  1. The Supercharger is for the Matrix XR I have lowered my car 2inch so it's sit on the road real tight. ive went both vtir and CRX. The vtir had intake and exhaust. the b18a. Had 17 inch rims and exhaust. But i think his driving sucks cause couldn't change in lift. From the day i got a CAI and high Flow cat. You can feel the mid range torque. The Vtec only catch up when they hit 7000rpms I would like to get a rough gesitmate of how much improvement i'll be getting. A mechanic dude said. I can literally feel the torque with 7.5psi. Also i get a raised redline to almost 7000RPm thus i can keep my first and second gears longer That would also be of great use. One more thing the 1zzfe have low compression rate 10:1 so i guess that would be of benefit. Since supercharging required lower compression? Is that correct. The guy at toyota said he wouldn't know the affect yet. So i guess i'll have to test. Anyone out there Supercharged YET? With results?
  2. That is good news. Has anyone got a copy? In sydney? I can get them burnt.
  3. With the Toyota GPS are the maps preloaded or can you load them from a DVD? do you get the DVD with the Unit? I am pretty interested in getting the pioneer AVIC-N1 Pionner DVD/Sat Nav But it doesn't seem to have Australian maps. I'll go enquire at a car audio shop this week.

    HEY GUYS

    tarago are the best cars. We have the 1999 GLX model and it's great. Is even has a sub/tweeters stock. Climate control but i reckon the new 04 models would be great to drive. The import model is the estima. The turbo model is really nice. It has automatic curtains.
  5. Thanks ozviking. Do you people think it's worth it to get the TRD supercharger for the 1zzfe? It estimates 7.5psi of boost? At the moment my car can keep up with B16a. But i am pretty sure if i get headers i can take it on easily. I can also keep up with B18a. However a sportivo would probably eat me alive 1st-2nd gears. I am just wondering if this supercharger would be of any benefit? Cause TRD estimates 7.4 0-60mph. but i usually drag till 120kpm plus. Seconldy the accerleration times were estimated for a Toyota Matrix, which is 200kg heavier? Would power to weight ratio play any significant factors? On my car now i have replace the steel wheels with Sportivo Alloys, thus lowering weight, and have replace cat and exhaust. Maybe another 4kgs? I reckon my car kerb weight is just over 1000kgs.
  6. I've seen a new pioneer system jusT the thing i am looking for. but it's 2k US and i don't know if they have Australia Maps yet? Cause i know there is a big deal about maps. maybe someone who has the maps from the the toyota DVD system can share it around? Are the maps preloaded into the ram or you have to run it from disc? If they are stored into, i guess we could all share.
  7. would you know the name of the brandthat you saw xtiger? I've seen some called Navman N6301 or something it looks alright i could put it in the spare compartement.
  8. There aren't any nice rotors out for the car yet. It's a bummer. I've contacted DBA but they go it will come out later this year or so. However i've seen Civics with Type R brakes on it. He must have changed it somehow. And his civic wasn't the type R one. Anyways i guess i'll just wait till TRD japan update their site. It's last entry was 2003 August or something. Anyone here speak Japanese?
  9. Is there anyway of converting our stud pattern from 4x100 to 5x100?
  10. Hi is there anyway of making a GPS system? I have thought of 2 systems. 1 is through a laptop with a UBS reciever, then i would need to buy maps? 2 buying a small display mouting it and buying a GPS reciever to connect it. but i don't know any standalone systems like this? Does anyone have any ideas?
  11. Hi has anyone got the toyota factory gps installed? Is it single din or double din? Is it just GPS or can it play DVD/CD?
  12. Hi all, i've been searching for a good quality brake system for the new corolla and haven't seen to find anything at all, Only the TRD ones for the celica or Matrix.
  13. I am just wondering. Can you mount a front mount intercooler for a Supercharged system? How do you run more boost?
  14. Yeah that site is nice. Can you get through Australia? I know that there is place called C-One in Japan, but they have no email or english.
  15. Hi again, been reading some post lately, but i can't seem to get any link on buying TRD parts in Sydney. Beside Penrith Toyota. Is there any Dedicated TRD specialist in Sydney that can import certain parts thats i see in the TRD parts catalogue.. Thanks again.
  16. Hey are you guys in Sydney? Just wondering if i can come along?
  17. dam i just missed out when is the next sydney Rolla meet? I want to see how i go against some of your 2zzfe.
  18. Thanks for the info fellas, Yeah i got a CAI, and exhaust already. It goes alright now, yeah ohh wells the Nos idea is no good thanks for the help all. Any rollas in sydney? meet up?
  19. What is is Xorst? Headers yeah i'll get them soon. Yeah i just want that extra boost when i go a car i don't like. 50Hp-125Hp is not bad, cause i weigh up the gains for the money, The unichip is going to cost 1200 plus installation.
  20. Hi anyone know anything about the NOS kit? I was considering because the kit seems to cost around 1300 so it would be the best bang for you bucks? is it effective? Should i put one in my 1zzfe rolla?
