  1. It you sort it by name, I came second! Who needs turbos.
  2. He must have been there for a while, we saw him on leaving too..
  3. Don't forget to factor in that Steve drives like a girl, and his car seems to live in the garage!
  4. Don't you know how old you are?
  5. Nice invention! It's his daughter..
  6. I knew it happened, but I was expecting a few mm rather than over a centimetre! You should try staying up for an additional 12-24 hours to test for furthur compression Ian.
  7. How would this work if you had multiple sets of wheels Wez? Can the receiver store profiles for different sets or do you need to re-register the transmitters each time?

    Looking at your previous posts, you have an Aerotop? In which case there isn't a blind either. It would get in the way when you put the roof in there otherwise.

    There isn't one..
  10. I will try changing the dizzy, plug cables, and cleaning the O2 sensors (and possibly gaining or losing a mighty ten pence in the process!). legendswraith do you mean the sensor that's behind the air filter by MAF or something else? I searched on here and apparently the NA has no MAF (I'm not entirely sure what one is). I'm not sure which the vacuum lines are either, but I haven't searched for those yet! No need for the sarcasm Ian. I didn't get home until 9pm on Saturday (misfire appeared when I was out) and pulling my other car apart to test that late in the evening when I was doing a sprint the next morning didn't appeal. Luckily Bazza (one of the organisers of the Toyota Sprint Series) gave me the OK to run my daily, so I took the relaxed option and did that - and got some sleep instead (5am start!). You may if you wish remove the 'Urgent', since it is no longer so.
  11. It's a non turbo, so I don't think any of that applies? Thanks though.
  12. It doesn't hurt to be a little presumptuous now and then.
  13. I think it means he can't spell.
  14. Sounds like the driver needs an upgrade to me.
  15. I was a bit tired to take a look at this, so only had a play today. The car runs perfectly when cold, idles nicely, seemed to take off ok. It starts playing up when it's warmed up, and going back to idle shows a very slight misfire (engine sounds fine, I can only hear it from the exhaust) - disconnecting a spark plug produced a much more prounced misfire and a less healthy sounding engine (I tried them all, but each caused a completely different effect to when they're all connected). I did the ecu diagnostic, by shorting the pins and checking for an error code - there were none stored. Is there something else I should be looking at here? I would think the difference between hot/cold running would rule out the Distributor and sparks (and I would have thought that'd produce an error code)?
  16. Not that I've noticed, but I haven't really pushed them for that very reason. I'll be taking the Aerotop to Nurburgring, and that's a lot heavier.. still goes quite well though, as I discovered yesterday.
  17. I've not researched this at all, but are you saying that potentially going from NA > Built Single on a GE could be more viable than going GE > GTE > Single?
  18. I've just taken my NA 5Spd out for a run, and it's not right at all. The power is very hesitant past 4krpm, if it comes at all, and when it does come it can feel very lumpy. It also feels rough at idle, possibly like a misfire? I took it for a run last weekend and it was fine, and since it's just sat on the drive. I'm doing a sprint event tomorrow.. What can I look for and what can I test? Help!
  19. Presuming you're replying to the first post 68 pages back, RR = Rolling Road.
  20. Well good brakes would be useful.
  21. It just has lots of scary numbers in it Steve, thanks though. I have PM'd James about paying for the essentials, I'll need to check into anything I need to sort on the car before going - hopefully there isn't much!
  22. So he wants to go on holiday and take his Supra with him, what's wrong with that? Wouldn't you like to be able to go for a drive when you're away?
  23. Puncture repair kit turned up at last then?
