  1. Gavin, Where did you get your turbos converted to Hybrids? How much did it cost you? and do we need to anything else performance wise if we are using hybrids? What is the max boost the hybrids can take? thanks!
  2. There is one thing that was wrong with what I did. I ran with a little lower tire pressure than normal. Will this make the inner wall wear more than the outer wall? I have since got new tires and increased the tire pressure. Currently Rear- 34 psi Front- 36 psi Is this pressure OK?
  3. Thanks Gordon! Can I make any adjustment with the dampers to prevent it from Squat or do I have to get em replaced? you know its hard to come by many guys to fix supra's or other hi-performance cars here. I have one chap but he is quite busy.
  4. Yo! Mycroft! What do you mean for the way you drive? Explain what it means and what does driving style have to do with too much negative camber? If you think otherwise my car is in awesome condition and I really look after it!!!!
  5. I had Dunlop SP8000 on my car. I found the rear tires worn on the inside almost bald and a bit of thread on the outer wall was on? What does it mean when thread wear is mostly concentrated on the inner wall than on the outer wall?
  6. Hey, any of you guys use BF Goodrich TA K/D's they are supposed to grip like hell but arn't good for use on wet weather so much. So I guess you guys in the UK stick with All Weather Performance tires! Ai!

    Thanks a lot! I can't seem to get any help regarding custom painting. Need suggestions on what can be done to give it that edgy cool look.
  14. Pete, Why are you wasting time looking for someone to get serious about your brakes. Take my advice and order a set of used front rotors and calipers from the US. It will work out a lot cheaper just 250USD calipers and Rotors 90USD. If you want new rotors buy the brembo cross drilled for 139USD from Horsepower freaks.

    TRD hood!

    Hey guys, I really like the look of the TRD hood. How many of you in the UK have it? Is it worth the upgrade? Are there any knock offs in the market?
  18. My friend you must have a lot of money to buy a new set of brakes for 1600 quid for the supra tt! I think it is a waste if you ask me. For 2995 USD you can buy the entire brembo F40 kit and that comes with a 13.1 inch rotor, calipers, pads and lines!! Also why don't you just buy them second hand from the US? I got a quote for calipers 125 USD each 4piston caliper. Front Rotors for 45USD. Pads buy the green stuff for 80USD!!
  19. Dubai is firstly left hand drive! So there are plenty of US spec supra's which are junked sometimes in very new condition for some small body damage. The expensive spares are removed before they get crushed! Hence I can get the US spec whatever if you know where to look! YES! About Dubai being the first destination for stolen Jap cars, but they are all right hand drive and r not allowed to be used in Dubai only have port permit!
  20. I got the brake part nos# from supraforums! Here they are if anyone is interested- Callipers Front brake calliper- left #47750-14270 Front brake calliper- right#47730-14260 Rear brake calliper-left#47750-14280 Rear brake calliper-right#47730-14270 Rotors/Brake discs Rotors Front Left and Right#43516-14030,43512-14200 Rotors Rear Left and Right#42431-14150 x 2
  21. I found someone to pick up the entire tt brakes 4 piston calipers and rotors from Dubai Front and Rear!! I need the toyota supra part no# Please help!! Front brake caliper- left # Front brake caliper- right# Rear brake caliper-left# Rear brake caliper-right# Rotors Front Left and Right# Rotors Rear Left and Right# Thanks!
  22. Hey martin! I was wondering what the loud sound was! cause the sound seemed to scare me thinking what? The traction cotrol makes that much noise? But then I played the video of you taking off several times realised there was no sound when you were launching. Anyway how are you finding it? Are your takeoffs quicker?
  23. Gavin! you have RLTC on your car dont you? how does it feel driving the car with it on? Also I saw the video of the supra with RL installed it made a strange noise when shifting 1st to 2nd what is that sound? Like rattle!

    JAP SPEC

    Hi Mark! I was under the impression that de cat means removal of both cats? From what you are saying its just the main cat which is called a midpipe. Well I did remove my main cat at first but was not too happy with the performance gain. Mark removing the pre-cat will make a really big difference as I found with my car. The boost builds so quickly, troque comes on strong as low as 2500/3000RPM it will blow your socks off!! Waiting to boost 19psi~I cant wait to fit my Greddy Profec B, BCC, and 60mm boost gauge/peak hold,warning. Anyway's mate~I live in Bangalore/ India so making a frontpipe which was polished to elimenate the precat cost me 60 pounds including fixing. http://www.geocities.com/randymurthy2002/supra6.jpg (Edited by randy at 10:12 am on Mar. 7, 2002) (Edited by randy at 10:25 am on Mar. 7, 2002)
  25. Hey guys! What happened to the numbers? The numbers make the difference to me! How much better does it control wheel spin when launching Vs me/you at on the throttle? No figures 1/4mile 0-60?
