50 pence, 20 pence, 50 pence, 20 pence... I know that's what my arse would have been doing.

for anyone at work that wants to access the site http://translate.google.com/# paste in the address and change the from language and you can access. a little trick we use at work. Although we work in i.t we have no control over the stupid proxy. god damn i hate my company. on the other hand nice words seems like a friendly place

Not sure on the cooling side of things i think it depends on the electric fan. I do know that they take up power from the engine to spin though. Wonder if anyone has done a comparison on power vs cooling on an electric vs Viscous

Save the money on spray and ditch the fan. Replace it with a electric

I would definitely make the sticky with them wheels

I'm using my old pc wheel for GT5 the old logitech Momo Force hehe works a treat. just can't use the shifter so have to use paddle flappys but not to much of an issue. force feedback rules

Hell yea bag over the head and all. Be reet.

Now that is a cool idea

I.t Support for crapita symonds... It's horrible haha but beggers can't be choosers i'm always on the lookout for something new shame there are no jobs up here really. I've been considering relocating but not sure where to.

Nice little project be good to see what motor you go with. Nice clean car to

Pm'd

SAFC any good to you or you need something with more features?

repost but agree'd horrible http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?237044-Quite-possibly-a-repost-Autotrader-atrocity.

Kill it with fire.

At least your ok, it could have been a lot worse like the back end come out and cause a crash so got of lucky. Still a bit crap about the wheel though Any idea what caused the blow out?

Not running one but i hear of cracking manifolds, Cracking exhaust side on turbo, bearing failure on turbo's. Granted this is all hearing of i've never seen it because well i've never seen anyone running one in person. Edit: no wait i remember my friend had an xspower t4 on his prelude and the turbo popped after 10 miles. This was 4 years ago though so maybe changed since then. Yet another Edit: Just looked at that post and i have to admit that car is impressive even if it is running xs gear.

Doh thats what i thought. New oil cooler time, Stupid small mocal thing haha. Cheers

Don't want to hijack the thread but what is the best an fitting for an oil cooler? i always thought mine was a bit small at -6 Back on topic: I've only just started to put an oil cooler on now that i'm going single. Although i have been meaning to put it on since i turned the boost up.

Its actually a bit annoying. trying to get traction from the line is a nightmare haha. Very fun though back end is happy to come out.

This was my dyno from my 1jz vvti this was only with 3" turbo back exhaust and 12/14psi (Ignore the blip that was the dyno)

Ahh yea i've been on that site good find though. I was scared of importing a manifold at the time hah. I'm happy enough now but that will be good info if someone wants to do more looks like a good mani to. So who's going to be the first on here to do a vvti swap thread of there own?

Unfortunatly the exhaust is completely different different head design. That was one of my options until i realised it couldnt be done. Although in total my manifold has only cost me £160 bargain.

Cool i've defo not seen any supra's with a 1j vvti conversion thats awesome. Your right with the manifold, i spent a good ammount of time looking for a good aftermarket one but there just not available in my price range from japan i think you can get them for 1k etc haha. I like the fact that this one is custom made means i know what has gone into it and that its not been rushed with crap welds etc. Although you can't tell now due to only spot welds to test haha. Shame about the box though. but at least you have a good one now thats the main thing. I tried to cut a corner when i bought that turbo. Then ended up spending £500 getting it rebuilt. Although better bearings and new wheels don't come cheap. As for power i'm not to sure yet. i'll be bringing it in slow but hoping for around 450 - 480 ish. First things are to see what the engine can do reliable if we fail and the bottom goes i'll be tempted to put a 2jz bottom end on and make a 1.5jz

You have a good point and the 154 is a bad ass box i've never seen any problems with them (Apart from your scrapper one it seems haha) What happened with the other box? just mashed up inside? Awesome should be a good weekend. I love Aristo's so be good to see yours in the flesh (Metal?)

Haha its always the weather. To bloomin cold or wet these days. Even in the garage it is freezing space heaters do fudge all. Ouch that sucks glad you got another one though be awesome with a manual in. did you go for the r154 or the v160? should get yourself up here when its all done and the racing is on or have some fun at suprapod hah.
