berg Posted January 22, 2013 Author Share Posted January 22, 2013 Decided to sort the audio out in the car as i werent happy with how it was done Bought a Kenwood DX3021 double din dvd etc etc Rewired the front and rear componants and tweeters correctly with some proper speaker cable, the + and - had been connected the wrong way previous owner(s) which effected the sound massively! Small 10" sub with a decent amp just to add that extra bit that was missing from the music. I now have a fully working aerial aswell now so i can use the radio, (although does anyone think the aerial looks a bit.......crap?) Oh and lastly ive ordered 1st and 2nd decats from Whifbitz which should arrive in the next couple of weeks Unfortunately today was its first venture out since last thursday due to looking like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
letmeshowyou Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Don't throw the cats away when you decat to start with; you may find it feels a bit gutless with both out in an NA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berg Posted January 22, 2013 Author Share Posted January 22, 2013 Don't throw the cats away when you decat to start with; you may find it feels a bit gutless with both out in an NA. Really whats the reason for it feeling gutless? thought it would be less restrictive and feel better? Ill never bin the cats anyway, always keep hold of them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
letmeshowyou Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 a non-turbo gets some it's power by scavenging. With a turbo you want to get the gases out as quick as possible. You'll probably be fine, but if you're doing the work yourself it may be worth taking them off in stages so you definitely know you've made a difference. Just my opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilverSoop Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Plus with the 2nd cat out, it sounds like a Supra should too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjy Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Being an SZ-R, you don't actually need a cat. And anyone who says otherwise is a FOOL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just my opinion Mine gained around 15bhp and 10ft/lb torque. As proven by SRR on a dyno day with this club! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

berg Posted January 27, 2013 Author Share Posted January 27, 2013 Been looking at some Rota Grids in bronze 18x8.5 on the front ET30 18x10 ET35 OR 18x9.5 ET20 on the rear Does anyone know if i could get away with the 10" ET20 on the back or is it pushing it a bit? Tyre wise i would run 235 40 18 on the front and 255 35 18 on the rear if that sounds about right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
letmeshowyou Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Rich.2211 has ET20 on the rear, but I think his are 9.75" He's happy with the fit but I think will need to roll the arches to lower it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berg Posted January 27, 2013 Author Share Posted January 27, 2013 Prob try and stick with the ET35 on the 10" rears then Had a look at his and it does look good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
letmeshowyou Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 I've gone ET35 on 10" rears. Not got them on the car yet, but I'm confident they'll fit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
