  1. No, I don't have an issue with the time that it's taking.....this project was never planned as an "In and Out" right from conception. Consider that this is the first project of it's kind (in the UK at least) so there are bound to be technical issues and the associated learning curve. I have 2 weeks (use it or lose it) vacation to take before the end of the year so I'll probably head south and have a preview of where we are with it this coming week.
  2. Progressing......at a glacial pace I'll see what I can manage with a few pics
  3. Any car can be geo'd - it just depends whether the equipment needs to sit on top of the tyre or not. If so then you're looking at around -65mm BTW I also have the HiperMax coils on my IS, excellent product
  4. Don't have one of dem tings....it's a gay car
  5. But which one mate? Was thinking along the lines of Goodyear F1
  6. I'm looking for a soft/medium compound in 275/35/18 Don't give a bollox about how long it'll last, I need maximum traction for the strip.
  7. A set of front & rears goes for around $120 (shipped to the UK) on US eBay....
  8. Retro style Jap-plates are getting really popular... I have a 2JZ for the IS300 and an SW20 for the Tub
  9. First lap after the parade lap, I was second with an ST24 Mondeo in front of me......I wellied it past him on the Pits Straight @ 120mph but ended up with a bad line into Copse Corner Result.... Track was wet on the outside of the corner, I felt the back end throw a wobbly, overcorrected and then went spinning off onto the run off area which was fortunately tarmac rather than grass of gravel And on the second lap....I did exactly the same thing again Dave Ellen took the vid Mike's Spin
  10. I'm out of the country for around two weeks each month. When I'm here in the UK, I work from home....so my cars are not daily runners and I don't feel the urgency for BB to be completed in a given time frame. When the job is done well....
  11. The lastest is that......work is in progress Albeit slowly
  12. Set of KW Variant-3 coilovers for my MR2..... Stainless steel construction, adonized springs, can be adjusted to -65mm front and -75mm rear, with 14 way adjustable dampening. Looks like quality kit! Won't have time to fit them before TRAX this weekend unfortunately, but could well be heading down to see Dr Bones for a geo as soon as they've settled...
  13. If this only ignites unburnt fuel then it must be a bit of a fart then? I have seen images of 10ft flames thrusting from the exhaust, are these preloaded with Methanol or something. The effect isn't all that good with a flamer kit.........like comparing a bunsen burner with a welding torch. It's not difficult getting a turbocharged car to spit flames - fit an unrestrictive downpipe, remove the cat and fit a big cat-back. Set the fuelling to run rich, get the motor nice and hot and you have a mobile flamethrower!
  14. This mod doesn't inject fuel into the exhaust, it's simply a spark plug, that when energised, causes any unburned fuel to ignite. It doesn't have the same effect as a FI engine spitting flames!

    I know what the slacker is up to They'll be fine at the front but you'll need a 15mm spacer at the back for any real effect
