  1. Whats does FPR stand for? Hard to keep up with all acrominsssssss
  2. Cool, keep me posted I will post up pics when car arrives, she should look awesome
  3. Cheers Seen pics exquist example the only think I dislike is the TRD3000GT stickers abit OTT but does the spolier button adjust the spoiler?
  4. Dont worry I understand where you are coming from about the 35 orignals, and I know I get passonate about my car but I just find it hard to comprehend how people can justify if the two cars are made in the same factory by the same technicians with the same materials, one car is built better than the other. To me any how it just doesnt make any logical sense but I can understand the price difference due to limited number of orginals, even though they are the same car you are paying for the history and heritage that comes with the GT-C Race wins the orignal 35 where built to pay homage to P.s. Was looking on JM IMPORTS website (like the black RX7)
  5. But surely if the car was built by TRD wheather it was from new or at a later stage I would expect the quality of fitment to be the same but I understand what you are saying, the cars are not one of the orignal 35 but from my perspective if my car was built in 2002 by TRD and the orginal 35 where built in 1998 by TRD then I have a newer car with the only difference between an orignal TRD 35 and mine is a VIN Plate but mine has newer components and the same build/fitment quality with TRD Genuine Parts Cant see Blue car in your for sale section only see purple/ blue do luck supra and the white top secret one?
  6. But remeber they didnt start making them till 1998 to celebrate the GT-C Japanese racing series wins, so 35 cars over 4 years does sound plausable mine could be no.26
  7. Thanks Jurgen, Did u get a blue TRD SUPRA? I have all Documents at home only problem they are in Japanese, so its not the easiest language to figure out. (Two folders full) From what I gather my car was done by TRD Japan in 2002 and the car was factory built in 1993. She is arriving this week, so I will take a good look at the VIN plate and quality of body work. I wonder if I ordered the TRD Kit from Japan Tomorrow do u get a vin plate with the kit or does the car only receive a TRD VIN plate if the car was put together by TRD Japan or TRD USA, depending on if the car was TRD built from scratch or kit was fitted at a later stage this is indicated by the VIN plate Type 1, Type 2 as you described?
  8. Hey Bret do they just sit over the old lenses? and do u have face lift rear lenses or do they fit both Where do you get yours from , price range
  9. I see the body shop are not using a clean room to paint the car, up close the paint will be full of dust or grit . Just cant get a good quality body shop these days with the correct workshop
  10. Thanks never knew you could do that
  11. Did anybody hear of a Blow off Valve controller, it has written on it "BC1 will exhaust boost of turbo car more smoothly"
  12. Hey Does anybody know what this is looks like a radar detecter? Was o the car, all websites and manual is in japanese

    ps3 or xbox 360?

    XBOX 360 all the way, I found graphics on PS3 are good but Xbox 360 are better plus Halo online has to be the best game u can get, plus I if you are into racing games PGR4 is awesome especially online
  16. If the two ECU's are running in paralle, then I assume you have your standard ECU plus a piggy back ECU, but I have seen Supras with two independant Standalone ECU's but only one is used But back to the most likely, a piggy back ECU Basically to replace the Factory ECU with a standalone aftermarket ECU it can be expensive, and you will loose all your creature comforts (i.e. air con) so therefore we have a piggy back ECU. This loops into your Factory ECU but the piggy back ECU looks after the cars Engine Parameters (i.e. injector cycle, mapping Tables) There are three main parameters (maps) when tuning your car: 1.) Fuel (A/F Ratio) 2.) Cam angle *note* 3.) Ignition timing but it still uses the functionality factory ECU to look after the creature comforts (i.e. aircon), in turn the piggy back ECU sends false signals to the factory ECU to indicate the Engine is running as normal therefore it will not trigger your car to go into limp home mode or Engine light to come on, a piggy back ecu takes signals from your sensors and modifies them to trick your ecu into reading a different value. You Factory ECU still thinks it is running the Car but the piggy back ECU is. Why get Piggy Back ECU You have a greater scope to fine tune your car to its full potential over factory ECU, therefore more performance but this is only as good as the additional modifications you have done to the engine and you require extra funtionality/accuracy to tune these
  17. Thanks was lopoking for ages for these
  18. Hey Does anybody know of any L.E.D rear lenses for the Supra, I know smokies V12 has them but the company who supplied them has since gone bust, I am sure he wont mind if I borrow them
  19. add me in Xbox Gamer Tag: Carlo Dublin
  20. I use to have a Toyota Levin and when I did put on an induction kit, it did sound better but I did notice a loss of torque think I will stick with the stock box
