wheels-inmotion Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 The Gaz coilover set that is being developed for the Supra. Abz has a trial set on his car now so hoping it will be ready in a few months time. I would hope weeks, damper bump/ rebound is well covered, it's only finalizing the coil rates that's the issue. Abz coils where reset today to dismiss coil sag and the chassis was measured just to ensure no handling criminals where aggravating in field testing of the coilovers, chassis was clear so it's just a case of perfecting the valving and coil rates then it's job done.

Abz Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 (edited) i so wanted to go! stupid exams! abz told me to stay home and study! thanks abz i actually got a lot of revision done today! No worries mate, we was talking about you today & I told them that I advised you stayed at home. You did miss a great day but you would have missed out more if you failed your final year! gutted ...................... Was a shame you wasn't there Dan, your Supra is stunning Great day out, weather wasn't too bad in the end! Good to put a few more faces to names and to catch up with a few old mates Thanks to Tony and all the guys that organised the day, shame the turnout was not as much as expected, but still a good turnout and some lovely cars on display. The WIM setup is very impressive and I'm now more convinced than every that a full geo should be a service item on these cars (I guess the sales pitch worked on me!) Likewise Quick badly edited vid I put together, time for a propper video cam I think Some great cars there today, I loved the RX7, hopefully Jamie has some better quality vids. Was nice to meet you Dave! Hope you found out what is wrong by the "Well spoken man". A well organized event and a good location for a meet, nice to meet some old friends and some new faces also Shame I have to leave early (plans for the afternoon) and feel knackered now !Was nice meeting you Dean, thanks for letting me listen to the sound track of your Corvette, it sounded amazing! The Gaz coilover set that is being developed for the Supra. Abz has a trial set on his car now so hoping it will be ready in a few months time. Branners, let me know if you have any questions about the coilovers or anything you want me to check or speak to Derek about while setting these coilovers up. I'll get a thread going this week to get opinion's on what people want & expect on a decent set of coilovers & get these over to Derek. I would hope weeks, damper bump/ rebound is well covered, it's only finalizing the coil rates that's the issue. Abz coils where reset today to dismiss coil sag and the chassis was measured just to ensure no handling criminals where aggravating in field testing of the coilovers, chassis was clear so it's just a case of perfecting the valving and coil rates then it's job done. Maybe Looking forward to it, thanks Tony, some great effort going into producing these Thanks again for organising this along with JamieP, think the turnout could have been slightly dampered with the morning rain today but overall not a bad turn out. Did anyone manage to a cost of Supra's/cars? I'll get my pictures up tomorrow! Edited May 10, 2010 by Abz Grammer (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The-Plethora Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 Who owns "C8 SUP"? Looked really tidy. Yay that was mine, I only gave it a lazy wash before I came. It was a long way to go but thankfully Japfest this weekend is about 8 miles from my house Can't people just use their names as their profile? Would be easier Didn't even realise you were there, did we speak? Dont think so, some guy said "he is called homer because he looks like homer simpson" but didn't grab the person as unsure how they would feel being compared to a cartoon man who eats doughnuts Hope you found out what is wrong by the "Well spoken man". All started out ok till I got to around Reading (from Bristol) and my engine management light came on. I parked up and started off again and when I hit boost it came on again so I took the trip nice and slow. Well spoken man (I think that should be his forum title) and a couple of others reset the ecu and checked the fault codes and it sounds like a boost preassure issue. The car feels the same as it always did (running TTC btw) and the general thought was it cant be too serious or the management light would be on as soon as you turn the engine on. Still its my 30th in a couple of months so hopefully getting the car a full going over by Toyota who can fix the sequential system and diagnose any fault codes.

The-Plethora Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 Well if there is somone on the forum in the know who is willing to give it a going over, check the boost guage and ideally replace all hoses damaged or otherwise please drop me a pm, I am in Bristol but willing to travel. I only mentioned Toyota because several people mentioned the 'plumbing' of the car was quite unusual and as I plan on having the car a very long time I just want to ensure its right. Back on topic it was good that there were a few non supras there also to give it a bit of variation, who had that fantastic looking lotus (Esprit I think?), every one of those I have seen has the most work out interior but it looked really well looked after. Again great work by the bacon butty van, I was handed something the size of a dinner plate! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
