Not too early chaps as I'm having a BBQ the night before and may be slightly hungover

Don't know, what time's the meet?

Ooh, groups. New feature, only just spotted it!

Cringe every time you drive the car I expect

It's just two bolts either end to fit the pipe, but you'll need more than a bolt to cover up the O2 sensor port, it's a hole in the pipe with two bolt holes either side. More likely need a small cover plate to bolt on there?

Sounds like the flywheel is on it's way out to be honest, mine had a clonking like that when going between some gears, especially when coming hard on to the throttle again. I thought it was the diff having too much lash in it, but after having a new clutch (with integral flywheel) fitted it's gone away. The rubber damper in the middle of the flywheel will wear I believe and give these symptoms.

It's not the flywheel rattling, it's the gearbox. The standard Supra clutch is damped so as to stop vibration and noise. Lightened flywheels do without this damping, therefore a lot of vibration goes through the gearbox and causes the very loud and worrying rattling noise. The benefit of a lightened flywheel is less rotational mass and less weight. Less rotational mass in theory means that the engine will rev easier, you will also find that it will stall easier as there is less enertia keeping the revs up.

It's just the gearbox rattling because of the lightened clutch, perfectly normal

That's not too bad, the 'ideal' is 120/80, not really anything to worry about until it's consistantly over 150/100 really. Many people suffer from what they call "white coat syndrome" which will significantly raise your blood pressure when you're seeing the nurse/doctor etc. Any decent nurse or doctor on thinking you have high blood pressure will take time to keep you there and make you feel at ease for several minutes (up to 20 odd minutes really) until they try again. In most cases you will see the blood pressure drop to much more normal levels. As people have said, stress especially if you keep it bottled up will aid a high blood pressure as will an unhealthy diet. Something like Yoga or Pilates once a week will do wonders for lowering stress and blood pressure, also good for keeping healthy and keeping muscles and joints active and healthy. Your resting heart rate should be around 60 at your age, it will be lower first thing in the morning when you've woken up but check it a few times during the day if you're worried. Athletes etc. tend to have a very low resting heart rate as their heart is 'tuned' to work more efficiently. Dizzy spells could well be from the stress as well, there's something called Hyperventilation syndrome which a lot of people suffer from and don't realise. Basically caused from a badly learned breathing habit which can cause lots of strange symptoms. Often shows up as dizziness, shortness of breath, panic attacks. Can be helped greatly with building up gentle exercise and again something like Yoga or Pilates.

Is the carpet still available?

Ahh, but you see I like to watch it snap the live fly and see it almost struggle as the trap closes.. Sadistic I know I tried the whole special effects, doesn't wash with her though. It should apparently clear it's throat, grow about 100 times in size and grab the fly and start singing Yes dear..

Remember it? I couldn't reminded of it every time my girlfriend looks at mine, and moans that it's not as interesting as the one off the TV.. Kept the flies in the fridge for a few hours, little buggers still just wanted to fly away!

End of the Polegate bypass? Sounds like a good place, yup

Well as Dick lives down the road from me then I expect we'll trip over together, then maybe meet you guys somewhere? Where would be good?

Also got mine the other day Daz, haven't had a chance to post yet. Thanks though, looks very cool! My girlfriend was most unimpressed as when it eats flies it does do what the plant in Little Shop of Horrors does.. No pleasing some people! Tried the trick of putting the flies in the fridge in a jar but the little buggers still wouldn't sit still and let me feed it easily.. Just one question, lots of the traps on mine are open with flies in. Are these flies it's finished digesting and it's the left over bits? Do I just leave them in there?

I will try and get along to this. If peeps are meeting in Eastbourne first then I'm coming from Hastings direction and can meet you en route? Don't know if Dick is coming to this one?

It's fine to run on veg oil, but would need a little extra lubrication in the fuel or to be started on diesel and stopped on diesel (so an extra tank). Either way, not as cheap to run as a Bosch pump.

Calm down fella We will see soon what happens with water/meth injection and a bit more boost, as soon as I have a bit of spare cash and some time. I have an ERL 2S system to fit.. At 1 bar my car still overfuels profusely, so there is room for scope even there. Of course Toyota didn't 'whack in a craply mapped ECU', that's just ridiculous. Is what they did do is map an ECU that is safe. Safe means overfuelling for in cylinder temps, and it is common knowledge that Toyota's turbocharged cars overfuel by a fair margin. Some large gains can be had from trimming this down, especially at higher boost levels. With a bit of help from some water injection and maybe even cams, I still think it's possible.

My UK 6-speed made 396.8bhp at SRR with nothing but decats at 1 bar. So I personally don't think a happy UK car with some kind of remapping is inconcievable at 450bhp

Somebody wants to see if it'll run on veg oil

Not the one that connects to the ABS sensor by any chance?

Yes, very good, I was very suprised. It's running a stock IC as well, albeit I replaced it with one in better condition than my standard one. I've got a water injection kit to fit then want to see what she'll do at 1.2-1.4 bar on the dyno. Just out of interest Anyway, sorry TRD DAN, didn't mean to hijack your thread!

Pic of condition?

Phew, glad about that

Good job and in record time! I hope all the bits were there in the kit?
