Supra_Scott

Have you already got the rear TRD kit? I only ask as i have a TRD bonnet, front bumper and front wings but didn't get the TRD skirts as i was advised that they don't marry up with the stock Supra rear end?

By headers, do you mean the manifolds which bolt onto the cylinder head or the 1st cat pipe? I only ask as the part you have circled is the cat pipe flange. However if it is the manifolds you require i have a pair in good condition in my garage, i took mine off as i've now gone NA-T. They still have the sensors in if i remember right. PM me if interested and i can get them posted out early this week.

Is that a certain engine builder by the name of Steve? If so i need to drop my W58 to him too!

Sold pending payment.

Full set (front and rear) Goodridge Braided brake lines. These have been on my car for approx 6k miles. Only taken off due to getting a new set with my brake upgrade kit. No visible damage, clear sleeves still in good condition just a little dull in places. £40 posted in UK. PM if interested.

The first pic's are for the overspill on the battery tray, as you thought it does just poke through the hole in the undertray. Nevins is spot on with his response reharding the second pic's, if i remember right it is a breather pipe, not sure on the con's of having it dissconnected though.

Fitted one a while back to my Sup, as Trinitom said they do screw in place. Pic of it fitted in car (door open tho) http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/vbpicgallery.php?do=big&p=17752

Ibrar is selling a TRD replica CF bonnet in the for sale section, the carbon is tired tho so will be best off being painted to match your car. None the less a bargain for £150. I have painted the carbon bonnet on my white sup (see my garage for pic's) and am pleased with the result

The inner two lenses are a different size to the outer two lenses. It looks to me that you have an import passanger rear light, and a UK spec drivers side light. You can heat the lights up in an oven (there is a how to guide on here somewhere which i have used and is spot on) take them apart and change the order of the lenses just make sure the correct lights are the legal colour! Not sure on the wiring tho as the brake light is a twin element lamp therefore is a different lamp holder to the reversing light.

The last thing i upset which put a big grin on my face was a Aston Martin V8 Vantage! Best part of £90k and 420BHP, came off an island on a dual carriageway and were side by side well into 3 figures. Don't get me wrong i'd love a V8 Vantage and enough money burning a hole in my pocket to worry about buying one, but for a quick fix on a reasonable budget NA-T = Smiles for miles

Would i do it again? Hell Yeah! I kinda know what you mean Dr Jekyll but i like being a bit different. I'm running a T70 on a T3 flange and touch wood i haven't had any turbo issues yet. I would love the 6spd running gear but the price has gone through the roof! I bought my NA 7 years ago when i was 22, i could insure a UK spec TT but they were very expensive then, or my other option was an imported SZ. I went down the SZ route but was paying £2k a year to insure it. I've modified just about everything on the car from UK brakes to various bodykits and paint schemes, to having the facia for my headunit mounted in the roof lining by the map light. The engine was the last thing i did. After countles spending over the years i couldn't justify starting again with a TT 6, the NA-T kit came up at the right price from Stuart W. The rest is history. And as for Homer's comment again i see what your saying but surely when your chasing 500+ BHP it will be expensive with either set up?! Nic, here is a basic spec as i will no doubt forget some items God Speed FMIC and custom hard pipe kit, White Stone T70 Turbo with T3 flange, 50mm external wastegate and screamer pipe, Stainless steel mandrel bent manifold to suit above HKS filter and fitting pipe, (above purchased secondhand from Stuart W with low milage and at a fair price as he was building his drag car and wanted some funds) Greddy Emanage Blue £200 bnib on this forum, 3 bar map sensor and ignition harness for above from Envy Performance, Secondhand MKIII Supra Turbo injectors £40 Custom resistor pack for above made up with components from Farnell, Lots of silicone hose all shapes and sizes from Mr Sillicone on fleabay, HKS replica BOV from fleabay, FPR from fleabay, 6psi 50mm wastegate spring from fleabay, Loads of heat wrap for the manifold from Listers Motorsport, TT oil return fitting for sump, custom piped from turbo, Custom oil feed from spare fitting on existing oil filter housing, Exhaust modified to meet up with Turbo down pipe. Thats about it i think, that got me up and running, but i plan for more power so am going to get a thicker HG to lower the compression, a 255lph fuel pump, I have got a custom inlet manifold and 80mm throttle body which is similar to the TT one and saves the messy IC pipework. The FPR isnt much cop but what did i expect for £30 off fleabay so i am going to get a SARD one. I also will need bigger injectors again as the MKIII ones won't be able to cope whith the power i'm hoping to run.

You'll get people biased to either option. For me I went the NA-T route as i fancied doing somethig different. I managed to do it in my garage at home with a lot of help from my mate who is a good mechanic, for around £1200 including buying the ECU, Turbo, FMIC etc. The stock NA engine is good for 500BHP+ some say it will take around 600-650BHP. The stock ecu will enable you to map up to aroud the 440bhp mark with a decent piggy back ecu (i'm using the Greddy Emanage Blue). For more than that you will reuire a stand alone management system e.g a Link ECU. If you intend on running a low boost system i.e 6-7psi you can get away with the stock headgasket. I'd advise changing your injectors though, i managed to get hold of some MKIII Supra Turbo ones from the MKIII forum for £40 and made a resistor pack as the impedance is different. I hae been running the car as an NA-T for over a year now at 6psi around 380BHP and it makes me smile everytime i drive the car, the only trouble i had was my clutch would slip if i gave it a good blast. I've since got a paddle clutch courtesy of Dr Jekyll which has sorted this. Again as the lads have mentioned http://www.clubna-t.com is a good place to get your info from.

I have a pair in the garage. Didn't have any trouble on my Sup, but wasn't too happy with the lack of turns on the wheel nuts when fitted. Can you get longer studs?

Hey Guys, yes that was my white NA-T Sup, thanks for the nice comments. One of the TVR lads we went down with works in Saudi hence the arab outfits. I did think it a bit risky but everyone saw the funny side, imagine 18 Arabs on a packed tram heading into Le Mans town, when we got off in the main square we pretty much bought the place to a stand still, then people started coming over to have photo's taken with us, most of which were locals (breathe sigh of relief). Awesome drive down (i did see you a couple of times on the way down Alex), some great roads in france especially the toll roads and generally an epic weekend! I'd recomend it to any petol head.

Sonds like a good idea to me! Last time i watched the F1 in a pub was at the Bubble Inn meet with Dunk the other year.
