  1. I'm not holding out for too much more but hoping to see one more leg up into the 60% dominance region before moving down into eth and alts. I'm not good enough at spotting random alts breaking out on their own so just hoping to follow the larger trend of liquidty flowing down from BTC once it consolidates. As far as the cycles go, I've always believed had it not been for COVID we probably wouldn't have had much a of a pull back around the last halving...if any. US elections at the end of this year could factor heavily into the narrative as well. If Trump (unfortunately) gets elected, I could see the US going risk on and pushing the run out further. Unemployment needs to keep itself in check and the inflation landings could do with being soft as well for this to play into BTC's hands. This might all be too little too late though if your left translated theory plays out I suppose! The world in general seems to be walking a bit of a tightrope still after COVID, Russia's invasion, Isreal/Palestine etc. Any more of those events could drastically alter the course of the pending cycle/top. Black swan events seem to be a dime a dozen just now.
  2. We stayed at the Grand Palace Hotel which was about a 15 minute walk to the Trevi Fountain and close to a couple of the sightseeing bus tour stops. We just bought tickets for those and rode around to the main attractions all day. Admittedly it was a bit hit and miss with the bus times as traffic can get a bit manic. It's not slap bang in the centre but we preferred the slightly quieter evenings to wander around.
  3. Not really anywhere that will tell you how many are left, just how many were made and even that will be subjective as it's down to people to either register their own or have the details added from some other database that the site owner has got his hands on. https://thesupraregistry.com/registry Prices are weak right now but there is still a decent floor for projects IMO as people are still looking to catch the late boat. £20k at a rough stab but would need to see/know more about what's actually being sold.

    F1 2023!!!

    Signals his swan song to end his career IMO. Held on at Mercedes to win as long as he could and finish with 1...maybe 2 seasons at Ferrari and retire. I'm sure he'd said on day 1 that he wanted to race with Ferrari at one point in his career. Doubt he's hopeful of winning a title with them as well
  5. Is it a facelift car? Front end looks to be but as a 1995, it shouldn't be I don't think. We'll need a lot more info or at least photos before anyone can give a ball park. Also worth baring in mind that the market is dead on it's ass just now. Cars are generally not shifting unless you get lucky
  6. Good observations, thanks for the run through! I'm hoping to see BTC take some dominance back in the coming months so that's my main priority for now
  7. Not easier to change the fuel rail?
  8. If you'd like a decent alternative that doesn't break the bank too badly, here's what I did in the end
  9. I reckon you'll struggle to hit a genuine 500hp without addressing the engine itself as well, you'll either need a TT headgasket to drop the compression ratio a little or some pistons if you want to do the job "properly". A damn good service and compression test would help as well. No point spending all the time and money on a tired engine that needs some attention first. You'll probably need different spark plugs too as well as some sensors like Swampy mentioned and almost definitely an oil cooler at that level of boost etc. Oil pressure and temps would be something to keep an eye on with sensors. Even if it's just wired to the ECU, don't need gauges. As someone who's been there and done it...whatever you think this is going to cost you before you start, be prepared to double it for a realistic idea of where you'll be financially by the end. Not trying to put you off or anything, just like to see people enjoy the process and not get disheartened/lose the love when things start to spiral.
  10. Worth taking the needle off, setting it to 0 before a run in the car to see if it's behaving? If it shows the correct reading at full boost then maybe just needed adjusting slightly? Similar thing has happened to my temp gauge, sits a little above middle when warm but doesn't budge from there. I'm debating just moving it to the middle as I have a better reading to my ECU with another sensor anyway

    5 more years

    Seems to be a mad scramble to wherever the money is at the moment. ULEZ expansions seem to be incredibly well received around London as well
  12. Probably best to find an exporter from the UK before you do anything and then see how they go about advertisement. Easy enough to advertise on Facebook in the meantime

    Wheel protection

    GTechniq Wheel Armour for me. Usually lasts the 6 months that I use the car each year. Apply a new coat before taxing it the following year
  14. Depends entirely on your goals and budget really. If you're happy with GTE rods then a set of Eagles or something like that would be fine too. I've heard Maxspeeding ones are ok too but I don't know much about them
  15. How far do you want to go with it? Blank off the cap of the distributor and run smart coils? Or remove the dizzy altogether and take cam/crank signal from elsewhere too? If you want rid of the entire dizzy, I haven't seen anyone come up with an altrernative solution to chaning the oil pump for a GTE or GE VVTi one. So you'll probably need that along with a crank trigger wheel, crank sensor and an ECU to calibrate it all. This is probably the bulk of the £ to do the work. Cam sensor wise it's just a case of plugging the distributor hole and mounting a sensor which you will either need TT style cams to do or run a different cam gear with a trigger point on it. I've got a bracket mounted in front of the exhaust cam and runs an OEM crank sensor to pick up a bolt head. Up to you how you want to run it but will need to be handy on the tools to produce something as it needs to be very accurate with a small gap between the sensor and trigger head. I picked up the Goleby's kit when the exchange rate was good, so wasn't that expensive. https://golebysparts.au/products/2jzge-trigger-kit-golebys-parts-distributor-delete?variant=15746035646573 Cheaper option in Aus too: https://www.supravworld.com/product-page/crank-trigger-kit-no-cam-trigger-non-vvti-2jz-ge Coil packs is then just clips and wiring. I've been using NGK U5002 coils with great success so far. Fits nicely under the TT plug cover too.
