  1. I took my car for a 6 hour drive today....on the way to and from my Aston Martin DB9 track day (which was very cool)...but i'll tell more about that in another thread. So anyway, there and back I had the opportunity to run against a supra and a few others... I definitely need more power particularly from 100 leptons upwards . Can you guys please check out my garage and recommend the next step? I'm not sure I'll ever go single (unless my current turbos die), so assume that I'll stay with the Japanese twins Any suggestions?? What benefit would an exhaust cam give me? Is there a downside to a mildish profile (256)? I also had some weird things happen. After driving steadily in top gear at about 3000-4000 rpm'ish, then slowing down, I find my boost hitting 1.2 bar easily with half throttle, even though I hadn't changed anymore settings (and i have the SBC-ID set to limit to 1.2, so it feels lumpy when I hit it). My car also backfires between gears when I've slowed down and pull away again after this long speed run. I also find that my Alarm siren stops working when I've done a long journey, which I assume is down to the heat (it's quite near the turbos). Do you think the boost controller solenoid can be affected by heat? So many questions. Hope someone can help. Cheers folks
  2. I was there.... rocked, but the sound wasn't great on the day...

    N***hex

    UK Spec... through the window it sounded like you said Supra Dan? Was a good run...cheers mate
  4. Ummmmmm... I think it's the concept 600 or 550 or something like that. I wanted the top of the range (650), but they suggested getting the one I have then adding the auto start, and tilt & motion seperately...
  5. Cheers for that. Anyone have the software/cable to set this up?

    Hi to all

    Very nice... FMIC, gauge pods in the pillar, different mirrors, recaro seats and a flappy plate holder
  7. Avoid foxes at all costs
  8. Mine goes off if i leave anything made of metal in the centre console, OR if the temperature drops enough for frost to be on the grass, OR if I park with the front of the car facing uphill... Clifford sucks!! Most expensive F***ing frost alarm I ever bought!!
  9. Fluid definitely helped me... make sure you put the right stuff in!!
  10. I'm interested. Please have a look at my garage and my spec, and let me know if it's suitable for my VVTI with tiptronic?
  11. I stand corrected then... Anyway, whatever I did, it worked Thankfully my dad works for BP, so he pulled some strings and his mate in Hong Kong posted me 20 litres of the stuff for free
  12. Don't forget that when you drain the fluid you only get 2 out of the 5 litres out. The rest is in the torque convertor. I did it by draining 2 litres, then adding 2 new litres, driving for a while shifting through all the gears (manually too using D, 1, 2, R etc) and then draining again until the fluid was coming out clean. I did this about 5 times (painful and a waste of fluid but saves opening the box). Maybe someone has a better way of doing it than i did, but it worked for me....
  13. I just noticed the price... gonna have to pull out, sorry mate. To rich for my blood at the moment. Sorry to waste your time...
  14. Could I try sit in them before buying? I work in Dartford next to the tollgates and live in Blackheath (se3)
  15. Try keep the size down.. helps when it comes time for eseutil
  16. PS: I luckily had a mate with some but I doubt he'd lend them out. Sorry dude.
  17. I did mine on Sunday. I would NEVER have gotten it off without the pullers... my advice... get some...
