nice helmet mate, didn't want it to match the car?

I was buying on a limited budget. This helmet will only serve it's life at the drags or QR. Unfortunately the colour is gonna have to do.

i'll take your tx3 and teach it a lesson in lift economics.

whitestivo

My TX3:

1065kg

IHI RBH5-VF10 turbo (Subaru Legacy)

Mazda Familia GTX dump pipe

2.5" exhaust

2.5" shortest-run IC plumbing for high response

300x150x75mm dual-pass FMIC

Tokico HP Bronze shocks + Dobisport lowered racing springs

Tighe Engineering rally cams

Holden Commodore 3.5" MAF sensor

Chipped ECU to 18psi + Jaycar DFA

Toyo RA1 semi slicks

Phantom Grip LSD

Gavspec short shifter with Type R weighted gearknob

=130kW ATW (~175kW crank)

You were saying?

Gav.

wow... thats almost the exact same power figure that my mate jono who has a tx3 is making... except i think he has some more mods, but is running less boost.

Yeah, I know Jono. I haven't seen his new Laser yet, but some day it will prolly be as good as his other one. :D

all that and you ain't got lift

have you at least got vvti?

on ss, i'll take 2 seconds off your best lap, and you will be slower.

whitestivo

Wait till MY car is done. 200rwkw, touch over 1 tonne, torque to rival the Aurions AND it will cost me less than a newish Stivo outright. I'll be sure to give you a wave as I go past you :)

yeah, we are both westside... so maybe indro or somethng?

So what time did you want to meet? Remembering it's about 35 minutes to Willowbank from Indro and traffic is going to be crap. What time do you finish work? Did you want to just meet there instead. Up to you.

I will be finished by like 2pm tomorrow so I have time to spare.

Yeah, I guess that should be fine. Shouldn't be overly busy at the strip do you think?

Records are made to be challenged Rowan. I just get a little over-competitive sometimes and want to be the one that someone has to beat. I'm not confident about beating you though. This isn't going to be easy.

My car is at the same level of trim that it was last time. I think this will probably be the last time at the drags for me. Pulling my sub and spare out is so tedious.

I needed to pull half my interior out to fit the e-manage anyway... figured i'd just gotten that far, may as well strip it completely.

Till my brakes fell like they are going to.... um.... break. After last time, I will remember to downshift to aid in braking since that shudder was horrible. Did yours sound kinda intense Rowan?

Yeah, BP sounds good. Easier to hit the road from there.

Yeah, it was starting to get like that. I just remember watching the 400, then 300, then 200 markers fly by and thinking that my brakes were absolutely useless.

Definitely a good eye opener to tell me what I HAVE to do before I hit the track. Plus improve the cooling to it.

I never had any brake issues when i was there last time... probably due to my slow times and manual transmission.

thats really really stange daryl... i've NEVER had any brake issues in any of my cars on the drag strip... :huh:

maybe you're leaving it too late to start braking? the finish line is where the two yellow lights are, so just start braking as soon as you pass them..

You TRD's and you better brakes. I start braking one the surface of the road changes, maybe I'll try braking those milliseconds earlier to reduce the effects.

      overheated engine

      I drive a 2010 series 200 sahara V8 automatic. I recently towed a small caravan on a not that hotter day. The temperature gauge went to about half then dropped back to normal. The motor then went into limp mode and eventually stopped. On lifting the bonnet i noticed the top radiator tank had split all the way across. I have only two months ago had the complete cooling system checked with no defects. I called the RAA in South Aust and they tried to start it but just turned over but did not fire up. It was still pretty hot. I have been told the motor would be ruined by overheating. The car has been sitting at the repairers for 5 days now and as far as i know it has not been attempted to start. Before putting a new motor in it would it be worth putting a new radiator in it and see if it will fire up? Open to any suggestions at this stage.

      1996 Trueno XZ - Is it worth modding?

      Depends on how common/rare they are in your part of the world. The XZ trim was the second-lowest so didn't come with most of the fun bits that the full-fruit BZG/V/R models did, so it's not anywhere near as desirable stock but sometimes you have to make do with what you can find, plus you shouldn't feel as guilty modding the heck out of it since most of it isn't special.

      VSC, Traction Control, Check Engine lights all on

      I attended Toyota Preston for Aurion ATX 2013 major service today. Cost $~$1300. On the way home I stopped to pick up dinner. Two fault lights: engine and VSC lights came on when I restarted the car. Car drove home just fine. I can only return the car tomorrow for them to sort out. Annoyed. Let’s see if they’re still on in the morning.

      1996 Trueno XZ - Is it worth modding?

      Hi everyone, new member to the group and owner driver of a nifty little Toyota Sprinter Trueno XZ, now this was my cousins car, I bought it off him and after various drives, I have come to the decision that this needs alot of love. Now I am wondering if its worth putting my time and money into doing this certain make n model up or should I just buy a different car to do up? I am not very car-inclined so I really don't know a lot. Any opinions would be very helpful Thankful!

      Android auto

      OK. Does any of Toyota's advertising material mention Android Auto? If so then kick up a stink, with Toyota management, about misrepresentation and false advertising, reminding them of the hefty fines. Herb
