Terminator Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 If I read your post correctly, the engine was referred to in the past tense. Have you got rid of the engine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Harwood Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 I can't tell you who the company was specifically, but it was arranged by Dude by a machine shop local to him in Brighton whilst the car was owned by Whitelightning.

michael Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 If I read your post correctly, the engine was referred to in the past tense. Have you got rid of the engine? I think bits of it were up for sale recently and an earlier thread suggested issues with one of the pistons. Anyway I didn't build it.

Chiefgroover Posted October 20, 2007 Author Share Posted October 20, 2007 Stop being an arse you say... oh the irony. Just cause you dont have a Supra, dont come on here and play the smart ass with me. I asked a simple question, as I was told it was a "proper build by an expert". I just want to know who the expert is. Seems a lot of experts worked on this car. and coming from soneone who described it as an excellent car, that shows mw how little you know. I have had to repair/replace/improve almost every part of this car front front to rear due to shabby work. Its almost finished, but still some corrections to be done. I dont give a fiddlers who gets offended when I talk about MY car, remember its not yours! it MINE. I trusted a certain person I had got to know over 2 years, and he stiched me. If I couldnt afford to put it right then I would really have gone to town on him, but we arnt talking big money here so he can live with his own concience. Now i have a damm fast car that looks a million dollars, and will only get better with a few "firsts" in its spec. I have the whole winter to further develop it into an even better car, and thats just what I'll do. As you reckon your such a techy expert you can calculate 850's on a 87% duty cycle, and you may get an idea of how it now goes. Everytime I mention this car's history YOU come on and make it worse for he who sold me it. It's obviously a bigger deal for you than me. Keep dreaming Alex someday you might have a well sorted Supra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
