Colour Tread pattern Grip In that order.

Assume you have read the BPU guide? I believe so, BPU is less than £1k to achieve - getting approx 400bhp out of it. Not seen many get past 420-440 on stock turbos, that includes fuelling work and piggybacks/cams.

FK452 grip fine at 400bhp... Don't at nearer 600 Haven't tried the T1

Oh I agree, it's why I'm ripping all of mine out now running Syvecs installation - the ECU can monitor and more importantly *react* far quicker than I can. I was just interested to know what gauges he has / sticking with if going with EMU.

Also remember there are differences between auto and manual rads - which is it?

I shuddered when I thought of Veilside-esq kits on that picture.

Being a person who's run a single on an EMB and recently switched to Syvecs after a little research and a lot of advice, I would myself advise a piggyback no matter how good will not replace the ground up design that a full standalone unit will do. With a proper standalone ECU you can have many inputs that'll help performance but also protect your engine - i.e. pressure sensor trips, temp sensor trips, better trac control, more sensitive knock/afr/egt monitoring. Can I ask what gauges you currently have / plan to have for things? Boost? EGT? AFR? Fuel/oil/water temp/pressures? If you're ploughing as you say a total of circa 20-25k of euro into your car - don't scrimp on the engine management nor vitally the inputs into it. Brains with brawn. I can say you're choosing a good manifold and FMIC, I have both

Im getting worried now Ed http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ed_Gein (read the arrest section)

Interesting, any more shots? Worthwhile a separate thread on these to not go OT for the OP? OP - as Gaz said, not only do they prevent fade on many hard stops - but we are talking about a larger pad face, larger disc, those in themselves will dissipate energy more than the j-specs - it's not just the contact patch : grip that gives the point where ABS would hit - it's energy dissipation. Also yes, we all try to accelerate at a sensible moment - but you're not counting for other people's stupidity. Suddenly on a stretch of road where you used to hit 70, you're now hitting 100-120 for instance, the energy required to brake at higher speeds is higher (not sure if it's quite logarithmic) but more power = quicker gain in kinetic energy. In a single I WOT far less than I did in an NA that's fer sure! As for rad/oil pump - I'd just be looking at their service intervals - if you're doing an overhaul for a single - wouldn't it be prudent to have best OEM components where they are OEM wherever possible? I guess that's just my philosophy.

ARP bolts. What brakes do you have? Brake lines? When were pumps changed/ Rear/front main seal? How old is your rad? Why twin walbros and not a single 044?

Who?

I didn't know you like Disneyland that much Johnny! Ouch on the export/import, but I'd be wanting to do the same tbh! Wouldn't be florida for me if I went, my line of work's either NY or west coast or Tucson/New Mexico way.

That is *nasty*, had it a couple of years ago right before New Year's, couldn't even keep water down/in. Still got to keep up with the fluids, even part salts solutions if you need it.

Where's the cake?

*bumps* for the newbies since 2009 with too much time on their hands

Then you'll just have huge black blokes trying to sell you blow. Or that's what happens down at Miami beach. That and you'll becoming an enormous bloater as there's no bloomin pavements! And over there a Supra is a rich man's car Too rich for me anyway.

People have asked me what it is at petrol stations, which is weird when you can see the Toyota and Supra badge on the back. I've had kids jump up and down on the pavement when stuck in traffic excited about it - just as I did as a kid to Lambos & Porsches A few offers from ladies to take them out for a drive And before when doing a few WOT pulls on the motorway got the thumbs up from a pack of bikers going down the same stretch A guy with a nice R8 GT when I parked up next to him said he loves Supras. Guess you get different reactions from where you are, guess you've got a bunch of negative people in NI!

As some know the industry I work in my lips are sealed!

Anyone?

Could be a bearing / turbo oil seal going. Oh wait... Tinnitus? Did it go away when you left work? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tinnitus

Friend got a set built for his Lancia Stratos kit car, looked spot on and seemed very well made.

Still believe it's one of these http://www.extreme-sportscars.com/murci/gallery.html

Still got the dash?

Bet it's an MR2 underneath
