Here's a few of my car at the NEC Classic Car show. I'm really happy with how the car has turned out and the stand has had huge interest from the public. Huge thanks to all the guys who made it possible for us!

I've literally just fitted my active lip and decided it suits the overall look of the car, sorry buddy! I'll grab the invoice later and PM you both what I paid:thumbs: Definitely a modification worth doing, it's transformed the front of my car completely.

Cheers buddy, appreciated - I think! Legend.

Mine is the red car on the supra stand at the NEC....I'm sure the guys including myself would disagree strongly there, given the majorly positive reaction the whole stand has received. It's a shame that were not up to your obviously high standards. I think maybe you should have put your own cars instead.

Ian, that's a completely different clutch. That is a competition clutch for one, not an RPS. I'm also not convinced that the stage 2 will hold the torque. As I said in previous post, you need either the RPS Max clutch with street disc - available from MVP motorsports (traders on here), or the Spec stage 3+, available from various places including Whifbitz on here. The last thing I want is for you to fit that clutch and find that it cannot hold the torque, for your mechanic to blame me. That is not the clutch I pointed you to. This is the clutch I have: Part number: # RP MS-22522-ST LINK: http://www.mvpmotorsports.com/Templates/frmTemplateM7.asp?SubFolderID=780&SearchYN=N Or there is the spec stage 3+ http://www.garagewhifbitz.co.uk/spec-clutch-1563.html

The shaft and splines should be greased with a lithium based MP grease. Available from Halfords, manufactured by Castrol I believe. when you say "stage 2" RPS exactly which clutch have you brought? Post a link?

Decided it was time to treat the car to some new headlights, as the old ones kept fogging up. So I purchased some brand new OEM facelift headlights, facelift indicators and some other bits. I blame the TurtlesHead entirely. Will get them fitted up just before the NEC.

Where did you find it mate? For the rarity, the intercooler spray bar, anti lag etc. She also preferably wants either red, or white, facelift....so not fussy:eyes:

Good choice. We're just looking for a nice WRC for the other half to buy, as she's currently got a gen7. Finding it difficult to find a nice one to be honest.

Why don't you ask Ed? I'm sure he probably isn't using his, seeing as though he didn't even though the boot release lever existed...

I'll take it at £25, could you pm me your details please

Can we play nicely or not at all please.

Love the new livery, very smart mate!

I also use the DAS6Pro If you google "Das6 discount code" you'll find one for 10% off. I brought mine from cleanyourcar which is where I buy all my cleaning kit from.

I'm running 86.5mm CP forged pistons and Manley H beam rods. No issues here at all!

Great coilovers these, have them fitted to mine. Not as harsh as some others I have experienced, with plenty of damping adjustment. GLWS

Ian, as I am sure you will agree, I have been happy to offer advice and answer your queries on the NA-T subject in relation to your build, clutch etc. So I would rather hope that you will listen to what I am about to say and take it in the manner in which it is meant. With the best of intentions, your "NA-T man" may well have completed 35 conversions, but how many of those conversions were done for himself and how many of them are still successfully and reliably running without issue? Tooquicktoostop has owned more supra's than I care to count, I believe he is definitely into double figures now. These include everything from NA-700hp singles. He knows a little bit about these cars and I'm sure his technical understanding is certainly reliable. You refer to your "NA-T man" as being "very technical", but with respect, until recently, he was a tyre fitter, not an engine specialist. As Bignum said - another member who has been around on this club for years and does genuinely have VERY detailed knowledge of the cars, I doubt highly that the issue you are experiencing is down to a faulty gauge, the cooked oil would tell me that - like yourself, I am an electro/mechanical engineer by trade. With regards to your other thread related to your clutch, the fact that your "NA-T man" is adamant that full faced clutches will not hold the power, I am afraid I am now I'm a position to inform you, categorically that he is wrong. It's up to you, as a customer, to form your own opinion of the service and product you have received. I am sure reading between the lines that other people will do the same and draw the same conclusion as myself. On that note, again, please do not misinterpret this post, please read it in its literal sense. It is neither malicious, nor slanderous, but a mere honest opinion of someone outside, looking in - bearing in mind, my own car is an NA-T too and I also have experience of converting several others with friends.

Ian, if I were you go for either of the clutches I posted above. These are tried, tested and proven to work. Other than that, enjoy it.

Great info Chris,

I think this needs some time out, and a public slanging match is not going to help either of you. I would appreciate if you could both take some time out and maybe resume talks via PM.

You also have this option: http://www.garagewhifbitz.co.uk/toyota/supra/clutches-flywheels/spec-clutch-1563.html

Chris isn't saying that any organic clutch won't hold the power, he is saying that HIS clutch won't. Here's the clutch I have in mine and have had in mine for 6k+ miles now. http://www.mvpmotorsports.com/Templates/frmTemplateM7.asp?SubFolderID=780&SearchYN=N Including track days, a serious amount of time on the dyno and street driving. Rich.2211 and Rob_SRi have both driven my car and can vouch for it. The beauty of this clutch is that it uses the factory toyota friction disc and therefore, when worn, replacements are neither expensive or illusive. I believe I paid ITRO of £300-350 from Tim @ TB developments?

I have an active lip to go on but I am toying with a RMM lip with ears instead... Maybe something like this?

Finally got round to fitting my TRD spoiler today too. It's a full carbon item, but I've had the side pieces colour coded. I'm really unsure now that it's fitted whether to stick with it or revert back to stock. I know a lot of you guys have voiced your preference on Facebook, but I'm still unsure which way to go.

I'm running an RPS Max with a street disc. It's a full faced organic clutch which actually utilises the factory toyota friction disc. Engagement is no different to stock, pedal feel is stock and its happily holding 450ftlbs of torque no issues.
