Hi and welcome, this is Sound advice from Dunk. -
The NA-T is worth it if you can source the parts for a good price and you do the work yourself, if not then it will cost you a large amount in labour charges and fabrication work if the NA-T kit was put together by yourself. Lowering the compression with a thicker head gasket isn't the way to do it, best to put in tt pistons or other aftermarket low compression pistons. One of the major advantages of the GE engine is that it's cheap as chips, so if you did blow an engine up it won't cost a lot to replace.

I've noticed that mytyres.com do some of the wider tyres cheaper. I bought vredesteins for the front in 255 35 18 for £40 cheaper than camskill. Btw are there any problems associated with going for a bigger side wall? Basically I currently have 275 35 18 on the rear wheels and I'd like to put on 275 40 18's to get that starsky and hutch look
-
I'm getting them for £150 each Mytyres.com do them for £165.
-
Thanks for the info Dunk, I'll ask the question before I purchase them
-
Not sure Dunk, they are new but not sure how long they have been in stock. Will being in stock for a long time affect the Tyre?
-
Thanks for replying with your opinions guys, I can see from you experiences that the Toyo's are a good Tyre. It's a shame that they are being discontinued.
-
That will last me a year and a half lol. - - - Updated - - - That gives me a lot of confidence, thank J
-
Thanks for the feedback guys, I really appreciate it I've got these on my EP2 civic and I've been impressed with them. My Supra is a stock TT btw so I won't have the experiences you big power single gents will be having
-
A mate of mine who has a tyre place has offered me a couple of Toyo T1-R's in 275 40 18's for a good price. Before I take the offer I thought I'd ask you guys for opinions and more importantly experience with these tyres on a Supra. The most important question for me is how well they perform in the wet? Thanks.

That's my dream car, a white uk spec auto yummie

This is what has probably killed the autobox. I would just buy a used autobox off Keron, and add an extra ATF cooler with new fluids and a new filter. These are many single auto's running with an extra cooler without any issues. I'm not sure how much torque the box can handle.
-
Does the auto box have an extra ATF cooler?
-
I want one now, ive fallen out of love with my blitz nur spec. The other exhaust I really like is the Greddy evolution.
-
White supra's FTW! That looks tasty Bud.
-
The highest I've ever got on my TT driving locally is 22mpg.
-
Dunk did rebuilt and powder coated these for me 2 years ago and they are still in excellent condition! I use my car every day and the pc is proving to be durable so far, thanks Dunk
-
Anodise them in purple
-
Christ Wilson did a full atf flush and filter change on my autobox and it has been so much smoother since, money well spent
-
I might just give A-line a call as my car needs it geo done, thanks for that. I look forward to your feedback on the HSD's
-
Great example of a Supra, i am falling in love with red supra's. where are you getting the fast road geo done mate? also what are the hsds like?
-
Are any members using these gauges and are they any good?
-
This can easily turn into a money pit. Once the money has been put into it then it will be worth £14k.
