Branners Posted December 9, 2001 Share Posted December 9, 2001 On the subject of 'Supras always welcome' I going to arrange a Supra meet at TIC for Saturday January 11th 2002. I wont risk organising it for before xmas cos gettin past Lakeside and Bluewater would be a total nightmare with all the xmas shoppers queueing to get in. So assuming the 11th is okay with J anf F1 then we can make it a date. Leons car is running pretty well now so I will try and get him along as well.

Matt Harwood Posted December 9, 2001 Author Share Posted December 9, 2001 Ooo... Loads of questions... Justin, where is your place? What time is best for you Keith/Justin? - I'm working on Saturday but may be able to leave a little early. Beers. Any favourites? JB, What/where is TIC? (Please don't let it be anything too obvious!) Is that invitation open to everyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DArby Posted December 9, 2001 Share Posted December 9, 2001 Sorry to be joining this thread a bit late. I have a UK spec Supra, and a Lexus GS300 with 18" wheels, do you want me to try a Lexus wheel on the Supra ?? I dont think they'll fit as the Supra callipers look way bigger than the Lexus, especially the front's, i reckon they're still 2 Pots.. I wont be able to try till next Saturday now, but i'd be more that happy to. Justin. - can you get pads for a GS300 ?? Dean.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich I thought they shared the same brake pads as the NA, these pads will not last long on a TT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich J Posted December 9, 2001 Share Posted December 9, 2001 Phil I think the GS300 pads are the same SIZE as the Jap Spec Supra TT, The original Toyota GS300 pads would probably not be the same material (softer/quieter?) as the J-spec Supra TT, but if you buy after market ones then they should be the same material whatever car they are for (e.g. Poerterfield R4S pads are all the same material for every car, which is why the Type R stops so quick pads are bigger than J-spec Supra ones). Dean I have some brand new TRD 9270S fast road pads (Supra 93.5~ JZA80(16inch), Soarer 91.5~ , Aristo 91.10~, Altezza 98.10~, Mark II/Chaser/Cresta 92.10~, Celsior 92.8~94.9 ) in the garage if you are interested. I can send them to you if you want to check out the size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ring Master Posted December 9, 2001 Share Posted December 9, 2001 Matt- F1 is very easy to find , its on the A21 opposite the main entrance to Brands Hatch. TIC is the name of the best HKS/Blitz dealers in the world ;-) view the website at www.torqueic.com Pads- im 99.9% sure the GS3000 pads are the same as the J-spec TT. I could do great value Ferodo, or EBC greenstuff which stop you pretty quick but arent that kind to discs. As for the Jan meet, I can tell you now, that is fine. Lovely little road outside the shop, so lovely that we did 160mph 4 up on Saturday in Christians supra.... We are also organising a nitrous open day soon, will be demonstrating loads of cars weve fitted nos too, Redline mag are coming with a fit model too......

Keith C Posted December 9, 2001 Share Posted December 9, 2001 Doh! Pick the one Saturday for the forseeable future I can't make won't you! I can manage next Sunday, or another weeked, just not next Saturday! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Harwood Posted December 9, 2001 Author Share Posted December 9, 2001 Justin, is that what used to be "All car equipe"? (I know that was years ago!).... I thought you were based in Ashford? Sunday works for me, better in fact. Is that ok with you two? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Harwood Posted December 9, 2001 Author Share Posted December 9, 2001 Sorry Dean, didn't mean to ignore you... Are wheels on your GS300 the 10 spoke type with centre cap? - I have 8x18 on the front and 10x18 on the rear. They were on the car when I bought it. - I don't know what the GS300 should have...

Rolec Posted December 10, 2001 Share Posted December 10, 2001 Matt. Yes they are the 18" spokes, 10's on the back running 275x35's and ? on the front running 245xsomething Dean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JB CORRECTION - the date will be the 12th of Jan which is a saturday and not the 11th. Stupid calendar on the wall behind me has a Saturday as the last day of the week....doh. So thats the 12th Jan for the TIC Shop meet. maps etc due to go in www.mkivsupra.net/events soon. JB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Posted December 11, 2001 Share Posted December 11, 2001 Hang on, I'm confused now. I thought, Justin, you were sharing the motorcycle gear outlet within the grounds of Brands, next door to the Ferrari body shop at the Paddock entrance. Or is it the shop along the A20, opposite side of road from Brands, with a big tarmac forecourt. and lots of Swanley rudebwoi motors outside. (Which is where I used to buy the air ducting from) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Harwood Posted December 12, 2001 Author Share Posted December 12, 2001 I'm confused about the torqueic thing/Ashford phone number/Brands hatch.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Harwood Posted December 13, 2001 Author Share Posted December 13, 2001 Dean, I don't want to put you to any trouble, or keith/Justin for that matter. So, yes, if you don't mind and you think you have the same wheels as me, would you mind trying one of the fronts for me? If you don't have the time perhaps I could still meet up with Keith and Justin if that's ok with you two? I don't mind either way. I just wanna know if I can get the UK 4 pots inside my wheels. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith C Posted December 13, 2001 Share Posted December 13, 2001 Sure - as I say, I can't do this Saturday, but Sunday is fine, as is all next weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ring Master Posted December 14, 2001 Share Posted December 14, 2001 Right, just to put an end to the confusion :o I am based in Ashford, Kent during the week where I concentrate on the mail order side of things. Phone number 01233 500384. The retail side is based at Formula 1 , which is the large shop on the A20 (not A21) opposite (almost) the main entrance to Brands (not the rear entrance ). Currently, im only there on Saturdays, which is the busy day. So, Rob, it is the shop you mentioned above with the large tarmac front, and not next to the Ferrari dealer.

Matt Harwood Posted December 14, 2001 Author Share Posted December 14, 2001 Justin, the balls in your court. I can do Sunday or next Saturday but not until about 5-6 ish. - Likewise, Saturday is our busy day as well, but we close on Sundays...

DArby Posted December 15, 2001 Share Posted December 15, 2001 Matt THEY FIT !!! Damn they look fine too, i was quite tempted to change the whole lot over. But we wouldn't want two supras with Lexus wheels would we I didn't try the 10" rears but there'll be no problem there. The fronts have about 10mm clearance. Dean.

Ring Master Posted December 15, 2001 Share Posted December 15, 2001 Theres your answer Matt, ill order you up some UK brakes, you book me in for a big install and ill give you a wad of cash.....whatday say? ROFL ! Justin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Harwood Posted December 15, 2001 Author Share Posted December 15, 2001 Thanks very much Dean. You should have tried the 10" rears on one side cause they do look good. But then I am biased! Justin, Guess we'd better talk then... I'd want to come over and see you about it though. My biggest concern is that big installs take up lots of time, and I don't get too much of that. - I still havn't even got rid of that poxy standard cassette deck yet! I'll arrange to get over to F1 early in the new year... Don't panic, it'll have to be sooner than later, as I don't have much left in the way of brake pads and I'm not going to pay out for a set of pads if I intend to change the whole set-up. Thanks to Keith as well for offering to try my wheels on his car... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
