UltraFlynn Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 Is anyone free on Saturday morning in Colchester to give a little advice and take a ride in my car? I'm after someone to give me some advice as to a couple of problems with the car. These are really subjective things which are very difficult to describe. Mainly I need advice on handling, the operation of the turbos and some odd noises. Anyone fancy giving there advice/time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UltraFlynn Posted April 20, 2006 Author Share Posted April 20, 2006 I'll be down at a tyre place in the Hythe (Andersons) getting a wheel sorted at about 9:30-9:45 and hopefully having some knowledgeable Supra owners giving me some advice. Might well take the camera in case anyone shows up to help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UltraFlynn Posted April 21, 2006 Author Share Posted April 21, 2006 The more the merrier mate. Call it a mini-meet if you want. I'll be happy just to get some opinions on a few issues with the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supragold Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 I have a GD Max Twin Plate by HKS. They tried to charge me but I still haven't paid for the re-build. I'm know looking at getting one of Obiwans Custome RPS Clutches. Its it a nice clutch you have afennell? I mean is it either on or off or can you use it everyday?

afennell Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 No, im very pleased with the clutch. Its easy to drive round town and in traffic. The pedal is heavier but still very usable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UltraFlynn Posted April 22, 2006 Author Share Posted April 22, 2006 Thanks to Mark and Steve for coming today. Was great to meet some other members and their advice was highly useful. Slightly on the downside .... it's turns out the I've got one warped wheel and another one with a huge flat spot. A new set of alloys is definitely on the cards. I'm going to try and organise regularly mini-meets for the members around the Colchester area. There's plenty of us and it's good to see all the cars together. (We pretty much stopped work at the tyre fitters place today whilst they took all their photos and talked about the cars) Here's our mini-meet photo: http://supra.mbiggin-dsl.fireflyinternet.co.uk/images/20060422-small.jpg large-image All three cars looked fabulous but I bet you can guess which one got the most attention.....

Pig Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 Looks good guys! Hope to come along to the next one. Does your car EVER get dirty mark?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UltraFlynn Posted April 22, 2006 Author Share Posted April 22, 2006 I stood a far enough away from Marks car when I took that picture to make sure that his car looked clean. But believe me, it certainly could have been cleaner. (Check out the large image and you can clearly see dirt...) There was at least a couple of specks of dirt on the wheel arch! (Mine, of course, was utterly utterly clean!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
