  1. The colour Temperature, from what i understand the Colour Temp affects the Light Colour illuminated. I would like a White colour around 5-6K
  2. Hi Car: 93 JSPEC I have the Bellof kit (not too sure which one, has red ballast packs but models now seem to be all blue) A few Questions Does the bulb dictate the Temperature or the actual Ballast?(4000K bulb or 6000K Bulb ) I have new Facelift Headlights, and some condensation inside - I heard you use the uk SPEC bulbs (9006) instead of JSPEC (9005) for a better Seal to solve this?
  3. I dont think its too bad once he wears gloves, then he could just Stuff it up between the legs as far as it will go I do like a good stuffing
  4. Thanks, the flu seems to be making its rounds
  5. Anybody been able to contact Nic?sent him a pm about a few parts
  6. Alot of the guys in the USA have issues with the ebay TRD replica kits, panel gaps, quality of material used in the kit I read on supra forumns one or two pf the body shops in USA said it was the worse kits they seen I think it would be cheaper buying a TRD fitted Supra with a single conversion, lucky for you Jurgen has one http://www.jm-imports.co.uk/carimages/injapan/t51rtrd.jpg
  7. Full bodykit is available from TRD http://trdparts.jp/english/parts_aero-supra.html Wide body kit -- £7357 Aero bonnet hood -- £1590 Rear wing -- £1113 All without shipping or fitting or paint
  8. Thanks, Think I will go with R2 Racing Control Arm Bushing Kit for 1993-98 Supra - Front But saying that the PowerFlex bushes for the sames Money replace pretty much all front bushes not just the control arms
  9. TRD do a small Majority of bushes still but I am holding off, just goin to fit the arms with the rubber bushes, inspect the rest and make a decision to get a full kit or not. Dont ask me why TRD dont still do them all, pain in the ass Think you either go fully Urethan or not so you dont stress the other parts http://www.trdparts.jp/english/parts_bush-supra.html No.DescriptionPart No.CodeQtyList Price(JPY) 7Front upper arm bush48632-JA800F47, 800 8Front lower arm bush No.148654-JA800F27, 200 9Front lower arm bush No.248655-JA800F26, 000 11Rear lower arm bush No.148725-JA800F22, 000
  10. Yes I have :O I think if you where doing it you would need to do everything together My only reservation is availability of parts in a few years if you needed them
  11. I bet if I rolled in on that setup you would be like a kid at christmas I presume if I was to go that route you would need to replace everything so the other stock parts would not be over stressed For time being I think New Stock Lower Arms and TRD Bushes?
  12. Thanks but I am good to do myself just trying to get parts by the end of the week might be an issue I will get lower Wish bones for now and look into the Ikeya Formula Setup suggested by Chris for whole car
  13. This is what you would go with but are they not over kill for Normal Road use and they cannot be used with stock suspension arms Seem very pricy too, Evenually I want to get everything changed this year but springs and shocks Do the Ikeya come with rubber or Urethane Bushes?
  14. Chris do you sell these lower Arms, pm me Price Please delivered to Ireland Is it ok to still drive on it?
  15. Hi Bushes are gone in the Lower Front Wishbone Do I replace the whole Arm or just the bushes. If I get a new arm, I want to upgrade to Urethane bushes. Whats the options?
  16. I even get the squeak (Like rubbing two balloons together of trying to twist a balloon is the best way all i can describe the noise) when just trying the Wheel at a stand still Think it might be the Ball Joint maybe some dirt, last time we checked we had at least some poly urtheane bushings upfront (On sway bars in anyway) so hopefully the rest are too I think it is the Ball Joint or the Sway bar Linkage
  17. Lubed the Anti Roll bars this evening,no affect. Only issue no access to ramp so hard to say the least to view the bushing let alone spray I didnt think Bushings would go so suddenly, if it is that?
  18. Think the sway bar bushings need to be greased

    Squeaky Dash

    Anybody find out what it was?
  20. Hi Just noticed this morning, first time ever hearing this. When I go over ramps in the Carpark the front Suspension squeaks like an old spring bed and when turning I get a squeak too It is fairly cold this morning, would this be the cause?
  21. The Logic is there to support what I am experiancing, so its all good. Plus when you buy a Supra you are buying a GT car. I did make the decision to have looks over handling, I was told before I bought the car (Not drove or sat in one before mine arrived from Japan) that other Jap cars (Skyline GTR) would run rings around it on the race track but a Supra would dominate in appearance, so I am not surprise about the handling just great to get the logic behind what is happening. I presume this is why D1 or Drift tuned cars in general run big offsets, so it is easier to unstable the car and I am sure Aesthetics also play a big part? With regards all the propaganda around Works/Tuner Companies (HKS,Trust,Apexi etc), is this just good marketing or are would you recommend there Suspension products? It is difficult to tell whats good, whats not due to all the marketing blurb.
  22. Thanks Chris, great feed back as always even if it is something I wish i did not know now Sure over here with traffic, it is better to look good in the Words of Homer J Simpson "Well, it's 11pm. Better go home and spend some quality time with the kids"
  23. I remeber now, you said that awhile back about subframes for the TRD3000GT's,so I take it is the Wheel offset impacting the handling, didnt think that would be an issue but every days a school day. Would a Supra normal offset and Spacers work better then? So all I can do is get correct Tyre pressure and would the Strut Bars help?
  24. Hi Chris Suspension -- TRD Bilstein Shocks, Springs -- TRD up-Rated Anti-roll bars Wheels -- 19 Front 245/ Rear 275 Tyres -- Eagle F1 Profile 35 I am sure you read my findings with my Current setup experimenting with tyre Pressures I would like the car to feel more planted in corners, for me she rolls abit too much and considering your expertise in Suspension setup what would you recommend as I am sure alot of members here have similar setup What approach should we take to tune this type of setup or is it a lost cause until I reduce rim Size For Example Install more Equipment or adjust current settings Get Strut Brace? Do luck Cross member Bar Adjust Camber, Toe in/out
