I like the copper look!

Don't suppose you know if the intake manifold on the VVTI is the same as the non-vvti?

Very nice.

Good man

Thanks Wez, could you please send me the details again? I wiped all my PM's a while ago and lost the downloaded messages.

Is this the one that you got through Wez?

Nice one, thank you very much

Nice pic, how was the experience overall. Was it faster than you'd been before around a track? Anything new you'd not experienced before? What's the best way to build up to this? I'm really curious as I'm hoping to head this way and am pretty nervous about the whole experience, as I don't know what to expect.

Nice writeup.

I've got to stop reading this... it's getting more stuck in my mind everyday

I had J-specs on a standard Supra - no mods at all. Even then the brakes were bad. Then I went BPU and they were very bad. Then I upgrade to Brembo fronts and J-spec rear, not too bad. Then I went from Auto/Tiptronic to Manual, and now they feel inferior as the amount of reaction time has changed as the gears are shorter. If you had a BPU and had the gas flat on the floor, you'd be accelerating at a certain speed. If you were in a single, you'd be accelerating maybe twice as fast (or at least feel like it), and by the time you realise you need to brake, and have started pressing on the brake pedal, you'd have covered twice the distance as in BPU, so therefore would need better brakes. If you were both going steadily at 50, then the turbo obviously makes no difference, but you have to take into account the potential requirements for braking, and the bigger singles will be doing from 50 - 80 faster than you can imagine, and suddenly going from accelerating to braking at that sort of load needs better brakes.

Me neither http://bluebuddies.com/gallery/Smurf_Animation_Cels/jpg/Smurfs_Animation_Cel_Smurfs_Caught_In_Net.jpg

Current pics would be better

I would have thought that if it was in fact a placebo effect then the F1 teams wouldn't bother?

What's wrong with the VVTI head?

Good meeting you there Ryan Great looking sticker on your laptop. Good idea as I had no idea it was you until I saw it. Wez, had no idea that was you. Have you considered using a rear spoiler if you're doing track work?

Yeah, the old name was a bit of a mouthful and when I was meeting people it was actually a little silly. I reckon the mapping will take into account all the differences. Good call. I'm glad you can remember that far back I'm sure you'll get it fired up first time. You seem pretty meticulous so I think it'll be great.

Is there any downside to this? For example, slightly more latency due to longer wires leading to a slight delay in signals etc? I'm not sure how much of a difference a few feet of wire will make.

This is going to be awesome once it's done. Hat off to you mate

No update to project but changed my name as TyranoSupraRex was a bit of a mouthful....

It is a beaut!

£1240?

Yeah, happy happy man!

I was also there. My ears are still bleeding and my ribs are killing me. I was right in front on the railing in front of Angus. Rock on!

I wrote to Tomei yesterday to see if they had any with the cooling channel in the crown. Here's the response. "Hi Mark, Only our RB26 has the option of selecting the cooling channel pistons design (we have 2 types available for the RB26DETT). The 2JZ is without the cooling channel.
