  1. the 2nd pic looks like the CCW's that James (i think) just had fitted to his? like a swept 5 spoke design: Edit, yes, in the links above, lol
  2. Usually jap imports come with what's called a "bitma" certificate which is their method of mileage verification. Mine came with one. What they do to actually verify and issue a certificate i don't know im sure a google would find it out
  3. 6 months is fine, i regularly left my cars over 8 months between fillups and not had a single issue. This kind of thing takes years
  4. Yes plastic tank lol. only the stone protector is metal.
  5. You be much, much better off waiting untill the US imports are allowed, over 50£k as jason says
  6. this is normal, is a rail so the water can run away. However yours does look larger than i can remember on mine just took a picture
  7. I'd hope not as my new car has almost half track tyres on the car from the factory and that's 2015. I believe R888 was replaced with the R888r or something like that as the original R888 would not be allowed anymore. Perhaps thats what they mean? Bunmp from Toyo regarding the r888r: This article says they will, but it's from 2009.. ? http://www.evo.co.uk/news/evonews/236977/trackday_tyres_to_be_outlawed.html
  8. You know that's not the case right? Once all the oil has heated up, you'll just have more oil at the certain temperature. Just because there's more of it doesn't mean it runs cooler. only thing what can make the oil cooler is more cooling radiators etc.
  9. Ah this is the new "covers" not boxes if it has the centre section.. for those i have no idea. yet.
  10. They dont require "that much" modification, give it a go!
  11. This is now sold, thanks for the interest on here by PM!

    Audi TT

    A member on here had a supra and changed to a TT, i think he regretted it, always having faults and issues.
  13. 1000rwhp isn't FT/LBS. The t56 is shown as Torque, not BHP. as discussed hundreds of times on here, it's torque what kills gearboxes/drive-train not BHP. If the V160 is rated around 5/600ft/lbs (ish) and can take 1000bhp... Then a 700ft/lbs gearbox can also take 1000bhp which is the point i was making. I only browsed the dyno section for a small while but it seems the highest power car in there has a Power figure - 821 hub HP Torque figure - 644 ftlbs which means the t56 would be suitable. I don't get why you are trying to dismiss it, it's good for the supra market that there are alternatives. Allbeit, the T56 might not offer the types of ratios to make the drive decent enough for some people, but you can still get one for 4200quid that will handle 1000bhp and 700ft/lbs of torque. If you want 1000ft/lbs it's 6286gbp.
  14. He didn't say you'd get a perfect set up.. He said you'd get a t56 conversion for less than 7k. Which you can, considerably. If you want the 1000lb/ft one yes, it's more. The cheaper 700ft/lbs version is still 200ft/lbs more than the getrag can take.. And if a getrag can take 1000bhp then the lower priced t56 version can also.
  15. Yes you can... https://www.grannasracing.com/products/gr700-t56-magnum-swap-kit-mkiv-2jz?variant=17017717253 4163.86 British Pound Even with import/vat clutch etc it's not 7k.
  16. TCBparts is also good for these bits, often quite cheap you can find them on google.
  17. I don't understand why everybody in the UK is getting in such a hiss about it, it's not the UK it's America, they can do as they wish. However. for the first time in history an elected person is actually doing what they say in their campaign straight off and people are losing their shit, why? I wish our politicians were as honest and forthcoming. Nobody moaned when Obama blocked iraqi's in his time. The travel ban is only while they put in place "proper" immigration bills and how to handle people from these countries, not just letting them in with a quick esta or rushed visa. It's not like they are banning them permanently.
  18. Did you have antifreeze in the coolant? or just water? possible that it froze?
  19. Rolling is OK, slight risk of damaging the paint although i've had 2 cars rolled and only 1 arch had a slight crack. Flaring is much more risky, more chance of cracking/flaking paint and you can't get that much out of the supra arches regarding flaring. I used archenemy all the times ive had work done.
  20. I've just gone to Sky Q It's fantastic, multiroom over network/wireless plus all the recording etc and excellent interface. I personally hate Kodi piracy boxes, Kodi it'self is a great platform for watching back films you own that you've backed up etc but piracy is killing the development of it.
  21. Battlefield 1, Crysis series, Fallout 4 (4k textures), titanfall2, metro series. It was built with the upcoming 4k 122hz monitors in mind, mind you. So i know it's a bit overkill for now.
