Would that be an Aristo V600 QT? :D /*thinks of the trouble involved in getting a pair of auto boxes to work in sync - naaaaahh...*/ nah you get rid of the auto boxes and run them into........ no stop now i said no encouragement so what flange fitting does the standard twin turbo's use i can't move for t4 flanges but i dunno what the standard one is anyone any idea. ok not to worry a few things have resolved themselves as the turbo's turned up today. However theres a bloody big crack in the flange courtesy of DHL who will be getting some shortly if i get this up and running does it mean i can use the aristo TT downpipes and decats?

yes things have been sorted out almost i have the bumper just waiting for a few attaching parts now

i assume you know but be wary of using kanji characters for non japanese words as they don't translate all the time might be better off trying katakana

try the injen kits i have one on my GS

this was another thing i was doing its half finished as i am not going but it may come out again one day

does that mean i could have one aristo with an engine in the front an engine in the boot and one to spare imagine the horsepower now that would be a project :D (i'm kidding please don't encourage my stupid ideas)

If i went for a newer motor i would go for the supra, the lex will always be there to play with though. It would make sense to get the base and work from it but wheres the fun in that

its not about easy its about making it your own :D the sc300 and the n/a supra are the same engine as the GS so it should translate In an ideal world eventually i will get hold of a 2jz-gte but that has to wait so i want something to play with as i'm getting bored well i won the turbos anyway at 30 quid i can afford to lose them if needs be plus i'll have spares if anyone ever needs them lol

they are cheap enough to risk and its just the chance to lay down the basics and have a play. Refurbing the turbo's not a problem either if i can get hold of the parts, i have the technology :D. At the min i'm not looking to spend 5-6k maybe next year rather than buy something else minds not made up yet :winky:

will they go on and run to give me time to get something more interesting ?

they are easy to change you just need a socket set 14mm for the top mounts i think, 17mm for the anti roll bar links and 20 oddmm for the bottom of the shock (might not be accurate as its from memory) you do need compressors to get the springs on though. After the first corner it took me about 30 min a corner to change the springs and rebuild so its not too gruelling

well done mate isn't it a greater sense of satisfaction when you can say "i did this" rater than letting the garage do it. Out of interest how many bits have you got left over is normally traditional to have three odd bolts :D

is this for the MK1 though yoshi and there are 2 types of rear caliper for the mk1 if they are the right ones i could well be interested

already packed the sliding pins it went then returned its more the fact that occasionally i get a big cliunk like a piston has stuck and then fired in at speed can you get new sliding pins seperately as a consumable?

i have a disc full of them somewhere around here, can't you just set real music as the ringtone realtones are so last thurday week :D

So was I, especially after the car didn't need a B service which saved me £200. There goes that money! all round that is, Mark may well correct me as it was about 12 months ago i bought them i am assuming the sports front suspension is the same as the normal GS though bar the coil length

well the bigger wheels aren't a problem now bought some 18's today oops is that £50 a caliper

contact TDi and get some eibachs they will do nicely about £214 if i remember correctly

Just recently i have started to get alot of clanks and clunks from the calipers when driving and sometimes when the brakes are applied. I have had the calipers out anti-siezed them repacked bits with grease etc but a few weeks on the problems back. I have an idea that a few of the rattles could be solved with replacing the anti rattle springs and getting some new rear pads (which i will as soon as i know which ones they are). Really with the age the car is now i think replacing or refurbishing the calipers may be the way ahead so i thought there may be some around here who could fill me in on the details :D 1. Will supra calipers go on as a direct fit and which ones are better the J spec or uk, also do i need 17's min to run supra brakes 2. Where can you get caliper kits and how much are they. 3. Are there any other calipers i can adapt to fit I'm not looking to go big brake upgrade at the minute before someone suggests it too. Need more HP first to warrant it ;) Austin

That's not true .............. http://www.pistonheads.com/news/default.asp?storyId=11288 ;) so electronic media is admissable then thats good to know

this is probably why i will never get rid of my GS i'll just take it off the road and change the running gear and engine etc and definately why i would never buy a brand new car unless i had the money to burn. If i consider how closely i am lookign at supras at the minute and if i part with 10k for one how much of the lex can i change for that. in reality i don't need any more gadgets in the car i'm still in awe of the moving steering wheel :D

mine did this a while ago partly because of the starter again the rac couldn't get it to go and towed it when i looked at it one of the big fuses for the starter had gone worth a look i changed my starter motor and could have fixed it for a pound
