Supra Pilot

Sorry but I do fully understand it all... The point being is the guy may well have a genuine claim here, but he has been dishonest not clean with the whole thing with a lot of irregularities from the start of his 1st thread. On paper with his discription it all sounds great... that is until the questions start being answered. Sorry bud, carry on and someone is welcome to delete this if they like. Just hope someone does not get caught with this and give the Supra a bad name! Rgds

Oh really.... So the B.S. gets deeper.... ................

Good Luck!

If someone was interested they probably would look on Auto Trader, Piston Heads or another medium for another car that provides ALL the correct infomation including price etc instead of having to chase someone for THEIR own sale!

Don't know the condition of the car, but it looks like you are killing the market with such a low price!

Now 'SOLD' Thanks

Now 'SOLD / DONATED'... Thanks

Thanks for the interest guys.... I have now replied to everyone and will update as required. ....................................... Paul Mac, my M.O.T. guy is partial to the occassional complimentary packet of cigs I accidentially leave in the car for him! 'fair trade'..

^ 2nd actually....

Thanks for that..

Mike, here's a little reading for you to do...(and anyone else) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catalytic_converter I have also sent you a PM with address details. Thanks

Sorry, They are J-spec.... Yeah Free, why not........ although small donations will not be turned away

I have a pair of pretty good front Shock Top Mounts available. £20 del Thanks

I have both Cat pipes(1st & 2nd) with very good Cat convertors available if anyone wants them(or either). They were from a 95 Twin Turbo. Thanks

I have a couple items of bling here that I won't be fitting anymore. Been sitting around for over 6 mths and I surely won't be using them in the near future. So maybe someone can make better use of them now instead of it getting old and dull. Pretty good condition but idealy can do with a quick refresh with the polish as been sat around for a while. Would prefer to sell as the full set but would entertain individual offers. Average prices.... Cam covers (pair) - £110. Intake Manifold (2 pieces) - £130 Throttle Body - £45 Complete set - £240 I don't need your old ones so sell them to get back your monies.. bargain

Post 98 because I have seen both GReddy, HKS and another brand list their FCD/FCC's as only 'up to' 98. After checking around, the VVTi's seem to be also only from 98 onwards... Hence maybe these units may not be fully compatible with the different VVTi's ECU's. Brought this up as again the lack of proper info on the VVTi ECU and adaptable mods. Reading through several different cases on the net there have been 2 indications on FCD's being fried(installation was stated as correct) and another 2 saying it worked but the cars were experiencing a notable dip/flat spot in Turbo transition. And yes I understand if you bypass that signal altogether then there would be some switching issues... So maybe that was the case, but apparently proper units were stated as used in those instances. I'm just gathering some info together as there are conflicting reports and lack of correctly stated information. Any input or corrections greatly appreciated....

Anyone have a FCD/FCC devise fitted to their post 98 VVTi? If so, what brand/model do you have? Thanks

Someone needs to sort this out before somebody screws up their car! I have been looking for the VVTi ecu pin outs for a while now searching everywhere. There are many many threads with bits and pieces of info but nothing that you can hold down and say 'Yes' thats accurate or even straight foward. It basically came down to this thread here which is very misleading. Pete's layout and Ian's are rather different. The most important piece is the Block B pin 15 for the MAP.. (used for a FCD) Pete's wire colour is different.... and Pete's layout sheet looks an official one.. I have checked my VVTi and the Block B pin 15 is 'yellow/black'..... What I have not done yet is to Trace and confirm this matches what is actually at the MAP sensor. Pete where is the source of your information/layout? I will check mine proper and update with correct info and photos if I can.

I'm in the market for one of these, but 1/ I would like to see exactly what I may be purchasing(photos), 2/ you have not stated where you are(collection or post???), and 3/ the usual no price issue!

Shocking really... The plonks had it in their possession for less than 24hrs! They have had to do that on purpose.... That was packaging cardboard, it was double wrapped and tripple skinned on the edges and potential leaning spots.... as well as quite a lot of tape all over to prevent tearing to the surface.... Yet they managed to beat the odds.... Maybe they can't read!

[quote=MrRalphMan; A plane is standing on a runway that can move (some sort of band conveyer). The plane moves in one direction, while the conveyer moves in the opposite direction. This conveyer has a control system that tracks the plane speed and tunes the speed of the conveyer to be exactly the same (but in the opposite direction). Can the plane take off and why? QUOTE] The old adage, RTFQ... Read the f---ing question... There is no mention of wheels at all... You bring wheels in the equation then yes, the goal post is moved, and yes indeed, you are correct... as the wheels have no bearing on the test! I'm not the one getting hot and bothered about this... I fully understand the question and giving an answer to the exact nature of the question being presented. Read back everything I have said, I am simply basing my facts on a stationary object as people seemed to be having a problem with a simple aerodynamic situation. The question also never says anything about foward movement. If anything blame the flaw of the question! No need to get excited gents.....

FFS........ This is my last post on this topic, you can argue the toss all you like.... I am not getting into a disscussion on this with people that have read a few books on Aeroplanes(including Thomas Cook holiday brouchers), surfed the net for rubbish info and who's Aircraft experience is limited to Holidays to Spain! 1. Think of yourself on a 'threadmill'.... either running or on rollerskates. You are running/skating like hell on the the threadmill, but the threadmill keeps you in check with it's matching speed. Strap a rocket on and give it full guns.... If the threadmill speeds up to match your potential foward motion regardless of how powerfull the rocket is or how potentially fast the rocket wants to move you foward....... then you arn't progressing foward are you! Therefore you are stationary! Another example with an Aeroplane for the hardheaded, Here we will forget the wheels, OK, forget the wheels! A Seaplane, no wheels..... In the water ready to take off, giving it max engine power to move, but the tide and current is soooo strong that it prevents the A/craft from moving foward.... So will it fly...... ... Will it F**k.. 'Wot?', it will just jump out of the water and start flying.... . Good day....

..... Sorry double post......

Yawn.... This is simple aerodynamics and common sense. Have not read through all the dribble, but it seems people are focusing on the wheels.... And the Thrust of the Engines! Rule 1 An Aeroplane flying.... an Aeroplane does not need 'Engines' to fly! Think of a Glider... no engines! It can stay up in the air for hours, days, not lose height and can travel great distances. This rules your propulsion and thrust ideas out. In the example, the A/craft is basically stationary as it's foward movement is being cancelled out by the conveyer.. Regard less of the the amount of thrust the engines are kicking out. Now you say it does not need wheels, you are partly right... it does not need wheels to fly... it needs foward movement... if no foward movement, then it will require a massive headwind to react and create lift to fly! Forgetting the theory, I will give you a real world example that has not only been carried out by me(several hundred times) but also by many others in my field. Doing Engine runs(ground test), the A/craft Brakes are on(like a handbrake) and wheels may also be chocked(blocked to prevent rolling). Nothing else connected to the A/craft... We take the Engines up to full power(several minutes), the A/craft is screaming and bouncing up and down like a loon... But does it go flying off... NO! The A/craft is stationary, no foward movement to create lift... it ain't flying! I can go on and on and on... but in one simple sentence... 'If there is no foward motion or an equivelant head wind... no lift will be created and such No flight is possible..' If that statement above is untrue, I suggest you 'yes' people, give all the UK airports a phone call, tell them to sell their Runways to land developers to make some money, as Aeroplanes don't need them... they can take off without foward motion!...
