Can we have LIFT in spirit instead?

Dude? Its at dinner time!

Hmm... I'm looking forward to seeing some of the TRD/AEM/Ingen CAI's in action on the sunday meet. I'm wondering if my Simota short ram is as loud as them...

*Puts screwdriver and wrench in pocket and start walking around the neighbourhood lookin for celicas*

maccas is just after chaddy (city direction) ← Yo, count me in for the Macca's meet up, can we set a time? Oh, and is Bigbum joining us?

Hey, on the note of that, so future if I want to grey import a Sportivo from Japan over, I won't be able to do so coz the corolla chassis is already here right?

Well, according to the weather man, Sat and Sun are both 18 days. I'd prefer sat but Nino you want to settle a day?

Cool! Hey Danz, Marcus, can we meet at Chaddy's to go there? My Melb Geography is still really bad. Erm. what day is it anyway?

Light Blue rolla with custom red plates NXXI (the X's are censored), lowered and nice rims on the monash freeway (Vic) about 9 ish this morn.

Yeah man! You show them what an Ascent can do! It ain't about driving fast, its about beating the other guy!

go danz and shao!

Welcome man! And good to hear the Ascent is going strong. (who needs the rest of that fancy stuff? save it for the mods!)

Reakon reopen the days for sat and sun and decide on after seeing the thurs weather report?

Good show mintos! But it from a theoritical point of view (too much unpracticed engineering here) it is highly possible to create a small pressure difference with in the intake that will enable faster airflow. (and the answer may not lie in an inline fan, i'm still pondering it) but the problem is that without building this sucker from scratch and cutomizing a control system for it based on speed and engine output (revs) it will only benefit the engine for a very narrow speed and rpm range. And then deciding whether or not this is feasible, and at the end of the day, its just a bit of fun for a project.

Its tough to find a fan that will generate the pressure diff that will make it worthwhile and still run from the batt or straight from the alternator. Still I'm thinking about it and would love suggestions towards making a prototype inpipe blower.

Hey all, So I was just surfing ebay and talking to some wreckers and found out that recond superchargers (or ones that u pull out of any old wreck) are pretty cheap. So what do u guys reakon will be needed to go a cheapo supercharge job on an auto 1zze? I figured that the TRD kit is pretty much the supercharger, a new manifold and a piggyback ECU (is that all? someone pls correct me?) So what do u guys reakon? about 400 bucks for a supercharger another 500(?) for a new manifold and another about 500 bucks(?) for a unichip. possible for a cheap supercharge job?

Wow, those look sweet! Hey I don't suppose we can get them from ur supplier anymore?

Yeah Blueman, True if the thing fits, but if the angle is funny? trouble all around eh?

Erm... they all look a bit pricey to me (if you include the shipping) with the risk it may not fit. If you want to go short ram why not just goto ur local muffler shop and ask them to do one up for u? The most expensive bit to pay will be the seat to the MAF sensor and whatever bend u put in to avoid the battery

hmm, i guess sunday will be good for me... although I won't have time to clean up the engine bay and my latest mod won't be in yet.

Just clarifying, seeing as this shape Corolla went on sale in December 01, wouldn't the first batch have arrived November/December 01? ← hmm... thats what the guy who sold it to me told me... Mine's Feb '02...

People! My car's 2002 model, first batch of 'rolas in this shape to arrive on these shores. So over the years the tin has disappeared. Anyhow, its 15 bucks from some place in Dandenong to mix up some for me. Anywhere else that's cheaper?

Hey, does Egene know we're coming? or we're just going to park in front of his cafe (or around his rolla) and cause a ruckus? Oh, BTW did i mention I had an APexi RSM to sell? (shameless plug) He (or she) that buys it can have it installed there and then! oh and second that, can I have the address to the cafe?
