OK in which case I can go for my cheapo 17" wheels 9.5J wide and run the 275-45/17 which still have plenty of side wall and i know for a fact I wont have any clearance issues.

Andrew K Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Nice You might have mentioned already but what gains do you get from changing heads? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny g Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Nice You might have mentioned already but what gains do you get from changing heads? Earlier spool, power under the curve and better driveability I reckon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luxluc Posted February 4, 2017 Author Share Posted February 4, 2017 Earlier spool, power under the curve and better driveability I reckon. Yeah .... that's it. The VVTi will move the torque curve to the left ; I hope 500 rpm earlier on max boost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luxluc Posted February 5, 2017 Author Share Posted February 5, 2017 After new seatbelts last year, I thought it was time to purchase new fresh headlights before they start to be totally discontinued. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luxluc Posted March 5, 2017 Author Share Posted March 5, 2017 I took the Supra out of hibernation today. At the end of last year, I had a small issue : the Syvecs didn't let me rev above 7000 rpm. Lee checked the logs from 400mls away, and found that the Syvecs lost the rpm signal above 6800 rpm ; a faulty cam sensor or cable must be the issue ..... 20 year old OEM parts need replacing at some point. So the Supra will have the following works done : - new engine oil and filter - new cam sensor and cable - new SRD engine undertray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
