I have a feeling we've gone waaaaaaaaaay off topic here.

hehehe! You and me both... and to clear up any confusion....that's "put them off their tea" NOT me and darkrider dancing around naked in some thicket together.

LMAO

Oh well, it'll still look cool wheel spinning its way to a standstill in some field somewhere

First off, just like to say I still find these funny but......... The first rendition of this was originally out of the RAF in the late 60's/early 70's and refers to military aircraft, hence the mention of "Target Radar" and "IFF" (instrumentated friend or foe), also unfortunately Quantas does not have a perfect record anymore, a few years ago they had a 747 run off the end of the runway at Sydney after brake failure which severely damaged the aircraft, but luckily no injuries to crew or passengers. (Nose undercarriage collapsed and bent the fuselage like a banana) Sorry to be the anal spotter kill-joy type.

You may have to reconsider going to Shearwater as they've recently replaced the speed bumps with new/higher ones . There's a pub just down the road in Longbridge Deveril called "The George" with a huge carpark tho.

Many Happy Returns fella

Depends on whether you like Sci-Fi or not (although this book is more Sci-Fi fantasy), I enjoyed it for its complete no-brainer escapism..... and Heinlein had a tendancy to be a bit of a pervert.

iS_nEaR : R33 Skyline Attilauk : Supra TT Lazarus & KatieC : Supra Doesn't get anymore local to me than that! Shearwater is practically my back garden

Dodge Rumble Bee? Can't remember if there 4WD or not tho.

"Number of the beast" A bit of a cheesy "Space Opera" book by Robert A Heinlein, have you read it?

133, not bad for someone who failed every school exam.

K* AGK, j-spec, OEM skirts, 18" wheels, this morning, anyone here?

Hence why I wrote this back on page one of this thread.....

Yep, defo "Phil the Fixer's" car.

KatieC is a part timer too. (just not as much as she'd like to be. )

£120K!!!! for a railway carriage!!!! bugger me!!!! (not literally)

Look at Envy's website, or give them a call, they do Toyota OEM Products. I think from memory the're about £100 the pair tho.

Sorry, can't vote, didn't see any "Antique railway carriage on a disused siding" option.

Where's the rubbery bit off the bottom of the front bumper gone?

Yeah, but its a Honda!!

Sorry, should of explained myself better, I meant when off boost. When discussing the pro's and con's between the TT and the NA at meets or on here it always comes up that the NA is quicker off the mark than the TT due to the TT having to sacrifice compression, and therefore torque, for its turbo's (obviously it soon blasts past when it gets on boost). This is also a sacrifice that anybody considering going na-t for big power will have to make, but due to the nature of the na's intake system what your theory suggests is it would seem possible to gain some of this low down torque back (I'm guessing that you probably won't get it all back), So the best of both worlds, Quicker off the mark than a standard TT plus the benefit of a turbo (and we haven't discussed the difference in the gearing between the two cars yet). Why can't this theory work on the TT (or big single), is it purely down to the components in the TT intake system? Yeah, I'm guessing there would need to be alot of flowbench work done. EDIT: Or "trial and error"

Interesting, how homogenous is this theory with going na-t, my thoughts run like this :- When going na-t for big power you must do something to lower the compression, which in turn lowers the low down torque, If you could employ your theory for the long link pipe you should be able to regain some of the torque back, bearing in mind (I think) that you haven't increased the compression with this mod only altered the flow. Does this thinking make any sense or am I talking rubbish?

Digsy, with-out getting too techy, can you explain what sort of result you would expect to see with that sort of mod and how its achieved, still learning here

I had the same thing fella, turned out to be the rear disc's, took them off and laid them on a surface table, they were warped (this was my second set of rears too), got pissed off with the j-specs at this point (been through 4 sets of discs in 18 months, 2 front, 2 rear) and upgraded to UK's. Exactly the same symptoms as you have now, only felt under normal braking. Light braking felt nothing (Because of bias?), heavy braking felt nothing (feck no's why )
