  1. Few video's of me going up strip !st run, Lisa.MP4 Me & Gary.MP4
  2. Well i took my car to Jap Show Finale at Santa Pod on 8th October, to take her up strip and see what time she does. On the morning of show car wasn't running 100%, i didn't think to much of it just thought may be some doggy fuel or something as after few miles driving she felt ok. My mate Gary came along in his Evo 7 as we said would go and see what cars can do. My 1st run felt ok up strip but car felt like was holding back and only managed a 13.6 which turns out was best run of the day. On 3rd run went up against mate with Evo and it was so close he just beat me by 6 tenths of second, was quite shocked as he only around 400bhp. On way home car didn't feel 100% again and was worried that had damaged something, after speaking to Mike at SRD he noticed that my car was missing so checked the Whifbitz R35 coils and turns out two of my coils are faulty so that explains why she was running so rough and so low on power, SRD reckon car with two cylinders missing i would be around the 400bhp mark which explains my slow times, as i should of been low 12s with ease if not in the 11s. If honest am really gutted the Whifbitz coils let me down and speaking to few people its quite common them failing and now Whifbitz doesn't sell the kit so that says must be poor quality or design. So going to treat car to genuine R35 coils from SRD to solve miss firing issue, its job didn't plan for over winter and will only be plug and play so nice and easy, just money wanted to spend on other upgrades, but these things happen. I have also been looking at gearbox options so can run my Nos and more power and think going to go with GS6 box conversion with build diff. Few pictures from Santa Pod and my timing slip.
  3. I do like the new Toms supra lively, and was nice to have good look at the Yakushi show, but must confess i did really like the goblin look supra including the massive rear wing, but do think its good idea to change it and look every few years.
  4. Final bump and price reduced to £450. If this doesn't sell soon will hold onto it until market picks back up and sell at higher price
  5. Wow that colour is stunning, shes looking so good
  6. Amazing attention to detail, really enjoy following this build, car is going to pure stunning once completed
  7. Longer than i relished that's for sure lol Oh yes i am sure will find more jobs along the way to keep me busy, as these cars are never ending, hopefully someone buys my veilside exhaust and can look and fitting cage and fitting new carpet, plus fit my amp and sub...but that's just wishful thinking at moment.
  8. Slight update got the insurance agreed value back at 35k which am happy about, also have purchased tickets for Jap Show Finale in October to take car up strip see what time see does, going to order helmet this week just incase pass the 110mph mark going up strip. End of October will properly put her away for winter to do some little jobs... 1. Have noticed very slight oil leak from one of my oil sensors in sandwich plate so will do oil change and sort that out 2. Want to do coolant flush and clean and refill with all new 3. Replace brake fluid and fit new clean reservoir (sat in box waiting) 4. Re route turbo oil feed line to tidy up engine bay more 5. Strip interior and treat and rusty metal and sound deaden rest of inside (all ready done boot and under rear seats) 6. Fit new rear OEM upper rear arms 7. Remove exhaust manifold as have slight leak when start car, fit all new gaskets and look at getting the Whifbitz log manifold heat wrapped or coated 8. Re fit the Nos solenoids and lines in engine bay so all ready to be used when choose 9. Look at fitting my 10x7 speakers in rear panels or if cant fit new rear speakers 10. Fit lifters on carbon bonnet so sits higher at rear so can get fitment better and possible look at fitting bonnet catches didn't relise had so many little jobs to do, should keep me very busy over the winter
  9. Bump...amazed still have this rare stunning exhaust sat in shed
  10. Welcome to the club, very nice car and i would def recommend the na-t route as love mine, also like the TRD wing but do prefer the big rear wing
  11. That's the best way, i tell my misses what all my build costs and she is fully supportive aswell
  12. I just wanted to say a massive thank you to Adi and everyone else who organized a fantastic weekend, my 1st time doing an event like this with club and from start to finish the whole weekend was perfect, really was made to feel so welcome by all and will def be up for doing this next year and more great events with this fantastic club and amazing members
  13. Yesterday gave the supra the full wash, wax and detail treatment. to get her looking her best for new insurance valuation plus ready for Yakushi Show next week... plus just an excuse to post up pictures of her looking stunning.
  14. Well today has been a very productive good day, managed to finish off fitting carbon rear diffuser, got the rear sitting perfect thanks to brackets made at work and some threaded bar. plus replaced the silver bolts with black bolts where can see to give cleaner look. Plus massive thanks to Mike from SRD today, i finally have my car rev gauge all working as should, after doing wire bits few weeks, Mike walked me through how to set and calibrate rev counter, am so over the moon and can't wait to drive car, going to make car so much more fun to drive now cause do feel been holding back while giving her boost.
  15. Amazing attention to detail, i think i would be too scared to drive in once finished

    What next ?

    I like the look of them wheels, gives is more sporty aggressive look
  17. Yes had to drill couple extra holes for the carbon side bits to sit on hockey sticks. Thank you very much, hopefully will get some better pictures of diffuser over weekend
  18. Thank you bud, always wanted diffuser on car and think looks really good fitted.
  19. Been good weekend, Saturday the supra had MOT and passed do have slight play in rear upper arm bush and i do mean slight slight but going to order new set of OEM upper rear arms. Today decided to go into garage and sort few bits and got more done than planned, managed to adjust and tidy up throttle cable so that sitting and looking loads better than did. Also managed to fit my carbon rear diffuser and stock rear hockey sticks, have to say was fun few hours but managed to get it all fitted and together, not a job i want to do again if honest wasn't much fun doing in my garage, would of been breeze if had a ramp. Only bit have to finish is get some threaded bar from work to finish fitting rear of diffuser to anti roll bar mount brackets i made, also want to get some black bolts as the stainless ones stand out to much for my liking.
  20. sweet will def bring few baking trays and oven grill tray that we don't need, will also bring that wood and any more can fit in car
  21. We've got couple baking trays and an oven tray that don't use so happy to donate them to club kit as we don't want them back and its always good to pass stuff on rather than throw away
  22. I got this from wood today, can get loads more but cant get much in car with camping gear as have no boot in my supra....Cat not included lol
