  1. A little too much won't hurt it, is the fluid cherry red or dark brown and smelling burnt?
  2. Before you part with these, please pop them on the scales! Interested to learn how the value of Supra plastic compares by weight to gold?
  3. Has the "30-years old" transmission ever been serviced? Have you checked the transmission fluid level? Have you inspected the colour/condition of the transmission fluid? Whatever, fix your brakes first!
  4. Cheers. Maybe we'll get that pint of wheat beer one of these years?
  5. Quite incredulous; that is exactly what I haven't said! For the convenience of Smartphone/iPad handicapped browsers.... Thank you for that fine example of supporting evidence for my case re. Modern Men's self inflicted inability!
  6. You would be better investing your pocket money in a greasy dirty LSD (A02B) diff to go underneath where it can't be seen, in preference to shiny shit offset wheels with stretched tyres to be slobbered on.
  7. Repairs to the Drivers side A Pillar could prove extensive? https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/pw/ACtC-3enlRu6jt1Bp5u1B1XzlqdOpXjrUOcKDM2TsCc90ZtvsND2Vc26cki5mwDXrmkygWxoEj92YXeyvtSUcptPPN_RY8Kab0VGwZfMGcF6uoGusj0V2CFl0yR-IZxqebrzzsK2dADp4DYShugPCSMLVgcNfA=w1301-h867-no?authuser=0
  8. Thank you for my Birthday Wishes. I'll cash them in at a Pub, if there's a Local that manages to economically survive Kung Flu? The first Birthday where I didn't meet with another person or speak to one in Old Money, this New Tomorrow is a bleak place.

    Here's the magic disappearing link and a Fanfare. https://www.fensport.co.uk/products/distributor-cap-supra-jza80-na-2jz-ge
  10. P.S. If it was diff prop-flange info & dimensions that you were after, there's a whole page about that in the Transmission Group. https://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/group.php?discussionid=129&do=discuss
  11. I can't remember who's Supra it was, yet once came across a small-case Torsen diff that had the larger sized driveshaft flanges, which didn't pair up to the driveshafts in the Supra that it was going into, so I just swapped the flanges with/from the small-case open diff that had just been taken out. After which, I never got around to wondering about this enough to inspire my Nerd instinct into researching as to why? Even-so, this does reveal that larger driveshaft flanges are not exclusive to large-case diffs.
  12. That's a Pukka Tech answer that deserves to be in "Technical" as a rare resolved thread? I admit that I fancy stealing borrowing those pics for posterity in the Transmission Group.
  13. An iPad falls somewhere in between the Devil & the Deep Blue Sea! It has a larger letterbox through which to paint the QE2 and larger text buttons that are not quite as tedious to use as a Smartphone. For me, it's a Smartphone for the visually impaired. However, in the great scheme of things, it's a Gay contraption that's neither arsehole nor breakfast?
  14. Yank-ism can degenerate this subject into confusion, because they call both types of shafts driveshafts. Diff prop-shaft flange. This comes in two different sizes, N/A Supra has the smaller size and all T.T. Supra's have the larger size, which has been all the info I have ever needed. I have never measured either but the larger one is around 10mm more between bolt holes. Diff drive-shaft flanges. These too come in two different sizes, but I have yet to identify which, where and why and have never measured the difference? Either/or, each flange is interchangeable from one diff to another.
  15. Without indication that anyone has actually read the information linked? A satirical presentation of reality in an environment where this is commonly denied and humour a concept fearful to many... Smartphones don’t press their own buttons, some have their buttons pressed by very smart people, nevertheless, others have their buttons pressed by persons less-so and is the other element of this equation. Notwithstanding, Modern Men also lurk in unjustifiable guises manifold; including: The Lazy; who despite at least 12 years of schooling can still barely write in their native language. (Doesn’t help the forum) The Greedy; who have learned that auctions are against the rules, so alternatively, hold Dutch auctions. (Definitely doesn’t help the forum) The Ignorant; who ask technical questions yet don’t give a thank you for answers given and/or don't add resolution to their thread for benefit of others. (Consistently detrimental for the forum) The Selfish; who mostly/only take and rarely/never give. (Consistently parasitic to the forum) The Immoral; for whom money overrides each & every consideration. (We have all had enough of this ilk) The Apathetic; who couldn’t give a toss. (Worthless to all) The Humourless; who blame their immaturity onto Political Correctness. (Sad Bastards are a negative influence anywhere) A successful Club requires equilibrium between Contribution & Reward. The most successful Clubs are those that have more giving than taking. The least successful Clubs are those that have more taking and less giving. With the poll at a so-far less-than fulfilling 47; it presently shows that over time posting has degenerated from 100% PC or Laptop, to around 64% PC or Laptop / 36% Smartphone. However, it is reasonably probable that the majority of non poll-ers could be; Apathetic, Immoral, Ignorant, Lazy, Selfish, Greedy, and/or Humourless predominantly Smartphone posters? Resulting with the equation; ( Smartphones )........( Humour ) ..( Fuc#w!ts ).... x .( Sad Bastards )
  16. Probably a result of Covid 19 and staff working from home?
  17. I used the clock-spring from a Tiptronic VVTi, which without an airbag in the boss is maxed out with the wires for the horn, cruise-control, flappy-paddles and a change-up LED. Gear indicator and torque-converter lock-up LED's are on the dash. Change-up light shown action here, the gear indicator lights however, were causing a feedback issue with the crank position sensor, so at this time were unplugged. Gear-change lights shown in action here; with stock gear-change speed. (Before I shimmed up the accumulators and fitted the Supercharger)
  18. There can be little doubt this equation is connected and according to statistics, the majority of forum members will be Nomophobic. Whether you can be bothered to read the supporting evidence of this or not, please indicate your posting practice in the poll. Please post comment on this matter, after you have read this post and the attached links. Thank you Due to the smartphone small screen, lengthy text becomes too tedious for many to bother reading, exacerbated by the fact that using mobile phones for text reduces human concentration span to less than that of a goldfish. Entering text into a smartphone is also tedious and consequently, context is often minimalised, exacerbated by minimalised use of correct grammar results with barely legible content and predictive text can make it complete gibberish. With less legible content, less reading, less concentration and less understanding, inevitably results with less interest. This is all proven fact and which is detailed in the links I have provided. However, these will be too much text for most smartphone users to be bothered to read and also beyond a reduced concentration span. These proven facts however, may be flatly denied or more likely, completely ignored by Nomophobics and which are the expected response(s) from addicts who will avoid addressing their addiction at any cost. Nomophobia might not yet be classified as an official mental health condition; however, experts agree this issue of the technology age is a growing concern that can affect mental health.

  19. If you manage to forget how to spell "CW", you may be at risk of getting "Expired".
  20. "TiAL", your Supra acronyms will be a lot easier after you get that "CW" stuff nailed on.
  21. Alternatively, two brand new Tremec Magnums? https://roadcraftuk.co.uk/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=734
  22. Club Meets must be full of fun these days! Looking at that table, maybe Ganador mirrors are now worth more than Gold-Pressed Latinum?
  23. We are beginning to suspect that he has been eaten by rats?
