  1. Dont drive it fast in the Wet always take extra care when going round corners as well.
  2. What else do you need in order to convert the J-spec tub setup to the UK setup ?? If its not that difficult then i may be intrested. What is the max bar these can be run at ?
  3. I know its an odd request but has anyone got an outline of the whole supra dash ? Its for a project i want to work on. Also does anyone have a Old dash they want to sell (even if its damaged)
  4. I heard you need IK24's if you run 1.2 bar I take it this is not correct then.
  5. Im 23 got the supe when i was 22 used to have the new shape civic type r from 19
  6. Its 105.9 where i am - basingstoke
  7. Ok quick update it went in for an investigation and the guy checked the bearings etc (looked for play etc) and he said that it doesent sound or feel like any of your bearings are shot. He took the car out and said there is a vibration when you go above 20mph, he has said that the rear discs need replacing and that may be the issue ?? I dont think it can be as the vibration is in the front footwell and on the steering which indicates front wheels, i have had the front wheels aligned and they didnt say anything was wrong with it. Now totaly confused i have no idea what it can be, it seems to be getting louder though
  8. Hmm yeah possibly, its just a tad worrying when you can see the heat rising out of the gaps of your bonnet (that wobbley effect)
  9. During the hot weather and well cold weather the heat under the bonnet is well alot must be above 80'c, surley this cannot be good for the rubber hoses and electrics that are in the same area. The question is has anyone got nice looking vents on the exhaust side of the bonnet if so do you have any pics.
  10. Driving home today and decided to give it a bit of welly upto 60mph hit 4000rpm and then nothing no extra surge at all, lifted off as i was concerned and then gave it some and it came in.... what can this be i did a search but couldnt find anything with the words i can think of
  11. Valves may not be sealing properly, injectors may be getting sticky, piston rings may be wearing and loosing that little bit of pressure, moreplay in the bearings which means bhp lost due to more movement, camshafts would be wearing so valves dont extend as long etc stuff like that
  12. The office i am working in is over 30'c at the moment with no air, is there a law saying a max temp you can work at cos i cant concentrate at all. Aircon is working but no really effecting a openplan office with 150 people in it.
  13. I was driving to southampton the other day and got caught in traffic, the other lane bagan to move and i saw this old lady looking at my car she noticed that i noticed her looking at the car and then she mouthed "thats a nice car" i felt well happy wish my nan was like that
  14. Yeah was good to meet you all, thanks for turning up would be good to get another one arranged soon i think perhaps on a sunday as some couldnt make it. T'was good hehe
  15. So what does it actualy do to the box if you are N when moving along
  16. it was only for a brief moment do you think i have damaged anything it changes up fine and dosent make any noise
  17. Yes it boosts fine and it seems to brake in a straight line
  18. Is it true that your wheel will fall off if your wheel bearing fails. Does this happen on the Supra ?
  19. Anyone ? The wooing is driving me mad
  20. Almost was invloved in a big accident this morning, Going up the M4 towards theale in the middle lane toodling along at 70mph (heavy traffic)and in front of me about two car lengths up a blue corsa tried moving into the middle lane while not checking his blind spot, as he just starts to move over a Merc Sl55 AMG comes up to overtake him and moves closer to the barrier to do so, the corsa driver realises that another car is in the middle lane and snaps the steering back to get in the fast lane but the merc is already half in it, so the merc swerves towards the barrier and slams his brakes on the corsa overtakes but then the merc is fishtailing all over the fast lane at about 70 kicking loads of stones and dust this causes more people to brake sharply and causes lots of tire smoke which then in turn causes more people more likely to swerve... i would say it was close call this morning if that merc lost it and crashed then it would of been a diffrent story as there were lots of lorrys and cars all together..... Im a little annoyed cos a stone hit me bonnet and left a nice dent in it and scuffed the paint..got the number for dentmaster anyone ??
  21. I am going to need new front wheel bearings (or used but good) as mine is making a ghost sound when i go above 40 mph.
  22. Hmmm i thought so is there anyway of finding out which one it is as non of them seem to have any play in them
