3dsmax doesnt run on OSX :) Actually, i've installed it as a boot option only, not as a VMWare thing...it ran fine....although the novelty wore off inside a few hours...

PC's can run OS X too, that is, if you really want to infest your system with a POS Operating system that doesnt support any decent applications ;)

Yep - might as well break out the ass-less chaps dude...

Hmm...the clutch is something i'd like to last a long time - i seem to wear through clutches like no-body's business...i mean the Rover 216GTI i had may have only had 130hp from its D16A6 Honda engine but i burned through it in less than 2 months...

Who's your clutch by? RPS? SPEC? OS Giken?

Quin - a Mazda MX5 is considered a sports car....and its generally percieved as if you can afford the car and the insurance, you can afford the fuel :p Poodles - Well, i had considered SPEC but the range of clutches they have is a little on the limited side - i want to retain decent pedal feel...

I'm in the UK - so i know no-one with a 'C5'. And actually, i've driven cars with higher-hp than 450 before, to be honest, its not exactly special. I want to make my Supra as reliable in terms of power output as i can and use it as a daily driver. Consider also that my average yearly mileage...

No danger of that then...i never run anything lower than 95 RON (which is about 91 octane for you lot...) and most of the time i use 98 RON (94 octane for you).

I have bad luck with scooters...last time i was on one as an 11 year old i came right off it....into the wall of a barn...at full throttle...

I was always under the impression that pushing a lot of boost on a stock headgasket isn't exactly advised...I dont fancy having to do another rebuild or replace the headgasket for a while...

Hmm....still, theres another reason not to push too much boost - the headgasket isn't a metal one. It's not stock Toyota item, but its still not metal! Although i do have ARP's....

Bountykilla - i realise that if i push a stock CT26 to its limit, i'll end up with 300rwhp or 350 at the crank, but i dont WANT to push it that far for sake of reliability. Getting mine rebuilt as stock, vs getting it rebuilt as a 54 or 57 trim is almost negligible in terms of cost. I'd rather...

Joe - thats the Max i'll ever run...a T4 & manifold would be more expensive than just getting something like a 57 trim and would happily see me through for a few years. Even if i end up with 320 at the crank, i'd be happy, although should i wish to up the boost past about 10psi, i'd like the...

Well i had an Ford Sierra RS Cosworth once, the engine was identical to an RS500 setup....no power until about 3500rpm and then it all got shoved in at once....and got light on it again. very narrow powerband...

450 CRANK HP. And that would be the absolute maximum i'd ever run, its not the figure i'm aiming for. I've looked into MAFTPro, but theres no one on this side of the great pond that would have the first clue how to set it up, whereas the MAPECU and HKS options are more widespread. The reason...

Lol - i just imagined myself on a Honda 90.....even in my imagination it wouldnt move...

Well only looking for max of about 450 crank HP, a larger turbo would be more expensive an provide very little gain over the cheaper, trimmed CT26. Got any of those FCON/VPC reviews?

Okay - now that my Supe is finally almost ready to be driven once again, after almost a year off the road, i've been doing some window shopping for upgrades. I'm not looking for a mad mental spec - i'd like to keep it driveable. I'm not planning on doing 1/4 miles either. Spec so far: Stock...

Yeah - you're only allowed to drive the 'domino' branded scooter with the pizza box on the back.

Heh - i'd do something like that if i werent relegated to using a 75cc Honda Scooter (you're not allowed to use a non-approved vehicle) :/
