  1. I have Tein in stock if required? £85 + VAT
  2. I sell a Do Luck replica rear diffuser, £100 + delivery and VAT.
  3. Anyone out there with a Veilside plenum/throttle body, I would recommend removing the 2 screws that hold your butterfly in place and applying some loctite. One of my screws fell out at Bruntingthorpe earlier in the year, I presume it went straight through my engine as its nowhere to be seen, got lucky there! It also made my throttle stick wide open which was a bit scary, at least it happened on the track I suppose. And while investigating a couple of problems with a customers Supra this had one of the screws loose which was making the butterfly stick a bit. So anyone with one of these get your loctite out! Ta
  4. I have a brand new one spare, £150 + VAT
  5. Just give us a bell when your ready, cheers
  6. Dont forget that the majority of the public will have to pay for the Emanage to be hard wired in, that plus the cost of the unit/wiring loom/pressure sensor and the cost difference isn't much. As the Apexi is a stand alone (no fudging going on) as well there is no contest between an emanage and a Power FC I my eyes. And I really cant understand why more people dont go for it!
  7. It works perfectly either way, I've fitted/mapped plenty of std and single turbo Supra's with the PFC now, all of work a treat, never had any of them on the rollers to compare power figures though so cant comment on what the differences are. All I can say is that the PFC definately works well, very good value for money for a stand alone.
  8. I've been looking at the comments regarding Rob's engine. I would like to point out that this would not have happened unless the engine was on its way out, the same thing would have occured if any tuner had started mapping it. I do this day in day out and have done for years now and have never had a single problem. If we had done a compression test previously it wouldn't have necessarily shown anything up. If it did show low compression the engine would have required a rebuild/replacement anyway. Like I said Robert if you need to talk to me just bell me on my mobile, I'm away on holiday so I'm on a crappy slow connection using my laptop and mob phone! Ta
  9. If its since you fitted the spacers sounds like the wheels aren't running true anymore, like an egg if you get what I mean, obviously this is being caused by the spacer not sitting central on either the hub or the wheel, get some different spacers I would. Or if you can wider wheels!
  10. I sold my blue one for 14k about 2 years ago now! Should be worth an easy 8k that black one I'd say mate.
  11. What noise was that? Not piston slap was it? Didn't notice any strange noises when it was here.
  12. Hi Seb, engine is exactly the same, we fitted an Aristo lump into a Supra a few months back, just meant swapping over the sump and a few other bits and bobs that are different, no probs there.
  13. Hi Rob, Very bad luck with what happened today, I was looking forward to giving it back to you so you can feel the force f your new setup, I feel for you after spending the money on the single conversion. In my opinion the engine was on its way before we starting mapping today. A tell tale sign being the small oil leak which has now become a large oil leak from the camshaft seals trying to pop themselves out of position, the timing belt has oil on it now, so there's a bit of heavy breathing going on. Must have been the beginning of the piston problem. Never seen cam seals pop out on a Supra before, plenty of crank seals but not cam seals. Beforehand there was a bit of blue smoke on start up, soon cleared though. Also the car was given to us with the afr's all over the place, running off the scale lean one minute then the other way then back again, completely inconsistent, I dont know how long the car was driven for like this and under what conditions. The new 02 sensor we fitted got rid of that problem. The engine started smoking after only a few pulls, running WELL safe AFR's and ignition figures/no det, 1.3 bar boost and no signs of anything going wrong, switched it off immediately and got a tow back to base. Took the plugs out and done a quick compression test and no 5 was found to be very low. So now its either engine rebuild or a replacement engine. If you need to talk to me about any of this just give me a ring on my mobile 07774 835062, I'm away on holiday until the 5th September. Ta

    Hi All...

    Very nice wheels mate, worth every penny eh.
  15. Because turbo and non turbo are completely different. The 2nd cat is the same, the 1st is not.
  16. Finishes on the 14th so not long left now!
  17. It definately wont fit an NA though if your thinking of getting it for yours....
  18. No need for it at all, 2.5" will be fine for anything the stock twins can give out, we've had hybrid twin cars running close to a genuine 500bhp on them and no restrictions from pipes!
  19. No probs Jez, hope your enjoying your new power! More to come though when you get bored!
  20. I'm doing a special offer on them at the moment actually! http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/forumdisplay.php?f=21
