Just seen this thread, sorry to hear you're selling Dnk but I know you've been thinking about it for a while. Enjoy whatever you get next!

March's Breakfast Club is this Sunday. I'm hoping to go.

From memory yep, far right.

The delimit function would normally be wired into pin 2 of the ECU (in the passenger footwell). I think you've got a photo of the ECU there but I can't see if the wire going to pin 2 has been modified. Trace that wire anyway, and report back what you find.

Mega rain due to fall all day tomorrow - I'm sacking it off.

Bump: the first breakfast club of the year is this Sunday. However, the current weather forecast is warning that there might be 10cm of snow fall during Sunday so keep your fingers crossed the forecast is wrong!

Everyone welcome - if there are a few Supra owners wanting to go I could find somewhere nearby for us to meet up and then we can arrive in a mini-convoy? I say we, I am hoping to blag a lift there with a mate in one of his cars, as my Supra isn't on the road ATM. Otherwise I'll be there in my 406... again!

To clear up any confusion, JSPec cars came with the same speedo face (the clock in the dash) as the UK cars, but it was labelled "km/h" instead of "mph". To convert the SPEEDO CLOCK (i.e. not the speed SIGNAL), the cheapest & crappiest way to do that is to put a NON-OEM mph overlay (a "110mph speedo") on top of the km/h speedo. Hence 110mph ends up being roughly where 180 kp/h was; these are roughly the same speeds. Obviously this is ok, but means if you ever delimit the car and want do do more than the factory limiter, your speedo needle will want to keep going past that point and at that point you won't have a clue what speed you're doing and you risk damaging the speedo as you clatter the needle into the other side of the 0mph stop the needle rests on when you're not moving. The better way of "converting" the speedo, is to convert the speed SIGNAL, not the speedo face. By fitting a decent speed signal converter, this little box of tricks will put the original speed signal through a kph/mph multiplication, chucking a mph signal out the other side. You connect THAT signal to the speedo face, cruise control and power steering, and if you bought an all-in-one delimiter, you also put the "clamped" signal to pin2 IIRC of the main ECU. The only thing left to do is turn your "km/h" CLOCKS to read "m/h"; how? Cover up the "k". Job done. Sorry to those who already knew all this, but there is always a lot of misunderstanding about what a conversion involves. http://mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?112141-How-To-Install-a-Speedo-Convertor-and-Delimiter

Don't panic, there wasn't one in Jan. It's a great morning out, great atmosphere with loads of chilled out car nuts pottering about checking ot each others' cars, eating some top brekky and having a walk up the hill (optional!). Here's a couple of my photos from this thread.

Rev5 was the last of the mk2s I think, maybe they did have airbags.

Are you sure it's an airbag? On my UK car the steering wheel centre is just the horn 'button'.

I attended a few of these last year (see here), it's a great excuse to go for a drive on a Sunday morning: you see some amazing cars, have a fantastic breakfast and get to potter about the historic hillclimb track too. The dates for this year are as follows: February 10th March 10th April 7th May 12th June 16th July 14th August 11th September 8th October 13th More details can be found here: http://www.shelsley-walsh.co.uk/events/content.asp?s=88 Assuming the weather is dry I'll probably be at most of these - let's use this thread for discussions and to find out who's going ahead of each meeting.

Sounds like a plan is forming for early to mid August

Yeah I think so, Easter is always really busy (which means it's also really crash-y and thus there's lots of closures). Also, we are expecting anther baby at the end of May. Mostly it's the Easter crashes though.

Dates are starting to be released now: http://www.nuerburgring.de/en/angebote/driving-experiences/tourist-rides-nordschleife/opening-times-nordschleife.html You can drive the GP track on certain dates as well: http://www.nuerburgring.de/en/angebote/driving-experiences/tourist-rides-grand-prix-track/oeffnungszeiten-grandprixstrecke.html

From what I've read, the tourist dates will be confirmed once the 'Ring's slot in the 2013 F1 calendar is confirmed. I believe they have the option to move it about by a week.

Good to see you all!

Pete (1 adult) [9. SpikedJack (2 adults but not eating)] 406 power for me, again. Maybe my Supra will be back on the road next year

Final numbers have now been confirmed with the restaurant as per the above post: 14 adults, 5 kids, 1 baby. Please note the slight change of timing to ensure they can accommodate us and two other large parties that have booked in just behind us: Arrive from 12:00 midday, sit down to order 12:20 - certainly no later than 12:30 because if that happens I've been warned we won't get fed until 3pm!! If anyone knows they are/might be dropping out please PM me immediately so I'm not messing the restaurant about. Ta!

Nice, I'm interested in prices.

Nic posted something recently, commenting on which wheels fit the Supra. I'll search... edit - my mistake, t was about the MR2: http://mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?280155-Toyota-Breakers Although he does say:

"You may not vote on this poll"

Any more for any more? I'm confirming the table booking and final numbers next weekend, any changes after that I can ask but can't promise that the steakhouse will be able to accommodate. (I'll also see if they need a deposit; I hope not purely because it's a PITA to organise!)

Good news, and quite a relief! I knew nowt about where that graph was from / the reliability of them so sorry that I called into question the car/it's previous owner but in my defence it is a shocking graph. Glad ot hear it was junk, rather than the car! Look forward to the new graph.
