The Scarecrow's 1997 Genuine RZ VVT-i Supra From AUSTRALIA

[Guest The Scarecrow]

Very nice Supra mate.

 

Could you give me a quick feedback on your OS Gike twin plate clutch. How is it to use?

 

The clutch is great. very easy to live with, with a little bite on gear changers but still slippable when reversing up hill or doing steep hill starts. its also very reasonable if you want a "slow engage" if you want to ride it a little. just takes a bit of time to perfect your teckneek.

 

iv also got the lightened flywheel, so i get a bit of chatter and noise in 6th @ >2500 rpm under load.

 

Hi Trent, good to see some one so committed to their car. Also some sensible mods to start off, good of clutch choice with the Giken clutch, had the twin in a Skyline, lovely clutch. You have a good looking car, which you obviously love to bits.

 

thanks mate, the RLTC dat you gave me is tops. if since found out i have in intermittent drop out on one of my wheel speed sensors, but im replacing the rotors soon so ill check it all over then. but besides that its all good.

I am loving this car, it is stunning! What interests me the most if the dash!

 

Is that photo trickery or do the dials emit light that well & clear? I'd like to go the LED route but my biggest issue is the ones which I have seen have dark flat spots & then bright light spots (I don't mind a little, but these the differences were quite a bit).

zero photoshop there, thats the result of quality LED's. i got mine from Linky linky (pleases check your dash uses this globe before ordering for the most part they are even but like all after-market situations not 100%. but compared with stock looks so much better.
