  1. I need some adjustable rear control arms for my car, i like it low and im running to much camber to get the most out of my 335 wide rears, ive seen the Titan/PHR and Ikea ones, anyone had any problems with them? Or do you know of other make ones, Im sure there are others available? http://www.titanmotorsports.com/timorecoarmk.html http://powerhouseracing.com/Templates/frmtemplateM7.asp?SubFolderID=22&SearchYN=N
  2. Heated garage:p i washed it the other day, just a hoover and polish.
  3. Looking forward to a day out in the car, gonna go out and clean mine soon as the kids are in bed.
  4. Lowered and some proper tyres on it and it will look great. Is that valve leaking air?
  5. Hard to say, be worth a lot more if it had billet mains imo, mikeys is a similar sort of spec (has billet mains though) has done 1800miles and is up for 4k, been for sale a while though. Yours is brand new though which is a bonus to any buyer, does whifbitz warrant there engine builds?
  6. I must be missing it but i dont see where it says 140mph in the video, it cuts off just before the guy says the terminal time, Im going by the best times post on this board in the drag racing section. Either way i dont see how it matters to any of this, im not going to argu about any of this with you as it just keeps going round in circles, same as previous threads on the subject, and tbh i dont really care, you want dyno numbers to be an exact science, its never going to be that way.
  7. Your facts are all over the place Scott, dude trapped at 132mph, tdr's best 1/4 time trapped at 114mph, There is a lot of factors to consider in all results, nothing is ever black and white, tdr's car was auto with a high stall, who knows how true them dyno figures are, although with a trap speed of 114mph they sound about right to me.
  8. I think you should just not worry about it so much every dyno will read a little different on different days and depending how hard the car has been strapped down etc, its never going to be a fine art. What does speak that them turbos work is the terminal times the car did at the drag strip.
  9. Its the same dynos all over the world scott, US use dynojet, dynapack, dyno dynamics as do we, iirc GT arts dyno was a mustang.
  10. Yes torque convertor distorts the dyno numbers, 132mph iirc, 71mm turbo.
  11. I dont know, being auto its near impossible to get a real dyno figure out of them, best to leave autos out of it imo.
  12. I dont have a measuring method, my has put down 1100rhhp and that the only figure im quoting dude, i dont know what % to add to it to get and estimated FWHP figure so im not going to do it, im tempted to think hub and flywheel figures are pretty close myself, you cant compare bjorcks car to mine, he is running E85 and a huge T6 setup, im still pump fuel and T4. I have to say i dont think the dyno numbers between different countrys are that far apart myself, back to the first post, for that car to do a 10.8 at 130 it has to have itro 550 rwhp imo, when i did my 10.9 at 126mph i had 536.2rwhp at srr.
  13. I have 1100rhhp, Bjorck has 1300rwhp, his 60ft's are 1.3. mine are 1.8, thats a second gained over the 1/4 for the 60ft difference alone.
  14. So i can see what im shooting at better, i can zoom in or out, better quality, also walking round with a gopro they are not the best for holding, for sticking on the outside of a car they are great though.
  15. Gopros are great for outside the car, inside the car or any other typre of shooting i prefer a proper camcorder. I use a pansonic hx-dc1, its light and gives great quality video, mounts with halfords universal mobile phone holder. http://www.panasonic.co.uk/html/en_GB/Products/Camcorders/Upright+HD+Camcorders/HX-DC1/Overview/7899432/index.html
  16. It would not of happened on supraforums, you need to be a member for 2 years before you can sell anything on the forum. Easy to say now but he had so much stuff i wanted, spare engines and the phr rear arms i very much wanted, i just looked at it as being a risk what with him being such a new member so held off, I think he knew this and used his contact with TDR as giving his forsale thread some trust to customers. I hope you guys get your money back, if i was close to him id be straight round there, i think you guys need to call the police and find out your options.
  17. Have a chat with SRD, Lee was only talking the other day about some special hybrids that have been said to make a lot of power.
  18. I dont think they are much different myself, a lot of people do though, the bhp debate between US and UK has been done to death.
  19. tbh if the info about it doing a 10.8 at 129mph is true then the car is putting down some serious power, MUCH more than what some say is possible from hybrids, its just nobody really pushes hybrids over here.
  20. Scottm is going to love this thread, dont get him started on yank bhp
  21. Corbeau Pro Series are a nice bucket i think, Ive had a few sets of them now.
  22. diamond cutting the complete lip or just the edge?
