Very nice work. Now.. whos going to go S/C setup next..

Got a new knob from Hong Kong. RAZO Type340R Black

Well done vinh, very well done. :D

I like the new rims john. Keeps your ride look clean and streamline and the color blends in with the body. I think returning to the TTE front lip also suits your car too. Its nice, i like. You rolling on 18"s? it almost looks like 19s. Low profile tyres?

Just installed my new knob. Oh its so nice

sexual ambience

Thats a wicked new clutch/flywheel combo you got there.. now for mass high revving/clutch kicking/lift goodness B)

So its still a BBQ im guessing? Update on the 1st post? Johnnie is coming and is hungry... I can bring some snacks? chippies?

nice find pete

man have i been out of the loop or what?!.. :P

Old school AE FTW! :D

u are not allowed i thought we were a couple. HOW CAN U BETRAY ME LIKE THAT? well, let me be the man and have the stivo.. you have my zre. we always a couple man.. you know it :P

Sideskirts to me look too chunky. I like the TTE one like on shinobi's zre. More slim and finishes lower than standard Levin ZR skirts. If they made a custom rear bar that was the same level as the skirts maybe it'd be okay but still the front and rears are too complicated and cluttered for me. And +1 with Ray, autosalon corolla should have phat offest. IMO, fail example of the zre, didnt showcase it at all.

think i need a gf with a sportivo..

Sorry guys i will unfortunately be MIA as of tuesday night/wednesday morning. Flight leaving at 3am. Going overseas visiting asia. If i can squeeze in some time, i might meetup with you guys for a bit before i go, its gotta be earlyish though, nothing later than 9pm meetup. But yeah, should be good trip. Be back in Aus Jan 20th for another year of meetups! :D

:( Dyno Power run yesterday: 78.9kw [not even killer wasps, this would be killer bees] <_< Injen cold air intake system, WeaponR extractors and TRD sports axelback muffler = approx 5kw gain. <_< I know the zre engine isnt the most powerful, but damn, i was hoping to be in the 80s at least, even 1ZZ's with CAIs have better results. Was so depressing seeing this number. Anyways. Forget the number This is gonna be daunting for Injen CAI owners. Upon closer look at the dyno graph, i have good power from 2400rpm to 4000rpm. Then after 4000rpm to 6000rpm the power curve leans out a bit. Thats when my CAI is sucking at its best, i thought all this time i was getting more power top end but really i didnt. Suction for the loss. Now, the tuner said that im running lean with too much air and not enough fuel in the air/fuel mixture, about 15-20%! WTF!? Is that possible or is the tuner sh!t talking me? He did say it was a good thing that i got it breathing better and more air going into it. Got me and shinobi stressing hard yesterday. After speaking to a few people, if the engine was running lean like back in the days of our CAI CEL problem, wouldnt it throw a CEL? If it was running too lean way off the factory optimal settings? Another guy that was dynoing his WRX that day told me shouldnt be revving so high if your running lean because it could cause knocking/pinging which could push a piston out and wreck my engine. GG for me. Does that mean no more suction for me at 4K? Shift at under 4K now? FTMFL Man, i've tracked my zre twice now!! FML! Now the way we can rectify this running lean business would be to install some kind of AFC (air/fuel controller) to input more fuel into the mixture. End result would be im burning slightly more fuel but oh well. Another alternative would be to revert back to stock airbox but seriously after all the money and effort we spent for this CAI, fark that. A friend recommended me to get this AFC http://www.apexi-usa.com/products/?id=5347 If this is the road im gonna take then it wont be cheap, unit approx 500 plus say 250ish install plus tune 150+. sighhhhhhhhhh FFS! What do you guys think?

Thats cool buddy, but thats your opinion. I wasn't having a shot, I'm all for TRD stuff :D Just looks a bit weird thats all All good mate. When i first got it, i thought the tip looked a bit weird too, not conventional looking tip. But i like it.

Dont know yet John. I might get the TRD front garnish next year. We'll see Dyno Day today. Gonna go soon. Let you guys know how i go. :D

ummm... WTF? lol

Thats cool buddy, but thats your opinion.

Yes. X2 old bolts come off, in with the new exhaust gasket and tighten up the x2 bolts again, fit bracket into rubber. Done! Helps with the car jacked up.
