The crank pulley was an aftermarket I bought off a Supra breaker, he had sold "100s" so I saved myself £150+. Clearly not fit for purpose though, no one has ever seen one fail like that before.
That is Rics, awesome motor. He is only in the country for 6 months so the car has only been out a handful of times.
Private 3 lane motorway type of road, and leading to a exit slip road and a set of traffic lights
(I have go pro footage too). Standing start I admit I wouldn't get off the line as quick.
Hopefully see your car at a meet someday, you guys happen to live 100s of miles away though
That grey Supra is probably the nicest I've ever seen, it's perfect.
mmmmmkk, doubtful you would leave one of these for "dead", rapid cars, and if you did how did you manage to see the expression on his face while you were so far out in front?
I like the tuna here....

Not supercharged yet, my plan is to buy a Whipple in black friday sales as the kit I want is around $8000, so if I can get 20-30% saving it is a considerable discount, this kit is then good for 650-1000BHP, but I shall be looking to start around 650 simply as I'd like to have power I can use.
I will be changing my crank pulley for the SC kit but will be using an ATI damper which is as heavy as stock if not heavier and cost like $500 but Ford and Whipple recommend it to reduce harmful harmonics.
The beauty is I can buy the base kit if need be ($7000) which is good for a UK 650 horses and then if I want more I can simply add the larger TB, dual fans, injectors, smaller pulley at a later date which takes it to around 750-800 horses for around $1500.
I shall be sticking with Whipples tune (less power) but is safe and has fancy software to reduce power in lower gears and a load of other options I can change on the fly in the ECU using their software and cable on my laptop. Of course custom tuning releases a lot of additional power but your then into 800-900 horsepower territory and you lose the safety features and that does not interest me. Drive ability, reliability and usable power are more important than a few more extra horses for bragging rights.
