  1. Think he said he's fitting his in my other post as he has a simular issue.
  2. Looking for a really cheap set of turbos I can send off to get rebuilt rather than taking mine off as use the car daily. Can anyone help please?
  3. Went to SRD and it does seem to be the turbo death whine. My second turbo has excessive up/down movement Role on the hybrids!
  4. I have no idea what that is! Had a quick search but not really any videos/sound clips. I'll ask SRD
  5. A friend of mine is selling his car as he wants to get back into jap Make: Vauxhall Model: manaro Year: 2005 Engine size: 6 litre v8 Mileage: 71.3k MOT remaining:6 months Service history: full history (folder full of receipts.) Car's location: Rainham Kent Modifications: Replacement radiator and hoses with mishimoto. Reconditioned callipers new pads and discs on the front. Braided brake hoses on all corners Peddlers lowering springs Wheels have been powder coated in anthracite and are mint, no chips or kerbing It's standard manifold with high flow Milltek cat back exhaust and custom back boxes, The underside was sealed with Dinitrol last year. Good bits. It’s a lovely car, sounds great and draws attention wherever you go. It runs perfect, I can't complain about anything mechanical on it. Bad bits: hhhhmmmmm I guess rear leather headrest needs a stitch but is common on these cars. PRICE 12000 Please PM for contact details.
  6. My car has started making a lovely noise when the second turbo comes on Off to SRD we go, assuming the worst! (death whine)
  7. Has it got any other markings on it? Jasma isn't the make, it's something to do with Japan grading the exhausts i think?? They usually have a code on a plaque which you can look up online to find out the actual brand
  8. Thanks! Ebay china special. Fit great! https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F323614465298
  9. Carbon engine covers fitted. And a bit of a tidy up [GRIN][/GRIN]
  10. First impressions, really liked the yellow. Looks much better in person. Car looked good. I've sat in SRDs one so knew what to expect interior wise etc. All very BMW, nothing that resembles the mkiv supra at all. But I did like that carbon fibre touches although that only seemed to be on the gear surround and not anywhere else on the interior. Also I scrapped my head on the door pillar getting in and out and I'm only 5ft 8. Front windscreen was very small as is the back window. Visibility is deffanatly lacking. It pored with rain for the first hour (2 hour test drive) and I could barely see where I was going. The car itself was very smooth to drive, and if using everyday I could see it as a winner that way. But there is nothing special about it. Slight rumble from the exhaust and that was about it. As I said it was raining, I wasn't pushing hard (although did floor it a good few times) but the traction control was kicking in during the more mild accelerations. The gear box was nice, perfect gear changes in auto and flappy modes but way to many gears! I found in manual mode I was having to shift down a lot to get that oomph when accelerating. In auto mode, pulling onto a roundabout from a standstill it had hit 4th gear before the first bit of turn. I have to say after driving for an hour I found myself getting bored. Which I was a little disappointed about. I made sure I went i went for the drive I was treating it as a car, not a BMW. Then to make up my own mind based on drive alone. I can see it being a hit with tuners . A bit more oomph and a bit more noise could make it more exciting. But for me, the mk4 is a way better car all round, even with its imperfections. But everyone should deffanatly go drive one and make up there own mind before buying into the 'it's a BMW' mind frame
  11. About to take this out. See how it goes
  12. http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?189710-tyre-pressure Think most go for 36psi, what i'm running
  13. All I seem to get lately is the generic statement in an American accent "is that a Supra?" Drives me nuts!
  14. My cars an import and has a tint? Wander if its been replaced
  15. Haha they're more than welcome to have mine to play with! Did you see the future projects? Could be interesting!
  16. So went for something a bit different to the normal. Carbon wrapped my roof. More carbon to come in the future and should all tie in nicely. I love it
