  1. Seems a shame to sell after the money you've just spent on wheels etc etc....someone will get a great car. Looks lovely
  2. Hi bud, It's worth noting that SaqTRD's car is a BPU auto so he has the benefit of the 1st turbo to help get off the line, where as you're single turbo you won't have that boost punch of the first turbo to help aid acceleration. Don't get me wrong the hi stall helps acceleration a lot on the single turbo as I said, but it can be a pain to use on the street if you are not used to it. A 50bhp shot of NOS may help with acceleration but it's a lot of hassle to fit if you won't be using it often. Maybe see if you can pick up a second hand hi stall or try a passenger ride so you get the gist of it. In regards to MT street radials, you ideally want a 15/16" rim that can be used with the stock j-spec rear calipers. The stock 16" supra rims work well as I mentioned to you .
  3. Where are you from in Essex? We have a monthly Bluewater Supra meet on the first friday of every month starts around 19:30pm. The next one is next friday if you'd like to pop along.
  4. Not 100% sure to be honest, I don't see why an open face helmet would be an issue. But probably worth reading the terms and conditions of RWYB days on Santa Pod's website or get in contact with them.
  5. Yeah BPU cars can hit 110+mph, dads old BPU spec was doing 110/111mph at Suprapod a few years ago.
  6. Great chassis the Integra...I would love a stripped out Integra Type-R track car with the B18 or K20
  7. Yes mate, no problems! Will be good to see you, it's been a while
  8. Ready for our race? I'm planing to strip my back seats etc...every little helps. I'm aiming for sub 15 seconds in my GT86.
  9. It's worth noting to anyone who is drag racing that if you're vehicle goes over 110mph you'll need a helmet, otherwise they won't let you race. So if you think your vehicle was achieve 110+mph be sure to take a helmet otherwise your racing day could be cut short. Also Burna, is it ok to strip cars out before racing? Such as taking rear seats out etc?
  10. Speaking from experience don't go with a Boostlogic, they aren't what they are cracked up to be. Lee at SRD had his gearbox specialist strip down our Boostlogic box when it lost gears on a hub dyno and all that's really "modified" internally is the up the line pressure so it changes gear quicker. We now have a SRD stage 3 built auto with Syvecs flappy paddles and it's great! Would highly recommend. Failing that MK4Gaz has a Titan built auto for sale that would be a good addition over the stock auto.
  11. Would probably be doing everyone a favour and deleting this thread, it's clearly going to be a bag of junk!

    So much hate

    We get people come over to look at dads supra at shows, they can see it has a nice big shiny single turbo and love it, but then they look in the interior and reliase its an auto and walk away! Happens at every show!
  13. It's on BC coilovers, not sure exactly how low but it's a fingers width between the wheel arch and tyre, so fairly low
  14. Thanks, yes they are a perfect fit for how we wanted. Took me roughly 2 months to work out the correct offsets etc. We wanted a wide wheel which we could fit some decent size rubber on for traction etc as the car is almost 800bhp on ethanol. But also wanted it to fill the arch nicely at the same time, I think overall it's worked out great.
  15. We have Work Meister S1's in 18" Gunmetal Sizes are Front: 18x9.5J ET37 Rear: 18x11.5J ET49 Tyre sizes 265/35/18 315/30/18 We have rolled rear arches and that's it, wheels sit flush with the arches.
  16. Depends on budget, but UK spec brakes with Porterfield pads work very well on the street I can confirm. Also K-sport offer a decent big brake kit for good value and I've heard good reviews about them.
  17. Nice Greg! Now stop being a fanny and go and enjoy it! Dragonball 2018??
  18. Awesome car that one! Built 1JZ, R154 gearbox roughly 700bhp!
  19. What's this the worlds longest mapping session?
  20. Did you? Aghhh well scrap that! You smashed it.......again
