  1. well said and personally must agree (i'm ETTC) but i guess to each his own ..... i appears that for town driving, and if you're used to the sequential power delivery, it can take a bit of getting used but useful lowdown torque i find is crucial in this setting. a caveat to add : i don't think the 2nd turbo ever comes into much play in stop/start traffic hence the importance of lowdown 1st turbo n the associated torque. speaking for myself only, i cannot see myself going the single route because i am so used to the current set-up and when coupled with my daily traffic situation, it makes even less sense. the drone is another thing i cannot live with (how on earth nur spec owners can is beyond me ) - just my own 2p ...
  2. think size of turbo ......
  3. si - it's the same lower lip i have on mine. look for pics on the jae pics thread ...
  4. it looks great mate ... then again, i may be slightly biased as mine is spoilerless as well ! mine was the black one (without wing of course) parked up near the top of the area. don't worry about the stick you might get from these guys, they are all just plain boring and have no gumption to try something different ... enjoy and welcome to the board. i think that makes 3 wingless ones i know of.
  5. great to see you again mate yay - finally a piccy of mine in the absolute foreground (black w. TRD bonnet). thanks mate. terr.turner - thanx for those great shots of my car as well ...
  6. barry - check ianC's post in the sale section .....
  7. nic - don't think that was it. it looked exactly like a vs w/o the mid bit. that c-west is more angular ....

    if i had 'friends' like that - i would be detailing the car everyday!! thanks nic .... J - i know, i know, but after billing i was actually ashamed/afraid to open/look at my engine bay. now i guess i know what i'll be doing sat mornings ..... thanks guys.
  9. saw it too but think it was a veilside but just without that cross-member ...

    after having seen countless clean and neat engine bays at billing, i shamefully feel i must at least make some kind of attempt to keep mine tidy at least. any recommendations from people (using elbow grease) on what products to use/ what to avoid and what to clean and what not to touch ? many thanks ...

    billing pics

    think they are top secret unless i am mistaken .....
  14. like Neil says .......
  15. Justin - i am very sorry to hear the bad news mate. i am glad that both yourself and the dog escaped without more serious injury. hearing things like this makes me wonder which corner kebab shop some people qualify for their licenses from. i sincerely hope that everything (health, wealth etc) work out for you in the best possible light. am also gutted that such a beautiful machine got wasted in such an unecessary manner (why is it all the wrong cars/people that have bad things happen to them ?). i wish you all the best with the claims procedure and i hope you manage to find something that will make you happy. be patient when looking for an aerotop, they very occasionally pop-up when you least expect it. good luck mate.
  16. any pirelli p-zeros or the SO2's if you are lucky enough to find it ..

    cheap power ?

    out of curiosity, why do you reckon that Mark ? Thorin - yeah, the TTC thing is a bit of a question. i wonder what would happen (as in would it be easier) if one had the ETTC mod done already ? would appreciate some thoughts on this guys ... ? TIA

    off supraforums (while doing a bit of background reading) http://www.supraforums.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=199001&perpage=25&pagenumber=1 thought it worth a glance ...
