Offers on this? £340 delivered?

£100 anyone? I think it's a bloody steal at that price.

Beautiful pic mate, looks like we traded with you today, it's bloody freezing and was snowing earlier

Did they really? fuckkkk, i'd be mad lol

I think it's a great price for a 2000 year tiptronic with low miles and factory diff and brakes

Car sounds and looks fantastic mate Interested to see what numbers she makes!

His car is beautiful mate yeah, it's the Star67 or something like that car, i think his name is Carl but i'm terrible with names.

Thanks guys, glad you all like them! And @Harley, i only have the ones I've posted mate unfortunately, i tried to snap as many as i could but because our stand always had tons of people round it was quite difficult to get clear shots of everyone's car. The Baileys was another i couldn't get any clear shots of

Craig is excellent, really knows his stuff and welding is absolutely magical. I've used him several times for welding jobs of different sorts and he also fitted my seats when i got stumped with them. Very good.

The VVTI exhaust is the same as all the other turbo Supras as far i'm aware mate, just the downpipe that differs.

Thanks everyone! Glad you like them I've got a Nikon D750 mate with a 50mm Nikkor lens. The pictures don't look anywhere newr as good as this out the camera i edit them all using lightroom. Thanks mate, i didn't get any of your Dads car no i tried several times but there was always a crowd around it! Should leave it dirty or something next time so it doesn't pull in a crowd!

More!!!! Aaaaannndddddd save the best ill last obviously

Hey guys, came home early from Japfest Today because i felt like absolute dog shit Worst I've felt in years, luckily i managed to get some nice shots of a lot of our cars before i left so tell me what you think The club as a whole managed to win the trophy for best car club stand!! Pretty awesome really with the hundreds of stands that were on display! Top effort lads (and ladies if there were any) I've made the images a lot smaller and lower quality to help people with slower internet speed, i have super high quality and massive sizes for anyone that wants their cars pic in full resolution (the file size size will be about 15 times larger than these uploaded lol)

I love these threads mate, they must take you a while but i love going through them! Gives me ideas and something to work towards for my own car. Fantastic

You can get them for not too silly money now mate, mine was just expensive because of the extras with it. Haha, you know it's for the best anyway mate! and thank you! I love comments like this! Thanks mate Just spent the last 5 hours getting her ready for Japfest tomorrow and she's finally properly clean! No pictures but there will be plemty Tomorrow

There's quite a few of us meeting at warwick services, i'll be there for 7.15

Thanks mate. Cheers Andrew, i got the brakes from the USA mate, a very helpful chap called Jacob runs a website and facebook group and he makes the adapters for the brakes and can source all parts needed for the conversion We certainly will mate! You'll pull away at a slightly slower rate now And thanks about the pics i do like my photography! There will be a huugggeee amount taken Sunday

I don't update very often but when i do i have lot's of updates all in one SO!! A couple weeks ago i organised a forum dyno day at DynoDaze and i was pretty sure my car was going to run about 400hp at the flywheel, just going by numbers i'd heard for other BPU cars with similar mods to mine. Well, was in for a shock! My car made 321 at the wheels which was predicted to be about 360-365 at the fly so i wasn't best pleased, especially when the other 2 bpu cars both made roughly 360 at the wheels a whopping 40whp more!! After looking at the dyno/AFR sheet it was easy to see that my car was actually running lean after the second turbo kicked in I had read quite a few BPU threads in the past that say having a fuel pump for bpu is optional, and the only reason i hadn't already upgraded to a 255 walbro or something was because i knew i would be going single at some point so i didn't want to throw a 255 in only to have to change it in 12 months or so. Anyway here is the dyno print out: So as soon as i got home that day i ordered a brand new wabro 450lph/485 whatever they are called (the e85 compatible one) and also decided to go for an AFR gauge. I was considering several options for this as i didn't really want to run loads of gauges in my car, i want it to all look as OEM as possible so in the end i ripped out my old boost gauge and decided to go for the Innovate SCG-1 which is a wideband AFR/Boost gauge/boost controller all in one that comes with a hefty price tag to boot lol Unfortunately i didn't take any pics of the pump or it's installation but it went in just fine but when it was fitted my car would start and then just die after about 10 seconds! After some chatting with Jason on here (many thanks) We decided i should try the 12v mod to see if that would fix it and luckily it did! This afternoon i improved that 12v mod to include a 12v 40a relay so the pump isn't running when the engines off for safety. The new boost controller arrived a couple days later but it wasn't a straight fit into the facelift clock position unfortunately, this gauge is 52mm instead of the old gauges 60mm. So i used a piece of decent plastic to make a template and cut out a mount for it to sit in: With that made it sat perfectly in the center I then made some brackets to hold it down nice and firm using L brackets, just had to cut them down to size, it ending up holding it in really, really nicely Before i could get it all working though i had to remove my midpipe and take it down to my local God of welding Craig at dynotorque. The guy is phenomenal at welding, honestly his welds could be used to make a weldporn site Helps that he's a nice guy and cut and welded my bung in for a tenner too Fitting the Bosch wideband sensor was easy, it was fitting the bloody boost controller that was a nightmare! Didn't realise how little space there is to get pliers or tools in and around those stock twins!! not fun!! lol Anyway, finally got it all done and wired up and now she's sitting pretty in my dash: Looks wonky but it's just my wonky cameraman skills lol And i'm now glad to report that the fuelling is all sorted (although it now runs richer than i'd like but i think that's pretty standard for the stock ecu) and the car is faster than ever, the boost controller is excellent from what I've adjusted so far, super easy to use and looks great imo. A solid investment! So i'm 100% sure my car is now running more horsepower i'm just not sure how much more lol Doesn't really matter either, i'm just happy it's sorted and fueling and boosting well I also took 30 minutes to clean up my window rubbers/seals, they gone quite hard and brittle, and were clearly sun damaged as i couldn't even tell they were rubber anymore, felt like metal lol And no back to black or cleaning products could bring them up so i masked off my front and rear glass, paint too and scotchbrited the seals all the way round then used some aerospace 303 (nicked from Sheefas stash ) to get them back to a nice shiny black. Before: Should be able to see the part on the right, how grey/faded it is. During: I'd done the top part of this picture, although it's not the best pic. After: Clean and black Going to give it a good scrub tomorrow and try and bring some life back into my wheels ready for Japfest on Sunday

Bumping this up and accepting offers if you're going to Japfest as it'll save me posting.

So awesome

As long as it doesnt piss down i'm not too bothered.

It will be with mate.

I think the plan is to leave at just after 7.30 from the warwick services, me and sheefa will be ghere around 7.30, no need to stay long at the services.

The 12v mod with relay Nod is for that exact reason, the pump primes as normal when key turns to on but then goes off as normal until key is turned to start the car. The one you are talking about is the 12v mod before it got improved to have the relay.
