Darren, Yes it would. - I'm currently running around with a 300 mph speedo as I've just fitted a UK speedo to my existing wiring with the converter in place. The UK speedo shows 300 kmph which I'm reading in MPH at the moment. Whilst this may sound good, you have to be doing about 120 mph to get the needle to even reach half way round the dial!

Plastic rubbing... That'll be the one

Oh, It didn't say single so I thought...... Wrongly

On Taka Kaira's website, they're listing a 'Stainless steel Turbo Exhaust manifold' for the JZA80. It's not the one for a single turbo. Could this be modified, less restricted version for the sequential setup? http://www.takakaira.com/asp/table.asp?id=317&cat=2 (I think that's the right link)

I'm assuming your other half wants you to change the Supra? What you going to get next?

Ahh, that jogged my memory... I did get the tyres reversed after about 6,000 miles to get more milage from them. Hmmm, more memory jogging, I'd better check my F1's as they've covered 6,000 miles now

When I had the kumho's on the car, I had no issues with them at all, and they lasted just short of 12,000 miles. However, when I replaced the rears to the F1's, in the wet, the cars balance felt all wrong. It felt like the back was gripping and pushing the front wild. I changed the front's to F1's and the car was back to normal. Bit less road noise with the F1's but the Kumho's have the higher speed rating!

Paul, dare I suggest Max Power? - Tell 'em you've got neons... Steve, that's bad news. So bad, you've grown some double chins!

I've got 8x18's on the front with 245/40/18 F1's. When they were new, they used to just catch the inner arch on full lock. Strangely enough, the Kumho's I had before were the same size but they never caught.

I actually live about 15/20 minutes from the Dartford tunnel - 30 mins/40 mins to to Romford? - Or I could meet you at Lakeside?

What turbo's you looking at...

Steve, I'll give you a phone call if I find myself at a loose end one evening when it's raining. You're only about 1/2 an hour away from me.

It went like one too... One that had had hald it's plugs removed!

Steve, I would say that the fact I couldn't stop wheelspinning was more down to my lack of driving skills more that RLTC cutting the power. - I just couldn't bring myself to back off the throttle! I've played around with couple of non-RLTC equipped Supra's in dodgy weather conditions and without any shadow of doubt, I had a noticable edge. When I went to Elvington, the RLTC only cut in in 1st and a second or so in 2nd - And it was pi$$ing down that day! Santa Pod was exceptional. I've never driven on anything so slippery at that speed. I did turn the TC off once... Only once 'cause it scared the crap out of me! I was counter-steering ALL the way up the strip. It really felt like I was on an ice rink! - Perhaps my F1's need replacing, they're about halfway down now. I'm more than happy to meet up with you and give you a demo - You can have a drive and see how you get on with it. As for tyres, this time of year, with greasy cold roads, you'd be lucky to get much in the way of grip at the best of times. I do believe that the more rubber on the road, the better. I'm running 275/35/18 on the rear and 245/40/18 on the front. I'd think that if you are putting bigger rears on, you want to increase the fronts by the same amount. - I've heard it can upset the balance, (Read as, I have no Idea, but that's what I've picked up from reading previous posts ) Did that make sense edited to add, with RLTC off, that was my slowest time. 15.946

Fuelp pump, injectors and somekind of fuel controller... And someone to set it all up... What you planning Darren?

Mine are.

Weight saving???

I've now got a Kicker S8-L7, (8" square sub) in an enclosure that fits between the wheelarch humps and goes from the back seats, slanting down to level off at the wheelarch humps... Does that make sense Anyway, it's powered by a genuine 500w rms and produces enough bass to make the sound like a baby's rattle!

Mine does exactly 79mph (GPS reading) at 3000rpm Even more interesting!

Have you checked your battery terminals yet?

I have GPS, I'll check mine tomorrow. (J-spec TT auto)

Any recomendations? Bast...

I had exactly the same thing about a month ago. with exactly the same symptoms as both yours and Petes - It scared to crap out of me as I thought it was going to be difficult to trace or expensive... I went to attatch a probe to the battery terminals, and one fell off when I touched it, I re-fitted it correctly and the car was happy again Hope yours is as simple as that.

I'm running 18's from a Lexus GS300 sport. The tyre sizes are 245/40/18 and 275/35/18.

I'm probably completely wrong but I thought the SZ-R and RZ-S were the models that came after the facelift.
