  1. Hi guys Gone for a Spec Twin CC Clutch, read a few reviews and a few horror stories but been chatting with a guy from the States and uses it for drag racing who recomended it so i am going to give it a go rated for 900ft/lbs to 1200ft/lbs! So at least i have some headroom if i upgrade.... Anyway, will update my project when i fit it!
  2. She probably just forgot where she parked it....
  3. Thats very helpful, i liked the bit where i asked if the standard flywheel would work, not if it came with a flywheel .
  4. Which one would you recommend Jamie?
  5. Hi guys Got most of the parts for the single now, just need a clutch.... Any recommendations? Had an Exeddy paddle clutch on my R34 and it was quite heavy... I have a question, i have been looking at: http://whifbitzperformancetuning.co.uk/toyota-supra-clutches-flywheels-rps-p-6044.html Is this a special flywheel for this clutch? I mean could you use the standard flywheel? Anyone got any other clutch recommendations? As a side note, i am only going for 650-700HP, just like to over spec slightly to give the clutch an easier time. Thanks
  6. I must admit i was supprised by the gearbox the Skyline ones are very notchy but this was great, i hope the 6 speed is as good.
  7. Cant PM you mate, you have to many PM's! £2300 which i was quite happy with.
  8. Will be popping down for this when finished then!
  9. Ahh, you were the one who was servicing it for him i take it?
  10. In that case, the previous owner to him, why would you fit a turbo timer to an NA? I was only jesting dear boy...
  11. Hi Ellis, near Spalding, you? D8MOA, thats why i brought it mate, looked a clean car despite the damage, you have to look past that i was really happy with it when it arrived. Will keep you updated mate considering going single while the engine is out.....
  12. Removing EcU Nearly ready! Bonnet of to make more room Added aero for kit car The sack of crap is out! Happy Days! Repeat with the TT6 Hmm wonder whats what... Stripping out the NA Bay Bay cleaned and all TCS/Servo/Brake pipes moved onto NA shell Getting somewhere, all brakes/loom/AC pipes/Units moved over Just as a reference to do all the above takes a good 6+ Hours, EVERYTHING is different... TT6 shell starting to look a bit empty... Chassis leg!!! So thats the bay done, next job complete interiour/dash/car loom swap! Will update later this week!
  13. Let move onto the NA... A few pics: Loving them wheels! New home next to its big brother Where the 'Magic' happens... Random Flare thing i found under the carpet?!?!?! Now this is my fravriot bit of all!!! This is an N/A.... So what would you not need....these i think..... Such a losser...i mean why?!?!? There you go NA guys, fit a Turbo timmer.... Anyway started stripping the NA Found my farting exhaust leak Getting the papper weight ready:
  14. Hi there guys and welcome to my new project! My names Adam, i want to share my project with you that i am currently undertaking. I always seem to have a project on the go, so first of let me show you a few things i have biuld over the years. First 'performance' car, 220BHP GT25 Powered Uno Turbo, spent far to much, Aeroquips the lot... Great fun and very quick for such a small car Went from that to RWD, brought a kit car chassis and a few bits and bobs, ended up going from a 2.0 Pinto to a Saab 2.3 Turbo running Dry sump that i designed myself, 330BHP....awesome fun again! Got wet though, so had to go... Then decided i wanted something quick that was still a nice comfy car, so i got a Carrera, looked awesome, but found it a bit lacking coming from the Kit car.. So, after years of freinds going Jap i decided to stop calling them all Jap crap and get an R34 Skyline. Another quick car, faster than the Porsche but interior was cheap crap and the car started getting the wrong kind of attention so sold that on... Decided to try the kit car route again, this time with a roof and a heater... Mid engine RWD layout with a nice V8 in the back, however the V8 had gay carbs and i am more of a turbo/EFI guy. Still got a lot of work to do but she is getting there. Not a bad looking kit car, but the Ferrari badges had to go... the last owner said "i parked next to a Dink and you couldn't tell"....whatever he was smoking...i want some! y My parents are in the car trade, and i have been working for them since the tender age of 6! Which i hated when i was growing up but now its paying dividends...painting/Engine/Box/Electrical i can do it all! Sounds a bit arogent but i guess i was just lucky... Anywat this takes me nicely onto my current project! Now i wasn't looking for a Supra, i was just looking at some salvage cars a few weeks back and happend to spot the Supra, i saw the engine and the fact it was a manual, did a bit of reaserch and found it was a UK model, result! Don't see many damged ones for sale so a bid was placed and it was mine... A few pictures... Turns out this car had some forum history to! Goes a little like: D8MOA - Buys the car and does a fair few bits to it, thread on it here: http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?262876-My-black-uk-6-speed-rebuild-has-started he then sells it on to Trashcanman whos has a little bump and grind...i gave him a ring an basicly he said he was overtake on a slight bend in the damp/wet, the TCS come in and decided to shut down the engine power...the rest is history... Now due to the damage the car couldn't really be put back on the road, unless you wanted a car that drove like a crab... So a plan was hatched, buy another car and reshell, no cut corners, no bits missing, every single bracket and bit from the TT is being moved over to the NA shell. Looms, pipes the lot. So i went on the look out for a Black NA Manual. I found the "Beast" and brought it... A few obervations with this car: 1: Its horrendusly slow.... Reminds me of an FTO, looks like a Ferrari, goes like a Mondeo 2: The wheels are, by far the worst things i have ever, EVER seen... WTF he was thinking when he handed £1000 over i do not know... 3: Having to drive back 150 miles with an exhaust that seems to be disconnected to the engine gives you a massive headache... These points aside, i brought it due to full years tax/MOT, Painted job 2 years ago thats be very well done, and theres no rust! I didn't even test drive it, as long as it made it home that was all i cared about! It did, just slowly and noisely! Right so lets make a start! The TT6 was not running when i brought it so first port of call was to sort that, turned out some fool had unplugged ECU and a few other bits! Any way she struck into life..
  15. Spalding mate, will try to find the reg today as all plates and chassis plates are removed as its a breaker.
  16. Indeed, the owner clearly loved the car, a few of the mods i have found: - Brand new BC Coilovers (Sending them away to be checked today) - Greddy Profec 2 BC - HKS FCD - Powerflex Bushes all round - Adjustable camber bolts - New bottom control arms - Cambelt replaced this August 2012

    New chap!

    Hi there guys! I am Adam, joined up here because of my new project. I just brought a heavily damaged Toyota Supra Mk4 Original UK car Twin turbo 6 speed manual. The car is not able to go back onto the road so the hunt is on to find a nice car to convert, looked at a few in the classifieds section, if anyone has a nice NA/Auto/Manual drop me a message! Will start up a project thread when i find the right car to convert, best bit is i have the complete car so it should be quite straight forward. Anyway heres my lovely new car...
