  1. at least i think it was a uk turbo but it was fairly late at night i just came out of the nin concert to find him sitting at some lights. gave a quick wave and got one in return so yea anyone on here? p.s sounded awsome
  2. the top image wasnt done in hdr the other 2 were. i did this just to give the clouds some colour. they were a little dull in a normally exposed image. supprisingly the tone mapping wasnt to aggressive it just looks that way. it was more just for the flashy (yea technical word) looks. i like the way they turned out normally i just go for high detail pictures but i couldnt resist. it made the picture stand out a little more. but thanks for the comments always nice to hear other opinions cheers
  3. Rota GTR's black with red lip will look like a total whore then.. (thats a good thing btw )
  4. As it was a niceish day today i thought i might aswell go out and get a few pics of the car also i'd like to say a big thanks to RoyBoy7 for the wheels there spot on and were packed extremely well. so here we go (i know i know its not a mkiv ) and just because i thought it would be an amusing shot let me know what you think p.s yes that is tape on my bumper lol it was from a fox that decided to run out onto the motorway poor little bugger.
  5. check your vacuum to the boost controller and did you T into the actuator lines? i'm guessin so. and again i had this issue when i first installed my boost controller and it drove me insane. changed my spark plugs and bam straight up. don't know why but with fouled plugs it wouldnt boost over stock. few things to check
  6. i know it may sound stupid but your not blowing out your spark are you? have you checked your plugs recently? a dodgy set of plugs really makes a difference on your engine. my car wouldnt boost past 5psi because of dodgy plugs.
  7. that does sound very unhealthy sounds like something is in there eating away at your turbo. might want to take the pipes off and take a look at the blades. see if they are mashed or not. *edit* might want to check your ic piping and throttle body see if there is any metal filings around that area
  8. pirate rock hahaha its just amusing http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B7sHLjI1sQE
  9. awsome well i might see you there lol over the hundreds of others hehe. i'm going with my mate and staying over the night. should be a good laugh. Thats a good looking supe i love black supra's you got much planned for her? here is a link to my new member thread it has pics of my soarer in http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=189560
  10. *cough* it could be a soarer vvti turbo haha. cheaper insurance. in my defence i did have a supra mkiii turbo before that. but she's making good power for a soarer and there's hardly any vvti turbos i know of that are modded. but thats awsome you standing? i got seats in like M8 or something like that. not sure if im bringing my car to the gig yet still deciding if i should bring that or save fuel and bring my good old civic vti run around. so which supe you got?
  11. Hola, Seen a red supra in carlisle a few times. i wave but i kinda just get the look of *what the heck are you waving at* could be the fact i drive a soarer but still nice and polite lol. just wondering if it was anyone from here. think they were also at the kirkbride drag day
  12. see if you had made it the 14th of july i'm in that area to see nin so coulda come down. . never mind i'm sure i'll be at another one. unless anyone fancies meeting in carlisle sometime
  13. if you want some fun but don't want to fork out for the integra i used to have a BB4 prelude (the bb4 was the import) these were lighter than the uk and came with an lsd and only 2ws also came with the 200bhp engine. you can find these really cheap and i still think they look awsome. its all down to taste though. the tegs are an awsome car but still hold a lot of value so its hard to find a good model for cheap with low miles. also i agree with the 1jz supra mkiii they are awsome cars and the engine is a lot more realiable than the 7m-gte that came in the uk. i'v owned both cars and they both rock. sorry for the essay but my mate has a legnum vr4 and that thing is insane. with only a boost upgrade and coilovers it pulled a 13.6 quarter mile time. pics of both the supra mkiii the prelude bb4
  14. not to sure on the code but if it is the speed sender is your car an import as it could be the mph conversion maybe the solder is getting weak? notice any random speed jumps on your speedo? and to set your tps if thats the issue all your really need is a multimeter
  15. pics my old mkiii supra cheers for reply
  16. Hi guys/gals thought i'd say hi i previously had a supra mkiii but then craved something a bit bigger i got my hands on a toyota soarer 2.5 vvti single turbo manual with lsd . same chassis as the supra mkiv (i'm sure you all knew that) she currently has bucket seats full 3" turbo back exhaust to a 6" hks hi power backbox blitz dsbc set to 16psi hard pipe plus fmic blitz DD bov exedy clutch apexi SAFC ummm i think there is more i'm just useless with remembering. the car made 361bhp and 409ft-lb torque if anyone wants pics of the car and dyno sheet i'll put them up Thanks shima (phil)
