  1. Leave wife/girlfriend/boyfriend at home.
  2. Sorrry- FPR-fuel pressure regulator.
  3. Be interested in the outcome of the r/r.I have hybrids(AET)with a 3 row fmic,Apexi air intake,oil and auto coolers,PE 650 injectors,fuel dampener bypass,afr controller with Earls lines,Walbro pump,full de-cat,Apexi N1 evo exhaust,Ik22 plugs,GReddy e-manage blue,Profec II boost controller and RLTC.Like to think its pushing more than 400.Certainly feels it.Its way faster than my previous Calbra Turbo(320bhp-similar torque)and it was an Evo killer.Still is.

    Tubing clips

    I'd like to replace the vac tubing etc.The spring clips a wee bit manky.Can these be bought anywhere?
  6. Stainless steel air filter heat shield(Miami type) As new £17 inc post.Set of 440 injectors,just out of my car,going fine £35 inc post.£45 inc post for both.
  7. I posted this.I'm still annoyed.Apparently it is fairly recent legislation that all speedo dials must read in both mph and kph.For the life of me i don't know why.I phoned various centres here in N.Ireland,and received the same answer:yes,mph and kph.Although one did say that if the car was ok apart from this trivial point,he would let it go.The MOT is the same here as anywhere else in the UK.Autocars answer wasn't clear though.Both mph and kph must be displayed on the same dial at the same time,not a conversion displayed instead of.My car passed the MOT in '05 in England ok and failed here in Nov' '06,just on this point.When this ludicrous rule came in i don't know.
  8. Had the same problem with the wheels on my Supra.Jap wheels,no caps(screw on type)Found that the lid off Branston pickle jars fitted fine.Painted them,and put a Toyota badge on them.Held on with a grub screw.Look ok for now,but would like some ally ones.
  9. A Supra is a Supra and a Celica is a Celica;ne'er the twain shall meet.Too muckin fuch.
  10. Say the obvious.400 bhp Audi is the power at the flywheel.A Supra with 500 whp is more like 600 bhp at the fly,or more .200+bhp or so more than the Audi.Nuff said?
  11. Sorry to hear that mate.I had similar trouble.Turns out its the stem seals and a ring has gone.Away being fixed.About the oil:try Valvoline 20-50 VR1 racing oil.Isn't expensive but is very good.
  12. Having to put new rings,oil seals,head gasket and crank seals in(deep sighs).What would be a safe running in period? Don't want to bollix anythig el[sAD][/sAD]se up
  13. Tumbleweed is blowing through my bank account.Oh frapcious joy,caloo!callay!
  14. Head gasket,oil stem seals,set of rings and crank seals[sHOCK][/sHOCK]
  15. They will.I was going to get these and checked the fitment,as i have UK spec brakes.
  16. There's a bloke in my town with an aerotop with 20" Lenso six spokers on.Looks great.Doubt if it would handle.Kerbing,potholes anything except a smooth road and you're in diffs.They do look smart though;really deep dish both front and back.18" will do me .
  17. Has anyone had a full on side by side,like for like auto v manual ,erm,comparison'test'?
  18. Most 'big' drag American Supras use auto boxes.No cock ups changing gear.
  19. Ian C.You are the man.You helped me last year when i fitted hybrids(blown turbos)as did Kopite;thankyou both.Have fitted PE 650 injectors,Aeromotive FPR,and a Greddy e-manage blue.Together with a 3 core Greddy intercooler,Walbro pump,full de-cat,Apexi N1 exhaust and air intake,plus a boost controller,car is going flippin' great!Even with RLTC,there are moments when the rear end will really step out. That said if i had the gelt,i'd have a PHR stage 2 single.At the moment though,there's bugger all wrong with hybrids:)
  20. Can anyone help with wheel centres?
  21. I dont know.On the back it says JAWA.The Japanese Light Alloy Company.I made some caps(not in photo) from mmm,Branston pickle jar tops,painted them black and stuck Toyota emblems in the middle.Would like some proper ones though!
  22. Did a photoshop of the car;pleased with it.Also;anyone know of a cap to fit these wheels(it should be a screw on type nut)Thanks

    Supra Pics

    Tanks lads.Bought it from Paul Whiffin last year.Currently running hybrids at 1.4.Flying.The seat covers were from Leatherseats.com in the States,:a bargain on e-bay.I think they were $299 for the front ,then an offer of $175 for the rear.A bloke fitted them here.Was going to do it myself(full instructions on the site)but chickened out.Wheels need a refurb.Found out they were made by the Japanese Light Alloy Company,are true split alluminium rims,so will keep them.Thanks again for the comments.Now i know how to post pics will do some more:)
