The brake bias will be screwed up IIRC. Why do you need bigger brakes up front? My UKs are fine with my single.

The MOST important thing is customer service. Never lose sight of that and you'll go far. The second you forget it, you'll know why so many companies fail in this sector. Good luck

That's the thing though, those kind of miles put off most buyers, regardless of the myth we call Toyota build quality. A clean, honest black UK TT6 is both rare and desirable. Fair play to the seller IMO.

Another classic thread

Might be an idea to address the rest of the queries on this thread too mate buyers will want to know.

PM'd - although it was 3 years ago, I'm sure if you use the inside of the heater vent, then remove the inside vanes, you can use tape to get a tight fit and it looks like stock. You can even adjust the angle

There is a 10% leeway.

That's where I've got mine mate - it fits nicely

What a mess!

It varies from Supra to Supra though, let alone car to car. A test environment would be ideal, but that's not going to happen, so we'll have to rely on user reviews, like in this thread.

Tyre: Toyo T1-R (rear only) Size: 275/35/18 Price: £405 for two, filled with nitrogen and fitted at Micheldever Tyres The car: single turbo Supra (500bhp), Bilsteins with Eibach springs I had R888s on the rear before I decided I’d benefit from a road tyre, so much of my comparison relates to the differences between the two. I’m using Goodyear F1 GSD3 on the front. Dry: the T1-R performs admirably in the dry. Road noise is minimal, especially compared to a track-orientated tyre like the R888. It’s amazing, after using more extreme tyres for a year or so, how much of a difference noise makes to the driving experience. Lateral grip is good, although high speed cornering does feel slightly ‘wallowy’ on occasion because of the softer sidewall. Slow speed cornering is nice and light, with lots of grip available. Wet: the R888 really suffers in the wet, so this isn’t a completely fair fight. The T1-R seems to displace huge amounts of water with its ‘V’ shaped tread, and works well with the Goodyear F1s I’m using on the front. The car feels nice and balanced, with the tyres providing very similar grip levels over both axles. Acceleration: performance is nowhere near the R888, and I often find the T1-R scrabbling for grip in the first three gears, even with low boost, short-throttle take-offs. However, because slides are quite predictable and manageable, you learn to factor this into your driving style when taking off from junctions. Conclusion: the best mid-range tyre I’ve tried. For price vs performance they’re on par with the old Goodyears I used to swear by (but couldn’t find).

It's all about the car you want, not what you want to do to it. I agree that you'd choose a J spec if you wanted to mod it, but if you just wanted a reliable Supra that you can get serviced at any garage, this is the one to have.

How many bits was it in?

HOW??!!?! I give to the RNLI as my primary charity. I've every respect for those guys and what they choose to do day in, day out.

Welcome

Why do you need Sard 550cc injectors if the engine is UK spec?

Wow, that is rocking horse poo. Well priced, too.

I think there are too many variables involved though, unless you're going to include the whole spec and the driving style of the member... plus, if someone just bought their Supra and replaced their Wang Toppo Plus with some Michelin Pilot Sport Cups, they're going to think the tyres are great, but only with regards to the Wangs. Personally, I think we should keep it less regimented and actually let people write their own opinions, with a set of criteria (state price, tyre, front/rear, where bought, etc).

They're not. Oh, and: http://topendmotorsports.com/jp/suspension/wheels/rims/veilside/index.html

Shane hasn't got a Supra... you'd probably beat me though.

I vote we leave it like this for a while so people can get an idea of the thinking that went into it, then prune it when more people have added their thoughts. I'll aim to do mine tomorrow when I've had a bit less wine.

Not veilside.

No, it's the opposite. It's not in depth enough for something like tyres. We need to understand how the tyres act under different conditions, on different cars with different setups. Then it becomes easy to match a tyre to your car, and hence helps you make the big decision. I spent a LONG time choosing my last set (bought last week, in fact) and asked several people's opinions along the way. What I think this could turn into is a resource which saves others the trouble. If we could get input from people like CW, Chiefgroover, Jamie P, Bignum, Suprash, M5WTT, Paul Whiffin, Steve L, etc etc etc then we'd start to get a really comprehensive list together.

That thread is meaningless because people kept quoting the list incorrectly.
