Good stuff

so do u have a CAI yet?

Why dont u guys just ook at our 1/4 mile records and compare them to the mazda clubs??

Nope.

its actually good resale compared to alot of cars.

You have to remember that once you drive a new car at appro $29,000 our of the toyota dealer you lose close to $4000 straight away if you wer to sell it privately.

If you got a 05 less then 10,000ks it would go for around 24 - 25k

And rememberin the world of car sales mods dont add value ot the car. eg wheels sytem etc.

They actually somtimes make it harder to sell.

And i cant beleive ppl who take photos of their cars on car sales with the P plates on.

a big no no!!

i knwo of 3 or 4 that have been sold in sydney for undert 20k

all with 40 , 60 thou k's

also seen a few 05 models with 20,000km's go for around 22 - 23

I just spoke to my good mates at top ten tyres as i have 87H tyres on my car frm them. They said they insurance company has to prove that there was more KG's then the rating on the tyre to deem it unroadworthy

Apartly the load rating is a guide as to what actually comes with the car. After looking through all the rta material i am yet to find anything taht says you have to ahear to it. Only that you have to adhear to the ratings on the tyres. I knwo for a fact that the 87H on my car is fine as i dont have more then the Listed KG's on my car.

This doesnt make sense?

If the sportivo has a tyre with load rating 87V

if you check the load rating chart for tyres. that means you can have 540KGs per tyre.

then why do th eother corollas (Which are lighter then the sportivo) have a load rating of 88v? meaning 560KG's per tyre?

With the v just a speed rating i dotn undertstand hwo the sportivo would have a lower rating then the standard rollas??

any ideas guys?

With my sportivo cat back they just cut the 1zz pipe after the cat then welded a flange.;

The sportivo system was 3 inches to short to reach the cat so i have 2 1/4 inche piping added to the end of the sportivo system so it fit nicly onto the flange of my 1zz cat.

Ive been told by numerous ppl that its far beter to kep the stock cat unles syou hav eaftermarket headers and even then its not worth it on a non turbo ( Not my opinion just those of ppl liek carline etc.)

Anway.

get CAI and add sportivo cat back to your 1ZZ and you'll have a car that will keep up with a stock sportivo 0-100. :)

Here is a Tableof Dennis Stock time ( Quite fast i mite add, Im sure some stock stivos run slower) VS my lastest 15.778 time. (1ZZ with intake and sportivo catback) VS silvas time.

As you can see at 660ft im right there with them, ahead of dennis but not silva. Denis has a higher MPH but you coudl make the assumpion that when i hit 100/km/h in to top of 2nd that i was ahead of him slightly.

Not bad for $170 sportivo cat back and $100 ebay CAI

i know the guys at autotech...

firstly they clients here at work :D

Coool dynlan

Here are the respective site about the dynos in each place

Here is how MRT won a Dyno room of the year award

http://www.mrtrally.com.au/performance/docs/Dyno_story.pdf

OK guys

We have 2 options so far

AutoTech in Grandville

20 cars = $50

That includes food and drink. they say we will get around 3 power runs if all FWD cars.

I have also herd back from MRT performance near Rhodes on homebush bay drive.

They matchded the $50 a pop for 15 - 20 cars. (Unconfirmed about food and drinks) but i do knwo they are really good at what they do.

Both are free most weekends in october november.

It will be held on a saturday or sunday depending on the availability of ppl.

If ppl are genuinly interested i will also invite the mazda boys and astra boys.

Will start officaly organising it all next week.

Cheers

Ok I have one email back from AutoTech in grandville.

http://www.autotechengineering.com.au/index.php

They said we need at least 20 cars.

If we get 20 cars its $50 bucks each and that's including Lunch and drinks.

The mroe cars the cheaper it gets.

Let me knwo what you guys think

-Bill

Yeah that and some tender MWR work :P

Those figures are from the same day with all the parts in the car

The line with the old Power FC tune and the new line with the new tune.

Basically just a dyno showing before and after tune. The car probably didnt even go off the dyno lol

Hey Guys

I know the other states have had a few dyno day in the past and they seem to have heaps of fun.

Was looking at organising something in October possibly at Silverwater.

Please post your interest in this thred. We could have some awards for Highest powered 1zz and 2zz and a most surprising and so forth.

The day would also include a BBQ of sorts. TO get numbers would could invite the Ozmazda and opelaus guys with the mazda 3's and astras.

Anyway let me know what you all think and ill get some pricing and availability down

I knew after u tok me for a cruise last met that there was at least 20kws more bill.

This thing goes and sounds like nothing i've herd. When outside the car u need ear muffs!!!!

Bleh F%^k stage 2 i cant wait for stage 3!!!

If you didnt do the dyno runs the same day then u cannot compare at all.

The dyno is a tuning tool. You can go ther etoday and pull 127kws and tomorrow with same dyno same temprature pull less.

Just how they strap the car down effects the output figure.

The best way to of measured the difference is to have run it down the quarter and then did the mods and run it again.

See what trap speed and time you get. They will give you a mroe accurate reading of how much your mods have changed.

Hope this helps. Ask Dylan (Blue_Stivo) he did what u did and between mods he lost power. But we knwo he didnt in reality.

Bill

Update i just look up the figures

The camry 3.0 actualy has a better power to weight ratio then the 99 vt commo

Commo

power to weight ratio (horsepower:pounds) = 0.056880900771451

Camry

power to weight ratio (horsepower:pounds) = 0.060441939172425

This is from the figures in redbook. Even says 0-100 is faster in the camry??

1999 TOYOTA CAMRY

Engine Code 1MZ-FE

Power 141kW @ 5200rpm

Torque 279Nm @ 4400rpm-4400rpm

Acceleration 0-100Km/h 8.9 secs

Kerb Weight 1419kg

1999 HOLDEN COMMODORE

ECOTEC

Power 147kW @ 5200rpm

Torque 304Nm @ 3600rpm-3600rpm

Acceleration 0-100Km/h 9.3 secs

Kerb Weight 1596kg

I dont knwo what egine it was,

But i drove my dads 99 camry touring and gteched it for quarter mile. I was doing consistant 15.9 16.0

Now ive seen stock v6 commos doing the exact same times at wsid. (Anything vt and older) so for the time i'd say the camry touring was right up there for speed with the vt commo.

Not sure if any of the avalons have the same engine though. Also the camry was 5 speed manual and most commos are auto.

I think if u got the 1MZ-FE with a manaul vs a Vt commo auto the camry will just win.

Cheers

Good stuff Voy

Now for the drags next month. i wanan see wat an auto will do with intake and zorts :P

Was this dyno done on the same day and tied down to the dyno the same way and same force??

Thanks dude

yeah that second one i changed to 4th way to early. wasnt looking at the revs. That was my biggest chance to get a 15.6 goign but the times and launches.

:(

arr well

Some pictures

Me..

Dave and his beast

Soem guys who reads our forum

Ran a 15.5 with TRD intake

ythanks dude yeah just need to match dylans 2.2 60ft and im in the 15.6's. in saying that im 3rd or 4th overall including the stivos in 60ft times so not too shabby.

THe next 3 months you will get at leadt 6 runs as it is heating up a tad and all the pros dont go down as much or they have 2 runs and ***** home.

I got the just before 5 and was 3 car runnign and never stopped in the pits just kept going back into the lines all night.

i think Bil XOOM, wants to head down in 2 or 3 weeks so all u shoudl have a run then tom. Prep those tyres up :P

I actually had 8 runs tonight!!

they are my 6 best with 2 being over 20 sec passes.

I cant beleive my clutch is still holding up fine after 80 thou k's and 3 drag days lol

Heres my 6 slips from tonight minus 1 that i ****** up with and ran a 25 sec hahah

Now we cant say may 15.7 was a fluke

Was having trouble on launch. I cannot honestly say that any of these were a perfect launch as i bogged or spun hard on all of them. But was a fun night and im happy considering i basically matched my time from before. a 15.6 is not out of the question!! The temps were also twice as high as last time o did the 15.77

Note the different trap speeds

quickest run at the top

Just looking at the 1ZZ ladder

thats 5 more runs above the 3rd placed Pete :P and i salso have the highest trap speed!!! woohoo!!! :P I won somthing hahah
