mattysupra

All i can say is that we ordered 4 manifolds of xs power for mr2 turbo and 2x gt4's. The longest one lasted out of the three was 1 week. They all snapped in half. The one did not fit very well at all and the other two had holes where they was not welded correct. We welded them up a bit better before we fitted and then they snapped anyway. Also the flow through them was rubbish, full of weld splatter and sharp edges. Ended up with 3 unhappy customers which we ended up buying them new standard parts as we scrapped there old parts after fitting. ( should of fitted one at a time and not all three over the same weekend i guess! ) I have one left over for sale if anyone would like it?????

i guess that depends on the weather and if we get bored! I think we all be there still.

Could you all p.m if your coming please so i can put a list on here. Thanks everyone.

Right i have spoken to some people and we have agreed the best place to meet is here The Horse and Jockey Alcester Rd Wythall B47 6DB tel: 01564822308 It has a big car park, children's play area 'take tumble thingy' if you have kids, its out the way so no chavs trying to steal your car, it also has a 2 mile run from island to island dual carriageway if you get board ! It also has 2 petrol stations ( will be needed ) Let alone serves great food ( so i have been told ) It is also 30 seconds from junction 3 of the M42 so great for every one travelling. Of course we don't want people doing donuts in the pub car park! The big man will be attending and WILL take your car off you if you decide to take the piss! ( and yes the big man is a very big man. ) Plus we dont want the law turning up! The PERKINS crew will also be there to promote our name and business. We will also be looking over your cars and coming to a decision of who's car we would like to invite to our trade stand at next years shows! So make sure you give them a little clean! We will also ( as still in discussion ) announce what our deal is to you all (mkiv crew) regarding discount on paintwork or parts you would like to purchase . http://perkins.potn.com/ http://www.perkinsautomotive.co.uk/ ( copy and paste the links ) Well i think i have said enough for now, so see you all Saturday the 10th( next week ) At 2.00. (1400) Now remember please that this is not a big meet but a local one to the locals of brum , so don't expect 20 or so supras there. Guess there will be 5-10. This is so you can meet your local supra owners! Other makes and models are welcome. Yes we will still consider there cars for our stand if they look good, but lets not take the piss with your mates corsa with a supra body kit stuck on it. PLEASE! If it looks good we will consider it, They will be told if it is a pile of crap! So anyone wanting to attend, could you please pm me and i will make a list. Also send me car info and what you drink. First round is free if you qualify !!

Well you never spotted me! I was in stealth mode disguised as a sprinter van ripping up the fast lane! ( well until i hit that fog ) So what happened to the purple one? Sideways moment or someones brakes failed to work? Maybe you would like to drop it down to us for a repair? Discount to mkiv members!

must be good condition. Want black really but anything considered. Also after a boot carpet.

Full exhaust?

A silver and a purple supra. Purple one had been damaged at the back Both together on the m40 not far from oxford way heading towards brum.

maybe meet up next saturday. ( local pub or something, maybe wythal way as seems about central to everyone?) be nice in the day time so still light. Im also at a track day on sunday if anyone fancy's coming to that? Taken my 5 best cars with me and will possible have our own pitch trade stand. Not sure whats being arranged yet.

outside my house! I will supply the beers! Stops me drinking and driving:D I will arrange a light cruise with the Perkins crew for you. I have to speak to my partner in business to confirm a deal i have for you brummy boys and girls. Wont say to much yet until he agrees the deal i have. I will keep you posted.

Never seen it!!! Where about in shirley are you? Do you know me?Have to arrange a meet up for you local boys. !

If there is no supra parked up it stands a chance im not there. Ask for perky if im not there. Im called wild man by the way if i am there. I should be there about 1 ish. Give me a bell on 0797 11 99 204 if you need directions.

best thing for exhausts is silicon! We used as a desperate measure at a race meeting on a proper race car (v6 touring coupe) . It lasted the whole season. We have used it ever since and the car has won British champion ship now for 2 years running! Only thing is that for the first 10 miles you will get a nasty grey smelly smoke which makes it look like your engines seen better days.

got some mintex used for about 500 miles pads. You can have them for free if you collect from birmingham. I also have front 3g 20 groove race discs. Want 100 quid for them with about 1000 miles on them.

just sold a standard tt 93 with 70k miles. Mint condition but totally standard. Got £7500 for it. Took less than a week to sell.

Right near me then. Im just of robin hood island.

yes. What sort of work you want doing?

Whos from near me and what area. Maybe a description of your car so i know who you are when i see you. Im from solihull but now live in hall green, I have a black tt jap with number plate in black and silver saying LAY OF. I dont use the car much as left on show all day in our unit for customers to see. ( Brillant for advertising our paint shop skills )

Im after passenger side grab handle off the pillar and also the clips that screw to the pillar. Pm me please

Hi i am after a new or used carpet for my supra. Really want black but anything considered. Boot carpet also Pm me please.

only reason i say that is today we took a skyline that we had loads of engine work done on and mapped back to the tunner because the ecu light was flicking on and off when putting your foot down, When we got it back to the guy who had done the engine work the first thing he asked was what petrol you running it on. I say optimax of course and then thought i better ring the owner and double check to see what he had filled the tank with! In the mean time we had downloaded the log off the ecu of what had been happening. The tunner looked at the mass of figures ( which mean nothing to me ) and then stood there with a strange look on his face, looking at me waiting for the answer off my customer on the phone........ 'i filled with normal unleaded' he said. It didn't go down well. So drained the tank and filled with optimax. The ecu light has stopped coming on now!

i have owned my supra for 9 years now and it has done this knock noise from the day i brought it. I have changed everything over the years and fully stripped and rebuilt the suspension a few times. How ever i have now cured the problem since i fitted brand new u.k spec callipers and disks last month. The car has less than 50k miles on it and only about 20k when i brought it so must be some fault from new with standard callipers (j-spec)

could be the ecu picking up det on the engine. What fuel and mods you using?

i get that to.But mine does it when not under load, very soft driving if that makes sence?

What? a new engine? how come?
