  1. White TRD kitted supra...... http://www.wheelmania.co.uk/gallery/japanese/supra3.html
  2. Wow, great effort for sticking with it. Fingers crossed for MOT
  3. I've got one for that as well http://www.break.com/index/worlds-largest-cyst-popped.html
  4. I searched an couldn't find it. It's not the same vid that I posted earlier.
  5. I posted this in another thread, but having watched it three times now, and I'm still crying from laughing so much, I thought I'd share it with you ********** LANGUAGE NSFW ************ http://www.break.com/index/igun-road-rage.html
  6. Brave or stupid,? http://www.break.com/index/crazy-kid-does-pull-ups-off-crane.html
  7. I don't think it's NWS. Sure it's pretty funky, but nothing you would'nt see in an A+E dept.
  8. DON'T CLICK IF YOU'VE JUST EATEN OR HAVE A WEAK STOMACH. For everyone else......enjoy http://www.break.com/index/two-girls-one-cyst.html?mrr=we
  9. Sounds like it's fubard mate. Have you tried connnecting it in different ways to eliminate whether it only happens with certain connections?
  10. The OP wants the stretched tyre look. Hence why I said he could get 255 on a 10" rim. On the pic I posted, that's a 275 on a 10" rim, it's not stretched enough for his taste.
  11. Well, you know your width choice, so go from there. Find someone else with 9.5 fronts and 10 rears (if they're the sizes you want) by snooping through garages, once you see a wheel that sits the way you like the look of, ask them what the offsets are, then go from there. I have 8.5 on the front of mine and 10" rear. The 10" rear is a 43 offset, which sounds like a lot, but factor in the width of the wheel and it sits nice. These wheels have 275's fitted, and they're still slightly stretched inwards. If you go for a more agressive offset wheel, you'll need to stretch the tyres over more to keep them under the arch, you also may have to fettle the arch to stop it fouling.
  12. Ok, I found this a while ago while I was wheel shopping http://www.morfed.net/wheel-offset-calculator/ You can put in the offset of your current wheels, then put in the offset of the new wheels (including witdth difference), it'll then tell you how much more proud the rim will be from the arch. The width varies the offset, because the offset is a measurement from the hub face of the wheel, the wider the wheel, the higher the offset for the same out edge measurement. Hard to explain in words, (probably even harder to understand), but play around with that link and you'll soom get it. For an 8.5" rim with 35 offset, moving up to a 9.5" wheel, to keep the same outer edge, you need a 48 offset.
  13. The gunmetal ones are in that link I sent you, so they defo do it. 255 tyres will give a similar look to the pics you posted of the evos and scoobys. get 9.5 fronts then, but you'll have to go higher on the offset too to compensate for the width. I would really suggest you keep it staggered though mate. I remember reading somewhere once about staggered fitment cars, and that they are designed to promote understeer on the front making it safer to drive. (yes I know some NA supes didn't have staggered fitment as standard, but we're talking about a full BPU TT here)
  14. Is that one of those illegal rear plates that doesn't show on photos?
  15. Lol at you fellas saying you wouldn't. ................ Ok, I'm confident about my sexuality, but even I can admit that martini is a pretty boy, so he's about the only one justified to say that he'd say no. As for me, pretty much anything with a pulse that casts a shadow is game....
  16. Good choice mate. Colour wise, the gunmetal ones get my vote. As for the width, I think you should go for staggered fitment, and not the same size all round. The supra is complimented by it's big rear end, and a set of wider rears exaggerate this fact. You can use the rare rims site to upload a pic of your supe from the side on, then virtually fit the grids to see what you think. http://www.rarerims.co.uk/alloys_sub2.asp?id=42&intPage=2 I'd go for 18x9.5 front with 35 offset and 18x10 rears with 30. You may need to fettle the arches, but it'll look sweet EDIT - oh, and on the rears, go for some mad tyre like 255, to get a crazy stretched look.
  17. 220 mph, black, with colour choice
  18. The bell housing on the stock capri gearbox is, as I remember, very narrow, much more narrow than the supes. The engine wouldn't be an issue, the transmission tunnel would need a bit of work to get it in though. If I were to do it, I'd not bother with the supra rear axle setup, as the capri uses leaf springs on the rear with fixed rear suspension. I'd fork out for a custom drive shaft to mate one end to the getrag, and the other to a stock (albeit soon to be rebuilt ) back end. Actually, I'd rebuild a stock 1600 4sp rear diff, with the little ratios these things run, you'll need to fit a wheelie bar
  19. You can eliminate the VSV's as being faulty (wouldn't be the first time, they are known to fail) by putting the car into TTC mode. Do a search on here or google, there's step by step 10 min instructions on how to do it. TTC mode will bypass the VSV's and have both turbos coming on at the same time. You'll have to have a boost gauge to see that you are seeing max boost.
  20. Punk ass bitch mofos!! , sorry to hear this dude. Your car is clearly being targeted. It was more than likely just a test to check the cars security. If I was you, and this may sound sad, but I'd probably spend the next few nights sleeping in the supra, like a coiled spring waiting for the toe rags to show up again. "I couldn't believe it officer, I was out changing my wheel at 0230hrs, when I saw this guy trying to break into my car. I already had the wheel brace in my hand when he went for me, hence why it's embedded in his face"
  21. Was I mad to buy the genuine clear indicators from toyota? They cost me over £100
