If it helps m8, I got a load of spare hosting space too

The withdraw game doesn't work now, ebay will not allow a seller to close an auction if it's less than 12 hours from the end. Rarely any item makes it's true value until the last few mins, so he's never gonna pull that one off. I still think he will try to get a deposit by paypal or cheque & then send the buyer a phone number for a Noble that is for sale (as stated in the auction). He's relying on the fact that so many don't read ads properly and most of us go goggle eyed when we see a bargain !

Am I reading this right ?? Looks to me as if he's found a Noble in the autotrader & wants a £100 starting bid for the contact number. Legal - probably (binding contract & all that), although the header shows the cars details. Will he get away with it - probably not but the guys got some front !

Shame some people have to drive a supra like that I'm all for driving at a good rate, but it's not hard to respect other road users a bit is it Or am I just too old to drive a supra

Cheers Leett I didn't even know there was a 1JZ vvti version ! Presumably it's the one from the later Soarers or similar. But again it's going to be costly & with a plentiful supply of old Soarers around, I'm still favouring the 1JZ head off one on my Na block (after finding out what HG I need to get the compression right for TT's -- but if the block is identical then probably standard ??). I know it's never going to be as good as a hybrid or single setup, but I can't see why it wouldn't be close to a standard TT & without horrendous expense. I will have a close look at the soarer when it lands here tomorrow & see if it "looks" a fairly easy change. Hope it doesn't look *too* promising, don't really want to rip this Soarer apart for fun

thanks for that STT Very good of you I am ok though, got a 91 Soarer arriving here tomorrow so I shall investigate a lot before it goes to a new home Is your 1JZ in a Supra MK3 or a Soarer ??

Err NO Need to login to read messages Can't register because they're not accepting any new applications Another good bit of help buggered by red tape

i'm interested in this one on a budget too Again not for the Supra, I'm thinking of keeping a 2.5 TT Soarer as a runabout to save miles on my toy & running it @ 40p a litre lights my eyes up

Well you're not far from me Suprastar, so if I go this route, you are welcome to come along now & then to take the pi$$ when it's all going wrong

Done lots of searching Leett but as far as I can find, nobody has done it in a supra yet ??? 3 reasons I can think of 1. Not enough power for most (probable) 2. Too difficult (unlikely) 3. Too costly (unlikely) I know soarers are plentiful & not too expensive, so assuming I found a smashed one, I can't see it being a terribly difficult job, or extremely expensive, but i posted this to see if i was missing the obvious !

Somebody please let me know WHY this won't work ...... Firstly, I could be wrong but believe that the 2jz-gte & 1jz blocks are basically the same except for the crank thro being longer on the 2jz-gte to give 3000 rather than 2500cc So....... IF the 1jz head fits on a 2jz-gte block, is it possible to drop it on with the TT setup to convert the NA supra into a TT ??? the only real problems I can see are the ECU & minor niggles like piping the turbo oil feed. I'm probably talking stupid but would still like to know WHY it's not an option. I would love to squeeze a bit more power from the NA, but don't want or need 450bhp & the problems that go with it, so would be quite happy to settle for a cheaper & less powerful 280 - 300 Anybody ??

Lateral thinking is needed WSB ..... WHEN (not if) she throws it at you, swear blind it was a STORED text that you were going to send last time you took her out, but couldn't get a signal, then forgot it Just another idea

It's all been said, but this bit ........... Is exactly what I did, only after 3 weeks 3 is absolute garbage, I wouldn't give a 3 phone pocket space

Sounds like one that was put through one of the trade auctions a while ago. Also had lots of neons under it and air suspension. Looked well but not good close up !

Thanks for the replies, but now it's bugging me That said, I got a WRX sorted last night (had all sorts of "engine check" problems), then took it out a few times on tests & thought it felt a bit flat -- asked my son to try it & he said it went well (same son that says my supra is flat). Faye - NO mods whatsoever, I always thought it was a bit of a waste of time with an N/A ???? It's always surprised me that a 3L 24V with no turbo is such a "cammy" engine to drive, the best i can compare it to is a 16V GTE or Fiat Twin cam type power ....... like flicking a switch at 5000 rpm I really don't want a noisy exhaust, I love the car just as it is (plain & simple), but is an induction kit a worthwhile option ?? I thought I had read on her etht mods on NA were for noisy effect only & that's really not my aim. Could it be this valve thing that's the problem ??
