  1. i just can't understand how come the supra is so twitch on the back end in the wet whether etc on TT's and N/A's but yet other RWD's you see on the road are just flying pass with no problem. Any pictures yet mate ?
  2. With takings the First cat out and second ( by the manifold and further down the exhaust ) yes it does drop your BHP but increases on your torque which i found. But you don't get any lag though with putting your foot down and changing gears with both de-cats. and yes they are very noise and you can pop flames when changing gears with popping aswell. But if your after pushing a few more BHP ( good luck as there's not alot you can really do ) but keep the first cat in the exhaust. you will still get the popping and the exhuast is still noise but not allowed but all depends on what back box you have and how big your exhaust is. Hope this helps.
  3. glad your ok mate! thats the main thing.. I no what u mean though i only popped out to my mates last night and i wished i never.. hes road goes slightly down hill and there was frost / ice / rain all over the road, the back end was all over the place.. i couldn't even turn round properly, any touch of the acceleration the back would just kick out to far.. took me about 5 /10mins to be able to turn the car round to come back up to his house, but then when i came out of his to come home it was a job and half to get it back up the slight hill. i just hate it though when your trying to drive carefully etc and you have some dick head up my ass trying it on with you - knowing that he will blown away they still carry on..
  4. lovely supra.. which i had mine like that lol
  5. i think the best thing is mate just get yourself a TT auto box or manual box mate.. i wouldn't get another w58 n/a box mate if i was you. just waisting your money which it could go towards tt box!
  6. i don't think ill be going to my mates for a while lol.. has there roughly 2/3 ways in and they all have hills to go up - and if it like that in the pics then i won't be going no where. it suppose to be getting worst than this ant it ? i think its either drive carefully or don't drive at all!!!
  7. http://mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=170199 maybe this will be better for you mate. can handle power and to be honest that price isn't bad at all!
  8. class lol.. i think ill have one of them lol
  9. good luck mate.. at least she had no chance of backing out of it!
  10. not to sure what to say to you mate, but if it was you who messed up the gear box then - jesus you done a good job or it. I think the best way your going to get out of these ad stop spending on gear boxes, is get the TT auto or Manual boxes. - maybe second hand might be the best. All you can really say is if you asked for the w58 n/a boxes then i don't think you can really say a lot but if you asked for a uprated one or performance box then maybe and they have fitted a standard w58 n/a box then you might be able do some think about it!
  11. if you got the at least one cat on ill have it off you mate for deffo, it okies due for mot soon and i need at least 1 cat on other wise won't pass the mot
  12. it could be a couple of things to be honest mate. Could be a senor,or some kind of faulty switch or could be the idle control valve, or could be some think with the air flow because if it letting it more air than it should then it will tell the ECU to add more petrol and speed up the revs to burn that extra air and petrol ( if you get what i mean ) don't take this as the problem, its just a guess mate from what you have sed and with how the engine works etc. just trying to give you some idea's from what it could be! other than that im not completely sure, maybe pm one of the traders and explain to them your problem and see what they say.
  13. well i wouldn't stand for that to be honest, if you have asked for a box to be fitted and the one you want they shouldn't tell you that you can't have it bla bla, i would seriously look into legal advise and tell them you are, because they should of new just by having a look that a w58 n/a box won't handle 450bhp. and should of asked you want you want to do and give you a couple of options. Thats why i never trust no one messing with my car, if i can't do it myself then i go to a garage and i stay there with the car and make sure the work i have asked for is being done properly and also watch them do the work so i know there not messing with other stuff that i know is fine! ( after researching different stuff so they can't fob me off with no excuses ) hope you get this sorted mate!
  14. thats class mate well done for coming 5/140 nice looking evo as well mate - done really well!

    Drifting?

    nice video mate, some skills there,
  16. no way mate, well if you can't find nothing soon, i hope you get a fair pay out!
  17. welcome to the site mate, class video, liking what you do!
  18. lmao... o yes you can mate, also do a few more things haha.
  19. no i knew that mate, and yes i no there a lot of information out there but its just knowing where lol.
  20. i agree with you there mate. i find it more fun in the auto n/a than a manual n/a, and plus you can just cruise around with out changing gears, and if you can spin the wheels i have no problem lol with the manual its just you can go to that extra few hundred revs than the n/a but i find the extra couple of hundred revs can slow you down either races etc as the car pulls the most power up to a certain revs any ways.
  21. can't say i find any problem with mine, its got great pull and ive also caught my mate who's got a TT off guard when having a play. Now you have sed this could you tell me what to look out for ? or what you mean ?
  22. im guessing there isn't one of the service manuals for the n/a's - auto's / manuals ? But still great information though.
  23. i agree there, both my mates have had tt conversion and kept there 5 speed manual gear boxes, which i believe you can take them up to 400bhp - 450 bhp but have to keep a eye on the torque though, because i was told that its the torque mainly that knackers the gear box more than the bhp. but could be wrong.
