Hi, What tyres do you lot recommend? I've had a look on my tyres.co.uk. Looks like I can get some decent 275/18/35's for about 300 quid a pair. Paul.

Hi, I am currently saving up for a new exhaust. First of all I need a service and two new rear tyres - 600 quid! ow!! I'm interested in how the baffle works on the NUR spec? Is it something that you can just shove in the end of the exhaust? or is it a section that needs to be fitted/removed? How does the NUR spec compare to the Super Dragger? I know the Super Dragger is quieter - but how much? Paul. 93 Jspec TT
-
I take it you have a heavily modified engine then?? Paul. Isnt the recommended service interval 6 or 12000 miles?? Paul.

Hi, How often do you change the oil in your cars? Mines done 4,200 miles since the last service. I was thinking of getting it serviced with oil change etc. Is it worth changing it yet? It's a completely standard J-Spec Supra TT. Paul.

Hi, Got a horrible squeek from under the bonnet this morning - noticed it yesterday too, but today it's much louder. Anyway, I popped the bonnet and I can hear wheres it's coming from. Is the water pump on the top right of the engine, driven by the fan belt? If it is then I think it's that. Anyone know how much a water pump costs? Is it easy to replace and can I do it myself? Paul.

Glad to hear you guys had a good time. I really wish I went! Think I would have got left behind though as I still have a limiter on my car! I'll try and save up for the next trip! Paul.

Ok, not too far away either. I'll try and get some other people along. Are you gonna stay in a hotel?
-
I may be up for this one! Is anyone going to be staying over and having a few pints? Paul.
-
Wish I could go too! bit of a pauper this month though!
-
I know. I got my MR2 Turbo upto 17PSI with a few mods and the cats still in though! I know it is a different car but I think I was expecting the same kinda thing with the supra. I can just imagine the power of the supra with the cats out, an exhaust and FCD now though. I bet at 17psi it's an absolute monster!! Paul.

Hi, I'm sorry to say that I cant make this one. I just havent got the money. Maybee I'll make the next one. Cheers, Paul.

Fitted a boost guage this morning and I found that I'm only hitting 10PSI(0.7 bar) when the second turbo kicks in and about 5/6PSI when the first turbo kicks in. Shouldnt I be hetting 12PSI(0.8 bar)?? The car is un-modified, so still has both cats. Could it be that the cats have melted and are blocking air flow? Paul.
-
Got the gauge fitted, no problem. I'm only getting 10PSI(0.7 bar) though and that doesnt sound a lto to me? Shouldnt I be hetting 12PSI(0.8 bar)?? I'll post another thread on this... "Only hitting 10PSI" Cheers, Paul.
-
Thanks guys, I'm going to install it this morning. I havent got a pod yet though so the guage is gonna just rest on the dashboard! Anyone know of a suitable cheap one that I can mount on my pillar? A single one would be better as I'm not bothered about any other guages. I dont want to replace my clock either as I find it handy! Paul.
-
Hi, Just got a cheap boost guage to fit to my car and I didnt notice before but I'm not sure what it's reading in?? it says LB/(triangle) at the bottom of the guage. (Triangle) being a pic of a triangle. Would this mean PSI?? Also where do I plumb it into?? can someone send me a pic of a engine bay with the appropriate place circled?? Cheers, Paul.
-
I'll join you on the M6 matey! Paul.
-
I'll let you know for sure Saturday, that OK?? Cheers!
-
Err...to save me reading all this thread. when is this happening and got room for another one? it sounds good! Anyone driving from the North West???? or am i too late?? Paul.
-
I always notice an improvement on nice misty cold mornings! Has anyone actually managed to increase power with an induction kit and some shielding/air vent in the bonnet to ram cold air into the filter??? I want one cos I like the noise but dont want to lose power. Paul.
-
Suppose i need to get this sorted before I start modding it then? Would it be a good idea to fit a boost guage? I should be able to tell if I'm losing boost then? Paul.
-
No worries. Wish they would come back! I'm off on holiday this weekend! woohoo! Paul.
