It’s Mr P’s sense of humour, just a little too dry for your liking If he has something to say he is never backwards in coming forward and there can’t ever be any mistaking his displeasure.

Supra Big Brake calipers no longer discontinued?

Cue a glut of second hand sets suddenly becoming available for 1K to cover the cost of people importing brand new sets -

That surprises you? They are one of, if not the most expensive trader in the UK to use for Supra parts. Not competitive in the slightest. It’s probably Elmhurst Toyota in the US. -
There is a lot more to building for response & torque than a stroker kit but if your pockets are deep enough and you can afford the stripdown & rebuilds why not. There is an age-old axiom which goes, there's no replacement for displacement. But best bang for buck it isn’t. First thing I would be doing is getting shot of that hi-stall and going back to stock unless you only intend to run 1/4 drag races. That slippage is very high, creating unnecessary heat and wasting power. If you don’t mind me asking who rebuilt the Titan box? The reason I ask is because the strengthened parts (the ones that are known to fail) are proprietary to the trader that sells them. To the best of my knowledge there isn’t one UK trader who has their auto boxes run at high torque and hammered run after run on a regular basis. I’d be very cautious running a rebuilt box unless the work was carried out stateside. Do you know what clutch packs were used in the rebuild? How many coolers are you running and what size? Are you running an in-line thermostat for the coolers? You managed to sort those traction issues out then? No good having power then being destroyed by a standard R35 which cost less money if you still can’t put the power down

That’s because everyone is so concerned with chasing HP at the expense of torque. They much prefer the ego massaging, overinflated rolling road figures

Yes, they make them to suit everything from a 3.0, 3.2 and 3.4. They were around 4K for the crank when I last looked into the stroker kits a couple of years ago. An off the shelf kit is okay but it’s much better to put your own together. Not a cheap option but if you are serious about torque and want to do things properly it’s the way to go. Especially with VVT-i. Your limiting factor is going to be the Titan box Mark fitted.

Winberg crankshaft if you want the best money can buy.

Not sure, all I can remember from my university days is that UV can heightens the body’s immune response, has anti infection effects and helps with oxygenation of tissues.

That’s good as I had heard you liked more than one at a time

Is this what is classed as a deep clean? Same sort of thing done by the military? There is an unverified image floating around the net that shows a system set up similar to a dialysis machine with the blood running past/through a UV light. Might be an artists interpretation

You asked for hardware in your op hence the link So what is it you want to do? Make the car wheelie or stop it from doing that?

Stay auto, build the box for more power and be quicker than the manuals
-
What about an older MoTeC? Something like the M800. If I remember your box is running via the SS so you could easily make it run with something like that I would have thought.

You say that but Trump supporters, just like Brexit supporters are treated with contempt and labelled with extreme terminology. They are deliberately dehumanised. Not sure what to make of it in all honesty, time will tell. There aren’t enough sources to cross reference at the moment, most “news” on this subject seems to be a rehashed version of the original story from a paper with a slanted bias. There was me trying to be nice about these liberal outlets and you go and post this! [video=youtube;-n4Ed9SD4Q0]

Having not looked too much into this yet, as Chief Adviser being sat there in a supposed listening capacity I can’t see that he won’t be taking notes then going back to Borris to advise of his findings. But that is just on the face of it, more delving is needed to come up with a decent idea of what is going on and why.

Not so much informative as pretty worrying. Especially if this sort of editing to completely twist and retell a story is considered acceptable and in the public interest by one on the worlds largest news agencies. This is something that needs a serious look at by the press complaints commission as it’s propaganda Goebbels would have been proud of. It isn’t just Trump that mentioned it’s potential use and the fact it’s a drug that is used worldwide I find it hard to apportion blame solely to him. He can’t be responsible for the idiots out there who choose to self medicate due to the media’s scaremonger tactics. Now if it could be proven that one of the hydroxychloroquine manufacturers had approached him behind the scenes and offered him a back hander for the recommendation that would be a different story. If there is any truth behind this feathering of his nest, he isn’t alone. Take the Clinton’s then Obama the list goes on and involves many so why pick on him. If he was alone in this and every other President before him was squeaky clean then I could understand this constant need to make him look bad but the truth of the matter he isn’t. The only people looking to persecute him are those with a left and liberal leaning bias. ABC/CNBC are known to have a slight to moderate liberal bias. They often publish factual information that utilises loaded words to influence an audience by appealing to emotion or stereotypes to favor liberal causes. Their sources are generally trustworthy for information but they most definitely require further investigation. Regarding the Forbes article; “We were afraid of getting sick,” she told NBC News. The woman, age 61, and her husband, 68, were healthy and had no underlying conditions, but they were worried about catching the virus. She had recognized the name “chloroquine” when she heard Trump say it because she had used it to treat her Koi fish. They each mixed 1 teaspoon of the chloroquine phosphate with soda. Within 20 minutes, the woman began vomiting and her husband had trouble breathing. The woman called paramedics, and the couple were admitted to a Banner Health hospital. If people choose to self medicate with no training or understanding of the potential consequences there is very little that can be done to fix stupid. Taking this to the extreme, if he had said jumping off a cliff was also a cure would it be his fault if people tried it? Considering most people label Trump supporters as thick racists I don’t see what the problem is.

I’m not saying you are but by reposting the videos that have been edited together from an hours conference to misrepresent due to apposing political views just adds more fuel to the fire and further spreads the misinformation. It’s hard to see what impact Trump will have on any of our lives, I would hope very little to none in all honesty as he isn’t English. It’s the same reason I wanted out of Europe. What can’t be denied is that he is an American, in fact the first American president who hasn’t allowed himself to be controlled by unseen puppets unlike Obama and the Clintons. He has put America first, above everything else. Something I feel every country should do. Once your own house is in order, then you can look to help others. He doesn’t seem to understand what power or impact his words have to those who hang on every word that falls from his mouth but if people are prepared to blindly follow any politician without doing their own research then is he really to blame? That verges on ending free speech. Something I am not a fan of. How have people died from his statements? That is a very strong claim. If that is a fact I would expect it to be common knowledge. PS Have you watched that video yet?
