  1. If your sidewalls are too soft you should feel that when going round corners shouldn't you? A friend of mine had this problem on his Impreza when he fitted some Falken tires, it was plainly dangerous to drive! When he switched back to Pirelli's the car felt safe again.

  2. Upside down. The shiny part that comes out of the strut should be on the car's side if you know what I mean. I have had no problems with the RMM rear wing which weighs 5kg compared to the 3kg of the stock rear wing. Flavio
  3. Check if they are fitted the right way. I once fitted them backwards and the lid kept dropping on my head as well. Flavio http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid14/p142c9363fa12dc3dab98011a9003dc88/fde38afb.jpg
  4. There are some doubts about the Redline oil for the Getrag tranny but the Esso Dexron oil I mentioned is approved by Toyota and is the only other oil except the V160 oil that is mentioned in my Toyota manual. BTW You need 1.8 liters for the 6-speed tranny. Flavio
  5. You can use Esso ATF Dexron D-21065 instead of V160 fluid. It's easier to get and a lot cheaper as well! How much you need should be in your owner's manual. Flavio
  6. Guys, You should visit Blankenberge while you're in Belgium. It's close to Oostende and between 29 May and 1 June there are some harbour festivities there which are always fun. If you guys are going there I'm coming over with my Supra for the day as well since we are organising a rally there for our customers. 18 Fairline luxury powerboats (http://www.fairline.com) are going to be in the marina.

  7. Yes, my car is LHD. Paul Whiffin has a Powerhouse single turbo kit, I believe the Street kit. Flavio
  8. Keith Ta runs twin T66's. Here are some latest pics of his awesome Supra: http://www.imagestation.com/album/?id=4290358979 Look at the exhaust and header http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid59/pf6f70c392fff9d95fa70fda5a7b134f0/fc587c38.jpg http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid59/p72a42a5a83d253cc2e3fb0e5074c6ad1/fc587b50.jpg Flavio http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid14/p142c9363fa12dc3dab98011a9003dc88/fde38afb.jpg
  9. If I remember correctly you should set this switch to WG (Wastegate) if you're single turbo or set it to AC (Actuator) if you're still on the stock twins. Flavio http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid14/p142c9363fa12dc3dab98011a9003dc88/fde38afb.jpg
  10. I have 10x19ET51 rear wheels and 9x19ET50 front wheels and actually added spacers (5mm per side front, 15mm per side rear) to make the car look a little more aggressive. My car is lowered with Eibach springs and Koni shocks and the wheels do not rub. Flavio
  11. Those were probably Davin wheels, http://www.davinwheels.com. Very, very expensive! Flavio
  12. Mark, Have you ever tested whether your hybrids actually give more power at 2 bar compared to say 1.5 bar? Flavio
  13. You can use the absolute turbo pressure as a very rough indicator of how the power will grow when raising boost. 2 bar is 3 bar absolute 1.2 bar is 2.2 bar absolute So 2 bar would roughly give 36% more power (3/2.2) than 1.2 bar. If the car has 400hp at 1.2 bar it would have 544hp at 2 bar. But remember this is only a very rough calculation. Flavio
  14. Adam is right, it's not just the turbo kit you have to pay for. You need at least a big frount mounted intercooler, an upgraded clutch, piggyback electronics (VPC/GCC) or a different ECU, a large fuel system, NOS (if you will have a really big turbo), a boost controller, downpipe (not always included in the turbokit), bigger exhaust (go with the HKS Titanium, it can handle the biggest turbos), different cams, etc. Sound Performance is developing an entry level turbokit that will cost about $2500-$3000 with the smallest turbo but you can always get this kit with a big turbo. I don't know if they will fit a RHD car though. Also are you going to fit it yourself? If not labour will be a substantial amount of money especially if you go the different ECU way which you need to finetune. Flavio
  15. Thanks, that won't be a problem with your excellent program! Flavio http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid14/p142c9363fa12dc3dab98011a9003dc88/fde38afb.jpg
