Hey Branners, any news on this one? I couldn't see anything in the thread, but my apologies if you've answered and I missed it!

If you could please, yes... as you pay for the rider/driver, I presume it doesn't matter what number of vehicles they take up the track, you can still only do one at a time Then some Supra's can have a proper standing start play with bikes! I'm sure they want you to wear at least two piece leathers though, I might not actually be able to get in mine now

I think its the wrong type of tarmac at santapod, and my car isn't mapped for Poddington air, so it won't be running at 100%

So if I bring the bike up as well as the Supra, can I run both (as long as I am driving/riding - and probably not both at the same time I guess?)

I give him 3 months until he goes on the BPU quest, then a further 3 months till he starts avidly reading the single conversion threads... Seriously, good choice joph, now you can start the real debate and ask which colour you should get.

Yeah, the reactions on the TC are a touch sluggish, more than once I have reacted, caught and corrected the scrabble before the TC wakes up! As I am blessed with the facelift TC, it then jumps out of its box, reckons its snowing, sets the TC accordingly and buries my face in the windscreen... Still wouldn't be without it though, its saved me a couple of times :o)

To be honest if you have driven an MX-5 and a 1 series then you've probably sampled as much as an NA will throw at you anyway - ok yes, it will be quicker than those two, but it will also offer more grip so if you can manage to keep those two sticky side down you should be fine in a NA. Jumping to a TT as long as you aren't a driver that thinks the throttle is a simple 2 way switch and you have a fairly healthy fear of death you should be fine - just remember the traction control in the Soop will attempt to make you look like a d***head at every opportunity but it is better than nothing, so don't switch it off just yet. It is not up to the standard of the traction control in a 350z for example, but it will attempt to do something to help, mostly. You do have some nearly friendly weather to have a bit of fun, and if you drive it in the rain or the snow don't try to be a hero and race an evo, instead try and play the "what is the best mpg I can get out of this car" game and you'll have many happy years together with your Supra. I'd wait until next spring before starting to tweak and tune your new wheels, this year concerntrate on handling and tyres - then go on the quest for more power

*shrugs* Maybe he doesn't want to wear them out

Could just pull the intercooler pipe off the throttle body and replace with a cone filter - the car would be hopelessly overfuelled and run like a pig of course... but the desired effect of no boost would be achieved!

Fantastic - thanks!

I believe this should be a really simple one to answer, are the Supra N/A twin pot front calipers the same as the Jspec TT twin pot front calipers? I did try the search but I could only find people comparing to the soarer, I think the answer is yes, but I'm looking for a definitive yes from you clever lot!

It really "grinds my gears"* as well - the apparent "evolution" of English, both in spelling and punctuation, is highly irritating. There are a lot of people on this forum that can type at a reasonable pace, even if they cannot manage touch-typing, so why can they not type in near proper English with the odd bit of punctuation thrown in? Does it take that much longer? I am the first to admit that my spelling is not perfect and I do not have a full command of the Queen's English, but I can at least string together a post that is understandable! Some of the threads started in a similar vain to this one have been absolutely hilarious, but at the same time, very depressingly true. When posts appear that are hardly legible, let alone intelligible - and in no way are they answerable it is a sorry state of affairs! Made even worse when these posts are on the quest for "more power innit" - these people are allowed to aim 350bhp+ down the Queen's highways? And another thing, why do we have so much trouble with threw, through, though, your, you're, their, there, they're, know, no, brakes and breaks??? Surely when your brakes break when instead they should be braking you know you're in for fun, can't people manage to put this into a coherent sentence? I'm waiting for the following threads:- "Can ny-1 help coz my breaks breaked last night innit!!!!!" Ah certainly friend, I can clearly see what your problem is from your well defined self analysis. What you clearly need is a dictionary. If one of these is not available, you could pop along to your local Ripspeed counter and beat your head repeatedly on the counter until concussion sets in. Once revived please then avail yourself with the largest "phat" alloy wheels you can find in the store, and have them inserted anally. For the final touch you should use the self-adhesive carbon fibre sheeting to cover your nose and mouth - your problem should now be resolved. "Who wantz me break pads? Dun hardly no miles innit?" What the hell is a break pad? Is it a small piece of rubber matting you can put things on, then beat them with a hammer until you are satisfied with your handiwork? Maybe this sale could be combined with the first thread for a quick sale? * I watch far too much Family Guy

Thanks Luke, Whereabouts in Surrey are you? I assume you've had no problems with the calipers this far? Is the condition of them ok? Anyone else want to better that offer?

As the title suggests, does anyone have a caliper in good condition for not a lot of pennies? Mine is still acting up, even after being freed up and all the seals replaced. Nice and cheap would be good, bit broke at the moment, feeding the Supra is proving expensive this month - why do all the pricey bits need changing/replacing/servicing at the same damn time?

*free bump* Could I have a ballpark price for the front calipers if you are going to split the brake parts please?

This Duxford place sounds good, might take the missus to it, she likes planes you see. Do they always have flying displays or do you have to go on one of their "airshow" days for that - is it normally static only?

I enjoyed this day too - the Vulcan was beautiful, so good to see it back in the skies

Apologies for re-opening this old thread, but does anyone happen to know what thread the ducting holes needs? I know its imperial, but I don't have a helpful bolt shop that will let me try any, and silly though it sounds, I don't seem to have any imperial bolts in my garage!!

Maybe we could cut out that paperwork and get mediums to take the vote over their link to the "other side" - I'm sure those votes can't be fixed, that way we can keep the fair, un-biased, un-corruptable system we have going now...

Are you back yet Gaz? More importantly, am I on the list yet?!

Yeah, price went up coz you get 3 games not 2, hopefully this will put people off so I can get one

Watch it, I have my eyes on you

I hope he hasn't sold them all yet, coz I haven't had my IM offering me one... Nor have I had the IM offering me a PS3, snot fair, just coz 150 people got infront of me...

its gotta be me soon! Me Me Me!!!

Ohhh, nearly in my grasp - I can nearly taste it - come on Ash, you don't want it, you want one of those 40gb ones in Dixons...
