  1. have to say, Superdave's sig is the best one i've seen in months... Summer Heights High FTW!!!!! D1ck-tation FTW!!!
  2. launching ok yes thats true... but gear shifting? dam its gonna be the next olympic sport the way people on here go on about it!!! its really not that hard to change gears, i dont see why people go on and on like it is the b all and end all of racing.
  3. also... how far out of lift are you landing???? when i miss-shift it lands about 5700/5800rpm. if rev limit current is 8200, and lift is 6000rpm, and you think it'll need to go to 10000rpm to let you land, by my maths that means your changing into second and landing at.... 4200rpm Thats where you should launch from!
  4. its technically* impossible to land a 1-2 change in lift in a stock corolla sportivo because of the gear ratios. You can however land it if you slip the clutch slightly and get on the throttle while the clutch is still in. as punkrolla said, this takes practice you will get used to it. The car came like that because toyota put 16" wheels on it. they really wanted 17" wheels but this would have made the problem worse. options for removing the torque hole.... i'll start with cheapest and work my way up. 1. CAI - helps, but doesnt solve the problem. more useful for top end. $300 - $400 2. Buy some 15" wheels and smaller tyres, will shorten the gear ratio's for you. However, speedo will be out completely, and the car wont look to good. $500-800 3. 2.5" exhaust system (see forum sponsor CES) also helps more than the CAI, and more in conjunction with CAI, but still wont solve your problem completely. $900ish new or cheaper if u can find one second hand 4. Power FC - with the PFC you can tune the car so that the high cam comes on lower (usually about 5700/5800 is optimal), but i wouldnt up the rev limiter as you can say bye bye valve train or worse engine block if your not careful. $1500 - 2000 incl tuning 5. Short ratio gearbox - speak with Meridan Motorsport (VIC) or Monkey Wrench Racing in the US. $$$$$$ 6. Stroking to 2ltr - will solve the problem, but... $$$$$$ 7. Forced induction - Problem solved ;) but... $$$$$$ Your choice mate ;) * No Flaming allowed because its true
  5. or if you really want to see which car is faster and which driver is better, go to the racetrack. Straight line racing proves nothing when it comes to skill
  6. only the hatch is coming here thus far... I'm holding out for the sedan. if it does..... :( might have to say bye toyota :(
  7. anytime ;) with the nitrous thing, sure it will probably increase power, but you just wouldnt do that.
  8. wow... No. ecu is usually under the dash. airbox mod, wait til a prefab CAI is released from one of the big companies (Injen, AEM, TRD, CES) and for your last question again.... No.
  9. Wow what area do u live in? 5k is ridiculous, either you have a shocking driving record or something funny is going on. Also, having your name on the rego papers is NOT title to the ownership of your car, therefore the insurance company shouldnt care who's name the car is registered in. They just 'recommend' that the same name is on both pieces of paper. if you transfer the rego to your parents you will have to sell them the car, plus pay stamp duty. Bad idea.

    Bad company logo's

    hahaha simo i didnt take one!!! you or micky C have to send it to me, and it'll be up there promise
  11. Was watching the Japanese Moto GP today... wooooo go Casey Stoner, 1st Aussie GP World Champ since the great Mick Doohan!! Anyways, was watching the presentation and the company sponsoring the Japanese GP was A-Style. From what i can tell they are an Italian company selling clothing and motobike equipment ie Helmets etc. Seems like it either is run by, or they just have a big sponsorship with Lionel Messi (Spanish Soccer Player) I reckon they could have chosen a much better logo for their company, but anyways....
  12. hahah that was my first thought to. Poor fella he's just on his way to work and people are taking pics of him!!!
  13. How bout we just say don't street race at all. People that race on the street need to pull their heads in and grow up.

    Footy Finals 2007

    i take my hat off to the Geelong fellas Brandon... i'm sitting on the edge of my seat at home with me jersey and scarf and biting im nails the whole time!! Shoulda seen me, after Medhurst kicked the goal to put us within 5 points, and the last centre bounce went out way and then Geelong got tackled on the 50m line down Collingwoods end before the siren went, i'm jumping up and down screaming "Holding the Ball!! Thats a Penalty!!! COME ON!!!" Clearly, it was definately not holding the ball but i knew a penalty would be the only thing to get us over the line cos the clock beat us!!! i reckon we had the next goal in us anyway!!! ah well, we got one of the youngest teams, there's always next year. Be interesting to see which way Chris Judd jumps... if he's interested in the Pies, i wanna know what the deal they will crack is. Cos if they offer Pendlebury, Thomas or Didak i will cry!

Unbeatable. Its interesting to note that in the finals this year are: 1. The favourites 2. Teams 1 and 2 and end of season 3. Teams that had a week off Doesnt usually happen that way!
