noisy anywhere else) and had no oil pressure, undone the oil feed lines and no oil coming out the oil pump is mechanical so was striped down but all was fine, but listening to the pump whilst turn it over you could hear the it cavitating so with that we took all the oil feed pipes off and pressure tested them only to find that during the fire after the engine exploded the heat had melted the inner rubber tubing and we had a small hole under the steel braiding in the oil main feed pipe so was drawing in air, so while all this was going on we missed our slot so no racing on Saturday which put us on the back foot right away. We all came to the conclusion that as this wasn't a points weekend for us just an exhibition class and we couldn't now get in to the final and could only get 3rd or 4th place as we only had 1 run out of the 2 needed we would use this as a test session for the new engine and not to push it just in case, which is just what we did. Saturday no run Sunday 6.53 @ 200mph Monday 6.75 @ 191mph (went out of shape as the tyres spun up at the eighth mile point so had to come off the throttle and hit it again) but it shows us the engine is perfect and that we are getting over the clutch issues as we had the strongest launches so far, so we had to settle for 3rd place but that's the way it goes and we are still in good shape for the next points round in 2 and a half weeks.

You are definitely not alone, absolute F***ing S**t and a right load of B***ocks :P

You fraternize with the enemy as well then

Here is a better look at the engine :doublesho Cylinder 1 & 2 Broken liners :doublesho Busted con rod New block in place this morning Pistons going in lunch time Engine built up this afternoon, just the blower to go on, clutch and gearbox then ready to travel then we finish it at the track.

No this one was from our old car, so about just over a year old and had seen a few runs with no major prob's, the one we are putting in now is brand spanking new so we hope this one lasts as long as the old one did. Here are some pics of the car in action the day before. http://peterdonaldson5305.fotopic.net/p58041814.html

You wont be able to miss us as the truck will be the same paint job as the car!!!!, definitely pop your head in and say hello

As some of you will know going by some of my previous posts, I crew on a Nitro dragster. Well this weekend we were racing at Shakespeare county raceway got there and set up on Friday, car fully checked out and set up for a test run Saturday. Completed the test run Saturday car had a good burn out and launch, car back to the pits oil, plug change, pressure leak down test, refuel and a thorougher check over,all good. Sunday race day, car run up in the pits to check fuel pressure and general running, temps, oil pressure etc, all good so ready to race. First race of the day burn out done, in to stage lights go green Tony hits the throttle and it was off, so far so good, hit the air shift for second gear, shifts OK but the clutch let go and disintegrated, engine over rev's to nearly 11000 rpm then BANG, blows the supercharger off the inlet manifold snaps the supercharger belt so now starts over fueling, hydraulics with Nitro fuel and blows the bottom end out, snaps the crank, breaks 8 rods, smashes the block to bits, and damages various other parts front covers, blower restraints, fire to computer wiring and body work etc. The rough cost £10 / £12 grand OUCH !!!! We have two weeks to get it ready for the race on the 22nd of May at Santa Pod, god help us :D

But aren't the Alfa and Accord more of a Mondeo size car. Take it from me you wont get a cheaper car than an LS to run over the year.
