apparently they do which is why my mate was asking but id not heard of it so thought id ask to see on here for him

Yeah iv gained quite alot of clearance mate, il measure it when I get home but its got to be close to 10mm more clearance compared to UKs

Thanks mate mainly for show use in all honesty as I like the look of them but from a functional point of view alot of people have given them glowing references so thought they seemed to be a good way to go

Hi all, I have been asked by a friend if a 1994 JZA80 JDM auto mk4 Supra would have M9 torque converter bolts? does anyone here know?

Dragonball done and car performed brilliantly with no issues at all just got a few sensors to fit now and full mapping is a week today Also when back from Dragonball I swapped out my UK fronts for K Sports...

Same views here, had an awesome weekend and thanks to everyone for making it so enjoyable and of corse to Branners and Burna for their work in arranging it. Was my first ever Dragonball and definitely will be along again

Probably between 10pm and 11pm here, couldn't get down any earlier unfortunately

Good man

Changed my money ready

Good to see her getting the attention she deserves, keep the updates coming

Awesome weather we had over the weekend and run in period finished Picture update of my weekend… Saturday was a Supra cleaning day… (excuse the front bumper on the black one, still needs respraying after changing the splitter) Sunday was Japfest at Silverstone so was excited to be parked on show and shine for this event (until we arrived and seen that they stuffed show and shine outside of the track in an attempt to make the show bigger and to attract people to go outside of the track, which didn’t work)… And to make things worse I didn’t read all the pdf attachments from the confirmation email thoroughly enough (my bad) and was given no guidance while at the event so I wasn’t aware that I was supposed to be with my car at 13:45 to be escorted on a parade lap (round the show not the track) with the other show and shine competitors to finish in an arena where they done the judging for show and shine so after parking up on show and shine all day I missed any potential chance of winning anything. Then the usual stopping place in any journey… After the additional miles accumulated over the weekend I had reached my run in total so yesterday she found herself back in the shed where she spent so long in… Out with the old… And in with the new…

I have UK spec fronts that will be available soon depending when your wanting them by

Cant wait

Just made a post about it as seen a few people asking lately feel free to ask any questions http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?348612-Wheel-Offsets-and-how-to-work-out-what-you-need

Iv noticed a few threads of late asking about how to work out what size of wheels and offsets they need and asking for help as they don't know how to work it out, well I have found myself with a free 10 minutes so i'm here to help... The offset (seen labelled as "et" when ordering wheels for example 18x10et12 where 12 would be the offset or it could be a simple plus sign) is a measurement between the face of the hub and the centre of the wheel. Below I have used the knocked up a quick sketch of the same size wheel, tyre and hub setup but with a different wheel offset to show what I mean. You can see that the 18 inch diameter and the 10 inch width is the same on both diagrams but because of the offset changing it has changed the dimensions of how far it sticks out from the hub... in this example we have an increased offset of 23mm (from et12 to et35) on the right hand diagram that means that there is 23mm more in distance from the face of the hub to the centreline of the wheel so as the centreline of the wheel is further inwards to the car than the face of the hub increasing this measurement by 23mm will bring the wheel 23mm inwards in the wheel arch. In reverse action you could have a wheel with a lesser measurement for the offset and this would bring the centreline of the wheel closer to the face of the hub which would bring the wheel out to stick further out in your wheel arch. The example below shows that with an offset of 12mm in this size wheel the outside edge of the wheel sticks out 115mm from the outside of the face of the hub and where the same size wheel has an offset of 35mm it only sticks out by 92mm as it has been brought inwards 23mm by the centreline of the wheel being 35mm inside of the face of the hun rather than only 12mm inside the face of the hub. When working out the size that you want if you can find out the size of the wheels with offsets of what you currently have on your car you can then measure how much you want your new wheels to stick out or go back in compared to your existing wheels and order the correct offset for your new wheels knowing that they will sit perfect in the placements that you want There are plenty of handy links like this one here which is a tyre/wheel size comparison so you can see how your new wheels would sit in relation to your existing setup but it is nice to know the details of how this is worked out so you understand why you are ordering what you are ordering Just to add to the useful information on this post the standard MKIV Supra wheel sizes are below just so you have a starting point to see if you have no idea what yours are: Front 17x8et50 (with 235/45/17 tyres) Rear 17x9.5et50 (with 255/40/17 tyres) or Front 16x8et50 (with 225/50/16 tyres) Rear 16x9et50 (with 245/50/16 tyres) And the tyres sizes to wheel sizes you want is depending upon what use you are using your Supra for but a guideline would be: Remember that the narrower in this chart that you go the more "stretched" your tyres will be and the wider in this chart you go then the more "mushroomed" your tyres will be (the link above for the offset calculator also shows tyres sizes so you can use that link for tyres too). Hope this helps a few people understand more about your wheel/tyre setup sizes and im always happy to answer any questions or help anyone out who doesn't understand P.s. Mods I didn't know which section to put this thread in so feel free to move it to technical or FAQ's or wherever you see fit

Just paid now bud

Seen this on facebook so just came on to put the link up but you beat me to it lol

Thanks mate Cheers mate yeah definitely, off to Silverstone this sunday too and weathers supposed to be nice so should be a good drive

Depends if your wanting 2D or 3D? if 2D then draftsight made by dassault systems (the same people that make SolidWorks and Catia) is a great program, its kind of a slightly more basic version of AutoCAD

Not really an update a such but got a good amount of run in miles done now and all is going well so far, felt great taking it to Santa Pod this weekend for its first show since the rebuild and down to Ace Cafe afterwards, here's the pics... Arrived at Santa Pod and cleaned her up... Left Santa Pod and went down to Ace Cafe for the Supra meet... Plenty of these stops along the way...

A friend from work spotted M80SUP on the motorway just over a week ago (on the sunday he thinks) and he asked me if I knew who it was...

I kind of forgot to take many photo's to be honest as was just catching up with people but here's what I have...

Thanks for organising it Shane was great to meet a few new faces and speak to a few people I dont get chance to see regularly so I had a great night Nice photo's Jazz some very nice Supra's that came

Does this mean that somewhere out there is a Hog running around nice and safe?
