    Did you get yours installed yet mate?
  2. supra-ireland
    Can't see any size marking, just Crimson.INC and Racing Sparco?
  3. supra-ireland
    No, I'll stick with what I have, I think they really suit the car. I must get them reconditioned though, there's a fella nearby who does a good job for 50euro per wheel. It is kinda hard to get an accurate measurement with them in situ. Although going by the chart you posted, 255s should be fine with 8.5" - 9".

    True, I'm dead nervous of driving in the rain ever since I entered Holyhead tunnel at speed, sideways in heavy rain. Still don't know how I got away with that one.
  5. supra-ireland
    Ok, cheers, 255s sound like the best option. I like the low profile look but I'll stick with a 40 ratio if you reckon going lower is a bad idea.
  6. supra-ireland
    Oops, I went out to measure and I noticed I read the size wrong earlier. 3 of the wheels are 235/45/R17, the mismatched one is 255/40/R17. So I guess that gives sidewall size of 105.75 and 102. The alloy itself is about 8.5" measured on the inside of the wheel, prob about 9" on the outside. I know but how narrow is it safe to have the sidewall?
  7. supra-ireland
    Ok, never realised 235s were a bit narrow, maybe that's why I can never get my speedo accurately calibrated. I should be able to get a set of 245s on instead. There's a useful tool here. What about the aspect ratio? How low is it safe to come down from 45? Well tyres are tyres, but I was rather torn between which forum to use
  8. supra-ireland
    They're not stock wheels, they're Sparcos. The car's a TT Supra, I posted in here as it's a non-Supra specific question. I know they should be the same size I was just wondering how bad it is to have it like that.

    I've just noticed that my two rear tyres are different sizes. Passenger side is 235/45/R17 and driver side is 235/40/R17. I'm thinking this isn't exactly ideal but how big a deal is this? -Cheers
  10. supra-ireland
    Yeah, looks like a very clean example mate, enjoy Have you plans to do anything to it?
  11. supra-ireland
    You'd probably be better off with the one NOS has for sale mate. 8k http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=221431

    Heh-heh, your posts always make me smile NOS. Here have a present [YOUTUBE]yiTjH8z7ZVU[/YOUTUBE]

    Oh dear...
  14. supra-ireland
    This thread is the gift that keeps on giving
  15. supra-ireland
    Comes close though.
  16. supra-ireland
    Cheers Peter. TDR, you got it just before me. I've just read all of Ryan's threads on the Solaris and the AEM FIC. I agree with you, I think the AEM is much more suitable for me. My aim is for a good, reliable BPU setup giving me around 400BHP. I may go for a single setup in the future but it's a long way off.
  17. supra-ireland
    Thank you You have started some great threads in fairness.
  18. supra-ireland
    You never know, you might get lucky and beat him.
  19. supra-ireland
    lol. NOS I think you should race Jamie for pinks. It's what Dom would do.
  20. supra-ireland
    Is there anything you could recommend? I want to keep costs down but at the same time I'm willing to spend enough to get something proper. Thanks for the advice.
  21. supra-ireland
    Couldn't resist could you
  22. supra-ireland
    Ok, thanks. So at a BPU level is there much point with aftermarket ECUs and the like or are you as well to stay with stock?
  23. supra-ireland
    What he said. You've only had the car up for 4 days, you sound about as patient as myself I've had cars advertised for up to a month before selling them. The bloke who I bought my Supra off had been trying to sell it for months. It takes time.
  24. supra-ireland
    I've a question about my BPU setup. I've got an Apexi S-AFC, it came with the car uninstalled. I'm happy to install it myself but having read through the foum some people suggest that there's no point fitting one with a BPU setup. Can the S-AFC improve things or should I just forget about it? I've got stock turbos and was hoping to usually limit boost to 1.0 bar and occasionally go up to 1.2 bar.
  25. supra-ireland
    Hey Nos- Have you tried putting it up on donedeal.ie, pistonheads.co.uk or the like? I don't think you'll get much exposure here to non-club members. Nice car though, best of luck with the sale.
