Well done Hames :D 15.7 is a very nice time for the stock Stivo. How was the 1->2 change?

Did you get a ticket? if so can you share with us plz? would like to see the 60ft, reaction time, 1/2 way time, final speed etc :D

We will have to organise a few more of us to go out to the test&tune nights at the Willowbank Dragway ;)

Hames - Good work mate :) now the fight is on for the best 1/4 mile time with proof (ie.ticket no G-Tech) in the forums.

Would you guys like to see a sticky where we can post our official 1/4 mile times??

Your reaction time was 0.56 sec slower, so if you'd launched at the same time, with the same gear changes, you could have run about 15.2 secs!!

With practice, you might get into the 14's. Well done!

Nar with test n tunes it doesnt matter about reaction time, they just time once you start going, not on green....

When the car is run in, you will get better times. Well done dude.

Also when you learn the car, and get better at shifting, again your time will improve.

With all the above, low 15s, high 14s is certianly in the ball park.

With the modded stivo's in this forum, 14s would be easy. It will be nice to see peekay34's red barren and trd141's black beauty go down the 1/4 mile.

Also if our cars are producing less than what they should (see http://au.toyotaownersclub.com/index.php?showtopic=700), you never know how really fast our rice machines really are.

Great Times !

How much fuel was in the tank?

Do you have the standard wheel/tyre/suspension package on your car?

Great time bro, 15.7.

Slow reaction time though. The trick to a good reaction time is to let the clutch out after the 2nd amber light comes on.

That way youll have it down to around .03 sec mark. If you let the clutch go at the green by the time it locks up you waste too much time. When i raced i had beaten a car that ran a flat 15 cos of the r/t.

Saying all that, its easier said that done. When the nerves kick in when your staging its much harder.

Anyway well done bro.... i dont know why all the mags show such crap times for our cars....

      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.
