  1. Please don't ruin yet another Supra
  2. I watch the football in there, the massage lazy boy chairs and a cold beer in a gym room is a little counter productive !
  3. Makes on difference to the posts before, you need to ensure you have good EGT and AFR's to be safe
  4. They will help to control boost and AFR/EGT when you de cat, have they been used in the 1.1 bar boost upgrade though ?
  5. How do you know its running 1.1 bar without a boost gauge then? I would be very careful with your right foot until you get A full de cat An AFR gauge An EGT Gauge A boost controller A boost gauge
  6. The more I look at the R8 the more I see a cheap Lambo
  7. Ok if you like, that has nothing to do with the safe running of your engine now though does it ?, 1.1 bar with a cat in is a risk and any garage worth its salt would have told you that rather than pushing BHP
  8. No in short I would say your current 1.1bar 385bhp could be a risk now, I would get the 2nd Cat out now add a restrictor ring then get an AFR gauge to be safe beyond stock boost
  9. Mate first of all I am not having a go, not at all, Take it from an owner who has lost an engine it is not as simple as an MOT and service station saying all is ok when they have no EGT and AFR data, I am sure you are seeing high EGT's with a Cat in, this IS a risk thats all, if you are happy to up power at this risk fine, thats the risk you take for the gains !
  10. Ahh ok thats fine then, they checked the AFR's and EGT's at 1.1 bar on WOT, thank goodness for that
  11. How do you know there are no issues ?
  12. Having a CAT in at 1.1bar will cause higher Exhaust Gas temps, not 90 but around 700-800 oC is expected, any higher could be an issue
  13. The voting is so so funny !! No idea what else you said !
  14. Good result with a Cat still in, what were you EGT's at WOT on 1.1bar ?
  15. Yes I got it,my brain is fried to be honest, Lehman is crazy at the moment !! Scary thing was Hanna was looking very tasty by the end of the film !!
  16. Errr it was ok, longer than I would have liked to be honest, I did the usual and ate her popcorn and pick and mix which I was annoyed about after ! I dont mind going to see the Pixar stuff, she is a BIG Hanna fan at the moment though !
  17. Ahh that makes more sense now, bugger I have been without a spare in Supras many times !
  18. I find myself only going to the cinema with my 8 year old these days, the time from release and Sky getting the films I want to see seems to have come down so much, I was lucky enough to see Hanna Montana today
  19. You will get a great TT 6 for £8K, I would give Jurgen from JM Imports on here a PM and ask for him to get you one
  20. How can that be,some cars (Smart for example) dont ever come with a spare ?
  21. I brought all this kit about a year ago from Decathlon in Lakeside, I built myself a home gym in the summerhouse and it has been most useful in my goal to loose weight and get a bit fitter, I have now joined a local golf club where a gym membership is included so with that and the fact I move to France in Jan 2010 I thought I would offer it up on here It will require a van to get it home, or several trips ! Included are Multi gym which I selected on the fact it is very compact yet has quite a lot of exercises for its size Exercise bike with workout computer Cross trainer with workout computer Weights bench with sit up leg bars, this bench can be adjusted for incline also Dumbell set Barbell set set of lightweight dumbells on a stand Weightlifting belt (34" waist) All of this kit cost me over £800, happy to take offers around £500 for the lot
  22. My new car is in Jap Performance magazine so I am told, can't find it anywhere, will get down to WH Smiths and have a look, has anyone got it they could scan in It was dont before I brought the car but its always good to add to the cars history file, I will contact them when I get it back from Dave's and see if they want to do it again
