sorry to hijack slightly but I've been thinking of this, whats a reasonable price do you think for a pro to do the sides and back, including labour and materials...

First (and only) time I've been spotted so far was in crawley! 5 months, roughly same time as me then! but doesn't time fly when you have a supe

I didn't know you hadn't been spotted before! How long you had the car? Crawley seems to be a great place to get spotted and that tescos 99 ron is worth the trip

Sept 11th. Silver. Going into Tesco Petrol Station in Crawley - obviously for that lovely 99RON! Had a quick hello. I think it was Supra2004 (We met at the Crawley meet).

lol I like your style, didn't I mention that I already have UK brakes fitted on my car? you ever considered writing scripts for a soap?

well it is the weekend

Couldn't resist it could ya

Ok so it's def not fuel cut then! I think I might just add an EBC then and consider myself lucky that I have a j-spec and can set it to run nearly stock boost when I want too I plan to do the fuel pump and filter (and an FPR) at some point soon so that might reveal anything that was not working quite right I guess.

Think we can get everyone to post on here, just in the name of "club spirit?"

cheers all, thats why i was tempted with the profec e-01, for future linking with the emanage ultimate - but if it's not compatable yet then then it makes for a pricey ebc I guess. Just a double check, if I was hitting fuel cut, I'd know about it wouldn't I? I mean its a sudden cut out, not a progressive thing like a soft rev limiter? I will check my fuel filter etc, TBH it's been running well at around 1 bar since I got it - maybe I was lucky and my wastegates just work better than others?

hey guys, I'm really impressed with your club spirit here, unselfishly keeping this thread going is really pushing club spirit to a new level

It's a 2.5" pipe. I believe it's very similar to chris Wilson but I got it from somewhere else. I think the car is running well, it certainly goes well! I think everything else is in GWO, i have new plugs and it doesnt feel like the car is holding back. What boost controller are you thinking of getting China?

It didn't look that much smaller than the 2.5" pipe but I guess it might be quite sensitive to the exact size. Nic, you have an E-Manage? What do you use to control your boost? I was thinking of getting myself one in the future and a Profec E-01 to control the boost, but as a cheaper option, im now tempted to get the Apexi AVC-R. Do you think the AVC-R will work well with the E-Manage? Alternatively I could just take the restrictor ring out and see how it goes, but it might be nice to run at nearly stock boost.

It strikes me that a fair number of members here are bald and proud of it, just like me, but how many???

Just fitted double de-cat pipes, 2.5" 2 part with restrictor ring on my j-spec. I was getting about 0.9 bar before and i'm still getting exactly the same now. Is this unusual, should I remove the restrictor or take it as a good thing and fit an EBC to get it up to around 1.2 and then have the ability to set back to standard when/if I need to. Car has a full cat-back so I don't think there is any other restriction in the system. BTW, the car now sounds fantastic, nice burbling and popping on overrun.

Club spirit! Give them to Nish!!!!!

lol well if I had some "spare" uk front brake calipers I'd do the same

You're right, I couldn't believe my luck In true "forum spirit" does anyone want to give me their UK spec front discs now? heh

nice to have a car that still makes you smile every time isn't it lol around my way my car has attracted a fan-base from the local kids, I was washing it the other day and the little lad came over to me and was chatting, I asked "so what's your favourite car then?" - expecting him to say Ferrari or something (wouldn’t blame him) and he said "The Supra!". It might have been the social pressure though lol. Last night I was waiting to get a kebab (was hungry!) and this drunk chap came past and was gob smacked. he said "wow what is it!? It's got so much erm like so much erm like err" so I offered "road presence?" and he said “hey yeah that’s it”, we chatted about it and he was obviously impressed and then he went off up the road going "fecking hell" and so on... think he liked it. Ahh it’s the little things make you smile

Traveling East down Leylands road towards Wivelsfield station at around 9:15, Silver car with a woman driving it, think the car looked fairly standard.

Mine seems to operate like this too. Whenever I see it I panic if I don't know the wearabouts of a local garage lol Best not to let it get that low, I tend to fill up when it gets down near 1/4 full now. I've noticed the gauge is seriously non-linear though! PS: I read somewhere it "should" come on when there is only 10l left in the tank

So maybe it was a uk spec pipe after all?

Really, well I never knew that, I'll have to look into that further then. If it has no "legal standing" then I'm very surprised but then that means it relies even more on people sticking to the rules and the "principles of it" of it in order for it to work for everyone. TBH I'd never attempt to take it to that level, who would. The worst you probably risk is getting bad feedback or getting your account removed. Depends if you value your account I guess, some people do. Thanks for the suport though

Oh no, this thread is still not dead! ebay does carry legal obligation in every sense of the word, check out the t&c's When you click on "buy it now" or "win an auction" that is the same as walking through the checkout at a shop, the only difference being that the goods and money may be be physically exchanged at a later date - thats the practicality of online trading of course. The goods are still legally yours and the money owed is legally the sellers, it's a contract between you. Would you hand your purchased goods back to another customer at a shop because they moaned it was the last one on the shelf and they saw it first, very unlikely. imagine this at say a supermarket. If you did it would be your choice but at the end of the day no ones going to think badly because you didn't, for whatever reason. To Merkx - Well if the seller was happy to sell them at £70, which he obviously was then I also could have negotiated that price, doesn't really make any odds. The only thing was that Nish and I avoided a bidding battle which most like would have doubled the price and one of us would have ended up paying a lot more... It's all fair and square at the end of the day, the seller did mess up, as did Nish. What should have happened was that the seller told Nish he missed the boat (by taking his eye off the ball) from the start and this whole sorry situation would have been dampened from the start.

Yes, well I think he is just selling it at the moment, nice car, single turbo vvti I believe
