  1. Hello mate Maybe intersted in this my youngest son has expressed a strong interest in wanting to learn the piano. Details of the owner would be gratefully appreciated.
  2. Hello mate, no probs will do. I believe he is away in greece for a couple of days. Some big Drag show wanted him to take his new blue sup out there. Does'nt even want it to run, just be on show, cant be bad.
  3. Hello mate, the pictures dont show off the colour very well but the actual colour is Lamboughini Blue.
  4. Thanks Guys, the nice comments of appreciation go some way to making me feel all the money and aggro was worth it. Maybe I should let the missus go on the forum and read the good feedback and then she will stop grieving me and telling me " ITS ONLY A CAR":D
  5. yeh i saw it -looks very nice - cost a pretty penny I bet
  6. Be positive mate - things can only get better - life has a way of being S**T and then suddenly you land on your feet - optimism is the key I say - Well this is what I say as I thinking work is crap, life is crap and why dont i earn £100,000k per annum:d
  7. Guigsy , how are you mate, saw the pics of your seats, they look really good - well done. SilverSoop - cheers mate
  8. I woudl'nt say to much as if it was over priced but yeh - to much for a 15 year old car that is gonna sit mostly on my drive
  9. Thanks amte - Leon Green at JPS done all the work, car was built from an empty shell upwards
  10. Gordy - i didnt even get to drive int he summer mate, the project took about 2 years, i ran the engine in from jan - may. I then had some problems with various thing, I only got it back last week. My plans are to drive it for the next couple of weeks and then off the road - a waste I know.
  11. Well my Supra is about finished now, dont really have anymore plans for it but you never know. A few pictures before I declared it SORN for the winter. Hope you like!
  12. Hello mate, have you got the adaptor to mount the HKS Hiper Titanium Exhaust to a PHR mid pipe?
  13. Not worries mate, as stated the car was mapped on vpower, not sure if this is 98 or 99. The map was fine and I will not be running at 1.95 bar at anytime in the future.
  14. Hi Guys I spoke to Leon at JPS to get clarification, he confirmed that the run at 1.95bar was done on vpower with no additives. He said the car had no fuelling problems, detonation etc and everthing temperature wise was fine. The turbo was working close to max out but this is what I wanted. I wanted to test the turbo to confirm we had the turbo i purchased, you may remember that I had issues with receiving a turbo that was not what I ordered. On receiving this turbo, I wanted to make sure it was capable of what the write up said. The results were as expected so the turbo we have is the correct one. To confirm the car has been mapped at 1.95bar but I will running 1.5/1.6bar maximum. Leon assured me that he knows what he is doing, the fuelling, transmission and engine have been built to take over 1000bhp so running the power stated was not a problem. I will not pretend to know about tuning, what is right and what is wrong, hence why I paid Leon to do the project build. Issues with timing, compression etc are best directed to Leon as I dont know. He has been working with Supras along time and his track record in building high powered Supras is second to none. I am not trying to big him up but I have faith in him, if it all goes wrong then you can tell me I was an idiot. For those few that left fairly positive comments, thank you, for those that didnt - well - good club spirit
  15. I will speaking to Leon at JPS to get clarification on the points you have rasied and will feedback his comments.
  16. 1.95bar 554bhp at the wheels and 702bhp at the flywheel at 7075rpm
  17. Thats what it was mapped on, I am confident in the mapper and engine builder, not sure what else I can say, he never told me it was on race fuel at 1.95 bar but i never asked so it may of been on race fuel but i was'nt charged for it.
  18. The 1.95bar was on normal fuel, I am on a auto, i worked it out that the losses 1.95bar were about 21% from the fly to the wheels I thought this was generally about right for an auto! Not sure but will wait to be corrected
  19. My mistake Jamie, 607 at the flywheel. typo error
  20. After two years, my project is finally finished. After a mistake by the turbo supplier, the turbo i originally orderd has now been fitted and the car has been mapped, dynoed and road tested. the car made 607bhp at the flywheel and 626 Nm torque at 1.5bar and 702bhp and 741Nm of torque at 1.95bar. I only got it back yesterday so hav'ent really had the chance to road test it adequately. However a little blip for a few hundred metres at 1.5bar was very impressive. The stage 2+ is obviously lagglier than the PHR Stage 1 that I had on my last Supra but first impressions of the new car and performance are excellent. Full spec and pictures can be found in my garage. (Engine bay pics need to be changed as the bigger turbo is now fitted) My apologies for the rubbish pictures but I left the dyno sheets at JPS yesterday so asked him to fax them to me today hence why they are poor and black and white.
  21. Maybe interested in this, do you have an idea of the costs for a suitable Boss? cheers
  22. Exactly he can box, but eventually you are gonna get hit and you need to be able to take them punches - defence is key and a good chin - geting hit by powder punches for all of his previous fights has not helped
  23. I am glad I did, I have been waiting for this guy to be dropped, good boxer but over rated, achieved nothing as a pro and already a millionaire. There are a lot of uk boxers that have achieved more and are working still. Frank Warren is to blame, he arranges the fights. Khan was surrounded by people telling him he was great, he believed it and has now been proven to be rather ordinary. There will be a load of good light weights lining up to knock him out now.
  24. Khan over rated - all the pundits will be kicking themselves now, they are partly responsible for bigging him up so much, they are all back paddling now. His first real opponent and knocked out - 18 previous fights of either no bodies or much smaller guys who could'nt punch. I am sure the trainer will be blamed and then replaced - lol
