Jess, told me a while to dig you up in the forum, nice to race with you. really interested in what you put in your car Also, your member's ride is not really up to date with what I have seen. eg I did not see your rear sway bar anymore You are using unchip now and using TRD struct brace Also, as you suggest, I went to register for toymod forum. However, not many ZRE owners there.. and it asked me for real living address.. oh, that is something I do not want to give away.. I am a IT guy, i know how bad many web sites in securing our information I am very interested in your RDA rotors, where do you get it from? There is tiny smoke coming out from my front disc after racing due to overheating...

loves those LED if i have those on my car, wow John, where do you dig those pictures from? Looks like some photoshop effect

your exhaust is almost made the same noise as my one, where do you get it done? Also, i love your wheels and nuts My nuts are red as well Also, did you spray red colour to your brake?

John, is this horn louder? Just remind me last time I watch police inspecting the horn of a car, that horn just makes the crowd laughing something like this

I type the url found in the rear bumper for that red hot facelift and found this http://www.garage-gobeli.ch/ Also found this http://www.bemani.ch/Toyota_Auris_K.htm 240ps for auris, wow don't let me meet you on the track or I will smoke you out...LOL

How can I find out whether they fit with ZRE? I know it is not for ZRE... if they fit, then I will buy one. I am worried about the rubber brake lines in the brakes will melt after tracking I saw tiny smoke coming out from my brakes after tracking

omg

Should we send all exchange our phone number with Pete? In case people don't know where we are, or coming late or whats o ever For me, I am not even confident to find the place, and I will be coming from blue mountain on that day and might be slightly late. I do need to tell Pete that I am late if I do.. It just makes life easier rather than people trying to find out where they are and I only recognize a few faces from people here, not everyone I know

John's car is always as new as it looks and I love his TTE spolier as well

Yes PB, found this spreadsheet driven by V8 supercar driver Warren Luff https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=tADXtWYMAmoUeQu0VP6yGKQ#gid=0 Not sure whether the car is in stock Aurion - 16.11 (this is good news) Golf GT - 1:15.29 Civic Type R - 1:14.49 Mazda 2 - 1:19.2 (wow) so mine is 1:17.7, really quite competitive if I compare to the top drivers lap time I am quite sure i have pushed the car to the very limit, based on my computer game experience. unless i fix the understeer, i cannot go faster disconnect the factory ECU near the fuse box, and connect the unchip harness to it, gurantee even a dumb can do it, bloody simple. if you interested, i can give it to u, it is useless to me I got all the ECU mapping for it

no one here want to sum it up.. After i sum it up last time, i am unhappy

just track day with another dude with a 2007 ZRE, unichip does work on his car, not my car

You just do the spacing right, not too much, not too less Can I ask you your what is your current wheel offset? The bloody rain this week just crazy, have to be very careful about the CAI. Too much water pool on the road

if u got intake + header + catback, it will adjust the ecu to take advantage of the mods, mostly the air to fuel ratio and ignition timing, 3-5kw increase is expected from the wheels.. It also adjust the engine to use 98 petrol They are useless on stock engine it is a plug and play device, installation time is 10 minutes It is not working on my car, proves to work in 2007 ZRE

New track record (PB) : 1:17.7 , 2.4 seconds faster than my last track day http://www.natsoft.com.au/cgi-bin/results.cgi?23/07/2011.WAKE.S3.Y This is on my RE002 tires, not semi-slicks As a guideline for laptimes by top driver here https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=tADXtWYMAmoUeQu0VP6yGKQ#gid=0 , mine is very competitive Warren Luff is a famous Australian racing driver I am only 2.5 seconds off from a Golf GTI driven by him, so it is really rewarding My average time is around top 1:17 to 1:18.5 Also saw another member (Jesse Attwell) driving a 2007 black ZRE152 sedan on 1:18 He got unchip on his car, Enkei RPF1, header, intake, exhaust.. need to find his name here Can anyone help to dig this guy out His unichip is ordered from US as well, same as my one, but it works on his car, not my car I have ordered unichip before, that means it only works with the old ZRE.. WTF toyota has changed to the ECU... I could not go any faster (I am sure I am on the limit) unless I add a rear sway bar, the car is understeered now after adding a struct brace.. My light weight wheel is on the way now, this should take 0.5 seconds off from the record Also, I do often stuck in changing from 2 to 3 gear, or 3 to 2 gear... there is no short shift for ZRE.. changing gear in high G force is not easy.. I have one occassion I changed from 2 to 5 instead of 2 to 3 Struct brace reduce a lot of front body roll compare to my last track day Track temperature is very cold and after the bloody rain, the track was slippery in the morning, otherwise faster time This is my second time to track day only.. It proves to me that computer games help 80% to put up a very good lap times Photos will be uploaded later I also got caught speeding by the police when going to Wakefield this morning, $375 4 dermit points.. i only have 3 points left now, I have to be very careful now

I plan to keep the car for at least 5 to 10 years Toyota Corolla is reliable. I do not trust the reliability of turbo cars Many of the mods I did are very basic, brakes, tires, CAI, rims... no matter what I car I bought, I have to do the same mod list. especially if I track the car. At least the mod for ZRE is cheaper than a Mazda MPS I am sure if I get a MPS or a Golf GTI, the mods are even more expensive Although my mod is $7500, but I own a Ascent, which costs 22K, which adds up to $32K, not that bad I have been always reluctant to buy a top model My favourite car is Honda Type R FD2 (only sold in Japan), light weight, no turbo, good handling

thinking about it is hard... too much $$ labour included Total $7500 oh my god, why I do spend on it (arrange in the order of time) 2 inch Catback $800 Injen CAI - $800 (i know it is rip off) Peddars Coilover $2000 WeaponsR Header, $500 NST Pulley $200 QFM A1RM Brake Pads $500 Bridgetone RE002 205/55 R16 $800 Cusco Front Struct brace $400 Phillips Crystal vision 4300K $200 CatCo Catalytic Converter $500 Rota RSpec wheels $800

even hotter than the TRD ones, wow

Since this is a stupid thread, I consider myself as stupid and can I ask the following 1. Changing to sport pedal seems to be very hard? any ideas? 2. I overfill the engine oil by 1cm above the dip stick FULL level mark? any problems?3 3. When changing engine oil, which level should refill up to? 4. Toyota manual says engine oil consumption can up to 1L/1000 KM, this is scary, as I only got 4L in the engine 5. Do you guys top up engine oil and how often?

saw your BABY ON BOARD sign, just out of curiosity, you have a baby ? so you have to drive slowly and cannot go to track day that often?

SHOULDA JUST GOT A LEVIN??????????????? lol didn't have the dosh! ~$30-35K for brand new facelift Levin ZR :/ with that money, i can get a Ford XR5 turbo, or get a Aurion, or get a Mazda sp25 Why waste money on a Corolla...

Have you removed the rensonator? the factory exhaust is still decent condition, not that much of rust..the new exhaust welding point looks good No wonder why the factory cat blocks air flow, the honey comb inside the cat is so dense I am always bit scary under the car, even knowing that it is safe with jack stand

You only go 2 times per year, so does not really matter. I plan to do it every month Brake fluid => 2 years due to moisture Power steering, no idea Radiator coolant=> I top up every 6 months due to evaporation. I need to check my service manual when to change

custom wiring might be required for unichip

For anyone here you don't know, Sydney has a meet at 30/7 sat 6:30 near stratfield fr steak and photo shoot Please click below for details
