Three Ferrari 360 Spiders wowing the crowd doing burnouts just inches from each other at Top Gear's Live show are apparently fakes, based on Toyota MR2s. Well, at least they weren't Fiero-based.
The replica Ferraris, reportedly based on Toyota MR2 underpinnings, were produced at a fraction of the cost of the real McCoy

:lol: Headline should be... Top Gear Fans got STOOGED!!!

Obviously if they discontinued the 360s in 2005... High doubts they'd be able to get their hands on 3 of them now for the show.

But at least they used Toyotas :D

In case anyone had ideas

though these people are based on a Peugeot 406, but I have seen kits around for the MR2 for similar prices

They do a 355 kit for the MR2

Meh, doesn't bother me too much, the skids that they were doing weren't amazing anyway and the music just made it all flat anyway. Was all the way up the oxygen seats but could still feel the heat from the flamethrowers

      2015 RAV4 Rear Bumper Cover Removal & Installation

      Hi all. I am hoping someone can advise where I can find the instructions to remove the rear bumper cover on a 2015 Rav4 GX model and to install a new one. I am aware I will need to unclip the harness for the sensors. I assume I will need to remove the sensors from the old cover to the new one. How are the sensors secured and how do I remove them? Any advice and tips would be most appreciated. Thank you

      FUEL WARNING MESSAGE

      Glad you got it sorted Geoff. I think I got a win on mine too. I ended up replacing the entire unit inside the fuel tank. The pump was working but was very sick sounding. Also, the filter was very dirty too. I supposed it's to be expected after 14 years. What I can say is that I think some fuel was being pumped from the rear tank, but I think between the filter and the sick pump, it was not enough to empty the rear tank could empty quick enough. Maybe replacing the filter could have gotten me over the line, but I didn't want to have to do the job again. Perhaps if I was selling the car, I might have a different opinion. Its half a day that I won't forget anytime soon. I think I ended up with more diesel on me than on the ground....

      Centre Bearing Replacement

      Hey, Ive installed a new centre bearing on my 2000 model 2.7ltr Hilux. I replaced it due to a shuttering feeling coming from the drive shaft. After I replaced it I could smell the rubber burning and the shutter came back. Looked at the bearing and it has way too much play in it. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Cheers

      Wheels and tyres combos for various terrain

      I have run into same issue as previous post. Limited replacement choice for 245/60R18's on a stock 2019 GXL Kluger. Does anyone know if you can fit 255 on the stock rim instead. There is a much better choice in that tyre size. I have mailed a couple of Tyre places as well but no reply which makes me think that it is not legal.
