Hi James, I bought some off a group buy on here a while back. Only used them for a couple of weeks and then put them back in the bag! They are all black with a supra logo embroidered on them - 2 front and 2 back. I'll post up some pics if interested?

so that make me ancient... Oh well, sorry guys

I cringed when I first started watching this, as its kind of obvious where its going, but its worth a watch http://www.break.com/index/red_neck_bmw_road_rage.html

remember that a stock Supra weight is much more that a lot of other cars out there, so using some of the 'recommended' pads that other car owners have will not necessarily be any good on the Supra.... probably 'stating the obvious' but worth noting. On here most popular pads used are either stock or CW for your current setup (Unless someone else knows otherwise!). AJI summed up everything else. Warped discs can occur for a number of reasons, one being the age/wear of the discs. Personally I'd use stock discs at least.

Jesus! to quote : "THIS IS A SPECIAL CUSTOM SHOW CHEVROLET CAMARO RESTORED IN THE JAPANESE STREET RACER STYLE." - eh? did I miss what must be the greatest paint-job fad in japanese car tuning?? "DIFFICULT TO DESCRIBE IN WORDS, BUT IT TRUELY IS A ONE OFF IN THE UK" - Nah - thats easy.... Shy1te!! How can people who do this to any car be forgiven :o Poor car......

Happy birthday Luc... have a virtual beer on me

Lol ! you tell him It looks like your doing the right thing - sell the TRD dash as a whole and replace with a jspec unit with a speed converter The TRD's are worth a nice price, I sold mine a while back : http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=174270 and someone else I know sold their's (with the fuel/temp gauges as well) for about £100 more than mine. Good luck....

Luc, it'd be interesting to hear why he suggested not to cross them over? Jay, nope you got it spot on. I was originally told about this by a couple of scrutineers who pointed out the additional safety aspects. I thought it was even more appropriate for road use where 'you' may not want to have the harness completely tight. There's nothing in the MSA blue book on crossing or not crossing the harness straps, but they do mention (in the diagram I posted before) about the angle not being more than 20 degrees from top center, so the straps going to the center bolt on the back seat may be more than this? But then again they are also considering competition conditions. I'd personally do them as you have done... (foot note: ... some sort of legal blah-blah denouncing me of all possibilities of being sued in the event of personal injury resulting from the above 'advice' )

Sold

SOLD 4" intake pipe off my car (pics below) Came originally with my PHR turbo. Couple of marks but otherwise in good condition. £25 plus postage

Sold

Whats your definition of considerably? Name a price and I may be persuaded...

... just trying to help In case anyone couldn't be bothered to look at the timeattack web site .... It is a bloomin good clutch

... sure you don't want to bump this up the list

Sold.

... all the points tables are here : http://www.timeattack.co.uk/index.php/2009-events/points-table/ ... and there's a hint in my signature

... as Paul mentioned - these guy's should be able to do it. Mine's insured through them on a rally-car policy. That way the car is insured for road use. Just has an agreed value, no spec list or details to worry about. They realise that track/competition cars are different!

I did wonder if a clear bonnet would be cool We're hoping to dyno run up to 2 bar on race fuel.

Hi Luc, no videos but I took a few snaps whilst there... started to get a bit 'arty' ...thought they might be good backgrounds. I'm back there soon, so I'll do some videos then.

On the road the TC is very good, smooth and almost undetectable when it kicks in, unlike Racelogic that spits and bangs... but thats down to the differences in how the power is controlled. I'll need to be on track to really get a good comparison, as I hardly ever got the car out of shape on the roads... not enough room! But I'm sure its going to be good... I'm very interested in the GPS positioned adjustments - that'll be fun

Well its been a while since anything serious happened to mine, so thought it was about time for some changes.... We were recently given the opportunity to change ECU's on both Paul's and my cars... Paul is running an AEM and I was using an Apexi Power FC... I say 'was' as in true Whifbitz style I'm the test mule for the latest development.... I was a little apprehensive as I've always been happy with the FC and didn't see the need to change to another ECU, as none really shone in terms of additional benefits for track work... Until the boys at Solaris-ecs convinced us to give them a try.... so after an installation and initial setup by Ryan G and a run down to the SRR dyno I was up and running with a nice new Solaris ecu. Initial dyno runs, after a setup session, were looking very good : 573 BHP/500 lb ft ... but the boost was tailing off. It would pull up to 1.4bar but dropped off to 1.1bar by the time the peak HP figure was reached. So we had to end the day with a decent figure but needed a rerun after the potential turbo/boost problem was fixed. Back to the workshop for some further checks and investigation... Daz and Paul and myself spent a fair amount of time trying to find the problem. Eventually it was located... due to heat build up around the snail of the intake housing on the turbo from the exhaust manifold (takes a breath!) the silicon hose that joins the snail to the intercooler piping (which was normally covered in a heat shield) had started to bake due to the heat shielding slipping down just enough to let the heat get at it and eventually the pressure from inside found its way out via a 5p sized hole. After this was replaced by a tailor made and welded pipe, it was back down to SRR for Ryan and Charlie to have another go on the rolling road and we were hoping to see some nice power figures. Again things were looking good - boost was holding well and just as things were starting to look like a magical power run.... the tyres started slipping on the rollers! There were other things to be done with the solaris that day, so we called it at the following : 602 BHP/518 lb ft @ ~1.3 bar Graphs are below, and those that can read them will see the tyres slipping at about 5600-5700. Theres also a small boost leak as well, which has been identified so that should be fixed for the next visit to SRR. Ryan then spent some time setting up the traction control so that I had something to play with on the way home Fortunately he did as the journey back was dire... Driving mine in M25 gridlock is just insane, but being able to play with the TC in the wet made the journey entertaining... and quite a few people around me liked it as well I'll report more in this soon, as we hope to get back to SRR for a run to see just what we can get from the setup. We will also be putting the new ecu through its paces at a track soon, as were hoping to get Paul's car up and running with the Solaris as well and get both on track. It's worth mentioning that initial impressions of the Solaris are fantastic. This little bit of kit is excellent, as is the time and effort Ryan and Charlie have put in to help us get going with this set-up. ... and as always the sterling efforts from Paul and Daz in getting the car back to full health. It was a long couple of days but worth it
