I use permabond ET500 for bonding carbon to Alloys/metal http://www.easycomposites.co.uk/products/structural-adhesives/rigid-5min-epoxy-adhesive.aspx

Yeah SSD's are good, I have one in my PC and laptop.

Hi Chris, thanks for this. The EN40B is pretty well priced, I will be getting the Crank Knife edged for sure, although I am unsure about cross drilling, will this ultimately weaken the crank? or will its benefits out way the risk (if there is any). Now to haggle

Ok got some quotes through I have a choice of materials to choose from, EN40B and S132. I am assuming that S132 would be better as its more expensive, however could I ask why its more expensive. What is the difference between the two? Sorry for all the questions but I like to learn.. and not just in general, but James May styleee

Sheesh!!

I reckon around £20-25 a tablet... My mum has a serious rare type of pneumonia once and the tablets were like £15 each.

While your at it http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/vbpicgallery.php?do=view&g=4535 hehe

Hi All, Does anyone know of a Free CFD software program like Openfoam that runs on Microsoft? I dont really want to create a VM and have to install ubuntu.. Rich

If you want to attempt the valve stem seals yourself then use the rope method..http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?49859-How-To-Valve-Stem-Seal-Replacement

To be fair 105db is pretty loud.. although not on here

What does the gauge say?

Ive done this....... Dont do this....

Really useful info chris and exactly the sort answer I was looking for with regard to the crank - cheers I have sent an email to them to see what they can do to get the ball rolling, is it worth getting the new crank to be knife edged and cross drilled? I suspect it would be worth getting the crank Knife edged as the car runs a wet sump.

Cheers chris, will give them a shout to see what they can do Is that something you would recommend over the stock crank if bringing the rev limt to 8k?

Maybe but not more then 700-750bhp.

Is anyone running the Mahle pistons?

Airfields are ok, However as its not a "track" I feel it detracts from the "feeling" of the trackday.. there is nothing like going around an actual race track. Granted ...Race tracks are more expensive but I think its worth the extra cash. I am happy to do an Airfield day but I would rather do an actual track.

I can look into arranging a club day if you want (with the mods agreement of course). Where would people want it?

Actually I have just read that Mahle own Cosworth (who make the Jun kit). http://www.mahle.com/mi/home.nsf/CurrentBaseLink/W26MPHFT008STULEN I wonder what the deal is with the two sets of pistons in terms of design differences now they have been the same company since 2005. Edit.. And now to add Cosworth now have their own set as well... http://www.cosworth.com/products/performance-parts/forged-pistons/toyota/ So does this mean now that one company makes 3 different sets for the 2JZ-GTE?? Wonder if Chris wilson will pop on this thread

Are there any benefits over the Mahle pistons to the Cosworth (Jun) ones? The Mahle pistons are a fair whack cheaper then the Cosworth, does anyone know what are the differences are between the two?

I have a good condition TT engine from my old car (which I am breaking) and have been debating either to sell it or build it up for use in my Track car. The engine in my Track car has a stock bottom but a Swindon engines race spec head on it running 600bhp. I was thinking of building my spare up with lighter stronger internals and having the head done to the same spec of the one I have already, however looking to bring the safe rev limit up to around 8k.. I have been looking about on the net and on here for information but there seems to be a minefield of endless manufactures all stating that their kit is the best. From the research I have done already I am pretty certain that I want to steer clear of BC kit. So I am really looking for guidance on what kit to purchase for the bottom end. I have in my mind Jun Pistons (Cosworth) and Carrillo H beam rods, however I am stumped at the Crank. I know i am not running huge power but would the stock crank be ok for 8k? I know that balancing the stock crank would be ideal if it is ok to be used but would it be worth getting a lighter weight, already balanced crank?

Nice one mate, have fun.. Would be good to get a club series going somehow?? There are quite a few track Supra's on here now..

I have full set of Suspension Arms with R2 Racing bushes for sale if your interested. PM me if you are and I will provide more info.

Does anyone have SRD's Postcode? I "may" need to bring the track car up to them.

The Lines they provide with their kits are not vehicle specific; they are "universal". I have seen this quite a few times, the lines I got when I installed my big brake kit were way too long. I got some Goodridge stainless steel braided ones which were specifically designed for the Supra, perfect fitment.
