  1. very nice , whats the colour on the wheels it looks spot on ?
  2. Jamie what wing is it ? can you still buy them new?
  3. Will be nice when its all done what is the wing on the back is an apr ?. Ps is that a red bull tin being used as a rad expansion bottle first page pics?
  4. Ray can you please let me know what is going on with this ?
  5. I heard of quite a few people getting mugged , apparently its all sweet until they know you have got the cash ie come back from the bank etc and then hold you up for it , there was a thread on here about it a while back it always seemed to be the cars with prices to good to be true.
  6. Start with a 250 grit lightly sand it while keeping it wet with water, once the colour is almost off use a 400grit wet still and take the remaning colour off now go to 800 grit and give it a once over it will probably be a milky white substance this is the orginal clearcoat on the carbon wipe dry and look for scratches that may have been from the sanding and remove these as this will show , now you to apply a clearcoat lacquer/clear gel coat or you might be lucky enough it might mop up ... good luck
  7. If anyone is going to see this I wouldnt take any cash until you know its safe;)
  8. Which aftermarket coilpacks did you go for ?
  9. Not sure about the Griffth's but the cerbera's are pretty safe you have a sort of roll cage built in its mainly there though to stop the flexing thou ,but here is a cerbera after a heavy side impact we don’t have that sort of reinforcing inside of a supra door. "deformation in an accident is very different to that of a conventional monocoque car. Anecdotal evidence suggests that TVRs are very strong in frontal impacts. Steve Barber crashed his Cerbera back in January. Steve recalls the events: "We were travelling down a straight country A-road at around 60mph ish... when I moved slightly closer to the nearside as I was slightly spooked by an oncoming car. As soon as the car started moving I just seemed to lose all control. After a few yards the nearside front caught a telegraph pole which sent us sideways. We then proceeded in a sideways direction performing a very neat 30m hedge clearance until the rear three quarter struck a fence post and the driver's door struck a small tree. After everything came to a stop I switched off the engine and lights (those that were left intact!) and we extracted ourselves from the car. Unfortunately my side was now full of prickly hedge, but at least we were relatively unharmed. I do, however, feel that it was a very safe car to crash in. Even the salvage guys commented that in a 'normal' car, we would have been lucky to get out without serious injuries."

    Have a look here http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=59334
  13. 123kg (including alternator) Retrieved from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melling_V8
  14. The 4.5 are very fast my old man had one for 3 years , the ajp engines are not to bad but I think he went through about 5clutches in the end as the fingers used to snap off on the presure plate . Have to remember power to weight they only are 1,060 kg loved the v8 though due to the flat plane crank it sounded different to most other v8s also it used to rev to 8k. Top gear drag race
  15. Anyone got any good pictures of these fitted to a car with a TS front ?
  16. You dont acutally need to move the overflow bottle , I fittted my fmic but made custom brackets to move the the intercooler so its a very nice tight fit to the back of the top secret bumper mouth,otherwise you end up with a couple of inches from the mouth of the bumper and the core saves doing any ducting shown in this thread http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/attachment.php?attachmentid=82056&d=1221568108 heres a pic.
  17. Theres a place 5 mins away from me in Chichester that make a carbon roof for a supra I keep meaning to go down there its on the cards for the summer hoping they would have one in stock try before you buy sounds good to me;), here is the site http://www.performance-trim.com/product.php?product_id=78
