A big hello from Manchester - Jon - 08-02-2021
crafty_carper I was in trafford friday night as it happens. I go more or less every week. Mine is a GREY one though. The silver one is a polish lad with an Altezza......Mine would have had bright green rear wheels on if you noticed it.
Ive only got a couple pics wich i will put up, and get some better ones when its stops snowing :/
Tom
Yeah I seen yours, I remember the green wheels, I thought it was silver though, must of been the light.
I seen the Polish lad in the Altezza, i had a little 'play' him on our way back to McDonalds, after I got chatting to him, he said he thought he was going to leave me behind
neaky2: I dont think he expected me to sit along side him! I was in the Red/Gingery IS200, I used to go every week without fail until about 6 months ago, now I only go when I can be bothered, its not as good as it used to be, its too busy now

Haha, yeah ive had a play with him a few times too.
I spotted yours straight away when I first come on, was gonna stop when you were parked up at the top but the mrs didnt wanna park all way up there haha
Ill have to come have a look next time your around, have a good natter. Guessing you got the TTE kit?....anything else you had done?
Tom

Yes and No to the TTE kit. No its not the exact TTE kit, but Yes as to it being practically the same.
I used the same supercharger (Eaton M62, from a Merc SLK230), made my own cradle, used a 130mm pulley from a Merc SLK230 water pump, ebay intercooler, HKS BOV, Patriks Black Box, pipercross air filter and ebay pipework/hoses. Ran it like that with a Cat back 2.5" exhaust and a Camcon piggyback ECU for about 12months before I decatted the manifold, and decatted the main cat. Finally, I changed the standard injectors for 1ZZ injectors from a Toyota Avensis/Celica etc.
I have a 160mm pulley sat here from a Merc Sprinter, but I need to get a 15mm spacer made up before I can put it on. I want to install a AFR gauge before I do that to make the everything is running correctly/safely.
I'll try and come out this Friday. Fell free to come over for a chat/look at my charger install, but its not pretty - function over form and all that.
