Ok people, just rang Weston to confirm and we're booked in for 10am on the 29th October. We have the whole day to ourselves.

I'll put a thread up over on mkivSupra.net to get a few more Supra's there for the day. Get a bit of a Scooby v Supra thing going on!

2.0 litre Turbo.

Standard they have 212bhp, so hoping for a bit more.

Yeah traction is a bit of a pain, I struggle to get any at all in the wet, and the dry seems to spin the wheels in 1st 2nd and 3rd, so not as easy to drive as my scooby or Evo.

4wd Focus RS would be good!

Get yourself Racelogic Traction Control - Supra's have traction issues too so loads have it fitted to theirs. Everyone swears by it over on Supra.net.

Bit pricey though £350 - £500 plus fitting I think....

Just a quick question. How familiar are these guys with scoobs and do they know how to dyno one correctly..?

Sounds silly I know, but if they don't set the kit (and top kit it is..) up correctly (gear/gearing/wheelbase/cooling/ +/- tacho & speedo tolerances etc) for scoobs then at best we'll be wasting our time and worst have a very sick scoob..!

Just worth knowing IMHO..
