Why are you still going Steve announced the winners on page 127...

Thanks guys, its a shame I havent had a chance to get some photos of it in the daylight in a nice location somewhere.

I was so close to replying straight after you then! Nice try to get me disqulaified pal! Is that actually you in your avatar?

Yeah that does make sense now people have mentioned it. Im getting quite alot of arch rub at the moment tho so the rear definately needs to come up a couple of cm if I run the rear on a softer setting. Looking from the back of the car the wheels have quite a bit of negative camber which gets worse as the suspension compresses I believe. This could be what needs adjusting.

I see dead people!

Thanks Chris you have been most helpfull In all fairness I never put my foot down going round corners neither do I want to so after all a drag setup might suit me better after all. I just dont want the massive drag radials. Any reccomendations on the brand of diff? Springs? Thats 2 people that have said that, at the moment I know for a fact that im as fast as all of them unless there just lying with thier hp figures but they dont seem that fast at all from what ive seen. Once I get my traction sorted with the new mods it should be easy! And if I fail then i'll be selling Well im not interested in top speed but I would like to be able to do 0-60 in 3.5 seconds or quicker without the use of drag wheels. Im sure I was very near that figure last summer when I first bought the car and that was only on a 265 tire with a stock box and torque converter. With the new mods I should be able to launch much harder.

Pop goes the weezle

Just thought I would add some pics as ive not really taken any since the cars been done, although this is partly because by the time I finish work its already dark! But heres some for the time being until I can get some decent ones done. And thought this wont happen again for a while

Hi

Thats funny!

Ok... whats the secret? Can you do mine

Thanks but I have toyo r888s in mind but im after other upgrades as well as the tire for ultimate grip.

I might have to do something with my arches then if there rubbing Yeah thats what I thought and its a long way to go twice lol.

Just street use mate as said. I know chris knows hes stuff but hes never online when I am I know theres better upgrades before the geo and stuff takes place which is what I want to get first so I dont have to have it done twice.

Thanks for your help as always I know there are answers there but in the end that thread turned out to be a over boost problem not my traction control I thought was going crazy ha. My coilovers are now set to 10 out of 32 (soft to hard) but I get alot of arch rub over heavy bumps or pot holes so a higher profile will be worse unless I raise the rear. Im thinking the first thing i'll change is my tires as this will probably make more of a difference than the diff. Will it be best to have the geo done after all the relevent upgrades? Also can I have my suspension height adjusted to a nice level before the geo or do they play with that aswel? Really? The GTR flies but the rest seem to be a bit forgiving. I can turn the boost up to 1.8 bar that should gain me a few more torques... How about you give him the cash and i'll give the coilovers for free

Now thats what I call breaking the ice!

Sorry another thing I forgot to mention, this will be for the summer time as winter is just no good for any car. Also now ive had this car a while alot of my mates have bought fast cars also and I want to make sure I make dog meat out of them come next summer A few include a 600bhp evo, a porche 911 turbo, a 500bhp supercharged m3 and a stock GTR

It would be nice to have my supe go like a GTR. If not then I have some saving to do...

Sorry I forgot to mention, I will be keeping the same wheels.

Boring now...

Im gunno start by saying I have read all the info I can take in on various pages but theres so many different opinions and variables I just thought it would be easier to make my own thread based on my needs and setup. So ive been thinking for a little while now what I want more from my supra whether to go for more power or just carry on spending money that dont make any changes in performance what so ever. In the end I just thought its best to do neither and add some traction upgrades to turn a nice powered street car into a gripping monster that will give me better 0-60 times and still be reliable without the drag setup side effects. I have read up on diff upgrades, better tires, control arms etc but I want to see what you guys can come up with for a perfect set up for a street car with the traction of a drag car. I have so far - BC race coilovers Built auto with 3800 stall Yokahama cheap horrible tires 12j 315/30r18 rears and 10j 265/30r18 fronts (possibly 335 on rear?) Stock auto TT Uk spec diff Dyno graph to give an idea of when boost starts etc. I know alot will say to upgrade the diff first but if both tires are already locking up will there be a noticable difference? Tires wise im looking at r888 for use in the summer. Probably missed something but any ideas, suggestions and questions welcome, Thanks in advance

How many to finish?

Hello

I think youve done a good job there mate dont think I couldnt have done better. Ive been scratching my head on what to do with my lines as I have a twin gate and yeah the ideas are limited so why not make them look good if you cant hide them. Well done
