Here are a few snaps of the car on the Club Stand at Jap Show Finale, it was surrounded by gawker s for most of the day jostling to peer into Mad Max's hole, one of whom turned out to be from Banzai who wants to run feature about it in the Magazine.

Here are a few snaps of the Club Stand, yet it would appear that several members were parked elsewhere? Mine was surrounded by gawker s for most of the day jostling to peer into Mad Max's hole, one of whom turned out to be from Banzai magazine who wants to feature it in the Magazine. -
That's one way of preventing an N/A auto from upsetting a herd of singled TT6's.

I'll be lonely in a supercharged section.

p.m. responded to, will talk tomorrow.
-
I will p.m. my phone number to you.

Just look up at the top of the prattle page and you will find this. http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?166336-Supra-Drag-Racing-Times

I wouldn't let Jurgen's upholsterer turn up my jeans.

Was that known as the Regulus mess?
-
That pic looks akin to a regurgitated Saxo.

For over 500cc - 550cc high-impedance saturation-injectors are not good at idle and low revs, low-impedance peak and hold are better, that's why O.E. mostly use low-impedance for over 500cc. It's only 7 wires to tinker with to fit a resistor pack and do a proper job.

This job can only be done at the workshop when I can get access on a fine day and the fibreglass products I ordered a week ago have not yet arrived. I am going to polish up the back of the bonnet I spent 4 days stripping and use it as a mould to cast the shape to glass in. There are many jobs to do and each is as important as the other, I can only go with the flow and attend to them one at a time.

Today I went into town to attend a couple of errands and whilst stopped at the lights, a group of lads ran up to gawk and the ones at the back were still coming after the one at the front had stopped. This resulted with him going head first into the hole in my bonnet, fortunately no harm came of this misadventure of dick-heads. Then off to top up at the Shell garage and was there detained by a professional photographer for an impromptu voluntary photo shoot on the forecourt. I shall be glad when I get Mad Max filled in. I did later manage some tinkering and found it's the pulley-mount that's twisted not the shaft, it's on the wonk by 40 thou and by rights should be an easier job than swapping the nose, yet with no alternative transport, the unpredictability of the Engineer and random access to the press and tools, the logistics of removing it to be refaced or copied then replaced are so complicated, it'll be easier to buy another from the U.S. Whilst at it, I have swapped in another distributor with a good Crank Position Sensor and had a good look at the new idler-pulley bracket job. There are few mounting options or much space and it will be a challenge to fabricate, I will need a full days access to the workshop for this and won't know when this can be until the cows are laying down in the field on a day when it's not raining.
-
That's the very pic I purloined. Before I make a move on this, first I will see if there's space behind the induction on the other side, when it eventually stops raining.
-
Maybe I should keep a couple of goldfish in it? Here's a pic of the 13-row cooler that's not up to the job I'm running out of space for more tackle up front, so considering tinkering one of these..... by spacing the shroud out a little to fit between the fans and rad Random pretty snap

I haven't, but I will. Thanks for the tip.

I think I need to paint these purple and call them 'Saturn Series Transmissions', then and add a zero to the end of the price and they''ll go like hot cakes. I haven't managed to cure the rocker-cover leak, it's not top of my job list but will need sorting sooner or later. Next time the charge-cooler comes off I will give the inside a complete and total monster blathering with RTV, if that doesn't do the business I'll need a custom cover, is that something you could handle?
-
Fitting a quart into a pint pot is more difficult whilst swimming against the tide, when it turns and the cows are laying down in the field, the job will then go with the flow. These final developments will get sorted during the next week or three and I can then go to a RWYB event. I've had plenty of being-patient practice with this project, so it's no great surprise to have some more. There are three more RWYB days before the end of the season, Sat 13th, Sun 21st and Sun 28th Oct, I live local to Santa Pod and can pick a dry day to go and play.

Sounds to me to be an ICV problem.

The cat needs to as close to the front as you can get it because it needs heat to work, front of second de-cat pipe is good and 100 cell is less restrictive than 200 cell. My favourite add in silencers are Moroso spiral mufflers, small enough to fit almost anywhere in the system, simple to fit and take out around 7dB each. Another simple silencing system is to use an Apexi spring loaded silencer in the tail-pipe which takes out around 7dB on light throttle but still let out a rort at WOT. There are pics and links to both of these in the exhaust section in 'my garage'.

N/A-T goes to 500bhp for a fraction the cost of the T.T. route, if that's not enough penis power, go and get some Prozac.
-
That's what I was told too. But I 'slapped' a supercharger on my N/A auto and now BPU'd T.T. MT6's eat my dust.

HHO is the way to go.

I have the final components ready for installation and even prepared some of the new idler bracket pieces, but Bob's 3 weeks holiday, that became extended to 3 1/2 weeks, then extended again by a few days more, has been extended again because he's now stranded in France by the Brittany Ferries strike. Furthermore, it appears that one ten-row oil cooler wasn't enough for the transmission, which has resulted with a sticky actuator, I have another box built up ready, but Bob's lift is buried under a non-rolling shell and the hydraulics had died and spilled onto the workshop floor just before he went away anyway. Furthermore, ebay have lost my paypal payment for the Windows98 laptop I've just bought to talk to the Suprastick. Finally, the coup de grat is Dan can't fit me in on Friday either. I have explored every option available to me and also a few that are not and there's no way I can find to be ready to run the car at Jap Show Finale. Where's my Fairy God Mother when I needed her. It's a disappointment. Yet having just driven to collect the final bits and pieces has reminded me that with a supercharged Supra, every day's a good day. :) :) :) :) The car will be at the Show on Sunday, but as an object to be gawked at only.
