    Advice on Bikes

    Thanks for the replies guys. Appreciate the concern but i am plannong on being sensible. I only mainly wish to lower my fuel costs and want to keep the supra at the same time. I am pretty large though 6'4 and 280lbs. So mainly would like a comfertable bike but dont want a slouch of a bike due to my weight lol. Can anyone recommend a comfy type bike then for around £1,500? Thanks!

    Advice on Bikes

    Why? If its the danger aspect i am very sensible tbh. I appreciate the concern though. But i really need to cut down on my fuel costs as the cummute to work is a pain on my mpg.

    Advice on Bikes

    Hi people. Wondering if someone could help and give me some advise. Got the bike buzz and ready to purchase my first bike. Only want to spend 1k on one though as i wanna keep my supra too. So can someone recommend me a good bike for around 1k, maybe 1.5k which is no less then 450cc and no greater then 800cc. I am aware of how dangerous bikes are which is why i want to book some advanced bike courses. But dont want to get a 350cc and then wish i bought bigger few months down the line. Thanks.

    Tyre Preference

    I love eagle F1s even my dad likes them and he never noticed things like tyre grip usually. Not that he drives fast tho lol
  8. I am also interested in this topic. I was going to get a GT35R but want around 600 BHP for when i go manual. I know the GT35R Puffs out around 540 BHP as my buddy has one. Still awesome though. Which of these turbos gives the best balance of max BHP while spooling really quickly?

    Bodykits!

    Ive been looking for a bodykit for when i get my supra next week. Im not really into extreme chavvy kits. I quite like sutble ones such as the following.. http://www.body-kitz.com/contents/media/f93tsdshowcase.jpg I just thought tat may be 'extreme' to some lol. Can anyone suggest a couple of sites that do nice bodykits for the supra that isnt OTT?

    BPU Kit

    Anyone recommend where to buy a BPU kit from? Saw one on ebay worh £490 delivered. Is that a decent price? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=290179778696&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=019 Also i thought that if a turbo didnt have much back pressure it wouldnt perform aswell as if it did have some? Wouldnt totally decatting it make it perform worser then if it had say one cat taken off and the other left on?
  14. Thanks guys. Great site i can see wy people recommend it. 9 replies in 5.5 seconds! .. ok that was cheesy. Well i had 6k so was ganna spend that on a supra and then about 1.5k or max of 2k on performance mods. Sorry but how come the fuel pump needs upgrading? just to get it to 400bhp? Id like 400bhp. Would a full decat improve torque? Cos my buddy was looking into doing that too but wasnt sure what the gains would be. Thanks for link whitesuprboy. Right so for decent gains im ganna need a upgraded fuel pump and boost controller? My buddy said he thinks ill need a fuel defender cos the ECU limits the fueling or somthing? Or is that something a ecu remap would solve or would i need a new ECU?
  15. Hi all. Newbie here so please treat with care. I was thnking about buying a supra as was in my mates and loved it. Thing is i really like the skyline R33 too. Whta would sway me is how tunable the supra would be with say 1.5k spent on it. I know wont yield much but what could i do with it other then an exaust system etc to get more power out of it. Also one more question thats really important in deciding- But how much can say a standard auto supra take on the standard engine? my mate said 500BHP safely? But i got my doubts?
