Should be fine, On the DVLA site as soon as you remove the private plate you'll get a code which you can put straight on to the new Supra. There are instances where if the vehicle hasn't been taxed, or had a period of being untaxed in the last few years it won't like then you'll have to send it by post.

Racewars was on Saturday just gone (Aug 7th) so trundled to the airfield with Dave - @Dave_Batch to see what our cars would do in the mile! My best on the day was: 12.25s 1/4 mile at 124mph (medium boost) 18.8s 1/2 mile at 155mph (medium boost) and 178mph top speed (different runs) Gutted I didn't hit my 180mph target but I had a rubbish launch on that one, was 5mph down at the 1/2 mile. I know if I launched as well as I did on the last run it would have done ~181-184mph, so that's the target for next time! Dave did extremely well considering he's just 500hp at 1 bar for now, he did a 12.5s 1/4 mile and maxed his box out at ~173mph? before the mile (his A02 diff vs. my A03 deffo helps with the 1/4 mile) All done it was a decent day, we both munched a few cars and neither car missed a beat or had any running issues! Drove them home back home and looking forward to the next one Looking at the times released I did the fastest 1/4 mile on the day for a manual car, so that's something at least! No doubt there were other cars there absolutely dominating, X3M Competition doing 11.7s 1/4 mile every time. Huracan doing 11s 1/4 miles and the M5 doing 197mph at the mile ..must be easy with launch control and an auto box! Ha

Now it was just about getting the car ready for Racewars! I did some fully throttle logs on all the boost settings, thanks again to Mike at SRD for checking them over and confirming everything was okay and no adjustments needed! Got the tracking aligned on the front (rear bolts were seized solid, only just out of spec so will get them done another time, new bolts are ready to go on when I have a free weekend) 1 week to go! Noticed a small coolant drip from the top rad hose and a weep on the exhaust rocker cover. Luckily some overnight parts from SRD and a couple hours later we were leak free! Brakes bled a few nights before, quick check over on the ramps, nothing to report. We are set for Racewars...

You may notice the new wheels! I was driving around and there was sudden flood rain.. you can see where this is going! I went through a tunnel (dry road) come out on a bend where it was wet and it just went sideways on the dual carriageway. It wanted to do a full 180 but caught it left, right, left, right, snaking and then the bend ended and SMACK! I got out the car to check the damage and front wheel was cracked/chunk missing ..good ol' Rotas! Before I could get back in the car a black undercover BMW pulled up behind me, lights on and started nosing around the car .. the cracked rim still had air surprisingly but the rear was punctured. They just said I need to get off the carriageway asap, luckily there was a left turn just a couple metres up. So moved it there and parked up, looked back and the police just drove away and left me to it Called my brother who luckily has a Nissan with a spare, he came with tools and a trolley jack.. so got it home. Made the decision to get new wheels, I needed new tyres anyway because Racewars was approaching and the previous rubbing had ruined my rears anyway! 2 days later I found a set of GS300 TTE wheels in London, so drove straight down there and picked em up for a good price! Got them refurbished in gunmetal and they smoothed the centre caps and fitted 4 new tyres. I kept the same size 245 front and 285/35 rears, while this was being done I had the rear arches rolled by Arch Enemy and no rippling at all thankfully! Got the new wheels on and no rubbing to report at all after 2 months of use! I was enjoying the car even more now and the weather was warming up nicely

So after I had the brand new AC pump on all was well ..for about 30mins of driving. Then it seized again! I couldn't believe it! Broke down outside a school, at a junction corner about a mile from home, luckily I had a jump pack with me, got it started, done a 3 point turn and died again . Jumped it again and drove back in 2nd at 3k rpm and made it to the end of my road where it died again... So I just pushed it down the road and into the drive! Now this was confusing how a brand new £300 pump failed .. all since I changed the HVAC fuse. Mike at SRD saw my Instagram story and asked me to send him my ECU log, turned out the ECU had the clutch permanently engaged, which with no gas in it would burn it out! I got donated a working spare from a buddy (Thanks Rob!) ..and swapped it out the week after, left the AC plug disconnected, new fan belt as other one had chunks taken out... And back to normal thankfully!

Just checked the reg, but my friend had L779 HAA

I'll be on the Banzai Rally stand with a bunch of Supras

Firstly you need to decide on a budget Budget for ECU, injectors, exhaust, intercooler, sensors etc. W58 won't do 50 0hp, R154 or V160/1 or BMW conversion would be needed. You can save money from not buying cams, stock cams will make that power easily, just do a compression test, get a GTE headgasket and boost it!

Wow, that's a long time and string of doctors! Hopefully the new doc gets your on the road to recovery and clear your skin up!

£10k-20k, depends on how it looks underneath, whether it's stock or butchered etc.

Bought a set of wheels today /Close

Hi everyone, Anyone selling a set of 18" wheels? Ideally 8.5/10J set up with sensible offset to clear K sports, my rear arches are rolled. Been browsing the web but haven't seen any cool wheels unless its 8 weeks, so checking here Thanks, A.C.
-
Think I still have a set of these left, will check in the morning
-
£30-35k I would have thought ..just send them copy of the receipts
-
Loving the updates, I have been hunting for a P38 or Classic RR but the right one hasn't come up yet. Prices are on the up but there's so many dogs about.. I don't mind a bit of work but not a money burner! Keep it debadged, looks stealthy
-
Yep my Walton manifold was dog crap fitment, doing it again I'd go 6Boost or SRD. Also got had SRD supply my Link ECU and other bits and Mike really knows his stuff when it comes to mapping, did a great job on my car
-
New AC compressor arrived today thanks to TCB Jacked the car up as was much easier to get in place from underneath. Top plated needed swapping over, 5 min job, then just fiddling around getting the lines on and bolted up. BOV back on, fan belt on, and she started up all gooooood! Then 5 mins later it started raining , typical! But atleast it's done and ready for the next dry day

I used a D1 Spec sandwich plate, cost me around £40

I got mine from Gary England

+1 for Chris Wilson pads I wouldn't touch EBC, so many negative reviews that outweigh the positive ones

Ah okay, how are they for noise?
