Only messing anyway, its not for sale...still so much more to do to it...
-
35k and its yours..

I've got 9x19 and 10x19 with Eibachs and it doesn't rub at all.

Yep, my RPS flywheel doesn't chatter at all, mine ticks over at 840rpm so not particularly high. But then I've heard Zac's RPS flywheel and that rattles like a c**t. May be they fitted it wrongly, all I know if mine is quiet as a mouse. 6 puck clutch is a bit of a bitch though for everyday use, luckily that doesn't matter to me as I only use me motor for nice days. OH and I was at Donington Sunday and it didn't get any noisier when warm, may be I have a freak one!

I just fitted an RPS lightened flywheel in my beast and its superb, revs up quicker and no rattling whatsoever, you wouldn't know the difference in that area. Also fitted a 6 puck with sprung hub disc as the std discs i was using started to slip. For your use Ash I'd recommend an RPS max series with street(std) disc, thats what I've been using for years now and only just started slipping now I've been bunging 600bhp through it. If you can afford a flywheel then do that as well.

Nope AFR is air fuel ratio, AFC is a piggy back device Apexi sell to adjust the fuelling, £215 + VAT.

cold morning, dry twisties - hot brakes!

Yep, got a few more mods on the way soon... -
Well the KAD kits use AP discs at the moment so they wont be much cheaper really, I do know there are some cheaper discs on there way, from Germany I think it was, so that might make them worthwhile doing. Project Mu's are around £350 each approx plus getting them back from Japan to here plus duty and VAT, pretty much pointless, might as well fit a big brake upgrade.

Just to let you know there is a KAD rear kit in the pipe line as well to match up with the fronts, all I know at the moment is they will be 4 pot alloy calipers, as soon as I have more news I will of course let you chaps no. -
I got mine from the states, no problem supplying these as well.

I didn't spend a shed load of money mapping my AEM, I spent a shed load of time getting it all to work properly though, mainly because I was the first to install it on a J-spec so there were no base maps available, had to start from scratch. The E-manage will be far easier to set-up but then its never going to be as good as a mappable replacement ECU.
-
I've got a full set of J-spec std shocks/springs that I took off a car a while back, you can have them for £80 plus delivery?
-
Well they've stopped making them so couldn't have been that great!
-
Just got round to scanning my last power run, more power to come soon....
-
Out of the ones on my web site Border, Explosion and Varis all do them, I can also get Trial if needed.
-
Yep, take a look on me web site, http://www.whifbitz.co.uk/suprabodykit.htm Trial do one as well which I haven't got on there yet..
-
Yep, there very good aren't they, looks the biz as well. I should have taken a pic with the wheels on, completely forgot, I'll take a pic tomoz at the pod. There available in more or less any colour you can think of! Pink if you like?
-
Not for long mate.

This is something I'd love to be able to do on my car, the one thing I hate about the Supra is the steering,way to light and lifeless. I've driven lots of Supra's now and it seems the 96 cars have more steering weight, dont know if they changed geometry or something. Anyway, there must a way of changing the steering weight somehow without messing around with geometry that is?
-
Or to much power, my last set of Yok's dissapeared in a world record time of around 2000 miles now I'm spinning the wheels through 3rd gear in the dry..going to try some 285/30x19 Michelins out, see what there like.
-
285/30x18 and 245/40x18 are the norm on 18" I think, with some wheels you have to roll the back arches though, depends on offset and which tyre make you use. Paul
-
I can get the wiring harness for the facelift cars if needed along with the turbo timers of course...
-
I've got some nice savings to be had on the Blitz wheels if you need a set...
-
I dont sell std discs unfortunately, I'd personally fit genuine Toyota discs if you can, your Toyota dealer should be able to supply them to you without problems.
-
If you got for Porterfield R4 race pad you wont get any fade at all ever, they warm up quick as well, only problem being dust and sometimes squeal which normally happens when the copper slip wears off, if you keep reapplying it every now and again it will be ok though. Obviously a big brake upgrade will be better all round but if you can't afford it these will be a help. Also decent fluid and braided brake lines help a bit...If you can stretch to a brake conversion get yourself a KAD kit and you will no longer have any worries about your brakes, just total confidence in them.
