Another fabulous Supra, looks great on those GS? wheels.

How hard is the conversion? Is it manual or auto?

Yeah GS wheels but they are going as is the carbon bonnet, body will be stock.

The conversion was done by Thor a few year back, uses a R154 manual gearbox.

What figures are you chasing this time Jamie?

Not much, this car is just a bit of fun, i fancied it because it was different, i will be happy with 450bhp.

Just been looking at this, might be an option.

Now this is just greedy Jamie

Anyway, how's the 1000-braker coming along? been dying for an update on that for ages...

The other one is going well, i just need to find time to get it on a hub dyno so we can up the boost some more, the tyres over heat to quickly on a rolling road, hope to get high boost mapped in within a couple of weeks.

ngine is easy, it just drops in on Soarer mounts (same crossmember). The work is in the manual conversion and the wiring.

Gareth, i know you know a lot about these, what do you think of going with that supercharger kit above? worth doing?

[jamiep]

Mine is out of an LS400.

Awesome (now anyway, it was just OK before you bought it)

Blimey, i thought you was dead, shame

[jamiep]

Thanks, im not sure on the autobox stuff, i did hear you just use the complete soarer/ls setup but im not sure.

Car is looking very sorry for itself at the min, sold the bonnet and wheels.

New wheels are going on next week and a stock bonnet, then its off to the bodyshop to get it looking mint.
