Did'nt notice that ommision........... Scorps --- I owe you several beers for the good looking bit.............been to spec savers recently ? !!

Thanks for the warm welcome Mr B. I can offer a 5% discount on all products for all paid up members of WIM. I have several contacts in japan so can source most parts if not listed on my website. I also have a buyer in Japan who can source rare stuff from japanese yahoo/ebay auctions. Unfortunately I'm not able to offer discounts on HKS parts. As mentioned elsewhere I'm competing in Time Attack this year as well as the Toyota Sprint Series. If you are able to get to any of the events please pop over and introduce yourself

that would make ones eyes water

The same guy thats been seen wearing a dress....i know i know indeed

will be having anti roll bars - front & rear chassis braces and 5 link rear suspension kit fitted on 5th April Going to some dodgy electrician guy with a passion for pink Looking for somewhere to fit the fire extinguisher at the moment

would be good to see you Brands is convenient !

Pete dates below. Will not be at Oulton Park as I'm going to the LOC Euro Meet. April 6th Time Attack round 1 - Donington May 4th Toyota/Lexus Sprint Series - Barkston Heath 17th/18th Time Attack round 2 - Knockhill June 1st Time Attack round 3 - Silverstone 14th Toyota/Lexus Sprint Series - Teeside July 5th Time Attack round 4 - Oulton Park euro meet ?????????? August 10th Time Attack round 5 - Brands Hatch 17th Toyota/Lexus Sprint Series - Woodbridge September October 12th Time Attack round 6 - Snetterton 25th Toyota/LexusSprint Series - Teeside @ Jon I'm not in it to pootle but to see what I the car can do. If I do well then good if I don't well so be it. Thing is I'm having a go and will give it my best shot. If you have the attitude that you will not do anything unless you win/are the best then I'd suggest you have a problem. My attitude is if you try your best then you can do no more.............at the end of the day only you know that (tried your best) in whatever you do work/sport/married life

best thing would be a driver

Nope.............budget now they are sending a set gratis (was not sure if Kami would allow me to use it competitivly) flew thru emissions etc SVA peeps said Toyota are cleanest of the Jap cars.

they are on the mantel piece they are making some with no cats BUT throws a CEL light will stick with these. set of these with full system increase BHP on a IS250 to 238 from 205 so am hoping for another 30 bhp from these..................BUT worried that I may loose torque. will wait awhile before fitting them methinks

I have the American manuals Can't get SAT NAV to work but thats not so important.............. some pics The car in tokyo JUN-TW anti roll bars manifolds At home

Thought I'd bore you with a tale of preparing my Lexus IS350 for this years TIME ATTACK and Toyota Sprint Series. Car is only one,at time of writing in Europe, and is fitted with a TOM's body kit,alloys and Supercharger conversion. My aim is to offer them as bespoke conversions by TOM's in Japan a la AMG,Hartge etc. Customers buy the car from me and TOM's then carry out the conversion. Car is being sponsored by TOM's JUN-TW Prolex-UK Charlesworth Motors and last but not least Wheels inmotion Power is 352 bhp (was 306) torque is 390 lb foot. Car has 6 speed automatic sequential gearbox. Will be fully road trimmed as I feel thats in the spirit of the Club Challenge. Work done Toyo R888's fitted to OEM 17" alloys Work to be done for Donnington on 6/4 is fit JUN-TW anti roll bars TOM's front & rear chassis braces. For Knockhill in May Fit JUN-TW BBK For silverstone in June FIT TOM's advox coilovers Tony will be setting the geometry for me and using any changes he makes available to his customers. Don't expect any podiums as most cars are 400 + bhp and stripped out but will give it my best shot. Pics to follow

Will be worth the wait when its all sorted Tony !

Thats what I said............whats wrong with that ? Perhaps that is what you should have said then because what you did actually say was factually incorrect. Another interesting statement which I'd like to question you on if I may please? Considering that it has already been established that it is the torque rather than the power that clutch handling capacities are rated at, you are now stating that the transmission will be on the edge of it's power tolerance. Please explain that in detail for me in a way that I will be easily able to understand. Thanks in advance. I meant to add torque to that statement but forgot for which I humbly apologise. I take it that Dave is not having the IS200 gearbox fitted then ? Sensible choice and one I'm sure one that a leading tuning company such as yours would have guided the customer towards.

That doesn't appear to be correct, unless I have misunderstood something. Please explain in detail why you think a base line torque figure is needed for the engine in it's current form. Dave has clearly asked which clutch fulfills specific requirements for his next upgrade, so your sugestion appears to have no value. Thanks in advance. If Dave can be told by TDi what torque the engine is putting out at its current level of tuning he can at least make enquiries with a base level. He can go to exedy/Helix/AN Other and say my car produces X lb foot of torque I'm looking for an extra X lb foot of torque can you assist. I have to say that I have dealing with high performance clutch manufacturers for approximately 25 years. I have never known any manufacturer to be interested in the torque of the standard engine. It would be like getting a quote for new carpets for house you don't live in anymore The only consideration is the torque of the intended application. The engine is far from standard....... I believe producing a claimed 300 bhp (what dave says in his LOC signature) thats nearly double the standard cars engine. To have made that claim its not unreasonable to have thought that some form of dyno run would have been made which would have also given a torque figure. I did not ask for it (dyno chart) to be made available to me/ AN Other... The point I was trying, in all innocence, to make to dave was in making enquiries about what clutch he needed it was the torque figure that governed the best clutch not the final bhp figure. @ Dave --- I'd steer clear of the IS200 gearbox as at that level of power I'm told by my contacts @ TRD/TOM's in japan its on the edge. Supra 6 speed would the just the job....getting a suitable bellhousing may be difficult although knowing Toyota's interchangability it may just bolt on to the IS2's bellhousing

That doesn't appear to be correct, unless I have misunderstood something. Please explain in detail why you think a base line torque figure is needed for the engine in it's current form. Dave has clearly asked which clutch fulfills specific requirements for his next upgrade, so your sugestion appears to have no value. Thanks in advance. Did i say/ask for this figure to be published ? I was giving advice with no ulterior motive. If Dave can be told by TDi what torque the engine is putting out at its current level of tuning he can at least make enquiries with a base level. He can go to exedy/Helix/AN Other and say my car produces X lb foot of torque I'm looking for an extra X lb foot of torque can you assist. Personally I'd have thought he would already have this data to hand or at least a rough idea. At the very least I mentioned torque not BHP as being the main thing you need to look at when getting a clutch.

Its the torque that will "kill" the clutch. Exedy give torque ratings for their clutches. They make the clutches that HKS/TRD etc use. You need to establish the likely figure for that first IMHO you should have a figure for the car in its current stage of tune to use as a base line

Very intelligent posts by very intelligent children who may well grow up some day.

Adies car is on TTE coilovers...........set to TTE recommended height....which I have forgot
