Early or late Nov is cool with me, I just remember late Nov being mentioned . I'm happy to go with whichever is easiest/best for everyone.

Calling on the East guys i met at Zaks a few weeks ago!!
J-Meiser replied to thedice917's topic in England - East
I have a coil unit sitting spare after my conversion, but I'll have a look to see if I have a ICM. If Keith doesn't have them, let me know and we'll get something sorted out -
Following on from our great meet last month and what we all "agreed" on, I figured I'd put this out there to and see what we can do with it Date: Saturday 28th November Place: Old Ferry Boat, St. Ives, PE27 4TG Time: 13:30 All sorted, all that we need now are folks to turn up on the day !

As "promised", here are a few of our pics from Saturday. I know that they're a few days late but better late than never ; enjoy !
-
It was a great meet, with cool company and the food was pretty good too ! I'll try to get some pics up as soon as I can but thanks again to everyone who came along and I'm looking forwards to the next one
-
No probs
-
Likewise ! Thanks for confirming, we'll be there . Keith, do you know if Nellie is coming? I don't want to go asking if you've already done so.
-
Works for me too
-
24th is with me too . So, we have a date and a place, all we need now is a time
-
Saturdays would work better for me and I can do any of them apart from the 31st

I definitely cannot do Halloween and I would like to do a RWYB Saturday Night Special at Santa Pod on either 26th Sept or 24th Oct, but other than that, I'm free

Really enjoyed today's meet and it was nice to finally put some names to faces . Looking forwards to the next one !

Traffic cops bb1 silver supra crash. edit not a supra
J-Meiser replied to sidewaysdan's topic in Off Topic
It is an FTO, at first I thought that it was a Supra too, but the rear lights are FTO lights. -
2 V8 Supras - how will the folks of Bury St. Edmunds cope !
-
Fingers crossed things fall into place, but I guess we'll see...
-
Thank you very much! From initial planning to this stage has taken me 3 years, but that was mostly down to the arrival of my daughter - I don't mean this nastily or anything like that, but I would have been finished MUCH earlier had it just been my wife and I, however, I wouldn't change a thing and I'm glad and proud of the little character that she is . I'm already drawing up ideas/plans for "phase 2", but I'm in no rush to do them. As for another video, I'll see what I can do .
-
Indeed and that sounds like a plan to me . I do still have your number, so we could always sort something out nearer the time, although at this rate, there's only going to be 3 of us !
-
Indeed . The dodgy dash was the last of gremlins , I don't really have any others (thankfully), just some small tidy-up and/or improvement jobs that I want to complete, like adding a connector to the alternator wiring and I do need to sort out the air con pipes, as the Supra ones will definitely not fit the Soarer's air con pump . I'm in no rush to get the air con sorted though, as the aerotop does negate the need for . I'll continue to post any updates/improvements and pictures as I do them

I haven't forgotten about my thread, I've just been quite busy of late and anything that I have done has just been small, tinkering bits. David, I did check my TPS and all of the readings were within the specified values by a considerable margin ; however, I have misplaced my piece of paper that I wrote the results down on , so I'll try and take them again when I next get a moment. I found out what the cause of the "lack of electrical power" issue was - what I identified as the connector for the active spoiler was actually the dashboard grounds - even though it had an identical connector and an identical number of wires/pins . Once I put everything back to how I found it, everything on the dash started working as it should .

Saturday 29th in Bury St. Edmunds is fine with me .
-
Will do. Chances are it will be the weekend before I get chance to go out and have a look but I'll keep you posted
-
Thanks guys, I do appreciate it ! No worries about putting together a detailed thread, the main purpose was to show what's really involved with this swap so others have an idea about what to do/expect . I am hoping to get the niggles ironed out as soon as realistically possible and once I do, I'll share what the solution is/was . I went out for a very quick test drive again this evening (no video, I'm afraid) and this time I gave a little bit of throttle to get to 40 MPH (that's the limit on the main road near my house) - it sounded awesome and pulled REALLY well ! I was also able to test my cruise control and that worked flawlessly too . Hi David, Your description made perfect sense, once I got out onto the engine this evening and had I good look . Following what you said, I've taken a picture to show the closest I could get to what you described: The outer adjustment nut is right at the end of the thread, so I've left it there as I cannot go any further. As I stated above, I went out for a second test drive this evening, but I went out after adjusting the cable; I went out onto the main road and it felt a LOT better than in my first test drive! I was paying more attention to my driving instead of what was/wasn't working this time round, though so perhaps the "dithering" was down moreso to me being distracted ? Either way, this evening I parked up feeling much happier with the way it drove, so thank you very much for your advice!

I think that it would be good to have a rep as it may give is some form of organisation and a central point of contact. I also believe that a meet is WAYYY overdue ! I am not nominating myself for the role, but I am more than happy to support anyone who wants to do it . We do need a meet before the nice weather runs away from us completely!
