Christmas cancelled in Gibraltar - the ‘most vaccinated’ place in the world. https://www.standard.co.uk/news/world/christmas-cancelled-gibraltar-vaccinations-b966816.html

When governments decide to fight a virus with mixture of totalitarianism and communism and members of society are happy to conform then something has gone seriously awry.

FDA Wants to Wait Until 2076 to Fully Release Pfizer Coronavirus Vaccine Data https://www.sirillp.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/020-Second-Joint-Status-Report-8989f1fed17e2d919391d8df1978006e.pdf

So sorry to read this. It highlights why transparency and freedom of choice is paramount. No government has the right to claim sovereignty over our bodies.

Hot off the press and food for thought… https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(21)02243-1/fulltext?fbclid=IwAR380gKn-PQkq5ZzK_SVIbT8cTDwFsLehKh6o0wFsFtwXNCpJjZMvtAiUhM

So it starts. Can someone remind me where that bloke with the funny walk and little moustache came from again. https://www.express.co.uk/news/world/1521871/austria-lockdown-news-police-vaccine-passport-checks-video-coronavirus-latest-vn https://www.politico.eu/article/austria-mandatory-coronavirus-vaccination-february/?fbclid=IwAR3RWscsyoP5hUNOfh26qpUay1Tsm2nSf-153Xq2IUY2IaBiPzAy-SI11Gc

If the capital has gone that is what loans are for, cards too! Failing that beg, borrow & steal. It is an investment after all. Must be a good feeling to be where you are now with her.

Sounds the dogs danglies, when is the supercharger being fitted?

IIRC there was a guy on the US Supraforums who made and sold these but this is going back quite a few years now. It might be worth your while trying to seek him out.

It’s a very ingenious copy with some nice modern touches.

That’s not what I meant. Obviously didn’t put it across properly. A well executed body kitted Supra can be a thing of beauty but as with all things, unless you have an endless pot of gold, are “in the trade” or can DIY most are limited. Even then it can be a minefield with personal tastes. Stock with accents can be just as troublesome and even worse when there is less to f#ck up. Top Secret - TRD -

Bodging it together with a big hammer, what’s wrong with duck tape? Sticks like sh#t works wonders too, especially on engine leaks…

A cast manifold is where the deep note comes from and the metal the exhaust is made from will influence this too. How you make the exhaust gases resonate is key if you’re looking for a particular sound. Cast manifold = deep sound Tubular manifold = higher pitched sound (reminds me somewhat of F1) If you want a lope at idle you need silly cams which will ruin drivability if they don’t match your power level.

I’m pretty sure you can mix synthetic and conventional without an issue. I put Fuchs Titan ATF 4400 Ultra High Performance in the tiptronic box. It works a treat, what ever that is worth. Speak with Opie Oils - https://www.opieoils.co.uk an ex forum trader. They know their apples so will be able to advise you 100%. Lucas Transmission Fix (Stops Slip) is also a good addition when doing an oil change. When refitting the pan make sure you use a small amount of gasket sealant (Loctite Grey SI 5660 to be precise) as you don’t want it going inside the pan. Make sure both surfaces are spotless. If the pan does leak (no reason why is should) don’t be tempted to fit a gasket (you can buy them) as it’s only a temp fix and will start to leak and then warp the mating faces. Careful not to over tighten the sump bolts, think they need 6 ftlb maybe a little more but not a lot. If fitting a temp sensor for the box (very good idea btw) make sure it’s in the bottom of the sump, where the plug goes. You can also drill and tap for a sump magnet if you want to be super cautious. Nice mechanical gauges like stack are very accurate.

Credit where credit is due, this forum owes a lot to Mr P.Especially us autoboxers. He always put up results and his endless tinkering has been a real lifesaver.

@tayr A full flush is a good idea, new filter too. How is the pan holding up? Any leaks? If you are going for a full flush, you could fit the deeper transmission pan and a decent in-line oil cooler (with thermostat) to future proof.
