There was a N15 SSS with big chromies and exhaust. There was also a MR2 SW20(not MR-S). Everyone floored it and obviously by the time i hit LIFT i was ahead but i went on to mis-shift into 2nd :( , gave it another nudge and i was in 2nd but by then the MR2 was beside me and i was amazed we were side by side even when i got up to 3rd gear 7000rpm. I guess the mis-shift slowed me down a lot. I couldn't see the SSS.

But anyway i remember when i was driving the WRX in-gear acceleration with a MR2 that had exhaust (not sure if it was turbo but don't think so) and i only managed to pull away slowly in 3rd gear. So i think they are pretty quick, has anyone had experience with them? What are their specs, from memory around 130kw 2000cc motor?

it's funny you brought up this topic just the night after i had a run against one. freezing melbourne night, im travelling home from a family get together with my parents. we pull up to a set of red lights on a 3 lane road. mr2 in the middle lane, me on the left and parents on the right. mr2 driver looks at me and starts revving, i thought "NO WAY", not with my parents on the other side lolz... but i thought what the heck, so i threw it in neutral and revved too (even tho u can't hear anything :lol: ) ... lights hit green, me as usual, pedal to the metal and the mr2 launches off with wheelspin... i can see my mum sh*tting her pants on the other side from the noise. anyway, we take off it even for the first 50 metres, then he pulls away slowly... then quickly and away and away he went and i never saw him again... made me look like i was going backwards... but hey! he was fast! :angry: even had fat passengers... i woulda had him if my parents weren't there! :lol::lol::lol:

anyway, here's a list of cars that i've raced and made me go backwards :angry:

Nissan 200SX S15 *turbocharged mind you!*

Toyota Supra N/A (im pretty sure)

Honda Integra VTIR

Pergueot 206 GTI

Toyota MR2 Turbo

Renault Clio Sports (with 3 lard passengers)

Nissan Skyline R33 GTS

Farrari 360 Spider (YES! NO JOKES! I have photos on my fone to prove :lol: )

Just found the specs for the SW20 94' onwards MR2, it should have a 3S-GE 2000cc 16v 4 cyl with 129kw and 185NM torque. Goes pretty well for those specs even though i mis-shifted 1-2, 2nd and 3rd ingear was pretty much on-par although i felt the Stivo edging ahead slowly near the top of 3rd gear before he backed off. Will get him next time ;)

If it was a MR2 GT with the 3S-GTE i would have been left for dead, the Jap spec 185kw version with about 300NM torque runs the 1/4mile in the 13s!!!

      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

      1999 Camry Driver's door locking hatch issue

      It's possible that it could be something fouling or dirt build up, dry, or a broken mechanism, so have a look and give the mechanism some lubrication, most likely though, it'll be the actuator. I found one for a good price on Ebay, $25 delivered: Front Door Lock Actuator Right Side For Toyota Camry 1997-2001 | eBay

      Query about the correct rotors for 2006 ACV40 Camry.

      Hi, I'm looking at a set of front rotors for an ACV40 2006, 2.4L Camry. I got a good price on some RDA's at Sparesbox. However both RDA8112 and RDA7686 show as for my car and I'm wondering what the difference is and if there were changes to the rotors during the model production. So does anyone know which rotor is the correct one? Many thanks in advance.

      Android auto

      It's a simple solution though? Already laying down 60k for a RAV4, so what's another 1k on a phone to make everything work seamlessly? 👍

      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.
