Myspace account will help her my sister has met loads of agents and got jobs from it but be careful with some companys.

Not myself but a mate at work slipped with a 9" grinder sticking it in his neck the hospital said it was 10mm from his main artery . There was so much blood

I will settle for 8 people but will make 10 up as theres always a couple more wanting them after. if you can send £60 + £8 P&P.to my paypal addy [email protected] I will get the sheet ordered and start making them next week. they will be sent out monday 27th OCT

ok mate ill meet you at lakeside

I ran the first modball rally had a great time its a great experience the whole germany part of it made it more of a laugh I done a full right up on here but cant post up the link for some reason?? do a search for modball experience john

what route are you taking from lakeside to the a12 just wondering whats best as im coming from southend

Silver

Cant wait for this, my mates lent me some 18's with r888s fitted that should get the power down

can you get a picture up of it mate as im not sure if there is a difference between the n/a and tt if thers is a four bolt flange on the end of the gearbox conecting the prop to the box undo them four, then undo the two carrier bolts, drop the prop down from the gearbox flange then slide out one half of the prop, I have left the other half on the diff as it does not get in the way when removing the box, and seems a waste of time doing so but up to you.

Any supra owners fancy meeting up in convoy ???? seems lakeside services is a good place to start john

Its a lovely car mate well worth that, I would list it on pistonheads sold my last 3 cars on there

not sure if the na is the same as the tt but undo the four bolts on the gearbox flange, undo the two bearing carrier bolts, then slide it out and leave one half of the prop bolted to the diff

Congratulations! forgot to add these were twin plate clutches

Ive had both But prefered the look of the koyo + it comes polished ive got a feeling it might be slightly larger capacity too

Just read you post mate thats a shame what happened. This is the first time ive driven it home with nothing broken

I was all over the place to start with, it was a right handfull even got a warning said to Rob its a shame as cant get all the power down and the cornering was a joke

Its going to take a bit of getting used to its very loud and aggressive, but I have better traction and when it does break traction is a lot easyer to control.

Spent the last couple of weeks prepping the car ready for this track day. I fitted my new Tomei lsd in a 6 speed diff to the supra changed the oil and fitted a trd oil filter, meshed the front bumper and the oil cooler, removed alot of the interior to reduce some weight. Was looking at getting the car mapped by Ryan last week but the silicone elbow split a day before and I could not get a replacement quick enough Managed to get a spare pair of wheels from Tom then some tyres from a garage next to my work, as the last track day I ruined a brand new set the new silicone elbow arrived so I refitted that and heat wrapped part of the exhaust manifold which caused the split. Myself and my mate Rob would be taking it in turns to drive my supra on the day, when we arrived the weather was perfect not a cloud in the sky. The event was not as busy as it has been with around 80 cars there so they just ran an open track in hour long sessions. Took some time getting used to the car as it handles very different from my old black one. The new diff and rps carbon carbon clutch made engine braking a challenge locking the rear wheels and throwing the car side ways, the spare tyres I had only had 245/40/17 tyres on which struggled to get traction so after half a lap they were melting, causing the car to slide all over the place I was the only supra owner there, apart from an Evo probably the fastest car there but that blew up at lunch so I was left on my own, had a race with a 4.5 tvr cerbera put that to shame along with an old ferrari, was great when they all bunched up as soon as the straights come up the supra left them all for dust. The GT60 turbo I have fitted is a perfect street and track turbo it flew around I just wish I had some r888's or slicks fitted as I could not get the full potential out of the car. Had a comment from a golf turbo owner saying " I thought I was staying with you, but then you come on boost" Had a great day the car run faultlessly, I had to give up when the spare wheels went down to the cords and had just enough petrol to get to a filling station. Its a really well run track day will be doing the next one for sure with some good tyres to get the best out of the car. Big thanks to SI for organising it The fun did not end there for me though On leaving the army base I realised my front tyres were worn down to the limmit marks, I had no choice but to chance it. 10 miles away from the base im taking it easy chatting to me mate when a copper jumps out of a bush in the road shouting at me to stop the car in front of me stops and pulls in where the copper tells him to go and me to pull in, I see he has a speed gun in hand as soon as I get out of the car he is reading me my rights. I was told I was doing 42 in a 30 limmit 3 points and a £60 fine comming my way I then sh$t myself realising I have no front number plate and two bald tyreshe spots the plate asks me where that was I blagged him on that but then he spots the tyres and checks all four. I was lucky to be honest as he told me If I go to the local tyre garage and get replacements he will not do me for them or the plate I leave him and head for the local tyre place feeling very lucky The thing that really annoyed me was the car in front of me that I was following for some time must have been doing the same speed yet he pulls me over some pics of the day Videos will follow as soon as my mate can upload them John

ill be there with mine mate great project look forward to the results

A 500bhp supra will be roughly same as a 600 bike after a rolling start though

Just put my car on a diet few little jobs to finnish off tomorrow night and its ready
