Chris and Alana

Im selling a set of standard j-spec alloys (16") in graphite with good tyres for £100+p&p if your interested (your welcome to come collect if you wish). they have toyos on the front and bridgestones on the rear.

Iv searched the threads to find out which oil is best for my 1993 j-spec tt auto and have found that 5w40 is the best to use, however after looking for a decent 5w40 I found castrol edge 5w40 but it says its for turbo diesels. Whats the difference between petrol oils and diesel oils? and can I use this oil in my car as I like what Iv heard about the edge range. The only other one is the 5w30 but I think this may not be the best viscosity to use.

Anyone interested in either of these befor I e-bay them?

I payed more than £8k for my 93 (L reg) j-spec auto tt GZ with 46k miles in july. its in excellent condition and came with jap service history. It didnt have any engine mods which is what I wanted but had a top secret front bumper and a trd spoiler and although it was the most expensive soop their I was happy as everything was imaculate. I also got 12months tax, full service, new tyres and a cat1 alarm and imobaliser in for the price. O and the jap limiter removed and the speedo converted to miles

I cant stand my job, hate it I even applied for another job about a month ago, had the interview and just waiting to see if Iv got it. I so hope I do, I really want to get away from my current job, it didnt help that a customer pissed me right off before I came home tonight. Il stop moaning now

Its just a shame they are not seperate decats so you can put the second cat back in for MOT. I would have one straight away if that was the case

Just found this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/MKIV-Toyota-Supra-93-98-TRD-Turbo-back-exhaust-3_W0QQitemZ250065535646QQihZ015QQcategoryZ38786QQrdZ1QQssPageNameZWD1VQQcmdZViewItem its the XS power exhaust but also includes a double decat pipe for £380 and free postage, a bit of a bargin I think.

Thanks R Black. And heres a couple pics of what they look like. You can get them off ebay but I got mine from whifbitz, there in the traders section. They seemed to be the cheapest and delivery was quick. It comes with jap instructions but plenty of pics so follow them and youl be fine. I know its personal preference but I think they look really nice too. Hope this helps you make your mind up.

there you go http://www.mkiv.com/techarticles/filters_test/2/ It uses the blitz, HKS, Apexi and K&N hope that helps

It does feel a bit more responsive, looks great and you can hear the turbo whine a little more also the dump valve is a little louder. Personaly I would think any aftermarket filter is going to be better for performance over stock whether it be an element or open cone, filtration is the only factor really. The Foam types like HKS are supposed to be the worst followed by the stainless steel mesh type like Blitz or powertec. Any cotton type filter should provide excellent filtration qualities (K&N, Green, Apexi) the only difference is that K&N use a 'wet' filter (use oil to help catch particals) and the Apexi is a 'dry' type cotton filter. The negitive od using a wet filter is that the oil used 'can' over time clog sensors which can lead to the ECU picking up wrong signals and messing up the air to fuel ratio etc. their are no disadvantages to a dry filter apart from they may not offer the same filtration properties as the standard paper filter but from what i researched a while ago my mind was put at rest when I found that the apexi filter does filter the air really well and offers a really good performance gain. I find it very good. I'll dry and find a link to the web page but cant promise anything.

the apexi filters (induction kit or element) are supposed to be the best aftermarket air filter for performance increase and filtration. theres a web site I looked at recently that tested ther apexi, HKS, Blitz, K&N and a couple others and the apexi won hands down. However I would think that the stock paper element would be better for filtration but not power (obviously). But after seeing the test results I would use the Apexi (and Iv bought one) but Im not being bias, just what I found on the web and thats what I based my decision on. Hope that helps

Anyone

Hi guys, Im after either a brand new (traders can feel free to throw me cheap prices ) or second hand performance exhaust. Iv done a bit of research and have decided that I like the Apexi GT, Blitz Nur spec R and maybe the Miami GT exhaust but if you lot have any other exhaust for sale please let me know, cheers.

Whats the difference between the Apexi GT and the Apexi N1 evo? I thought the GT was the top exhaust from Apexi however the N1 evo seems to cost more, does anyone know why?

Has anyone delt with MVP Motorsports from the traders section? There based in america but do they post to the UK, I dropped them an e-mail but I got a reply saying there out of office and cant answer my question till after christmas. The reason I want to know is that they sell the Apexi GT exhaust for $519 and $170 postage which according to google is about £350 delivered so its pretty cheap

Do any of you guys have the Apexi GT spec exhaust. If so what do you think of it. Is it worth the money or do you think the Blitz Nur Spec R or Miami GT exhaust would be a better option.

I have the TRD one but not in carbon, I think its a really nice spoiler, suits the car. I really like it with the carbon wing though, its worth a thought.

Im selling a set of 16" wheels in graphite (standard j-spec ones) they have good tyres too. Toyos on the front and bridgestones on the rear. The cheapest postage I found to Cardiff was £35 (I think it will be the same anywhere in the country) but i cant let them go for pennys.

Sorry for butting in but how much are you after for your exhaust? Iv been looking for one for ages Also how much are you after for the Nur Spec psymon? I like the Miami GT exhaust and the Nur Spec so either would be nice.

Hi again guys, is this meet still happening? It would be good to know as I have to insure the soop too come along (temp cover) and if it is how many of you are still going and what time? I dont finish work till 8 so be there 9 at the latest. if thats too late Im afraid I cant make it:(

The miami GT exhaust looks nice from what iv seen and forgive me but CARBONANGEL do you work for miami GT as you have there web address above your avitar. If so when are you getting the exhausts back in as Andy said your out of stock. Still looking forward to seeing some pics of the XS-Power one and a sound clip if possible:innocent:

Was the fit good or did you have to alter anything to make it fit? Do you have any pics?

I also read a comment about the XZ-power one being a bad fit and with it being flush the heat from the exhaust can damage the paint on the rear bumper. Has anyone experienced any of that?

Is the exhaust tip on the XS-power only 4" exit? I know the Miami GT exit is 5" Also sould anyone who has a XS-Power exhaust comment on the motoway noise, is it loud does it drone or is it acceptable? I drive to Scotlad alot and 3hours of exhaust drone will do my nut in (if its too loud)

yeah from what i know the miami gt one isnt mandrel bent and uses bends to weld to the pipe, the XS-power is mandrel bent and only has welds to the flanges and back box's. they are made of the same quality stainless steel so as far as build quality I think the XS power one may be ahead, but what does it sound like? I agree it doesnt stick out as much and looks more flush, which is good.
