  1. Awesome video. Recognise so many of those cars!
  2. Low 11s be a good run man. Really good. That's what I could hope for if I was lucky! I did have 345s Michelin but they didnt hook. Even on low boost. I dont have progressive boost as my lowest setting is 1 bar in the spring. Now that hooks on third 1.5 bar also hooks. Haven't tried second gear hard when tyres are warm. I always dreamed of a 400hp st205 for the track. Still dreaming lol
  3. I've 459 ft lb wheel torque and 325 R888 need geo really to keep pushing it. Taking me a while to figure out how to get the power down. Third gear finally hooks now! I've no idea if a lighter car would help or hinder that issue. I sometimes wonder if I should have gone for a 58mm insteadnof a 62mm. Surely a AWD platform like the st205 would be better for those insane power levels. What's the transmission limits on the sw20 range?
  4. 1.85 holy moly. What turbo is that. Yeah lower torque can suck. I've 1 bar minimum and I still loose it a little bit. R888 tyres now mean I can use third gear properly. Hoping second as well but I've not had the chance to hammer that too much. Love the style of them.
  5. Lovely item. I haven't quite figured where I'll put mine. Nice work mate. - - - Updated - - - Lovely item. I haven't quite figured where I'll put mine. Nice work mate.
  6. Be nice to see how the mr2 feels against a similar powered supra. What's the torque on that mate? I went for a drive on the weekend and my friend in his mr2 came along. I can honestly say I love the front end and have been dream looking on ebay for one. If there was just more room in the engine bay to tinker i think I'd be tempted one day.
  7. Most of your comments on this forum seem to offer no benefit to this forum to be honest. Just smart arse remarks. People dont deserve that here. Many offer help and advice. Not to be talked down too by people like yourself. Attitude isnt welcome here.
  8. Oh how awkward. Let me correct that. Where did you do 200mph in your auto Supra where the sat navigation was indicating your current speed. Country. Road. Location. Area.
  9. I didnt think it was particularly a challenging question.
  10. Got an after market one with TPS
  11. Shame you were never so lucky:lol:
  12. Gorgeous looking RSP there today. Sadly didnt get to meet the owner.
  13. LOL it nearly work....
  14. Sadly wheel size reduction is not an option. Built by arches around the wheels I personally built. So I need to just do the best I can with the current diameter. I find what you say interesting though and I'm certain it's the wall height rather than tyre diameter that influences that situation. Though that alsonsuitsnmy desired outcome I know the wall height makes a big impact. Hopefully my improved compound will he enough to satisfy the issues in having.
  15. Just grabbed a bargain on the flea bay. Brand new unused. 325 30 19 R888. It's a difficult balance driving wheels that are meant for a show pony and finding something drivable. I'm certain these will do the trick. Just wont be allowed any rain days.
  16. I have a 13J wheel. So 285 isnt an option. Shane, the profile of 40 is only relative to the tyre width. To me a 30 on the 345 looks like a typical 40 on my old 265 tyres. A 35 profile looks like a 4x4 tyre. 30 profile on 345 tyre gives 103.5mm. Whereas a 35 onna 285 gives 99.75. So I have a larger sidewall in theory. Mot stretching the tyre makes it better which I haven't done. Having a run flat really screws it up too.
  17. The 30 profile is surprisingly equal tonal 265 40. The 35 profile due to the width looked like a 4x4 tyre when fitted lol. Sounds like I'm going down the right path though. Thanks guys.
  18. I have Michelin pilot sports. Run flats sadly. 345 30 19. Lsd diff. Traction isn't holding 600hp (in the dry) unless in fourth. Cant red line in third! Been looking at R888R but due to the width I have to import them. Any other guidance on tyres? What do people run with 500hp and over? I get issues at low boost which is around 520hp. High boost and its ridiculous what the wheels spin at. I think my tyres are my first plan of attack. Being the easiest to fix initially. Advice is really welcome. I need to upgrade the S6 syvecs if I want traction control. So I'm hoping I can change the game with tyres and then work towards another ecu long term to S7 or expanded unit for thr S6.
  19. You may have paid new car money for it but doesnt mean you get new car condition. But you know this. Mine during the respray and arch build had loads of hidden clues to knocks and minor bangs. Personally I dont think even graders spot everything. Cars mint in my eyes. Un noticable repair work wouldnt bother me personally. As we would all like to know. But does it really devalue the car? Without proof theres been an impact or negative reason to do the work, I dont think it would.
  20. Yea that's what I've been advised to do as well mate.
