if you dont like his i have some 17 inch BBS that were up for sale with good tyres. Fit over uk brakes also. Let me know how much extra you would want pics here http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=135878 they are staggered, 8.5 and 9.5

bummer, need a driver side.

thats a nearside, passenger side??? if you have a drivers side like that i will have it.

i am putting it on a 13b, i need the exhaust a/r

which a/r is 70?, front (compressor housing) or rear (turbine housing) silver ali bit is front, cast iron rusty/black bit is rear

they are £25 on ebay, that may be why you have not had much interest.

do you have any specs for the turbo? ie a/r ratios and a ball park figure

i would also like price please

you have PM

thats is geat, worrying how so many just fell over! That bloke that fell out of his beetle made me laugh I'll be introducing the supra to the ring at easter hopefully she wont fall over and i'll stay in it

i'd climb over you to get to her........... and i dont even know what you lood like:blink:

i think flips comments just about cover it. everyone needs a bit of rx7 in their life to make them feel special, but its like going out with britney spears, once a month is enough, any more and you get p1ssed off with her. As for the poor design bit, you are soooo way off, look at cerbera's, scoobys, skylines, lotus esprit's, they are all cars with wonderful powerful engines that are also sh1te and need rebuilding regularly. As for looks, supra equals Dawn French, RX7 equals Cameron Diaz so there :p

there are some very good points made above, and lots that i agree with, build quality on newer ones is unfortunately poor, especially interiors. A 1st gen 1984 car will have a better interior than a 1999 spec car with half the miles on it. Engines, you have to bear in mind its a small engine and the first 13bs only had 140 bhp, people stick turbos on them and now expect 500 bhp, the engines are tiny and havent changed in design since the 70s hardly at all. The most significat channges werein the rx8 and they were only small ones. Good point about r&d, would be interesting to see how good they would be if everybody had made them. The reason I am sticking with the rotary in my kit is because i rebuild them and modify them myself. the advice i always give to people who want an rx7 but cant or dont do anything themselves is forget about it, buy a supra , as they are not necessarily fragile, the word i like to use is sensitive. The air, water and oil temps have to be spot on, the mapping has to be good and boost levels have to be accurate, the fuel has to be good and so does the fuel system. They have a bad rep because people just wind up the boost and expect them to take it, or rag them when too cold or too hot, a supra will take it an rx7 wont. If you run your rx7 at stock power they will last quite well, but its comparable to a cossie, run it 450bhp and it wont last very long, run it at 250 and it will last for ever, i think people expect too much from the little rotory. We have a built a 3 rotor FD and it runs 500 RWHP at only 0.85 bar with a gt45 hybrid turbo, that should (fingers crossed) last quite well. cant afford to drive as it does anbout 9mpg. The N/A supra has 230 odd hp, a 100 more than an N/A rotary already. Rebuilds are cheap if you do them yourself, circa £400 for new bits from mazda and a complete block can cost as little £200. Take your own engine to a tuner and they want 3-4 k, if mine only lasted a yeat at 450 fwhp i would be happy. By the way, i dont talk pub figures, i talk dynno figures, i use the same dyno everytime. Just in case the pub talk comment was aimed at me. A car with stock twins is a pig to diagnose problems and not easy to work on but once its converted to single, they really are easy to work on and as long as you can put up with the fuel, noise and heavy clutch it will last well if all the parameters are kept in check. I drove mine to the several times with no problems. I know exactly what you mean about looking at the gauges all the time. I dont think there is any comaprison as a road car, the supra does everything better except the looks. A stock rex against a stock supra, the rex wins hands down. As for a track car, I would have a rex, the 2 years i had mine as a track car were great fun and i pulled the original engine and sold it as working engine at the end of 2 years. that was bouncing off the 8k rev limiter for an hour at a time on track. I drove it like i stole it as it was cheap for me to fix and wasnt a daily driver so i didnt care. £ for £, i could build an rx7 that would out perform a supra on track costing twice as much to build. Some one with knowledge on supras could say the same about supra's. Difference is you wouldnt mind driving the supra to work, where the rex would sit in the garage all week as mine did. all of the above is my opinion only and from my perspective of being able to build and modify rotaries myself which makes them cheaper for me. I wish the rx7 build quality was the same as a supra, out of interest, anyone know what the cost of the cars was new to compare them? 3 rotor!

again its opinons but my last one looked loverly

hi, i'm not going to get into a bun fight, i dont have any loyalties to any cars, they all have good trates and bad trates. Please read my post, i specifically said i 'think' I have done more track days than i can remember and my last track RX7 had just under 500 bhp and was fantastic but no where near as practible as the supra or controllable as the twin turbo rx7 but i used to love shredding rear tyres and going sideways. I think a single supra would be the same. I have just bought a stock supra and love it as an all round road car, but i didnt buy it to go on track, i have a kit car with soon to be 650 bhp per tonne, i bought the supra as a road car which it does very well, it also drifts very well as i found out on wednesday at the pod. As for you tube vids, i dont get it, you can find you tube vids with VW beetles going round a track, doesnt mean they are good. Also, anything can be good if you throw enough money at it. What i'm getting at is you can stick a big single on it and get 50% more power but it wont make 50% quicker. As i said, i have owned lots of Dynoed 400 - 500 bhp cars of different kinds most of which built by myself and driven by myself, i have an idea of what i THINK and what i like, they are my opinions only. I dont expect you to agree. out of interest, have you been on a track in a 500 bhp rx7? i think you may be impressed, driving it to the nurburgring is a different story though. I'm sure the wifes ears wont bleed quite as much when i take in the supra next month unlike they did in the rx7. BTW, hi paul, hows things?, you thinking of getting the right car to go with that engine you got in your saloon. taken last wednesday, only had the car a week so still gtting used to it.

i have had RX7s for the last 15 years and still have a kit car with a 13b turbo in it. The RX7 is much more composed and agile than a supra. The noise may sound nice for a short while but any big power rex get annoyingly lound and they tend to drone at cruising speeds which can get annoying. I wouldnt have a rex as a daily driver. I have had big singles but my last one was probably the equivelent of a supra on BPUs. It was still on twins. I could get high 12's on the 1/4 at about 110 mph on road tyres. It was dynoed at 300 rwhp at 0.9 bar. stock injectors, just exhaust, v mount i/c fuel pump and apexi P FC. The pull of a big single rx7 is sooo addictive and 450 bhp is quite easy to achieve but the twins are soo civilised and no lag at all, you could put a car on twins up against a single turbo rx with 100 more bhp and the twins would keep up on a medium ish track. I have only been in 1 single turbo supra and i much prefer my stock supra on twins as a road/track/drift car, i think singles work well on the 1/4 if thats your thing, RX7 handling is out of this world if set up right and feels like a race car, brakes are fantastic as the car is a lot lighter but again if set up right. I do miss the 8500 redline though A supra is much nicer to drive on the road as its quieter inside with equivalent mods. a much better all round car even though its the first time in 15 yars i havee been without an rx7 and i have only had my sup for 9 days.

is the fuel cut def still fo rsale?, if so how much?

harsh! i have just come from an RX7, well 7 in fact, here is my last one. RX7's are great cars but are very sensitive, you cant just take the cat out or wind the boost up, they will det and thats it, engine rebuild, I am using a rotary in my kit car track toy as the engines are so cheap to build and get power ot of. I used a 2nd gen with porting and a big single turbo, it ran 460 flyhp for 2 years and was only used for track/drift and drag plus several trips to the ring, it ran 12.2 at 120mph at rotorstock but really came into its own track. The rx7 FD is a much prettier car than the supra and much more nimble but i can see why people who dont know them would find them annoying! I have just bought a stockish 6speed TT and its a very nice car and much more practicle for the road and doesnt make your ears bleed but lacks the flare and the 8k rpm redline. But in fairness, i am comparing a stock supra with what is to most people a heavily modded rx7, if the supra had everything the Rx7s that i have owned then it may be a different story. The black one was my last one with 350 flyhp on stock twins. The red one was the car before that which i loved and kinda regret selling, but thats probably cos i am still a long way off getting the kit running but when its done 350 hp in a car weighing 650 kg should make up for it!

impressive stuff, what does TTC stand for?, I assume that it means non sequential

i think i would prefer the supercharged version, those turbos look distinctly 'add hoc' with what looks like the intake pipes running side by side with the exhaust pipe.

i definately have uk fronts, what do J spec rears look like, are they a sliding single sider? I would like prices for pads, i will look tonight but i'm sure they are the uk rears also. I'm going to the ring soon so i need something that will take a little abuse.

How can i tell if i have uk or j spec rears?, also what pads do you guys recomend for fast road/ mild track day use with BPU's?

Thanks for the reply, how big (rows) is your kit ?

Paul, Does your oil cooler kit inlclude a thermostat? is it the greddy one?

I am considering fitting an oil cooler in the place of the stock I/C, when I fit a FMIC. I would like to do the odd track day. Do you guys recomend any ? Does the car have an oil cooler as standard?, its a J spec manual I have come from rx7's which all have oil coolers, there is a thermostat which only allows the oil to pass through the cooler when its hot as the oil is to thick when cold to pass through, it also helps to warm the car up quicker for emmissions. I have sen this kit http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Oil-Cooler-Kit-Toyota-MR2-Paseo-Supra-Yaris-Carina-gti_W0QQitemZ250201379372QQihZ015QQcategoryZ72205QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem but there is no thermostat in the kit. Any help or advice appreciated.
