you embarressed about going to WSID?

then u must not have much self confidence... and the street is nothing but bumps and holes!

can you do 160km/h+ easily on the street with no worry about hitting anything? its nothing compared to the smooth surface of WSID, once you try it you wont race on the street again!

my self confidence is fine thats what my shrink tells me anyway

its just not my zone brother

how come gtr has nothing to say now?!

Cause he is not really here...Ludacris rang him up and said "Yo got fo minutes man" so he ran out the front door of his house boat pulling on his tshirt as he went, hence forgetting to turn off his computer

no i'm not... but come to runs this saturday nite and i'll race the r34

are you coming to autosalon 2006 to compete against my aerotop supra with vertical doors, 1st grade leather interior, one piece mould veilside widebody and bodykit, 21" rims, $6000 sound system?

From the Supra Forums... and the car is owned by a GIRL...

As a joint project with hi power racing (www.hipowerracing.com) i would like to inform you with a tease of what i will be doing to my much loved supra in the months to come.

after waiting six months i finally get my front cut today, this takes so long as finding a supra damaged is near on impossible, but mission was accomplished with the help of ivan. Which means my car will be in one peice again   and no more jealous boyfriends are aloud near my car  pm for more details

as you know i have a gt300 wide body kit by topsecret, which will make her look like the beast she is, i have my keen eye on set of volk gtc face 2 (size will be determined when i get the body kit fitted on the car, so we can measure off set etc)

below is a little list of what is happening to the engine there is more to come but these are just the teasers, the rest of the modifications will be let known to people as they are done to the engine. Ps, this is not my wish list this is my engine list 

Jun 3.2 L Stroker Kit, pistons con'rod crankshaft, crankshaft sprocket wheel,

valve lifter, shim, O/H gasket kit, and more too much to type will be put on to a base engine

followed by processing such as cylinder boring honing, crankshaft ASSY balance, valve grinding and much more.

As we are using a used engine the engine will be basically rebuilt, that is what ever is not getting modified will be like new. Add to this a T88 38GK Kit, intercooler kit, radiator, 1000cc Injectors, HKS F-CON V PRO ver 3, V PRO Base, fuel regulator, SARD 265L Fuel pump, Triple clutch, and this is only the beggining (do not have the patience of sitting here and writing out the whole qoute again as i am a lazy lazy person hehe  )

I am considering painting the car hot candy pink as pink is for fast cars and pink is a girls colour (my fav also)

Before meeting ivan at hi power racing i called many well known australian workshops to give me prices and quotes to which my dreams became shattered then earlier in the year when i met ivan my dreams became reality and now i am under way to having my dream supra.

If work goes well for me in the next few months you can expect to see the car up in autosalon 2006 as that will be the first day out, though plans are going accord i should have her before january (no rush as this is a project car) i will keep you posted with pictures and more posts.

Looks like you will have competition...

she got the go tho... :D

    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
