Stivo stands a chance against an RX8, i remember my Stivo in 4th gear pulling away slightly from an RX8 Type S (manual) hot on my rear bumper.. plus they haven't got much torque down low so on the track the Stivo will be punchier out of corners. Their gear ratios are also too wide, worse than our C64 6 speed.

Turbo cars i think we should forget it when we talk drags, we have to be realistic. Your mate just needs to tweak the boost up a couple of psi with a $50 boost controller and not let u know :P his 3inch exhaust and pod filter would have naurally raised his boost a psi or 2 higher anyway so there is no contest really. Stock for stock maybe closer. But it will be a much closer contest at the track, not drags.

if its a STOCK grey import 180SX i think you might stand a chance because the SR20DET are quite old and wouldn't be anywhere close to optimal condition, turbo engines also tend to lose more power compared to NA engines over time so a 10 year old SR20DET could well be on its last leg, coughing up black smoke everytime you floor it (and its common sight). People that mod these grey imports better have spare cash lying around because i can't see these engines hanging around long when the boost is played with.

No hope for the sportivo against most turbo cars.

Best bet is for a win would be against a CA18 Auto 180.

I find it funny to think all you guys talk about the peak power, but think through it all...

a.) Peak power on the sportivo is high up, where as on the turbo cars it is generally in the mid range of revs.

b.) Torque. Look at the torque on a sportivo compared to any other car. Need I say more? The cars are good, but not that good.

I have always remembered the saying, power sells cars, torque wins races...

One thing im always scared of in my Sportivo...

is the shift from 1st into 2nd...the gear just doesnt want to go in...

unless i shift at 6000rpm.....

which means no lift really..sometimes works a little higher at 7000rpm...

shifting any higer than that...forget it...

this shifting problem means im screwed at takeoff.....so i get blown either way..

      RZN169 Poor fuel economy and low/rough idle at cold start up

      Hi all, First time writter. Long term reader. I have a RZN169r 1999 Toyota Hilux 3rzfe Manual 4WD with 425,000KM. Which we have owned from 130,000KM. Since about the 400,000km mark (it had a new/used 138,000km engine only, installed at 385,000KMs) it has been using fuel and idiling rough. I'm getting 100kms less then usual. We would normally get 450-550kms per tank. Now getting 350km-400kms. Our long term mechanic of 20 years retired a few years ago and I have no one in my local area who knows these engines or who I trust. Any sugestions on who I can take my car to? I also have no faith in my local Toyota Dealer. I'm in Sydney NSW. Thank you in advance.

      Purchasing 2014 Prado GXL - Requesting Inputs

      Hello, Thanks for reading my post. We're in the middle of the process of buying 2014 Prado GXL from a private buyer in Brisbane. It has 107K km on the odometer, we arranged an independent inspection and only noticeable issue came out of the inspection is presence of rust. Inspector said general wear (ageing) and rust to the components consistent with the age and mileage. I've attached some of the images(related to rust) from the inspection, please review and let me know if I should be concerned about any future issues or as the inspector mentioned is the rust presence is expected for a 10-year old Prado. Appreciate your help in advance. Thanks, VM

      3rd Gen (XU50) Kluger new aftermarket radio install

      Hi there sorry for the late response, The reverse guidelines are on the factory camera itself (the guidelines are turned off on the Pioneer unit as it doubled up over the factory camera lines) and if I remember correctly they still retain the angle prediction. Everything else (excluding DAB) works***. But instead of using DAB I've downloaded RadioApp which has all of the DAB stations on it and is accessible by Android Auto (not sure on Apple CarPlay though) so no biggie. I also used an adapter to retain the original GPS antenna, works flawlessly. *** EDIT *** The info on the instrument cluster may or may not show, depending on what interface you end up using. In my case I've lost the audio and navigation info on the centre screen and fuel economy/vehicle customisation screens from the factory head unit but I'm not fussed by it as there are other ways to access them on a Kluger. I think it's all retained if you use iDatalink Maestro and a compatible head unit (it will be marked as such) but besides that and DAB all other functions are still operable.
