Exactly. While 550cc injectors might be able to adequately supply a small single, asking the same from 440cc J-spec injectors is unrealistic.

Do you have a USA (or UK) spec Supra? What you might be able to get away with while running a single turbo set up on US/UK fuelling is not the same as somebody could run on j-spec fuelling. J-spec fuelling is marginal at BPU level, beyond BPU ...

Gunmetal is lovely, although I don't like quicksilver nearly as much. RSP I really like, nearly as much as gunmetal, but when I had my RSP one it used to annoy me when people said it was purple. Black is probably the best looking colour, when it's spotlessly clean. If you don't mind cleaning the car every time you drive it, they're great. Gunmetal is fantastic in that respect and RSP is pretty good too. Don't be daft There must be thousands of them, many hundreds at least.

It's OK, regardless of how the name sounds, he's not actually scotch.

Another classic thread. Branners must be turning in his grave. I presume he's died recently, right?

Understanding the Rolling Radius and the tyre Profile
Jake replied to Scott's topic in mkiv Technical
Very good. Blimey though, it must've taken you a while to write up. Actually I've found that increasing the aspect ration of the tyres by one (5%) increment makes the speedo more accurate rather less. Due to the stock speedo over-reading, you see. I mean, most speedos over-read by ~10%, so increasing the circumference of the tyre by 3 to 5 % makes the speedo more accurate. Anyway, great work. -
Crikey, what a ramble. One question; what does the thread title mean?

Had another look and yeah, it's fake. Just after the victim starts moving backwards you can see where they switched to a dummy. The view outside the far window changes slightly and the guy on the left moves a bit.

This makes it more believable ... lFAwxo01Ang

How dare you come on here with your fancy well-reasoned, sensible, arguments.

Dunstable Cars? You've come to the right forum!

Schweet ! --- How come my quote of your post didn't include my original post (which you quoted)? Is that a bug?

Good one. Not sure the footage of FW is all that relevant seeing as his being in a wheelchair is due to a road accident. For my money the most touching moment in motor racing history is David Purley trying in vain to get Roger Williamson out of his burning car at the '73 Dutch GP.... 3McXp4Cb_Wo What a hero. Have you ever seen anything so gut-wrenching? It chokes me up every time I see it.

I quite like the new format. The only feature I would really like back is the ability to hide selected peoples' Signatures. I'm aware that we can turn them off altogether but I only want to hide the more annoying ones. Any chance of having that feature back, Mawbs?
-
Not that one but try the Forte one. Unlike a lot of them it actually works. They only sell it to Trade officially but you can always find it on eBay.

Trev ?

because they are bloody annoying. No.

Take no notice mate. A NA Supra is a fine car if you can't stretch to a real one.

hypercrits? Did you mean hypocrites? Many of the Asians on here are English.

Have you had the mapping adjusted to correct for the different manifold?

Yes, they still have manual adjustment. You can also wire up the elec (vertical) beam adjustment if you want. iirc, there's a good How-To guide for this on mkiv.com

Typical boxing, loads of talking the fight up and then a big disappointment on the night.
