Very smart. I'm not a huge fan of the 'pods' to be honest, but the surround is very cool. Loving the week-long project too.

Paint it. It looks TERRIBLE if left in black.

Need better brakes for mi single turbo Supra what is your advice ?
DaveR replied to Batmax's topic in Supra Chat
I have K-Sports (356mm discs, 8-pot front / 4-pot rear) as an upgrade from stock UK specs and in my opinion they are exactly that - an upgrade. I have the standard discs with uprated pads and a braced master cylinder and they are infinitely better than the previous setup I had. Certainly I've never encountered a problem reigning in Suki's 700-odd bhp with them! -
Looks like a good meet! I'll get to one when the weather improves. PS No I'm not dead, in case you were wondering!
-
Awesome, all of it! Still watching with interest!
-
Probably accurate too... In other news, my calendar arrived today. Can't argue with THAT for quick delivery! Great job to all involved.
-
Not abroad (at least consistently), just stupidly busy. In my current role the official word is that "you're life is not your own for 14 weeks at a time" and it's entirely accurate! But I had to prioritise checking for / buying the new Club calendar!
-
Ordered. I haven't been around for AGES so once again have missed out on the entry for pics, but it just wouldn't be right not having the Club Calendar on my wall.
-
Gunmetal, definitely.
-
I see what you did there.

10w60 is too thick for a TT road car. In fact I was advised the same for my current set up too. 10w50 is the max you'd want to go to. I use Millers CFS NanoDrive in that very flavour now and Fuchs Silkolene before that.

I don't 'get' stretched tyres. The car's handling MUST be compromised / dangerous as a result of doing it AND it looks sh!t as well, like you bought the wrong size and thought "oh well, it'll do..." Baffling.

I think as long as nothing catches on your arches (wheel offset correct, etc) you're good to go. As I understand it wider tyres are better under all circumstances apart from driving through standing water where you have an increase in the chances of aquaplaning. To be honest though I find you have to screw the nut and take it easy in a powerful RWD car in wet conditions anyway...

I decided to leave it as bare alloy to see how I get on with the under-engine shininess, but I got my SRD alloy engine undertray fitted earlier today along with conducting a well-deserved oil & filter change. I was hugely impressed with the fit and finish of this part - no messing around or re-drilling / cutting of anything, it just offered up perfectly first time and bolted into place like a stock part.

Crackle black would be REAL attention to detail!
-
Nope, definitely not... Hence the 16mpg! I don't do a huge number of motorway miles but when I do venture out for a lengthier journey and fancy a 'my-hair's-not-on-fire' cruise, the Syvecs motorway map increases (decreases? ) fuel consumption to the mid-twenties.

Love this thread.
-
I'm still umm-ing and ah-ing about this month's. Back to work on the Saturday morning...
-
I got mine (D1 Spec alloy) from eBay. 18 months later and no problems at all.
-
Sounds good to me. We'll talk numbers when I sort out my diff 'issues'... - - - Updated - - - True... But you can't take it with you!
-
and Great first post. Also, regarding this: GOOD CALL!!!
-
This: is genius! :d :d My current average - according to my iPhone app - is 16.67mpg...
-
So... Deal on the price of a full turbo-back ti exhaust system...?
