  1. Special offer for today only, Blitz Nur Spec R cat back exhaust for the Toyota Supra JZA80, retail price on these is £712.32, we have one available at £523 plus delivery to your location. Message me if you want to order one, be quick!
  2. Still in the pipeline yep, just sooooo busy with the single turbo kits!
  3. CP and JE are bad for it, piston slap is more or less non existent with Mahle and Manley depending on the clearances used.
  4. Manley are good too yes, we keep them on the shelf here....
  5. We normally use a high quality exhaust sealant like Loctite 5990 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Loctite-Silicone-Gasket-Maker-Copper-High-Temp-Resistant-40ml/292064307081?epid=1360348702&hash=item440063a789:g:1ZYAAOSwCU1Y0ubM works just as good as any gasket.
  6. Competition Clutch clutches are horrible to use and dont last very long, they're cheap for a reason. The Spec clutches are great, nice to use, especially the stage 3+ clutch, thats the clutch I'd recommend.
  7. I’ve got a used 2.5” available, £50 inc delivery.
  8. We have some Shine Auto Ridox rear arches in stock...
  9. Best off asking me nearer the time on the diff price, exchange rate fluctuations and all that. We've got the Superstock running in 2 Supra's, both of them haven't been on dynos yet, at a guess they must be running about 650bhp and they're holding out so far.
  10. Yes as its not a Supra LSD thats used with the 2.9 crown wheel and pinion.
  11. 3.7 will be way to wild unless you're going rallying in it 3.2 is the cheapest option to go with, we do have a 2.9 ratio available but that comes in about £2500 as you have to change over to an OS Giken LSD as well. You would need to run the Dodson Motorsport Superstock clutches for that power, about £1600 approx.
  12. Just got to remove the gearbox to change the starter motor, takes us half hour to remove a DCT gearbox on the ramp so nothing drastic.
  13. You can tell by the look of it, GP http://www.garagewhifbitz.co.uk/syvecs-2109.html?___SID=U & Plus http://www.garagewhifbitz.co.uk/syvecs-s6plus-ecu.html?___SID=U - - - Updated - - - Thanks!
  14. I'm working on something at the moment which should hopefully bring the costs down on this conversion and less tunnel mods too. You need to use a Syvecs S6Plus, if you've got a GP that can be traded in for the Plus version.
  15. No it won’t work, the ecu controls the gearbox too, the Apexi Power FC was for the Jap Spec pre-vvti manual 2JZ-GTE cars only.
  16. For 700-750bhp you cant beat the Spec stage 3+ single plate clutch, great to use & not to heavy (unlike other single plates).
  17. What’s the gearbox got to do with the alternator? The newer gearbox will still need the tunnel modifying but only minor adjustments this time, no cutting required.
  18. It does but then it makes it laggy, like a big single. The best single turbo kit I've ever driven for everyday use and response is Lee Burleys car using one of our EFR 8374 internally gated kits, its by far the best setup I've encountered so far and I've driven ALOT of turbo configurations.
  19. I have to disagree, the standard turbo setup when running higher boost is very peaky in its power delivery, there's a big kick on the 2nd turbo which isn't as linear as a single turbo setup.
  20. May be next time there should be a hybrid V single turbo shoot out? How often does anyone actually do standing starts on the road though, it’s normally rolling acceleration runs I find. A big problem is a lot of people with tuned Supras don’t spend there money on getting the car to handle the power. A set of semi slick tyres is a must and as wide as possible, decent diff like the OS Giken and ideally a BGW, they make a huge difference, not looks wise but to the way the car puts the power down once you’re moving.
  21. Which has all been fixed as far as I know.
