  1. Seriously I'm easily considering that. Supraloopy if it's £25 by the end of tomoz it's yours mate. £5 P&P.
  2. If anyone wants a very cheap HKS F-con V then I have one available that a)is for sale as I don't know how to use it and b) I don't want to muck my car about anyway. Cheers.
  3. That's what I like to hear mate.....names, names, names for me to turn to! Cheers. I've given Mr Wilson a shout.
  4. Wish I knew what the heck you were talking about buddy! My knowledge of Supras, anything technical and turbos is highly limited, or should we say non-existent! Take a look at her here - this might help! Thanks. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=140006501925&sspagename=ADME%3AL%3ARTQ%3AUK%3A1&rd=1
  5. Think I may well do that. He's probably really busy and I need these belts looking at asap though. Hmmm, nothings ever easy with imports!
  6. Heard about Chris. How much for a typical service? I've also heard from another member that he's not too keen on uprated non-stock parts - e.g. he slates them but fair point, the stocks a beauty.
  7. Hi again....! Anyone know hows best to get off the mark with an Auto TT? Never driven an auto before, let alone a supra, and putting my foot down to floor straight away put of course turbo lag doesn't really help. Running off 0.7boost at moment. Any ideas as to how to get the best start? Not considering Track control just yet, too expensive! Cheers Greg
  8. Hi all, Here's the score. Bought a Black J-spec Auto TT Supra on a 93 plate with mods as listed here: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=140006501925&sspagename=ADME%3AL%3ARTQ%3AUK%3A1&rd=1 Guy was a member of this forum and Supra is in very good condition. However, I've heard a couple of noises recently - suggestions that could be crank pulley, tensioner belt or the like, but it only happens 1 in about 10 starts, for only a few secs. Anyway, looking to get it properly checked and serviced. Suppose you have to pay the bucks to make it last right, and I LOVE this car with so much damn passion! Put aside around 800 quid to make sure I get this done properly. Has anyone had a good experience (or bad) with the Toyota dealership? Any warranty offered after the service and how much is it normally gonna be? Thanks guys and big love! Greg;)

  10. Cheers Angarak - you know more than me! Anybody please take this off my hands even if it's for a very small sum! Not gonna use it and refuse to just bin it! As for mapping etc, not sure how or where do get it checked but guy who had it before said it's run perfectly in his Supra. Cheers Greg
  11. Hi mate, apologies for my stupidity but what does this do? I'm new to the forum and to supras..........and to the technicals of cars! Thanks.
  12. How can I check this mate? Would a Toyota dealership do it? Thanks.
  13. Thanks Geordie Steve. Just realised it was you mate on the memory of Karl thread. Left a post in General - off-topic section. You really are a star pal for keeping things together and supporting Karls family. Here's wishing you the best too bud. Oh.....and thanks for the above;)
  14. Just got my Supra and it really makes you think. My deepest blesses to Karl and his entire family, as well as you Geordie Steve who has kept us informed throughout and has really been a pillar of strength. Give yourself a pat on the back bud. I'm new to this forum but without a doubt the bond is closer than close and in Supras we truely are a 'Band of Brothers'. Has anything been setup in Karls name as mentioned about 20 posts back? E.g./ A cruise convoy in memory of him?
  15. Hi all, Just trying to finalise my insurance policy. I've got the following mods. Do I need to notify my insurers of every mod or just specific ones.

  16. Bump. Anyone? Open to offers as can't have this sitting around my room!
  17. Hi mate, Here's the details I have as like I said, it was meant to be fitted by previous Supra owner but I can't be ar*sed to play around with engine mods etc. Not particularly technical minded! I'll try and help as best I can! Thinks it's the V-Pro - got a V symbol after the Fcon bit anyway! It's a silver box with black facing. Photos up and serial number is: CV000311. Got some japanese writing on it, one word, along with JZA80 and 2JZ-GTE M/T. Hope this helps. Sorry about pic quality, crap camera phone! Cheers Greg [ATTACH]40734[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]40735[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]40736[/ATTACH]
  18. Hi all, As above, for sale a used but perfectly working F-Con Fuel & Ignition Timing HKS Computer. Was meant to be fitted to Supra I recently bought but really not in the mood for making any crazy performance enhancing mods anymore. Just want a solid but quick car! Offers please. Cheers Greg
  19. Damn guys, I'm a little scared? As I said turning off the A/C made the noise disappear and it only did it once a tiny bit yesterday, not at all today though when driving to work. I'll get it checked but do you think it's cool to drive til next weekend? At Global Gathering so can't book in a garage visit til then! Any other advice most appreciated. Help!
  20. True I suppose, but hey, it's still minimal and i've got the cooling to take the heat.........I hope!
  21. Thanks mate, much appreciated. I'm taking my Supra to Chris Wilson hopefully for a good check-over, brakes uprating and to with a bit of luck, do this too. Everyone recommends him so gladly he's not a rip-off merchant! Cheers again.
  22. How much am I looking at then guys? Around £250 to replace inc labour or am I too modest?
  23. Only running a modest 0.7 at moment. Not going to push it further for a while until i'm used to it. What's a 'safe' boost increase?
  24. Hi again all, As mentioned, only just got my Supra. It's a K reg J-spec Auto TT in Black with the following mods: REPLACEMENT ENGINE WITH ONLY 42,000KM COVERED STAGE 3 HYBRID TURBOS LESS THAN 1000MILES BRAND NEW FRONT MOUNTED INTERCOOLER WITH HARD PIPES NOT SHOWN IN PICS 550 INJECTORS JUST BEEN CLEANED AND FLOW TESTED WITH APEXI SAFC2 FUEL COMPUTER FULLY DECATED WITH HKS SUPER DRAGER EXHAUST BLITZ INDUCTION KIT WITH POLISHED HEAT SHIELD BLITZ SBC-ID BOOST CONTROLLER FULL BILSTEIN SUSPENSION WITH EIBACH SPRINGS Any ideas on the performance figures, 0-60, top speed and BHP output? I know the guy I bought it off put it on the dyno and got 420BHP at the fly - WITHOUT the new turbos. Here's hoping you can enlighten me! Cheers.
