In 2008 we had a testing bay setup for the sound off competitions, which was oversighted this year. For 2011 I'm certain it will return.

Due to a glitch in the entry process, the penalty free entry date has been extended until midnight tonight, so head over to http://www.toyotacarclub.net/index.php?pag...d=ToyoShow_2010 if you don't have your entrant number yet. Payment for your entry can be made either online using the paypal link from your entry or in person at the start of the cruise on Friday night. The online entry processing will be taken offline after midnight tonight, so ensure you have your (at least unpaid) entry in before then to avoid the late fee. Entries will also be accepted throughout the weekend at either the Cruise, Dyno or Show 'n' Shine. If you cannot get your online entry in, then print out the form below, fill it out, and get along to any of the events with your $30 ($40 to include dyno). The Cruise meets up at 6:00pm for a 7:30pm departure from the carpark next to the Henley Sailing Club on the corner of Burbridge and Seaview Roads. The cruise is free for ToyoShow Show 'n' Shine entrants, however other drivers can come along to check out the cars out on the road, and grab a copy of the route instructions for a gold coin donation (driver and vehicle details will need to be provided to allow the organisers to keep track of who is on the cruise).

So.. Basically, if I get a single piece bracket made (milled?) up to mount the supra (RA60) caliper to the AE71 strut, with MA61 disks, it should be alright. He was mainly worried about the (to put it 'bluntly') 'cut'n'shut' job of the bracket then. Oh.. And I'd love to say thanks for the inspirational job you've done here. I've just started studying mechanical engineering at the moment, and if I can produce something half as good as you're result, I'll be a very happy camper.

Can I ask what was the issue with the brakes. I only wonder, as I was looking at going with the MA61 supra fronts on my AE71 to go with the 20 valve. Surely it's not that they are not good enough at stopping the car, as I've only heard good reports about the ability of supra brakes to stop the lighter AE's?

Funnily enough, I was just reading your thread this morning... :)

I didn't happen to notice anything like that. Can you see it in the engine bay pics posted? I did check, but I've forgotten, so I'll look again tonight, and let you know. Don't know how to tell if it had rust protection though? Well, took it out for it's first run last night, and have decided that my plans need to take a different direction. While the engine upgrade will be great, I had a 'hairy' moment or two that I think I'll need to look at first. Ran out of brakes at out point on a downhill section approaching a 10-20km/h hairpin that I was expecting and so had already slowed for. Foot was at the floor, and then I grabbed the handbrake too. My mate behind me says that there was a tonne of smoke pouring off of the brakes. but she just wasn't wanting to slow. Galdly it all ended well (just), and I made it round the corner, however I think that the brakes will definately need to be looked at first. Also the suspension seemed to be a little too floaty for my liking, so I think I'll have to look at that as well. So it looks like I'll be keeping the 4ac in there for a while longer than initially expecting. I think the first point of call might have to be adding some new upgraded pads (the fronts were pulled off the car we got the disks and calipers off at U-Pull-It) to see if that doesn't improve things, and if not then look at something to improve on the abilities. But I'd rather not go through anything dramatic just yet as I don't want too much engineering to be required until I'm getting closer to being able to do it myself.. Any suggestions for bolt on upgrades? As for progress, I've managed to almost strip all the paint from the roof, and started on the boot, but the major work from the last while has been to get the clutch changed which required waiting for some new plate bolts when one of them sheared off in the flywheel (luckily it was only in hand tight, so it was easy to get out).

Well, we solved the issue. The starter motor lead was hooked up to the earth on the distributor, and the earth from the coil was hooked up to the starter motor... :) Switched them around the 'right' way, and now she's running like a bought one... :) Thanks for the advice though guys..
