    I love the way that this guy does his cars. There is already a picture of his Soarer's engine on this Thread. TDI done alot of work for him. And this is the Supra Engine bay. Amazing

     

    That supras not looking like that at the moment tho, had a nasty meeting with a brick wall ;)

     

    Engines ok tho, think it was all body work damage, o yeah and rad/intercooler.

     

    To be honest i think ive got a winner here guys if this isnt the nicest engine bay even tho a bit over the top.

    Ive got a halfords one its a bit odd tho becasue you can use it on a 1.3 starlet a 2 litre Celica and a 3 litre Supra this i thought was werid as its pretty small and there alot of difference in the engine sizes. Ive got it on my car at the moment and it seems ok LOL

     

    Some cars have magentic oil sump or oil sump nuts so that they collect the metal bits and bobs :( mates punto had bits of his turbo fins in it HAHAHAHA

    Yep went round the whole M25 yesterday ;) most bad

     

     

    Left at 4.15 4.30 ish didnt get in till 7.45 crap the whole way home, the old M25 flash cameras were in full swing catching load of ppl coming towards us (i wasnt able to go quick enough even tho it was 40mph)

     

    Back to the car, Tony the car feels great, a bit of a harsh ride but worth it as it rides the corners so well, body roll is minimal and can get the rear out easier if wanted :D

     

    At work so need to get some photos up later on tonight

    I am unsure why to want the rear lower than the front? could you explain why you desire the look or suggested handling.

     

    The ride height bias can be optimised to improve the Dynamic Index if needed :D

     

    Say what Mark ?????

     

    Ill be at TDI around 12 ish

    My Tezza is about -50mm all round, the geo on the front is recoverable at that but not on the back. I am at 2 degrees neg camber on the rears with the adjusters maxed out. That causes wear on the insides but I still got 25k out of the last set of F1's which I think is reasonable and it handles great :(

     

    As for speed bumps some are a problem and there are some roads I avoid at that height.

     

     

    Can you post up a photos of your car mate, what size wheels you got on ????

    Barry is your car at 40mm then front and rear ????

    Ive just got a new set of HKS hyper max 2 coilovers :lol: bargin of the century as well :lol:

     

    Just wondering for an IS200 whats a good height to have the front and rear, and also what is the lowest height that car can be geo'd on.

     

    I was thinking 30-40mm drop at the front and 40-50mm at the back (from standard height)

     

    Will this be ok to get geo'd and will it be a pain in the arse for speed bumps, not got that many round hear and they can be driven round :P

     

     

    Cheers Elliott

  19. New wheels

    Yes all looks well.... Personally i would prefer 10' less front camber, for security. The KPI positions are impossible but i feel this is just a program error since i have seen this before.... The overall picture is care and consideration for the positions.... Who set it and how much did it cost?

     

    Yes they are TTE wheels ad77

     

    Tony Lexus Brighton did them, also cleaned inside and out and looked at the discs which they think are the problem for the vibrations when braking,

     

    Cost £105 is this good ?????

     

    Also i havent got a clue about all this stuff when i come to you with my new suspension you'll have to teach me what it all means :lol:

     

    im always learning stuffon all these forums
