  1. After 5speed gearbox w58 for mkiv - mate needs it asap. Cheers
  2. price/cond/milage of gearbox (dibbs if Dr jekyll doesnt want it) prepared to pick up asap.
  3. I was cackin myself i thought there was summit wrong with my supra....ah well - Still baffles me how it was designed like this , for the wheel with grip to stay still and wheel without grip moves....would be better otherway around - ah well joys of the snow
  4. Just found definition on wikipedia: The main advantage of a limited slip differential is shown by considering the case of a standard (or "open") differential where one wheel has no contact with the ground at all. In such a case, the contacting wheel will remain stationary, and the non-contacting wheel will rotate freely—the torque transmitted will be equal at both wheels, but will not exceed the threshold of torque needed to move the vehicle, and thus the vehicle will remain stationary. In everyday use on typical roads, such a situation is very unlikely, and so a normal differential suffices. For more demanding use, such as driving in mud, off-road, or for high performance vehicles, such a state of affairs is undesirable, and the LSD can be employed to deal with it. By limiting the angular velocity difference between a pair of driven wheels, useful torque can be transmitted as long as there is some traction available on at least one of the wheels.
  5. Its so annoying lol ....im like 'I HAVE GRIP FOR GOD SAKE AND IM MOVING SIDEWAYS!!'
  6. But i always thought that wheel with most grip would pull you through not other way around? and it seems its always my left rear wheel spinning my drivers side does nothing?
  7. Hi guys, i no this may seem a stupid question - but since the snow fall i cant understand what the supra is doing? Pulling out my drive 1 rear wheel is clearly on the tarmac road surface (no/little snow on ground) other rear wheel is on snow/ice. The wheel on snow/ice is spinning like crazy whilst the other wheel on perfectly solid tarmac with loads of grip is doing nothing at all? - im very confused? even in my astra before my supra - the wheel with grip normally spun - not the other wayt round??[OOPS][/OOPS]
  8. I saw this at AFR (yesterday) i think - just saw frontend when it was parked up - looks real nice - if i sold my NA i would buy this off you.
  9. Jeez that thing absolutly disgusting!!! think amount of money he spent on that.....no vision at all to create that.......IM BIDDING!!
  10. nice mint supra mate - if i had the cash id snap it up right away ....GLWS
  11. im after a few parts off the engine if your willing to break it?
  12. Just a random question - is it posdible to get classic car insurance on supras? or when can it be done?
  13. I have alot of give in the steering - so after a good working order unit with no play init please.
  14. alternator i would think from whats happening - mate had very similar thing with his focus
  15. i have oem spoiler in white i can swap with you + cash your way (it does have slight cracking over the top of it though)? currently on the my car atm though until get TRD spoiler.
  16. - Dibbs 1st if they are perfect n are ride height im after-
  17. How much do they lower ride height by mate? thet is excellent working order no knocking etc? cheers
  18. After a new or good condition TRD spoiler either half carbon (carbon blade) or non carbon. Cheers p.s- if anyone has one they want to get rid or selling i would like it before christmas if possible (buying own christmas present again tut tut)
  19. -gazzi123- dash panels/centre console (arm rest) + door panels - can you PM me price for this please
  20. any body had experience with the XS power turbo kit on NA before? if put TT pistons in then headgasket have to be changed aswell?
  21. A random question but when people do Na -T conversion headgasket is changed for compression - if you changed headgasket to a thicker one only (without any other mods) what would it do to performance or would it do nothing to benefit the car? cheers
