Its purely for sound deadening. Soon as i buy a car its the first thing i remove.

I believe the very earliest J-Spec cars with the 17" wheels option had wheels with no fins. I think all export cars and imports from late 93 onwards had the fins in the wheels. Revision of the wheel by toyota, no idea why. Perhaps they were worried and decided to strengthen them? Typical Toyota over-engineering.

I think i've seen this driving around... thought the spoiler looked a little weird but couldnt figure out what it was from the angle i saw it...

Why not get a replica TRD Gen2 from ebay? one seller is flogging them for £199 + £8.50 postage! http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/TOYOTA-SUPRA-MK4-2JZGTE-TURBO-CAT-BACK-EXHAUST-SYSTEM_W0QQitemZ180381605506QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM?hash=item29ff94de82&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14 Fitment: Toyota Supra JZA80 1993-1998 Twin Turbo & N/T, UK & Import I'm gonna get one this month hopefully, it'll go very nicely with my manifold i just bought. A mate has one of these although he got it from XS Power (identical exhaust with different badge, Motoria, Jap Speed, AutoBahn88 all the same) and its built really well. Forget about the bad things people say about XS Power stuff. I've yet to see bad XS Power parts (except their wastegates).

Yes i am a little worried how loud this system will be once finished May need to fashion a silencer or two...

I sold a mk2 supra w58 a few years ago for £30....so i think he does actually mean £60-80... £600-800 is way more than a W58 is worth, when I could pick up a V160 for £1300. M5W TT - Do you think i should be looking to spend around £100 then on a W58? Would you say thats the going rate?

Just the box. I've already picked up all the conversion stuff. The only 2 things that im missing are a flywheel and the actual box itself. If the going rate is actually £60-80 then sod £300

Hummm i've heard some people have a nightmare with these and some have them go straight on without worries. I guess they all vary slightly in shape/angle when they are manufactured. Oh well i'll see whats what when it turns up Just out of curiosity how much did yours cost you? (seeing if i got a good deal)

Finally found a few today... Been offered one for £315 delivered and he'll throw the flywheel in for free... What do you guys think? Its hard to tell what they are worth as prices vary so much.

I've just picked one up, can anyone tell me in more detail what kind of modification i need to do to it to get it to fit a RHD car? Cheers

Tell me about it....after it went in for some work i had a... Leaking Brake Calliper Leaking Fuel Rail - Nice and safe to drive that! Front bumper hanging on without any screws... Those are the top 3 of a list as long as my arm..... They bodged up my car so bad i sold it as i kept finding more and more bodges...

Well im not mentioning names... im not sure where they are based now or if they even exist anymore....but they used to work out of a unit in Baisingstoke if its the same one im thinking of

Is there anywhere i can get the Autobahn 88 manifold other than US websites? Also what is considered the better manifold out of the two? The Autobahn or the OBX? I'd assume from the reviews the Autobahn is the better choice?

Mine has never leaked. Every time i wash the car i spray the seals with halfords silicone spray - keeps em like new

Just thought i'd add that im going down this route also at the moment. Im rebuilding a 99 2JZ-GE VVTI for high RPM and high power. Head is being reworked with larger valves, titanium springs. Going for maximum flow. Crank is being rebalanced, stronger rods and pistons, lightened pulleys and electric waterpump. Long duration cams with adjustable gears. M3 Throttle Bodies. Im looking at revving it to 8500rpm where im hoping i'll make some serious NA power. I've been looking for an aftermarket manifold for a while now so this OBX system interests me a lot. So you had to modify it to clear the steering? Hummmm, it looks very close though. This could cause contact given a hard corner or heavy load. This is my only concern. Also im keeping the stock airbox. The INJen looks cool but its something i think that belongs on honda's. The stock box will allow enough air flow for a 500bhp twin turbo, so there really is zero benefit of removing the stock box. I've gone with just a simple Blitz SUS Panel filter, not because i thought there would be a performance gain but more to make sure i had a decent filter in there. Otherwise good write up and i'm going to keep a eye on this

I think i know who you mean.....maybe it wasnt their fault that it had different size bolts on.....but to be honest they are that pikey that i wouldnt put it past them.....

Cool, that makes sense. Well in that case i'll go with the newest revision number Cheers Darryl

Hi guys, I've got three NA Manual ECU's at home ready for my manual swap. They are all pre-facelift but im not sure which to use. I doubt it matters but the reason im asking is that my car has no ABS so im guessing an ECU for an ABS car will throw an engine light? So therefore if one of my ecu's is non abs i'll go for that one. Anyone got any idea's? EPC doesnt really tell me anything... TOYOTA 89661 - 14610 175700 - 4771 12V I've also got a 175700 - 4772 & 175700 - 4773

Secret to avoiding the red ring of death on an xbox 360 - always unplug it from the wall when not in use.... On my 3rd 360...this one has never let me down and its only plugged in when i use it.

Sorry slightly off topic...dont mean to hijack the thread...but...Speaking of pressures... On the TRD Bonnet are the 4 vent supposed to draw in air or release it? When im sitting in traffic loads of heat escapes up through the vents which are actually right above the engine fan. I think its supposed to push air out, but at motorway speeds i wonder if it still pushes air out or whether air begins getting sucked in.

I got a Sony Ericsson Xperia X1. Runs Windows Mobile 6 (WinCE). I can watch ripped DVD's on it as it has a high res wide screen. Runs most windows CE applications fine. I've been testing out a few freeware emulators for winCE on it. Got an N64 emulator, kinda strange seeing SuperMario64 and Goldeneye on your mobile phone.... Its great if you want to surf the net, run applications or remote desktop to servers etc... But as a phone....i miss having a Nokia. Simplicity rules. Although i am tempted by an Android based phone...

I've currently got 235/45/17 pilot sports on the front but once they wear out i'll up them to 245/45/17 Kumho's so i have the same brand all round. I drove to work with the new rears on today. There were a little slippery last night when i went to the Reading Jap Meet but today they feel awesome.

Had a UK car once before....didnt like horns or the vent. I think they look too 'stuck on' as an afterthought. Without them it makes the car far more sleeker and neater.

Hey chaps, Again, done a search but cant find the answer. The official pressue (as far as im aware) for the stock 17's is 36psi all round. Please correct me if im wrong. I've just removed the 255's from my rears and they were worn down to the camber in the middle where as the outside edges seems to have some life left in them. This suggests over inflation even though i've always kept them bang on at 36psi. Possibly due to my car being an NA? Less weight? Anyway i replaced them today with some 275/40/17 Kumho KU31's. Anyone got any suggestions what PSI i should be running? The garage filled them to 32psi, i thought i'd leave them at that and see how i get on unless anyone thinks thats too low? Im guessing a wider tyre needs less pressure as it has more surface area? Cheers Lee

Thats nuts! Auto diffs are usually really low final as there is only 4 gears....crazy! Oh well thanks for that guys. Looks like i dont need to worry about the driveshafts after all. On a side note how to you test a diff to make sure its LSD? I bought a standard toyota n/a 5 speed LSD off Chazuk, i have no reason to believe it isnt an LSD. But when i bought it off him we were moving the gears and it moved one wheel the opposite way to the other just like a normal open diff. Any particular way im supposed to move them to show its an LSD?
