  1. Hey People Im after an good exhaust system for my 95 NA supra.... I cant afford £400 like so many are being sold for brand new...So basically im after somethin round more of the £200-250, either second hand or brand new.. I want something that sounds very smooth and tuned yes at the same time will produce decent power gains... Makes i would would love : HKS, Blitz, Apexi (my fav) Please let me know if you can help me... I live in kingston upon thames, so if anyone could fit it for me aswell I would be greatful...quote me.. Thanks
  2. I had to cut the leather down the strip, and pull it off, the old leather is stuck to it the knob so u might want to smooth it down after before putting a new one on..
  3. im not changing my wheels, no way...18" deep dish chrome, Common I got a NA so i gotta compete on style if not full on speed... Comfort i dont care about, when im driving i dont mind the bumps to much...the car is already lowered, not to low though...Handles amazingly though , but its the lean when cornering heavy that i find holds me back a bit, Whats the best method to stop the lean....Struts?
  4. I might try the SC mod, sounds interesting, I will look into it.. Might be a stupid Q, but will the exhaust note change any how?
  5. Noo theres no problem, it handles very nicely, I outcornered a 350z in a lil race the other day and kept up with an m3, but I kept holding back in fear of the rear spinning out which it has done on a few occasions....When going round corners sometimes alot of pressure on one corner could be reduced by struts. I just want it better handling really for nippy turns etc..
  6. what are brushes or bushes, iv heard people go on about them..do thye improve handling?
  7. its not to low, enough to go over a normal speed bump at about 15-20 mph with no scraping
  8. i noticed the handeling greatly improved with these wheels on
  9. 18" and they wider 9.5" at the back, with 285/35/18 tyres and 245/30/18 at front
  10. Hi I really want to know what i can do to improve my handling of my NA supra.. Its already lowered and its got bigger fatter wheels/tyres. got a racing steering wheel..and a bodykit for better aerodynamics...I think hehe... What else can I do to improve the handling, make it sharper round corners etc.. I heard struts are meant to do the job but is there anything else aswell?
  11. AHh i c it would be interesting though, woulndt it, I have an NA at the moment...so im only runnint 230bhp...i thought maby a supracharger to maby 350-400 might be a interesting transition, until im old enough to get insured on something alot more powerful..
  12. :D :) :) :D When i was going on about the initial acceleration i meant from the start....thats the sexiest part of a race..
  13. so generally what you saying is that when you add the turbo, the initial acceleration before the turbo is spinning will be as fast as a NA, not slower..?
  14. Hi I know the supra engine was designed for a turbo. I know you might get more power from a turbo on the supra engine... But i want to know if it is possible, or if anyone knows anyone who has put a supercharger on a supra..... Im aiming for about 350-450 bhp when i do my turbo upgrade..So im sure a supercharger could do that....With somethings i like to be different...if its a realllllllly bad idea id forget it...but i dont know....so thats why im asking...
  15. Hi Hi I will be upgrading my NA to a turbo system soon and wanted to know what its like to drive a turbo, in terms of when the turbo lag will be like. When the turbo is added to the na, will the initial acceleration before the turbo starts spinning be the SAME as a Non turbo supra or will it be slower/faster. I was just wondering, because I have driven a 18.turbo golf engine and before the turbo kicks in its as slow as a micra, which is quite confusing considering its a 1.8...I thought even without the turbo you would get the power of a 1.8. Basically what im saying the 3.0liter supra engine 230bhp, when adding a turbo will it be 230bhp PLUS the TURBO, or will it be tuned to be embedded to the 230BHP so that you get a set power surge throughout the rev range. U see what i mean...sorry if havnt explained it properly..I just want to know about the turbo lag, if before the turbo starts spinning, its as fast as an NA id be happy
  16. U are a gangster!!!!!! thanks for that iv been looking everywhere for something like that
  17. was also wondering is Apexi do any good exhaust systems, I have theier inductions kit and it sounds like a tiger roaring!!
  18. well UK rich was saying you dont need cats or something i was wondering what that was about??
  19. Pneumoni ur exhaust sounds LIIIIIVEEEE....It makes such a difference compared to the standard... Does anyone else know anything about J spec NA's and mot's?
