have you guys seen this, it will take a while to get through. http://www.supraforums.com/forum/showthread.php?558853-ATI-vs-Fluidamper

they are getting like rocking horse sh1t!

it's only in it for about 1 year then it is out when i have the new engine, that engine in the pic's will then be going into a mk1 escort shell.

what a wonderful world we live in, all these unscrupulous people not interested in money but trying to make our lives better! as for toyota doing a better job than anyone don't forget i come from the mk3 world (my 5th mk3, actually it's the 3rd of 5) and i have seen the toyota idea of an adequate head gasket and bottom end on the 7m's and as for the strength of the original turbo's on the twins, the less said the better. it's not always about upgrading but just removing the bad bits sometimes.

clearly you folks just don't know me. are you trying to tell me that 1000 bhp supra's are running the standard oem pulley. i plan on a new engine for my car next year and it will be insanely powerful so i want something better. how do the titan one work, has anyone here had one?
-
definately time for a new one. are there any aftermarket performance ones that are damped?
-
i think it's time to look for an alternative.

i recently bought a lightened set of pulleys for my 92 1jz gte and was told that if i tried starting the engine with the smaller lightened pulley on the crank it would snap the crank. is this a problem with the 1jz? if it is why would they sell them. this is what i have bought. are these lightened wheels dangerous?

rear end slowly coming to life!
-
another 1jz fan here, albeit in it's mk3 guise. welcome.

2 stage project, first stage the shell and ancillaries, 2nd stage - stupidly big engine and flappy paddle gearbox - that comes next year. she could do 860 bhp according to suppliers. i don't trust them so i will limit her to 400 untill the big engine and box are in.

front and rear subframes. bottom arms for the front and the screamer pipe, from the sill or the inside of the chassis, it isn't finished yet as the engine isn't in yet.
-
i'm not finished with the yellow paint yet. i'm thinking of a nice broad yellow stripe up the middle of the bonnet to show off the scoop!
-
some more pic's that's all for now folks.

my brand new custom built leda coilovers look like sh1t after just 18 months on the car, tent time for me as well.
-
the engine and a dash of paint for the interior
-
i just home my sanity can outlast the build, but obviously not by much.
-
i'm sorry about the picture quality but my camera doesn't seem to like dark rooms with only striplight illumination. the bonnet is still a work in progress and unfinished but these should give you a clue.
-
mine won't be ready untill early january and i don't feel like using an auris diesel even if it is an SR180 because i have my doubts about the 180 myself and will end up getting lapped by everyone.
-
that's about the last mod other than the "bonnet of uncertainty". it's time to clean and paint (and make up my mind on the bonnet design) and reassemble and basicly enjoy* *swear at whilst broken down by the side of the road!
-
and this is where the wastegate exits!
-
reinforced the strut brace and added a top engine mount to help with the extra power.
