hoff Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 I use those too Dazzi:) No idea what were on before but they made a nice differance:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazzi Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 I had TT BPU plugs on before which worked fine but are a lot colder. Come to think of it I've had a flat spot issue recently... I might pop the old ones back in and see if thats the problem... BTW I've now double decatted the supra and and have a stock TT silencer and TT nur spec s. Surprisingly its still very quiet on idle but has a nice V6 sounding roar like the 350's - love it. No way she will pass the MOT now (I kept the 2nd cat for this) - she stinks to high heaven like the singles now When you getting your manifold Hoff?

hoff Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Woohoo, MOT passed today with just the 1 cat in and no worries at all:) The manifold is in the post today I think, so now the MOT has been it should be on quite soon:eyebrows: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazzi Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Well done Hoff. When mine finally passed everyone was busting my balls with sarcastic comments Shame them lot need to be blown rather than run on their own steam like us N/A's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoff Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 I dunno I quite like to get blown:sly: May as well sell the 2nd cat now:) Look out for new pics soon too. Fitting new wheels, bumper and seats, and either some Eibach springs or some super streets:eyebrows: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazzi Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 What seats Hoff and what subframes have you got? I've heard that some companies say their frames fit a supra but they fail to tell you modification is required to fit... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoff Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Im looking at some Cobra Misanos. I may go for the universal runners but as you say they may need modding. Should just be a case of some new holes though hopefully. At about £250 for a set of Brides thats just a bit too much for me to spend on them.

Dazzi Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 I was looking at the Misanos but the feedback on the frames not fitting put me off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoff Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 They are nice and I fit nicely into them:D My girlfriends bro is a mechanic specialising in Jap motors like supes and skylines. He's put no end of 34 GTR seats in his 180's and his silvia, which all needed some modifying, so I'll hand them over to him and demand perfection:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fizzle Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 guys which are better plus? denso platinums(£50) or NGK IRIDIUM IX (£47) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazzi Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 They are similar in performance. Some say stick with Denso as denso parts were use on the supra but some say use NGK because they're the leader (in some people minds) of sparkplug manufacturing. Up to you.... both are good.

AlexM Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 Lets test them out in my Sup first hoff, if you don't like them I'll buy them off you at a fair price (for secondhand goods). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoff Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Hello stranger:D Where you been Alex mate? Did you get over to CW? How did you get on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoff Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 The manifold has come, will be fitted next week:eyebrows: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexM Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 I did, had a rather large bill from CW too! He liked the condition of my car, but a new radiator was necessary - and I had to buy fluids and a couple of parts from him.. I'll make sure I have everything next time! Paid a visit to London as well, and popped to a Japmids meet in Leicester (picked up some stock 17"s from Guigsy).. today I shocked myself with the amount I've spent on Petrol in the last 4 weeks (£270). Whitey is looking a little naked, started stripping out the interior, and taken the rear spats off (left a nice chunk of gunk to get rid of).. changing the brake pads at the moment and then I think I'll find some poor sod to help me change the clutch! I've had loads of fun with it and it's not even had a proper drive in months! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoff Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Always worth paying a bit more for Chris though:). Sound s like you've been a busy man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexM Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 I'm managing to keep myself busy, though as it keeps raining at the moment I've actually retrieved some of my interest in PCs (It's actually a little fun again). Hopefully I will not be tempted to build a car PC, I wanted to for a long time but managed to dissuade myself.. Are there any car meets/shows coming up in Shropshire? Pete mentioned a monthly one once or twice but usually at the last minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoff Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 We have the ironbridge meet the 1st sunday of every month. Me and the Jamies go when we can, though its not that often unfortunately:( Pete and Burna go a little more:) Having said that Im going to try and get something together soon. me, the 2 jamies, a new member from by me, pete, maybe burna and Linda too:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexM Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 I would like to go to one of the Ironbridge meets, I fancied going for a look around there anyway. I think the first weekend of next month is clear so hopefully I can get over! Just had an argument with a stuck piston, I lost. Going to find someone with more muscle to have a go for me! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoff Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Quite a nice place. We go to a near by pub out of town on the river which is dead nice and has good space for the cars. I think its this sunday so I will see what I cxan do:) As for jumpers, most MR2 owners when the supras turn up:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexM Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 This is the second Sunday of the month coming up hoff. I'm intending on going to Birmingham Sat / Rotorstock Sun, so definitely not up for it this month! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoff Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 Picked up the new wheels today, they look fantastic. Ive just ordered a pair of 10mm spacers for the rears just to have it look just right and some Tein Lowering springs:eyebrows: Once my new bumper is on I'll post up some pics in supra chat. Just want the seats then:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
