How's tricks ?
I've not visited in quite some time and thought I would drop by and say Hi again.
How's life been treating you all, I hope you are all well and your cars have been behaving themselves.
I have been a busy bee with my Supra since the demise of my Soarer (Still hurts to think about it)... Anyway life goes on.

Cheers all...
No 1/4 times yet.
Only had it on the dyno once and just as with my Soarer auto she's a bitch to get a proper figure from. I attended a RR day 2 weeks ago and all they could give me was a Torque figure as the gearbox would keep kicking down. Before anyone says 'But the Supra gearbox can be locked into 3rd gear', my manu mode button has been disabled. I was told this was because I am running the uprated gearbox/3800 stall. I will be taking it to a place that specializes in Supras and put it on their hub dyno and hopefully get a proper reading.
The sheet you see gives a torque reading of 655 @ 19psi... Not too shabby.
