you'll be rite Troy, you've done all the R&D you will ever need on the internet....

I just dont get this at all. You have a motor that you've spent 11ty thousand months building, but still aren't 100% confident in its ability to hold intself together with the power you "plan" on making... Soooo, what the **** is the point in this build? what are you trying to achieve? Would it not be better to make a genuine 700rwhp and run a 12.3 then to absolutely NEVER have the car running, constantly spending more money and buying better parts only to break them time and tmie again, to make more power that you have never, and probably never will use? I'm just trying to see the purpose in this build..

It's a supra bro... 1000rwhp for 130mph.

^haha, like all the ones on youtube making 1000rwhp and doing launches on street tyres at 60kmh and not even turning a tyre.

It's a street car, not a race car I never intended for the setup to get as big as it has With all the dramas I've had with it, I'll never be confident in the motor, even if it had billet mains and carrillos The rods in it are proven, but I'll always be skeptical It will run around all day long at 700+ It would have been running weeks ago but once it was about to go together we found another problem, then the exhaust can snapped and u can't buy just 1 cam so that cost me another 900, then noticed some broken guides in the head and it goes on But hopefully all my bad luck has ended and the car should be all good It's built to be driven, not a race car but it will go to the track to get a number My missus is very much over it and wants me to get rid of it but not yet It will be at the track soon and I won't be telling anyone when that is Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

yes you will

Because what someone says they are using on the net is Gospel...Troy I hope it goes this time because after the drama's you have had most would of walked away....

Hey troy do you get on supraforums with the never-ending build? Or are we the only ones lucky enough to hear your life story?

Johnny I didn't mean u don't have a clue on how to build or race a car What u have achieved is unreal with that car, your timeslip proves it What I meant is if u had a clue as to just how much sh1t I've gone thru with this car and my other cars Plus I don't just look on the net for r&d I have spoken to quite a few people about what works and what doesn't If it wasn't for sean@titan, none of this car would be together He has looked after me an enormous amount! This car will be at the track soon What will it run? Probably the typical supra 13s@140+mph Remember I've never raced at the track ever! Yes most people would have walked away with everything that has happened with this car but I couldn't I really want to just drive it and enjoy it Remember this is a home build, not a workshop with majority of the work done by Pigsy and all put in the car and wired up ect by me

Troy, I would have walked away if I had half the trouble you have had, But end of the day if it's done right first time then there should be no problems unless you find a week point then thats R&D, I've had failures but not with the engine I built with Justin, it has been faultless....But have not believed anything I've read on the net most of it is just keyboard warrior stuff......

Sherif, if you are referring to my comment I simply agreed with Troy on his comment on eagle rods, no harm intended mate. And trust me I'm no keyboard warrior! What you have done with a single cam and small tire is unreal!

I'm not having a go at anyone

don"t f*ck with the CAPALABA MAFIA

I hope sooner than later you realize, the pain you're suffering chasing that 300 od HP, that you don't even need, just isn't worth the dramas. I think you need less time reading, more time driving... 800rwhp isn't exactly what I'd call 'just a street car', what you can't hook up on the street you shouldn't even be worrying about... Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Well im looking forward to power play tomorrow. Its a shame you cant make it Troy. Im sure your supra will be ready whens its ready. Im kind of hoping for rain tomorrow...... I may have a chance at winning some races then Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Good luck at powerplay Sean I'm heading up for a look, hopefully it's a nice day ---------- Post added 18-05-12 at 14:26 ---------- What makes u think it won't hook 800 on the street?
