  1. Ive always like Precision, like for like in size not much can come close to the spool and power they make imo.
  2. Hopefully you have your eye on something else and this is not you giving up on the sport.
  3. Bryce's Supra, first time i watch videos of his car i wanted a Supra. [video=youtube;qnqq--I7Wso]
  4. Looks great, brilliant job you have done.
  5. I had hoped i would get away with using the teins JB, sadly not, I'm fitting my hks drag shocks now though so that sorts that issue out. The clutch 100% has issues, I'm hopeful its a hydraulic problem and not the clutch itself, will know more in a few days, if it is the clutch itself i will most likely just put the car away for winter.
  6. Id love to but im not doing anything else till i get the 9 second 1/4 im after, 1st of october is one of the dates i want to run at the pod, great to find a place with no noise limits though.
  7. Blimey, that sounds good.
  8. How old are they? if under a year and never been driven on I will take them please, can collect next week.
  9. Log book came in the post today so anyone that was pm'ing me feel free to get back in touch. Cheers.
  10. Not to worry, never wanted to clutter up your thread, just interested in the boat, From reading the first post i thought you have the boat, then i see the edit that you "have had" it, then it turned out to be your dads.
  11. I see, never seen a boat with a radiator before, mine have had heat exchangers, but then this is a car engine suppose, where did you mount the radiator so it got air flow? Sorry for the off topic, just interested in the V8 boat you have.
  12. Sorry for the off topic, Surely you cant just suck up freezing water into a hot engine?

    Beather setups

    PCV= Positive crankcase ventilation valve, its located in the intake side cam cover and is attached by a hose to the plenum, i kept mine in place till i was about 900bhp.
  15. Shame i never got one but fair play to the guy, wish i had of done it.
  16. Is that one of them "Can i borrow the trailer Jay?" we do good rental deals Nice one.
  17. Castrol SRF Chris? i can see a brake fluid listed but no clutch fluid or is it fine to use as clutch fluid?
  18. Yeah be handy to have in the gang, anyone has an issue i can drive my car home and anyone else can use the trailer.
  19. That is whats being done now bud, we had one that covered the brake cylinder, just never went infront of the master. No, all earths seemed to be good, strangly after i refitting my headlights the issue has not happened since, im wondering if something from the HID's could have been shorting out, im hopeful that issue is gone.
  20. Depends when the car is ready Neil, i told Lee im in no rush, there is a few rwyb days coming up in september, i also like the look of the saturday night special on october the first. http://www.santapod.co.uk/calendar.php Myself and Ryan are buying to share Kev Huntley's trailer off him that he used for the ENVY drag Supra, be nice to now have a trailer kicking about i can use when needed, still rather drive my car to an event but its a pita changing wheels and coilover settings when you get there.
  21. The car is in at SRD at the min to sort a couple of things out. I had a lot of clutch problems at suprapod, after doing some research i think its an hydraulic issue, the master cylinder gets hot from the downpipe being so close and the system has pretty old fluid in it, Lee is going to change the master cylinder, slave cylinder, and fit one of whifbitz braided lines with all new fluid, if that dont cure the problem then Lee will look at the clutch. Lee is also going to make a new heatsheild that covers the master cylinder, ive got some of that gold heat proof sticky back to cover it with an all. I also had an issue with the car ticking over really high at suprapod, 2000rpm, this got worse on the drive home and even worse again when i dropped the car to Lee, 3000rpm tickover when i got to Lee's, turns out where the ICV plate is welded on the bottom of the hypertune manifold its cracked, Lee is removing the manifold to get this fixed, pictures soon. Big thanks to Chris Wilson for sorting out my HKS drag coilovers, Lee got them back today and will be fitting shortly. Picked up my new Hoosier QTP drag slicks today, these are the same 27" i like but an inch wider than the MT's i used at Suprapod. Got one of SRD'd alley undertrays going on the car an all. Also fitting the purge kit back on as i was never sure if nitrous was in the lines or not, With the above sorted and changing NOS jets from 50 bhp to 100 bhp sized jets im hoping getting that 9 i want will be a breeze Nos Jets.
  22. SRD do some nice kits that fit very well.
