OMG what a moron, that had me in stitches. :lol: :lol: :lol:

That looks like quite a good tread mill, which would have set him back quite a few dollars, must have more money than brains to have gone out, bought the tread mill just for this purpose, when he could have achieved the same by just letting the bike idle on stands or just ride the damn thing!

One, of many, dumb parts is he didn't want to let it idle on the stand because he lives in a quiet neighbourhood. But for some reason he thought it would be quieter if he ran the bike at 20mph on a tread mill :huh:

For some reason it reminds me of Ferris Buelers day off when they try to idle the Ferrari in reverse to reduce the mileage on the odometer.

"This is an example of how laws here are so stupid. I was written a ticket for parking half my car on the grass and half my car in my driveway.... "tried to squeeze two cars in one parking space". This is in front of my own home and front lawn. To make things even more worst the officer had to climb over my 5 foot fence just to write the ticket. My whole front yard is enclosed by a fence including a remote fence to let my car in. THIS GRINDS MY GEARS!!"

Hahahaha..... it's not like the thing was totally unrego'd, he could've just done a couple of weekend freeway trips..... surely 48 hours of riding would yield about 2500 miles?

      Your solution is akin to suggesting that switching to a different car manufacturer would resolve the issue. However, not everyone shares the same enthusiasm for using an iPhone as you do.

      Turboed Corolla Overbuilt?

      that engine will be fine, the rods are the main thing to be concerned about. The 2860 is a decent turbo for the 1zz but in this day and age I'd go for a G25-550. The injectors might be on the small side, we run DW1000's. You need a full length injector, the shorter injectors with adaptors like ID1050x dont fit the 1zz head. You don't need an aftermarket intake manifold, if you do go down that path, avoid the CNC innovations unit, it's garbage. Do the boost control with a MAC valve and control it with the aftermarket ECU of your choice, I use Link stuff on most of my builds with the G4x Storm as the minimum. I also wire a fuel pressure sensor and oil pressure sensor to the ECU in my installs. Use a decent intercooler, the better cores (ARE, PWR, Garrett, Vibrant, Plazmaman, Hypertune) work a lot better than the chinese stuff like Aeroflow. a 450x250-300 fits fairly well with custom end tanks to route the cooler pipes through next to the radiator Don't forget about the clutch and gearbox. These days I like the Uniclutch twinplate, Above 300whp you'll want to think about upgrading the 3rd and 4th gears in the box also with the SSC (Hollinger) gear set and install an LSD of your choice. If you're going to give it a hard time, you'll also want an oil cooler. I like the HKS thermostat type sandwich plates and setrab or mocal oil coolers with -10 speedflow fittings/lines (Chinese AN fittings neck down to a lot smaller internal diameter in their bends, not great for flow) You'll also want to think about brakes, Celica or Sportivo front calipers will bolt on with sportivo discs as a starting point. To have somewhere like Tunehouse do the work you'll want to budget somewhere between 20-40K

      Camry Touring 2010 Fuel consumption 15.2L/100km. Normal?

      I did the mathematics myself regarding costs vs benefits for fuel injector cleaner. I have changed from 91ULP to 95PULP and 98PULP. Price difference can be about 13 -20 cents. Compared to 91ULP, Premium quality fuel should have a better quality additive package designed to have superior engine cleaning capabilities so the engine can perform at their best.

      "Fuel injector cleaner is a waste of money" Only if you by the cheap crap if you use LiquMolly a German Product it does work and you won't waste your Money.

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Generally, yes. In the 60s, and earlier, there were cars with positive grounds, so I'm always a bit hesitant to say the negative wire. It is always the one that bolts to the body. Herb
