  1. I need to card a few, there's two that park in the Littledown carpark daily (white facelift & silver JDM). Also there's the guy with the white UK spec with gold badging by Tuckton bridge, and I also saw the Silver JDM with TRD/Dragon graphics on Barrack Road again last night.
  2. Shouldn't this be in the tech section really?
  3. I don't think Chris has to be bothered by TRIM support for his uses Even depending upon churn of data to the SSD, a manual TRIM on occasion is easy enough if really needed. Agreed tho that for many older computers now, an SSD gives more performance bang for buck than more ram/CPU/GPU upgrades now, it's awesome what SSD has done for the longevity of some equipment now. A little bit of a misnomer, it all depends on the IO profile of the workload, I agree for random read/write generally SSD is faster than anything else consumer made. Massive sequential read/write the differences between 7.2k/10k drives and SSD is not worth it from a £:Gb perspective. Also depends upon the blocksize of the read/write too. Also too some SSD can be bottlenecked by the drive interface - hence PCIe flash cards (also watch what fusion IO are trying to do). A possiblity, but he's then using an SSD to install W7 on, then an install of XP in a VM inside of that, even with a TinyXP install, it's still a waste of space *if* W7 isn't going to be used for anything and I imagine that this laptop will be sat in Chris' garage, not connected to the net so security latest & greatest probably aren't a concern, or things like closed memory spaces etc like W7 has for security. I think the motorsport apps Chris uses are quite bespoke and unfortunately apps within that category take ages to transition to more modern OS support, for instance look at some of the ECUs which still use a parallel/serial cable to program with! Even most switch kit has expired that and moved to USB.
  4. Should in theory be find Chris, many programs create references to their files upon installation, so you'll need to install the hdd then install the programs onto it. It's very rare that you get programs which dictate being on the c: I did check for you amongst my pile of disks but I have nothing larger than a 320gb. 500gb sata aren't that costly tbh brand new and then you'll have a retailers warranty.
  5. Rip Saab (they filed for bankruptcy today)
  6. Yep, good nick ones have been slowly rising in price. The widebody / LHD versions you speak of were extremely rare versions, Turbo 1 and Turbo2 - used for Group B Rally! Raiders and the rare soft top R5GTTs are costly too. Nice little cars, my friend had one with a GT28 on it and gave it death, was always reliable, fast and mad.
  7. Got a Ram Raid induction filter sat up in the loft if you want it Brand new boxed never used. Had a full GT Racing rollcage too until a few months back. May have some other R5GTT bits lying about, will have a look.
  8. I have this one chap http://whifbitzperformancetuning.co.uk/toyota-supra-supra-electronics-boost-controllers-boost-controllers-greddy-p-184.html I also have the EMB to go with it, and all required looms. As you seem a nice chap, find market/going rate for a 2nd hand one, PM me the link, I'll post it to you and you pay me when you get it working to your satisfaction If you don't, just send it back to me. The manual is available online (http://www.greddy.com/tech-support/profec-boost-control/) I don't have the paper copy anymore I've tried finding when someone sold one last on the club, but all I can find is Spec-B controllers. It also has a brand new boost solenoid which I bought from MVP for £130 as i was trying to isolate a previous boost leak! So it also comes with a spare solenoid. Pics I can do of it all when I get my car back midweek. Si
  9. 1.6 bar. Switched from all the UK MAF to MAP, breather for EGR and Paul's new FMIC. The exhaust housing is undivided, I'm going to when I can afford to, get a divided housing on this and change nothing else, then take it back to SRR and see what that does for the setup as I'm currently not using the manifold to it's true potential. Reminds me, I even have to ask Paul what wastegate spring pressure is, as I have no idea currently I haven't even driven the car yet.
  10. Yeah mine was the red one that should (i hope!) still be there. He was maping it Thursday/Friday. Let me know if you need a boost controller
  11. Nice work shame my car is sat up there waiting for collection and alias a profec e-01 controller in it that I'm selling. Still you must be happy
  12. I was happy with those too until one day I started vomiting and passing blood (lost 4 units of blood in 24 hours) Then again I was drinking probably 2-3 cans of red bull a day for about 12 years.
  13. I am 30 e.g. I've laid the bottle down for when she's 18. She's only 1 at the moment
  14. Syvecs S6GP Auto GT35 .70AR Ryan.G 580bhp/560ftlbs Notes - Whifbitz Twin WG Manifold
  15. GT35R seems to do fine on that kit But that's .70AR too. Ryan seemed reasonably chuffed with it.
  16. Cristal's about £140 a bottle. Laid a bottle down for my daughter for when she's 18.
  17. I admire your optimism Next time you hop off the island let me know I'll show you mine, fitted by Paul, looks great
  18. He also said yesterday to me that a killer combo would be an r35 with a 2JZ in it
  19. The title says it all :)Preferably as good condition as possible.
  20. Carolina Liar on the first video, really good track. As others said, expertly produced, really good.
  21. Morning! http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?64608-Overdrive-Light-Flashing&highlight=overdrive+light+flashing May help (remember about the search functon ) Also thread may be better in the Tech section Si
