Big capacity high revving V10/V12 with DSG gearbox. Haven't seen that combo in Supra yet.

PM me your addy and I'll post you one that might do the job.

Sorry, you can't pull that card with the amount you spend playing with cars:p It's not permanent and you can sell it on if it's not for you. At least you will have quenched the niggle that you haven't seemed to be able to shake off so far.

Great looking Supra, I really like it.

Looks great so far. Must be like Christmas come early at yours opening all these new toys.

There's only one way you'll ever know if it's going to be overkill for you, and it's what you've been doing already; suck it and see. Better to do it and regret it than always wishing you had

I stretched my underpants on today, I can tell you that having your big back wheels hanging out the side ain't comfortable!

Get the lump pulled and go from there. You won't know what the costs are going to be until you discover the extent of the damage. It could range from a relativity cheap fix, to a fortune if you find something has broken up and damaged something else - like the head or turbo for example.

The K&N is an inch larger than the HKS intake, so you would need to have an adapter made up if you wanted to do that.

Covering her face or listening to wireless;)

^ Yeah, it's a great feeling unwrapping new toys isn't it.

Congratulations J.

Looks like we all need to move to Southern Ireland then. The few forecourts supplying E85 near me have actually removed the pumps.

^ is that the one from the orange Opel Manta?

It'll come, as you know yourself, it takes a while for tuners to get their heads around things. I know great strides have been made as far as controlling VTG's ( well it has in the German scene) so it's just a case of making them in bigger sizes now.

I do, but as Wez points out, it has already been covered so I won't expand on it.

That's not even new either, they've just renamed it from "diverter valve". A technology they've been producing for years for Porsche and VAG, amongst others. What would be nice new tech for the aftermarket scene would be large frame VTG turbos that eliminate the wastegates altogether.

The link in Paul's post seems to suggest they will be, well in .92A/R flavours anyway?

Give Geoff a ring at Full Race, he'll go through it with you. Nice guy to boot.

Have you though about using one of the new BW EFR turbos and eliminating a lot of the fabrication needed? Nice and simple.

Have you tried selling one recently? Sorry but I'm inclined to agree with John. Depreciation is just a fact of life when it comes to cars. There will always be a niche sector of the market, but the vast majority of owners will just have to accept their car is not worth as much this year as it was last. The ever increasing cost of running 3L+ sports cars is only going to compound the fact. As for single builds being worth more, think again. They are a money losing exercise for the most part and you will NEVER recoup the money you spend on mods. But then you do it for the enjoyment and not for the investment.

Price seems ok to me, I'm willing to bet the trade price on it would be less. And you get 2 tone paint thrown in.
