Pics of the spoiler wanted!!

I guess so. Just its such a nice colour, people seem to rape the RSP or Facelift grey with resprays. Maybe it's the aftermarket use of the colour that's uncommon. I think it would make for a modern take on a wide setup. No one can copy me first!

Jewel green I guess. People only ever add a front lip, add some wheels. I mean I've never, ever seen a wide arch jewel green. Super uncommon to even see anyone put a body kit on one. Let alone side skirts. Just seems a standard front end, maybe the odd bonnet, is the most people do when they own one. Which I find curious.

Very cool. I was thinking of doing a green one. It seems an uncommon colour.

Ah cool, I've never been that high I guess I just drive it like a grandad lol

Laggy supras are because people incorrectly size their turbo and go for numbers not response or area under the curve. Personally I'd stick to a 62mm turbo, as many can reach 750hp so you shouldn't be pushing it so hard it reduces the life of the turbo. Mike's advice for 264 cams is spot on. Some people have done amazing numbers with those. No need to over size that. Vvti as mentioned definitely helps. Heads fairly well prices if you can get one.

@Mike2JZ got to 9.7 as an estimate based off the TT HG arriving at around 9.2 with GE pistons. Therefore higher compression pistons adding more compression that this. Perhaps my estimation of 9.2 is outdated and incorrect.

100 degrees with your oil blimey! Mine tops over 90 when I'm giving it some beans. Is that a regular temp? Pretty sure gloves are meant to come with thumbs too

Surely 9.7 estimated is going to be fairly high for 600whp? I'd go 1.5mm surely. To at least lower it slightly.

The problem is you arent going to get a ratio of 9.0 using 9.0 CR pistons in a GE engine. Whoever recommended that compression ratio, did they forget it was an NAt or something. I've not heard anyone recommending 9.0 pistons in an NA before. 600 is 525whp. You arent far away anyhow. I've got 525 at the wheels on my NA and I'm using oem pistons. You're going to have to lower your ratio with a 1.5mm or above gasket. Using high compression TT pistons on an already high compression NA setup puts the setup at risk.

9.0 CR pistons on a GTE engine? Or a GE engine. They may fit the same. But they won't automatically give you 9.0 on both, as the starting ratios are different. I expect it'll be GTE pistons. Which means you are increasing compression slightly from the stock 8.5. I believe the combo of an NA engine with GTE gasket gives you around 9.2. Which means 9.0 GTE pistons will increase you to around 9.7 roughly. Which isn't far off stock NA ratio. From memory the stock gasket is 1.3mm. What are your power goals. Why did you choose 9.0 pistons out of interest. 500hp. I'd use a 1.3 gasket and you should be okay if you've a good stand alone ecu. But 1.5mm would be nicer. Anything more power wise. Up the gasket thickness. Closing in on a ratio of 10 on pump gas is less than ideal. I think you can get a 2mm gasket. This of course depends if they were intended for the TT or NA.

Not great for running though

Sorry guys lol my bad, should have been clearer. I saw the Anker devices on Amazon and thought I'd wait for feedback before I considered anything. Spooky that you guys have recommended them. Thanks for giving me confidence in the brand. And totally lol at Jim

Morning y'all. I'm noticing my phone usage listening to music is going to inevitably be unable to keep up with the distance I am running. I'm going to have to buy an extra power supply, can anyone recommend a portable USB charger at all? Obviously lighter the better.

Do you have a pillar drill. Best to try and drill it, holding it in a vice gently with some clothes running it at a low speed. Without seeing photos I'm just guessing. But drilling a new hole into the old material is another option. Ideally you'd over size the drill and bond in a new thread. Being its a thread its likely going to be a steel which may be a pain to drill. But I'm sure if you're gentle you can get some sort of replacement in there. Another option is drill a new hole in a different location. But you'd have to make sure you didn't drill into the water pathway. A final option. Would be to make a tiny base with a new thread on one side and a hole on the other (to allow the current thread to pass through). Then bond the washer jet onto the new base to give you a twin threaded option.

Any pics. Surely must be a way to recondition it.

I'm in for dyno plots!

Voltex for the win. Told you about that one.

Oh is that a pre delivered photo. Can see ramp in background inside the garage dude. Cars looking pwetty as always man.

Good work man. That's some serious restoration

You have your own ramp??? Daaammme

Thanks mate! Just over 2 hours is a respectable time for a half

Damn that's cool. I've been a fan of the ls-f for a while. More so the last generation rather than the current latest. Feel they've gone a bit too space ship design but the new one photographed there looks well presented. Turbos on v8 are so friggin cool. Wonder if they'd consider a sequential system or just one turbo per bank.

Least you done it mate! I got in just shy of 17 miles in this weekend. Think after this year, will likely just do a weekly 10k. Nice to get out and about, but planning and diet takes up so much time hey.

LSD was optional upgrade during initial purchase. There's no single rule. My NA hardtop came with an open diff. But then my NA aero came with an LSD.
