    Stud Size

    I did, the brakes were on it when he bought ir so he didn't know. If I need them it will be my present stud length + the spacer size - was just trying to get ahead of the game and get them ordered

    Stud Size

    Spacers are part of the kit, so I figured that I might need longer studs if I fitted the spacers. Will find out if I need to use the spacers when they arrive on Thursday, hopefu;;y wheels might be clear of calipers

    I am upgrading to UK Spec brakes. What size of studs will I require. Already have 18's on the car (Yes, I tried the search button)
  6. who did the single conversion Jamie, seem to have missed that bit
  7. I enjoyed Perth as well, good to see I am not the only "mature" guy that loves his Supra. Special thanks to Ian, not only for getting me there and back, but for the experience of the low speed slides .... lol New eyes scheduled for 7th March so will have my Supra next time
  8. The lateral dimension (as already stated) is of utmost importance for this to be of value, particularly for ramps as opposed to humps (ever tried getting your car on a ferry). If you want to send me the data you collect I will build a wee database?
  9. Thanks mate, appreciated
  10. There must be a thread(s) on here somewhere on this, anyone point me in that direction? Or any new opinions?
  11. Dould you let me know as well, planning a trip south end of May
  12. I ran with a m/c plate on front of Supra for 3 years. Very small. Then beginning of last year police got very excited about it, kept hauling me until I eventually changed it for the smallest legal I could get away with - imports are allowed smaller plates than UK cars, don't ask me why, makes no sence. Still been hauled for it but have print out from DVLA website in car now
  13. I am interested in a set of these
  14. All easily rectified - and if you want good fuel consumption their is always a Fiesta diesel
  15. TSW had this on their site at one time, not sure if it is still there or if you can look at the code but it did all of that including the lowering for many makes of car
  16. My HKS boost guage fits straight in
  17. 55 - going on 25 but the insurandeis cheap 356 and 200 excess - and that covers the Accord Type R and the Vectra as well as the Supra
  18. How much on top of the 130 notes for fronyt discs Chris?
  19. I am in Alness, just north of Inverness
  20. Hi There Think I have the only one up this way - Inverness area, although there was a silver one which got written off a while ago. I am down your way quite a lot - knockhill mainly Remind me never to ask you for directions anywhere ..... lol
  21. OK, tried turning the wheel a few times made no difference. Then took cap off and turned full lock both ways (as in a previous thread) and car back to normal, no noise. Thanks Guys
  22. HIYA Happy New Year to one and all Have a power steering problem. Went out the other morning and washed the supra and then started it up to warm it up (it was about -7C at time so I was not going anywhere in the Soop). Had a loud whirring noise from the power steering which increasedas you turned wheel. Switched off and thought it might be ice on belts following washing/rinsing it. Went out just now, topped up fluid, and it did not require a lot, and started car up. It is still whirring, very loudly at that. It is above freezing today. There was no buid up of noise, just appeared suddenly. The power steering is working perfectly, which is confusing me Is that the pump knackered? How big a job to change it? Should I try draining/changing the fluid first? How easy is this? Any suggestions welcome
  23. Yea, Brembo, AP would be nice but ............... And I don't need them Might upgrade to UK spec though although believe calipers are good so might just go for disks and pads - Chris Wilsons ones have a good rep
  24. Sorry, found info now
