Here Goes.....Jonny's TT shell restoration / big build time
Supra.SZ-R replied to jonny mac's topic in Supra Chat
This was a lovely read. Keep it up!! -
I'm living in Derry now. My car is an RZ too only the 99 and with a V161 instead of the 60 Hopefully get another meet going when the heat comes back
-
Haha, what spec is your car John? Are you based in Dublin or further afield?
-
Looking good John, I would have been there but I unfortunately broke my ankle on Tuesday. And you know how it goes with getrag gearboxes, it was just not possible D:
-
Haha I was thinking the same and was close to not going for my dear of meeting new people. But I said fxck it cause if everyone thinks like that, there will be no turnout atall. I was really glad I went. First ever Supra meet and everyone was so nice. I really enjoyed that day. And can't wait for some good weather again
-
Exactly. I'm thinking of widening my restrictor ring and adding a boost gauge. And maybe controller for the new year, along with a full service
-
John it would be lovely to see. We are an odd bunch, few of us have these cars and even fewer turn up to the meets. I had never seen so many supras together all at once, and that's a sad statement considering there where only 6 haha
-
Next time we have to set up a we stop for a feed in the middle, prolong the day :') What a gang
-
Imagine not even a bean noticed this post D: I was the QFX RZ The Facebook page has done damage to the forum! The meet though small (6 Supras) was an awesome day
-
I will for sure. Hopefully it's not crazy mobbed
-
Friday Saturday for sure, maybe Sunday too all day if I can. Finally have Supra in order for it so I won't miss out!
-
Oh I will be doing it myself. I'm only talking esthetically. Mechanically she is all up to date as I recently did the BPU mods and went coilovers since my REAS was knocking :/ But after doing all those mods with her on blocks. I went ahead and bit the bullet and bought a lift! It has made life so much easier
-
Everytime I don't have mine he is there! There I also a red NA in this area that I have never seen in Person. Was it you with the black bonnet? I may have saw you parked in a small personal garage with the bonnet popped very close to where I live. Wensday the Supra is get the full once over underneath in preparation for the weekend
-
Do you ever be around Derry John?? I'm not sure if I have seen your car around. There is another white one with a black TRD bonnet running around too
-
I would guess the Black Supra from Derry will be out too? Wonder is he on this forum?
-
Who will be up for the Donegal rally?? Finally have the Supra ready for it

Mike's White Widearch N/A Supra Project
Supra.SZ-R replied to Mike2JZ's topic in mkiv Supra Projects
Good updates, nice to see the paint finally done. And the R154 sourced. Hopefully drive through England myself in July time as I head to Switzerland. -
Ah that's ok then. I have the big brakes you see. Thanks for the info
-
I learned that the hardest Wez. Do you sell stock discs or know of a good set of slotted discs Chris?? Thanks for the comments guys.
-
Ah Chris Wilson. You are the owner of one of those aftermarket shops. What would you recommend for discs? These are being sent back as I simply can't deal with the incorrect vane thing I only went for sloted as it's just a nice we thing for the look of her. Pity a big company like EBC would accept this stupid vane setup, especially on a sports car :/ If they where gonna pull that move they should have just went with straight vanes :/
-
There is a term for all the different types of vanes that can be had. Can't remember all the different names though But key here that ebc seem to forget is that all good brakes go in the same direction. If mercedes do, do this I'm sure it's on lesser models that they don't care as much for. A sports car should never have opposite facing vanes its stupid. And if you only want one set of discs they should be straight vanes and that's the end of it.
-
I told them the same thing, they struggled to grasp the concept. But like you say in normal use I will never notice a difference. It was mostly for the look of the thing. I know it's abit daft. But it's nice for shows and such to have things like this. They look well on the car like
-
For anyone wondering. This was the response from EBC This really doesn’t matter Lots of cars have curved vanes but only use one casting Mercedes and Maserati among them The curve is primarily for extra strength as you get a longer vane if its curved There maybe some extra cooling effect but its minimal If you are not happy we will have them back
-
In actual fact on closer inspection. I have two right hand discs that EBC sloted left and right. It's in correct and stupid. Check this video of the vanes.
-
Yeah that's what you would expect, especially since that's the way it is on the stock discs. The only thing that stops me putting them the way I want is that the grooves are a shade more aggressive on the EBC versions. See the shadows in the pics of the grooves?? I have em perfectly lined up so you can see
