Went to a test and tune last night at willowbank just to see how she would go. Motor magazine says they run a 14.9 but on the other hand wheels magazine says a time of 15.3 so i was really unsure what my outcome would be. i was hoping to get a 15 flat or a very high 14.

stalled up to about 1800rpm at the staging light and did a really good launch not 1 bit of wheel spin and ended up pullin a 14.4 B) :D

was absolutly stoked!!

reaction time was 0.742 (not good)

60ft was 2.271 seconds

and time was 14.430 @ 97.47 MPH (156.86 KM/H)

*thumbs up*!!

Good job mate. Yeah, I really want to take mine there for the fun of it, but I probably wouldn't launch it properly and mess up. It's pretty good when you consider that Ashley (SecaBoy) got 14.1 with a slightly weighed down TRD. It's amazing how a difference of milliseconds doesn't look like much, but is quite a bit on the strip though.

congrats man... you must be over the moon with that result... :D

i'm waiting on my 15,000km service, and by then, i should have "stage 2" and maybe "stage 3" completed on my car as well... so i should hopefully crack the 13 mark... :D

but yeah, congrats again!! not bad for a "family car" as most people call these cars... ;)

Don't forget to take the spare tyre and jack (etc) out. Help shave the times down a bit and keep the weight bias toward the front... :toast:

Well done not only for the time but for doing it somewhere where it should be done.

Did you get that time by using Sportshift?

How do you turn off traction control?

With the search parameters of "traction control", you will find this thread:

Turning off TRC (Traction Control)

OK There is a trick too it. After much experimenting.

To TURN OFF TRACTION CONTROL

The Procedure below MUST be completed quickly, less than 30 Secs from my testing.

1. Make sure the car is in Park and the parking brake is disengaged before you start the car.

2. Start the engine.

3. Engage the parking brake.

4. Fully depress the brake pedal and then release.

5. Fully depress the brake pedal and then release.

6. Disengage the parking brake.

7. Fully depress and hold down the brake pedal.

8. Engage the parking brake, then disengage it (while holding down the brake pedal).

9. Engage the parking brake, then disengage it (while holding down the brake pedal).

10. Release the brake pedal.

11. Engage the parking brake.

12. Fully depress the brake pedal and then release.

13. Fully depress the brake pedal and then release.

Good Luck & Drive Safely

With that said, Philip2156 has mentioned that this sequence has worked for him as well. I am yet to confirm that with another ZR6/Presara/TRD 3500SL owner, but I can say that it has not worked on my SX6.

Thanks DJKOR, one more question (off topic) how do you get the pictures of your car to show up under you replies/posts?

I just uploaded my photo to ImageShack, then used the image code in my signature:

[img=http://....]

You edit your signature by going to the "My Controls" link at the top of the page followed by "Edit Signature".

Cheers, very knowledgeable man

No worries. I wouldn't say knowledgeable, just first to answer. My signature photo needs an update. I will wash and wax my car tomorrow and do another photoshoot. Since my last one, my car has been de-badged, my exhaust tips were changed, and I put on a new front grill. I think I'm done on the exterior, so it's time for an update. Now I'm tossing up whether to use the same site as last time or find a new one. At least being in an industrial estate, there is no shortage of places to go. Just need the right lighting.

Thanks. Good to see that my help is appreciated. I don't really think my knowledge is that great, but if you say so. The latest photos are at the end of this thread. There is only a few there. I will load everything up later and post the link in that thread. In the meantime, I need some sleep. As for the mags; on a tight student budget right now. Once I finish my course and pull in the big dollars, then I will change my rims.

When are you going for the TRD blower? You know who you're coming to see when you're ready :)

Death stares Soloman.

j/k. Anyways, I finish TAFE in December, after which I plan to work with my last employer until I get another job related to my study. My old employer pays REALLY good so I should have enough money to get my exhaust fixed up around February. I've got a big rework planned for that exhaust. At least the exhaust will be prepared for when I eventually s/c it.

      2007 - floor mats

      Hi. I am just reposting this here from the Camry section just in case the broader community might be able to help. I have a 2007 Grande which is still in good nick, except for the drivers floor mat. Normally it wouldn't be a problem to replace the floor mat but because it has the word CAMRY embroidered into the floor mat, I would like to replace it with the same again. I'm feeling reasonably confident that a Toyota dealership would just laugh at a request for another factory one so my question is, is it even still possible to locate an embroidered floor mat for my 17 year old car? If so, where? Or is there a business that will replicate the original?

      Front parking sensors

      We have a 2021 VX Prado with Toyota bullbar that is the doing same thing, the dealer did a patch under warranty which made no difference. The dealer now says they fixed it under warranty (by doing the patch) and there is nothing else they can do so if we want them to keep looking at it we will be paying for it. That is not our understanding of how warranty works and will be taking this matter further.

      Cruise Control Not Engaging

      Hi. My 2008 Rav 4 cruise control has not worked since I’ve owned it. When the on button on the stalk is pressed nothing happens, not green cruise dash light or anything. Previously, I’ve had a problem when the ABS, VSC and parking brake light all turned on but that was fixed by a brake light switch replacement. But the cruise still does not work. I’ve checked all the fuses and all are good. Is this a common issue and does anyone know why it’s happening. thanks

      Toyota Corolla 2012 zre152 4 speed automatransmission issue

      Hi Gary, I would suspect a clutch problem, like not fully disengaging. Maybe you aren't fully pushing it to the floor, or the system needs topping up or bleeding or both. Herb

      Toyota Corolla 2012 zre152 4 speed automatransmission issue

      Hi Toyota owners, I'm new to this forum registration. I need some advice or help as I have a shifting issue with my 2012 4 speed automatic transmission. It doesn't do it all the time but the gears don't shift smoothly specially 3 to 4 gear it just bangs in when I'm cruising and it happens more often when hot. Got full transmission serviced with Toyota genuine parts no metal shavings in pan. Changed ATF 3 times. Full major service done, 100000 KLM on car. Full synthetic oil with 98 Ron fuel. Throttle body cleaned twice. Maf sensor cleaned. New spark plugs. No engine codes. Great loss of power sometimes specially on hot days. Please help as no mechanic knows what the issue is. Thanks in advance.
