oh mk1 gs300 sport

I send R lass to the supermarket on the bus, leaving the lex parked on the drive, problem solved :):)

no dings :)

she can struggle with the shopping i can wash the car

Steve

clean car :):)

I have to agree with Mat,

get em to do a sniff test on it u needs to know if the hg has blown again

if they didnt flush the oil after the first hg prob that crap will still be there, stick a new thermo and rad cap in, when they did the hg did they skim the head ?

the gurgling behind the dash ( is this on start up or sort of all the time?) start up is air lock ,

Im taking this problem to the supras owners club if its one thing supra drivers know about its BHG's beleive me we have fixed a few . mk3 (7mgte used to blow em regulary)

Steve

old supra driver :)

just got to wait now for it setting up and the likkle gold status icon :)

Steve

signed up for gold a few hours ago , as i felt pressurised by Raz's dual post :)

tesco were a tad more exp than that for me by a few hundred quid, so im going to have a look at the post office insurance as i work for the PO might get a staff discount :)

churchill FC 560 TPFT 341

direct line FC 539 tpft 399

Steve

just got one quote from one place at the mo,

more important stuff now, dads just been given me my insurance renewal letter 500 tpft for the gs i think im going to be ringing round for insurance before tyres :)

just had my rear passenger tire go flat on me, bit dissapointed as its only 2 months old. any whoo, the choice for tires out there is staggering, so im throwing myself to you knowledge (i must be mad). i can get these for this

conti sports £174.00

nankangs £115 (dont laugh i got 2 of these on the rear, they were free)

pirelli p0 £186

dunlop £165

what do u lot recomend for a mk1 sport? what was oem tyres and are they crap?.

got nankangs on rear and very warn p0 at front

going to get 4 when i get my wheels re machined later

Steve

Erm ,

Ryo short for Ryoken my favorite mech in the mechwarrior 3 game, sorta stuck with me through all these years.

steve

speaking of keys i just got one key aswell, mine is a plain black one with a gold L on it, opens everything is it a master key?. i got told ur looking at 100 ish quid for an alarm fob for a mk1 40 for fob and 40 for them to have it all day to programm it as for a new key ive no idea

u can et replacement aerial masts from lexus dealers for about 27£, if the rest of the elec aerial is allright

fitting is easy

:)

think it goes like this,,

undo the nut ontop of aerial, turn radio on, it will push the old aerial out, leave radio on and insert the new mast in , i think the teeth face foreward, on the cord, turn radio off it will retract the aerial into car, tighten nut, i did mine with my 8 year old daughter so its not hard (5 mins max)

any way enjoy your new car :)

Steve

a large breasted blond in a chaufeurs uniform with thigh legnth boots,,

allright ive been at work, been a long night

indicators that worked all the time , self maintaining, self cleaning , AND self fuel filling upy that will just do me , im not greedy

Steve

to be honest its quite easy to change all 6, didnt take too long , i wouldnt bother takign it to lexus to change could be quite expensive. id follow the instructions on the web page i sent you, take our time if u prefer, and u will be allright

but ive had more practice on a 7mgte (supra engine)

1996 with 108K ish

YUK

u just dont do it on one of them

wire got stripped when steering wheel retracts

sorted now :)

33£ lighter but happy :)

there you go, for removal of the plugs on the gs300

http://www.mkiv.com/techarticles/spark_plugs/na/index.html

same engine dont worry, hardest job is getting the lower coolant pipe of the throttle body, and heres a tip i found out after, drain a bit of coolant off, other wise the moment u remove the coolant pipes the top of the engine gets covered in coolant :)i did mine found a misfire turned out when id put the new plugs in, stuck the pipes back on some coolant spilt onto the plugs and ht leads(i didnt know) so had to take it all off again and ruining a 3£ throttle body gasket :(

hope this helps

Steve

Imi, went to that fellas today , found fault hopefully, to a wire that was bare in steering console, said fuse blew for hazzards when ignition was off, and steering wheel was retracting,(went through 6x20 amp fuses and 2x10 amp) fixed that but needed a new indicator relay, bought one of them for THREE QUID !!!, there a standard toyota relay, apprantly every toyota is the same , near enough:)

so now i got hazzards and indicators, so far happy bunny

Steve

im glad i must have missed that bit ,

most probably looking for that bloody shop that selt 20 amp fuses :)

still top day out , like you said names to faces

Steve
