Steve W2

Having you tried idling the engine for a minute or two?

Your missing key details

Steve, its a 6 speed manual TT. Congratulations on your new aquisition Mr Monsta

Don't start big fella!!!!

PMSL! I went to the effort of replacing the front door speakers in my last Supra, made custom brackets to hold em all in, fitted everything back together but forgot to connect the power cables T W A T !!!

Most J specs dyno between 300-315BHP as standard. Yours should be somewhere around there.

I only went on Monday, got there at some silly hour in the morning and missed the final. The B&Q was still in it when I left at about 4:00pm though. There are absolutely incredable, 0-100 in 0.8 of a second and 250mph in 200m (1/8th of a mile) !!!!! WTF!! And over 300mph terminal speed

I'd rather lick them off When's the next meet then, might show my face for that one? See this gimp suit, errrrr, bug protector, in more detail!

PMSL, how I laughed when I read this For what it worth I agree with you mate. Unless any of you actually know the road in question, isn't it all speculation? Just thought I poke the fire some:tempted:

A turnout of 7 then! Was going to come but went to Santa Pod for the Easter Thunderball instead. Was tempted to take the Supe down the strip to show some of them 8000 BHP Pro Fuel novices how it's done DB - You been doing donuts again? EDIT: WTF is that crappy black paint protector thing, and who's car is it? Are you American? Shame on you!

I need those wheels

As long as the load on the engine, particularly in turbocharged cars, is kept down when cold you should have any problems. The modern engine is designed with the fact that peopel get into them and drive off when cold. As already mentioned the differential expansion and viscosity of the oil are important to the safe operation of your engine. Anyone remember the Castrol (i think) advert where is said 90% of engine wear occurs in the first 10 minutes of driving? The oil's optimum performance isn't reached until a certain temperature/viscosity, generally based around the temps. of a warmed up engine. The issue with the turbo's isn't the ceramic or steel blades, it's the massive heat generated by the turbo's spinning at 200,00 RPM and getting red hot. At these temperatures the oil can crystalise in the bearings, this is where the problems are caused. The longer they are left to get to a reasonable temperature the more efficient the oil will operate.

What will they come up with next!!!

Exactly why I'm looking at going to live in Australia. I think you statement was a bit too broad a generalisation though. I am used to it, I have had 26 years of being 'used to it', still doesn't mean I have to like it. And seeing as we aren't taxed on free speech yet, I'm entitled to give my opinion. If you don't like it don't read this thread

It was 28 something when I first started paying it though. Its still 40p for every pound you earn, albeit every pound over 32.4K.

My choice is to earn more than 28K a year, unfortunately that means I pay 40% tax. Doesn't mean I should like it though you bunch of fucking money grabbing BASTARDS!!!!!!!!

Thats a wicked web page Gav, I really like that. Did you do it?

Lust, with your exemplary driving skills and your 14.5 quarter you may beat them. I thiunk the main point to note is that a fair few NA's thta have tried against a CTR haven't beaten them. That said you can only do a quarter mile run if your keys aren't locked in your car As for the insurance, a J spec TT is often cheaper to insure than an NA. Mine most certainly was. Don't ask me why though.

Ah yes but you'll never get past our vigilant security team Alloys.......yes I do, almost new, with almost new Yokohama tyres

That's a side effect of being ugly

Lust, I think they get into the 15's dude, maybe lower They are better suited to 1/4 mile than the Supra I think.

Just pay her in kind :kneel:

Congratulations :eek2:

Yeah? Got any photo's of her.......errrrrr.......work?

Can I run an NA on normal unleaded - Yes Can I run a JDM TT on normal unleaded - No. The higher the octane the better really, a good SUL is fine. Can I run a UK TT on normal unleaded - Probably, they are mapped to run lower octane fuel. Although for the difference in price I would use SUL.
