definitely a professional service, perhaps we should have a MKIV Supra Rolling Road day there for the North West? @Trev - no mate, just the standard j spec fuel pump, as far as i know

the AwesomeGTI website has been updated now all 3 supras got in the league tables http://www.awesome-gti.co.uk/rollingroad.html

nice one Mike i still haven't double checked what boost i'm running, according to the gauge, but will do asap

i'm interested to know how you got on when the Do Luck nose went on? i'm assuming you had to remove the front reinforcement bar & possibly the plastic shielding behind it, but any other modifications required? and how well does it fit the aperture of the Do Luck nose using the brackets etc supplied? thanks, Wes

This is the 2nd time i've had the car dyno'd, once when it was almost standard (non-stock exhaust & it got 334bhp as a calculated flywheel figure @ 4500 rpm on one of those mobile rolling roads) and this time since i went BPU. See attached for the results given to me, which pretty much are what i expected, but just wondered if any experts could validate what i think it's saying? If i understand it correctly, the first printout is saying i got 333bhp at the wheels (we were told that readings were at the wheels for RWD cars & their software didn't calculate the flywheel figures) which gave 344 ft/lbs of torque @ 5500 rpm. Now from searching on here it appears that Thor recommend about 18% transmission loss which would give me just over 390bhp at the flywheel, but their rolling road measures power at the hubs as opposed to the actual wheels. So does this mean that my readout should be more accurate as it actually takes into consideration my wheel & tyre combination? If so, does anyone know exactly what the transmission loss is on a j-spec auto Supra between the flywheel & the wheels? the second printout, i believe is showing that around where the 2nd turbo kicks in, the fuelling goes richer and continues to do so & the time before this it isn't too lean & after this it isn't too rich, i.e. just right? AwesomeGTI (http://www.awesomegti.com) claim to have the most advanced rolling road in the country at the moment & say it cannot get anymore accurate (something i'm sure most places would say!) They seemed very professional & deal mainly with Audi/VW tuning & race preparation, and i would recommend them to anyone looking for a rolling road in the North West who also specialise in group sessions. As you can see i got some consistent runs, i.e. 4 in a row, all about the same power, however, a certain member on here who came along with us scored about 30bhp higher than this but with only one cat removed. So, my other question is whether the difference between running 0.1 - 0.2 bar of boost less than someone else could produce this much difference, as this other member is running at 1.2 bar & i think i'm running slightly lower?

one thing i've noticed is where the Supra definitely has an interior that makes the Impreza look like an escort or something. one of the first things that most people comment on the 'cockpit' style dash arrangement, wrapped around the driver i often wish the supra had the same launch as the impreza but as has already been said, they are totally different cars in that respect

not able to make this one chaps, sorry hopefully will be going to mascrat this month though

just seen him again in St Annes on my way home from work lol! flashed & waved and he just looked at me as if to say who are you you weirdo!

i think i've just seen it!! i thought i recognised the burble of the exhaust as i was just walking past the McDs drive-thru on Squires Gate Lane in Blackpool & there it was in the queue! is the new reg something that starts L323 or something similar? definitely had the MKIV owners club stickers in the window

i might be interested, just a few Qs though: - any warranty? - what does 'Choice of the quickest or the shortest journey' mean? - is it possible to connect an iPod up, e.g. an Aux in or something? - is the TV tuner built in or is this an upgrade & how much? - is the estimate of 250 a delivered price? look forward to seeing how it fits into the dash too, i'd like something that fits nicely

never turn the traction control off while the weather's like this & today for the first time (it was particularly icy here) i decided to try out 'Snow' mode and thought it was great so i didn't have to remember about not putting my foot down!!

these guys collect, refill & deliver back to you again http://www.nitrousoxidesupplies.co.uk/delivery.phtml not sure on prices though...

fairly matched i reckon as long as you don't go putting front mount intercoolers on there sunshine seen those polished ones but i want something that is more a complete seal around the filter as opposed to just one side

i'm j spec too mate, currently stock airbox with an HKS panel filter, but thinking of going back to my Apexi induction kit if i can sort a decent cold air box/heatshield for it

lol - no way, we're both BPU aren't we? could be down to how consistent CW's restrictor ring sizes are or which induction kit/airbox setup are you running?

what do i win?

even though he was a cheating little git, i still have to admire skills like these: http://www.metacafe.com/watch/58956/life_is_life_maradona/

if SV doesn't still have it, i've got it at home

what the hell are you doing?! you're trying to beat me at the RR session next month aren't you?! let the war begin...

if the body shop who has my new bumper get there ass in gear then i will have my old bumper available i'll give you a shout next week when i will hopefully know more, that is unless you get sorted sooner

saw this parked up by the lake on Sunday anyone on here?

cheers anyway Rob, but i'll probably stick with waiting for this guy unless i can find someone nearby who has definitely done Supras before. it doesn't look like too much hassle removing and refitting the bumper but i don't want to do it myself appreciate the offer though

thanks Tina, i'm in St Annes, next door to Blackpool. what kind of price was it? was it just the bumper they did for you too? the convenience of having somewhere here meant i had no probs dropping it off for priming & spraying and then the car only had to go in for a day to be fitted. but, i think i'm in Prestatyn in about 8 weeks time for a long weekend, if i can put it off till then and they could do a saturday or something, is that anywhere near? she needs treating. after my dad driving it someone stole the front number plate of it the other night

wondering if i should change my location to Lytham St Annes just in case people get the wrong idea
