----BRAND NEW---- !!!!Cost me £650 new + uprated pins worth £60!!!! They are JE 8.5-1 CR, 86.5mm Pistons with rings and locks included! These are the NEW ASYMETRICAL design which are lighter, stronger and have less drag! I think TITAN are now introducing these pistons at a hefty price so grab a bargin... I will also include the uprated 9310 Alloy wrist pins (Cost me £60). ----------£520 ONO---------- I was going to use these pistons in my SERIOUS HP Drag car build as they are some of the best pistons and pins on the market. This is a very good price so grab a bargain before they go on ebay! OFFERS??? PM me for Contact number, Thanks.

Thanks for all the advice people, I have now made my mind up.

What do you mean?

Manual

Yeah its just what we have left over from work lol, you never know you could have just ripped up an old carpet, saves a tip run

Best to find out and post them up here for the future...

I used old carpet upder my stones, been down 10+ years without weeds or flooding

Sorry, my dad had a 10 second 70s challenger before I was born, not a supra. He spent 11 years of hes life building it up with every penny he earnt to end up rolling it with in 3 weeks of completion. 10 years after this he got rid of it for 3 and a half grand and lost hes mind with hes passion for cars! He`s not into jap cars and calls them toys, but I love them and if theres one thing to do in life is to follow in hes foot steps but with MY dream car. Your right, I have never driven a supra. The way things are going I should have one by christmas and have my fully built short block finished by christmas to drop straight in. What ever way I decide to go after this im sure i`ll have a good future. A house is a long way a way yet, a good 7 years is the plan. This gives me chance to finish this project before the serious stuff in life.

Its getting late, i`ll post back here tomorrow and let you know my plans but that sounds like some good advice ^^^^

Good advice. I pretty much got a all the parts for a short block to take insane power so that gives me a platform. Will eventually go single with other mods.

I`ll take your advise on board. I bet if I was to ride in a 10 second car i`ll soon realise I dont need that much power lol, but what an experience. Suppose i`ll just hobby it out see what happens..

Im glad someone else noticed that lol, P.S Ive got 3 years to 4 years to move out so chop chop get what I can done before the important stuff

I understand fella No hard feelings. Prehaps im aiming too high. I think if I can reach 1000WHP and 10 seconds and have it look nice and be done with it will be a much easier achievment. Ive just had a negative upbringing by my parents and been told i cant do anything but now I got a half decent job now and all I can do is try

I think ive given out the wrong message. I can afford it! I have a whole bunch of savings for every out going bill, payment whatever. People saying theres tax and all that. This is my money after tax, I know what I have to pay for in life ive got a good head for finance and am well organised. This is realitly and I have a good plan set out. The thread was about me feeling a bit intimidated by the amount of people that actually have tuned supra`s. Im not rich, but earn enough to put aside for projects like this... Im not being rude or anything but people talking about my finances like I HAVE to spend it on other things. I know what I have to pay for in life. Honestly I appreciate all your advice but its the positive comments towards my build that put a smile on my face. Negative brings my life down so I just want help on the build, Thanks people

LOL hobby, got it

Probably. I dont need to move out I live with my dad and hes getting old if you know what I mean. Have you got something against me sir by any chance?

Thanks guys thats what I want to hear. Im sure the more positve comments I hear the quicker i`ll get it done. Im still saving for a house at the same time this is just something to do when im bored with the extra cash. Im sure it will be a beast whatever happens

To be honest I really dont mind this as a long term project even if I can turn around when im 30 and look back and think wow. I do live with my parent, My girlfriends in uni so waiting for her to finish before I move out with her. Before I joined this forum I had a huge parts list to make this dream possible within my time and money goals. Now it just seems pointless. But m going to carry on building this to show the people that have never believed in me that anythings possible if you put your mind to it. £200 a week is a shed load of cash over a lifetime but nothing a week to spend on something I enjoy as a HOBBIE Ive set myself a goal and im going to finish it

Im very well organised, I put all my wages aside for every outgoing expense possible. I earn a good 40k a year but alot of that goes on my life. The £200 a week is just to see what I can do. If I can achieve this it will be a great example for those in simular circumstances. Im in no rush whatsoever and this will be a good project for life I love a project...

I was thinking this, I have new rods, crank, pistons, bearings etc. I shall keep these for now and keep saving for now and probably buy one some day that someone else has built. Seems the logical way....

Im 23 mate, Im also trying to save for a deposit at the same time for me and the missus is where the other half of my wages go. I would like this to go the way ive planned but I probably will just build the block up, drop that in and leave it for a platform for progress one day...

I almost have ALL the bits for a bomb proof short block shall I just keep this for a spare and save to buy one already done then? I thought its always best to do something yourself then that way you know whats what.

How do I get that kind of CR? I have 8.5-1 JE pistons already?

This is my dream, as long as im alive then I will finish it and thats the way I see it If my dad can do it. I must do it...

Sorry i meant 8-1 CR lol, 8.1 is F-QUICK. I just need the best advice really which is why I joined this forum. Plan on full weight with 6 speed and low 10-9 seconds consistantly on regular pump fuel. At the end of the day I dont know anything I just need the best advice bit by bit
