    Bosch Platinum+4 spark plugs

    I say try Splitfire plugs, or stick with NGK. It was thanks to Super 4's that my XR4x4 went west :(

    supercharged idea, help me with this

    Question - and excuse me if i sound a little optimistic/dumb here. Is there no way to mount a blower so that it almost sits on top of the rocker cover? Think about it this way. Instead of just having a straight crossover pipe into the TB, have the TB almost directly bolted to the blower, and the...

    Rover K-Series, 1.8 litre 180bhp. Newer ones have the supercharged Toyota Engines. In a car that weighs less than most peoples pubic hair, thats more than enough. They might be 'small' there, but they're not that small!!

    White Gauges

    Nope - no joy - Supra's being unpopular cars here, they never made them. There was another manufacturer of gauges that i found once, and i've not found them again since - they did red/yellow/white and blue dial kits....anyone have any idea?

    Elise's arent hard to see here. Then again, we dont have suburban military vehicles littering the roads ;) My Supra is smaller than my familys old '86 Passat Hatchback - the bonnet on that thing stretched for miiiiiiles! :D

    Brake rotors and pads

    Well Toyota Dealership in Barnet wanted to charge me £400 for the privilege, plus £75+VAT per hour for the work. I ended up getting a set of hardly used OEM ones on eBay for £12 :D Yeah i know they werent new, but less than 500 miles of wear on them, no lip on the discs, pads had loads left on...

    Does ANYONE have the Full Do-Luck kit?

    Dunno if its just me, but i always preferred the more understated look of the Kaminari kit - the 80's promo shot they have on their site (blonde woman with bouffant hair) - thats the kit i want. in that colour. with those wheels.

    Oh well, was a nice thought. I wonder if Lockwood still does them for the Supra....

    White Gauges

    Looking good, although, the difference in the warning lamps is still an issue...and i wonder if anyone here has an RHD gauge cluster to compare these to for installation, that might be handy :)

    White Gauges

    I was looking around for some EL gauges for my '88 N/A and i've come up with nothing. Tried looking for a set of just plain white gauges and i think i've come up trumps. This place...

    Timing advance?

    Whats the stock motor octane number for the 7M's? I'm assuming its 89. I've done the math, and by your account, 98 RON fuel + 89 MON /2 = 93.5 - which is what i always fill up with.

    BHG is just a right of passage

    Timing advance?

    Europe measures only by the RON number - either 95 Unleaded, 98 to 101 Unleaded or 97 Leaded in some places that still allow it. Lowest i run is 98 Unleaded, 95 is for weenies in Clio's :D

    Timing advance?

    so....10degrees is standard, but 12 to 14 is good for both more hp/torque and miles per litre?

    electrical gremlins

    Check the alternator output - could be bad brushes, or in need of new armature like mine was a week or two back.
