She always has been a minger

Incidentally, that Supra off F&F is now owned by a bloke in Lincoln - he only paid 20k for it including the import charges ! Apparently he uses it as his daily runner !

how do you steer that thing

Its got a Sparco steering wheel quick release boss ! :P

Stuff em, I have always done my own electrical, plumbing and building work. I know of alot of tradesmen who do shabby jobs. Its just an excuse by the government to pressure the JIB into realising there is a skills gap. If people follow this law, there will be a massive shortage of sparkies, whcih means more training, which means more people in college, which means more people off the dole and out of the unemployment stats, which means less money to pay out by the goverment on social security.

Its all a big scam.

I will continue to do my own work in my own home, as is my right. Not to save money, but so I know the job is done right !

Ive seen some things in my life, ive been to some strange places, ive been asked to do plenty of strange things in my time, and Ive seen plenty of strange things happen, but this has just gotta be in the top 10:

This is a real job for us to do, a major decal job, all over body-wrap with plenty of colourful motorsport type logos. I thought he was joking !

Suggestions on a postcard to............

Has anyone ever seen any cars with colour-coded drive belts? I want some if there is such a thing?

I wonder if the material they are made from would take a dye??

Nice blue ones to match the samco and anodised stuff would finish it off me thinks.

ive got some  :D

in red though !!!

where abouts are you going to mount the catch tank, its a bit tight in there  :o

I aint got a clue yet :duh:

Not only is my V5 wrong, but im starting to wonder whether my car is what its supposed to be.

During my service yesterday it was found that my Diff is not a LSD !

I thought that the Sport had an LSD as standard fit !

I need to know more before i take this further.

Ive got the same trouble, especialluy now Im running a wider profile tyre and the roads are damp and dirty.

I go around the same roundabout every morning and every night, and Im learning quickly how to power slide !

Give it another couple of weeks I will be happily drifting..........

Its scary though when you dont expect it. pooh kaka indeed, need new air freshener.

now yuor tkanig the psis :D

I just want to make enough money doing the Catalyst Handling and Mechanical Engineering and Grafix and Polishing t obe able to find someone to take my place so I can sit back, and just enjoy life without any worries or day to day stress.

I think if I could have my time again, I would have stayed in the Army. It was always my first choice.

Apprantly, I am a Slam-Dancing foot worshipper who loves to punish Ed Kotch

Who the flip is Ed Kotch.

Has anyone had one of these fitted yet? what is the fit like? They dont look bad actually but need to know more.

Looking at them, they have good long Primary's for torque balance and the pattern is good for peak power.

Need to know several things:

1. Internal bore - is it matched or greater to the exhaust port for diameter

2. material grade.

Im in need of a vehicle outline for an IS200/IS300 or Tezza. Im not bothered which format or which scale. Does anyone have such a thing.

The vehicle outline will be used to design a bespoke graphics set for the car. Unfortunately, there isnt one available from my supplier.

Anyone that can supply me with a quality wire frame scale image will get some free vinyl done.

I need to get moving with the project and cant until we get the outline.

Thanks

Everybody has seen the warning signs for the risks of nitrogen. Nitrogen is dangerous because it actively pushes away the oxygen in the surrounding air. But what actually happens if you do not get enough oxygen? In order to understand this, it is important to know a little about the human breathing system.

How does our breathing system work?

Humans need oxygen in order to be able to live. Our body uses oxygen to supply energy to our organs. The oxygen is burning sugars in the body cells, supplying energy to our body. The waste product of this energy burning process is Carbon Dioxide.

In order to get Oxygen into our bodies we inhale fresh air. Fresh air contains on average, 21% of oxygen. Inside the lungs, the oxygen is connected to the blood using the red blood cells. At the same time, the Carbon Dioxide from the blood is released to the lungs. When we exhale we blow this Carbon Dioxide out of our bodies. Inside the body we produce as much Carbon Dioxide as we use Oxygen. If we start working harder, we need more energy; therefore we start burning more sugar. This causes the frequency of our breathing to increase, for we do also need more Oxygen for this process. The result of this is more Carbon Dioxide. The fact that 79% of the air we use is typically Nitrogen is not important It solves a little in our blood, but it is not connected to the blood cells.

The frequency of our breathing is automatically controlled in a part of our brain, which we can call the Breathing Centre. If you think this breathing centre is triggered by the amount of oxygen in the blood, you are wrong! The breathing centre responds to the amount of carbon dioxide present. The more carbon dioxide that is detected by the brain, the faster we start breathing. This process always works well because we produce the same amount of carbon dioxide as we do use oxygen. This way, we never get a shortage of oxygen. This process never fails, even when we are asleep, or inside a sealed conference room with a lot of other people, which would cause the carbon dioxide levels in the room to increase rapidly and the oxygen levels to decrease. Our bodies would respond to this by breathing faster in order to get more oxygen into the lungs. Getting the feeling that you are short of breath is a signal that will finally cause us to leave the room if the carbon dioxide levels continue to rise.

When we inhale Nitrogen, why do we die so quickly?

Humans are the most resilient species on the face of the earth. We can exist in the most diverse of circumstances and environments. That is until we are confronted with circumstances not foreseen by nature itself; an environment that contains a lot of nitrogen. What is so different? Suppose we inhale air with only 10% of oxygen, no carbon dioxide and 90% nitrogen. We inhale normally and use the oxygen for our energy production. Because there is insufficient oxygen in this air, we shall suffer a shortage of energy because of the lack of carbon dioxide. Therefore the brain is not stimulated to increase the frequency of our breathing. In fact, the brain is stimulated to decrease the frequency of our breathing because the amount of carbon dioxide in our blood is reduced. Because of the acute need for oxygen, the energy supply to the cells will stop, which in basic terms, means “lights-out” The brain is extremely sensitive to this power failure and will not be able to maintain consciousness.

Being unconscious, your breathing will be very slow. If the oxygen level falls below 6%, this will take please after just ONE BREATH of air. You will quite literally faint after inhaling and will no longer to be able to breathe by yourself. After about 2 to 4 minutes, you will die. Within this time, only mouth-to-mouth resuscitation could save your life. The exhaled air of the rescue worker contains a lot of carbon dioxide that should stimulate the brain to start breathing again.

Nitrogen is the most dangerous gas that we know. Even the most toxic of gases will give at least a small warning to the body. Nitrogen does not. Because of this lack of warning we cannot protect ourselves from it. A few lucky survivors (resuscitated) of nitrogen accidents in the industry have all declared that they never knew what hit them when they were exposed to high concentrations of nitrogen.

So how can I protect myself from high concentrations of nitrogen?

Take a gas sample. Calibrated equipment that is being operated by trained personnel can determine if it is safe in a certain area or confined space.

Always use breathing air (cylinders) in nitrogen rich environments. Canister masks will give absolutely no protection from oxygen deficiency.

Stay away from nitrogen leaks, manholes and other openings of vessels and towers.

Never use nitrogen hoses to blow something dry or clean unless you are using BA.

Never check a confined space by holding your breath for a second and putting your head in. The penalty for this is death, for even the smallest mistake.

If you purge a system with nitrogen make sure that all warning signs, warning tapes etc are in place so that everyone in the area is made aware of the hazards. Only then you may start your work.

Never, on no account, must you ignore a warning sign or fence.

Never try to rescue a victim of nitrogen with using BA yourself. A rescue without BA will result in double the amount of deaths.

Always be aware of the hazards of nitrogen.

HOPE THIS CLEARS THINGS UP A LITTLE

I will give it a go. Thanks guys.

Such simple things in life that give us headaches eh !

I wouldnt bother if I were you. It costs a fortune. Plus, you will probably not find anyone you would want to do it for you, not pure N2 anyway. Its lethal.

We work in Nitrogen Enriched atmospheres. It disperses any oxygen, and is actually very very toxic. If you breathe any in - just one breath - and you die. simple.

Car tyres are designed to be filled with normal air, F1 tyres are a bit different to standard road tyres.

Cheers dude, where is he based?

←

Barnetby, near Brigg, near Scunthorpe North Lincolnshire, just off the M180

I have the Dastek Unichip, fitted and mapped on the rolling road by Dennis Vessey at Brigg 01652 688904. I always go to him now, hes a good bloke and knows his stuff.

But they are also used to identify accident blackspots and alert the driver to be more carefull.

Im convinced they make a major contribution to road safety ;)

is this donny south? as the last one was poooo.

But i will be going anyways

←

No, its the Donny up north, Doncaster Race Course. I heard the Donny South one was poo aswell. I know the one up here is a big one.

Anyone planning on going to Donny next year, the dates are 9th & 10th of April 2005, at Doncaster Racecourse. I will be there as a trader.

Is there a planned meet for this one, its a big one - possibly as big if not bigger than JAE.
