I've started contacting some of the more traditional custom clutch specialists here in the UK, my thinking now is that there may be some mileage in that for what is clearly, (over here at least) a very low volume car.

It's the equivalent of giving the dealers wife a rebore and still expecting a complimentary coffee...

Looks great on the track. Any drivetrain issues?

Will the one after be 15th September?

Comparing an LC500 to an SC430 is fighting talk! ? My old one, UK Black Inspiration no.1:

I've had both, an LC500 Black Inspiration and the manual Supra. They are totally different cars, the LC500 is a great GT for long road trips - however whilst it's quick the reality is that it would struggle to keep up with a Golf-R. The LC500 never failed to feel anything other than brilliant...

Trouble is, a lot of the numbers/tune talk is meaningless unless they are driven in the same way. I'm generally very kind to mine and don't give it much abuse at all, however someone with the same build and a less sympathetic outlook could kill the clutch in an afternoon...

I've just had an email from Sach: Thanks for your inquiry for a ZF Race Engineering SACHS Performance clutch. By the factory, there's no reinforced or Performance clutch available for the Supra Unfortunately, it's also not possible to build a custom modified clutch, based on an original...

Good luck with it! :) Where in the country are you based? Always good to get a handle on which dealer networks are to be avoided!

I can only echo the above, take it back and insist on it being repaired/replaced. Can't stand dealers who fob people off on the basics like this!

What sort of ft/lb are you running? Street use, or track/drag? :)

Here's my shitty A90 UK spec 2 port chart! :nixon: At this time mods were: Whifbitz downpipe Akrapovic link pipes Akrapovic titanium silencer (at the time of the mapping this was on the stock silencer as the Akra was off for repair) MST intake Forge hard pipes Wagner charge cooler Whifbitz...

Nice little arse shot from yesterday morning when waiting to get into Wilton House.

Will be interested to hear how you get on with the pads! RE: Canchecked - I just haven't had the time to do anything at all with it so far. Whifbitz did the initial installation and setup, quite a lot of the default values seem to work - so I am now getting live oil/water/gearbox/Intake temps...

My thread is here: https://www.supramkv.com/threads/uk-black-manual.18587/ Should answer most of your questions. (Other than cost which will vary from place to place)

So far so good on the OE clutch, but I hardly drive it tbh, only just over 2000 miles in total! I also don't abuse it a lot, the odd 3rd gear pull here and there etc.

I think the following will be needed: Better tyres Better brakes Clutch I'm willing to abuse Bigger radiator I'm in no rush though TBH.

I went JDM Combe at the Castle Combe circuit on saturday. Fantastic turnout, and my first time at Castle Combe.. will have to get the car sorted for a track session I think!

Good weekend - think I saw 3 other A90's at Castle Combe!
