  1. Im sure even CF ones would be cheaper!!!
  2. Must say your car was certainly an inspiration buddy
  3. Been thinking of respraying the car black with either a Do-Luck/Ridox nose and oem skirts together with Axis Hiros (19") in gloss black for the stealth look....much like rxv8's car on here....thoughts yay or nay? Cant decide? Pics on rxv8's car, hope you dont mind mate: http://img83.imageshack.us/img83/821/p53003242fd5.jpg http://img83.imageshack.us/img83/821/p53003242fd5.afab13b9a3.jpg http://img522.imageshack.us/img522/4174/p6010329fu8.jpg http://img522.imageshack.us/img522/4174/p6010329fu8.d79b31798a.jpg
  4. Easy enough job, only fiddly bit was the the little round washers which are threaded below the nuts on the end of the cam covers, a PITA to get off as mine were stuck solid. You may also need coil pack clips if yours havent been changed as mine broke off removing them, and also the 2 breather pipes between the cam covers go hard and brittle
  5. It could well be a flat battery, it will light up the dash but not anything else which takes a bit more power, id avoid using a jump start if you can....use a slow trickle charger. Also the low battery could cause the alarm to go into tamper mode i.e. thinking someone has disconnected the battery and immobilised the car...so first things first get the battery charged...ill pop over and have a look when/if i collect the Bomex
  6. what would i need to do to vent to atmosphere Chris?
  7. Are these the same width all round? The supra should have staggered fitment i.e. wider rears
  8. Ah!! What are you replacing it with? i dont mind coming round and taking it off for you
  9. Ok thanks, could let let me know asap. can collect tonight?!
  10. Hey, ive pm'd you a few times now ill take it can collect anytime?!!
  11. Supragirlie, please check your PM
  12. wow...looks awesome, great job!!
  13. Not all j-specs overboost or increase boost when decatted. I had this with my first supra when decatted and everyone jumped on the bandwagon thinking that there was something wrong but i very much doubt it. Try a EBC and see how you get on or as carl0s said, use a bigger rest. ring.
  14. Wheres Cw when you need him So would anyone suggest leaving the crap in situ and keep flushing with just fresh oil. One of the mechs at work said put some cheapish oil in, run for 50 miles, flush, repeat agian with cheap oil, flush and then stick in decent oil ??
  15. The only problem with flushing that i can see is that the built up crud being removed and shifted around the engine and blocking up the oil galleys/filters and eventually the oil pump which has 0.003" tolerance
  16. Went to change my leaking cam cover gaskets and when i took them off to my horror there was absolutely tons n tons of dried up oil crud all over the camshaft caps and the well of the cylinder head, absolutely shit loads of it!! The previous owner(s) hadnt obviously done any regular oil changes which really f*cks me off as to why people buy Supras and cant afford to run them properly neglecting the basics...yet i was left removing 300 miles worth of stupid ICE wiring etc when i bought the car money well spent ey? Anyway question: i removed most of the crud from the inlet camshaft side without tyring to let bits drop off into the depths of the engine. Is there anything i can use to remove/flush the crud or should i left it in situ and continue frequent oil changes? Im going to do the exhaust side gasket tomorrow so any advice would be appreciated
  17. PM'd about the bumper again dude, no reply??
  18. kosmic
