  1. oil catch can? cool !!!
  2. octane booster give you no performance increase (dyno proven on a FTO I read a long time ago) if your engine does not support it, putting 98 in our car which is designed for 91 is usless, except for cleaning the engine. My car has been tuned to use 98, but guess how many kw I gain, 3kw at peak Unless your engine is desiged for checking the octane level (such as the golf gti), no performance increase at all, the following 2 videos say it.. actually using octane booster will drop power by 2% before reset the ecu, make sure you know your audio security code, disconnect the battery for 20 minutes, reset the audio security code I don't know why your exhaust will take away any torque, no torque should be lost across the whole rpm range Read the following, it includes torque graph as well http://www.importtun...10_mazda_3_atx/ Our car should yield similar result, if you are losing torque, there might be leaking in your exhaust
  3. another 40page+ pictures http://www.toyotaownersclub.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=88961&st=0
  4. use this http://www.torquesta...?pid=calculator exhaust will have only 4kw increase at the wheel If you want to be faster, use a light wheel, 16 or 17.. wheel does make http://www.caranddri...nd-tires-tested Take off all your seat, and use 1/4 of fuel, they should make another 0.1 or 0.2 Shifting from 2nd to 3rd lost so much time, keep practising it For the exhaust , another memeber has done a dyno before and after a cat back (dutchie101), no evidence to prove that the torque has been lost
  5. excellent, my 2 cents about brake http://www.myturbodi...q/brake_FAQ.htm http://www.raceshopper.com/tech.shtml http://www.zeckhausen.com/Testing_Brakes.htm My next rotor is plain as well as the slotted one does not seem to have performance improvement, eating my pads and more expensive, thus the above article also recommened it
  6. btcc has a toyota avensis, it is a turbo 2.0 3zr-fe i think http://www.touringcartimes.com/article.php?id=5382
  7. I guess it will fit LHD, the bar is the same between left and right
  8. I am looking for that white rear struct brace, I don't speak German, so I cannot order..Can you point me to the correct web site? Serb, if you don't mind please help, because you speak German
  9. I like it, very clean, there are some rust in the engine bay.. if u don't mind you polish you engine to look good. Pod filter is dirty as well, please clean it. Please also chrome the bumper to make it shinny, I also would want to put back some badge at the back I like classic car to have chrome everywhere
  10. sound nice !!! I should take photo with u since we have white wheels !!!
  11. time to winton to set some lap time
  12. what did you do to wax your car? red car , after waxing, looks really shinny
  13. no cost at all, if they charge you cost, then it is not comparison rate.. Comparison rate includes all fees and cost NO FEES SHOULD BE CHARGED
  14. it is by law in nsw that when you have a mortgage (house or car) to have comparison rate listed. Bank like to charge fees to deceive people. Comparsion rate is the real interest rate including all the fees
  15. defintely not relate to engine, otherwise CEL will throw I think some sensors is broken. Toyota should be able to diagnoise, they are just being lazy I got a OBD2 reader, but it only read CEL, which is not your case
  16. we have a brand new AE92 !!! How much you did the paint job for the whole car?
  17. Got a wireless orbit sander to do waxing for $50 (excluding battery), combing with tech wax, result is quite promising ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------- I am trying to lower the back of the car, but without succeded, probably have to see John's car (junvenille)to see how he set up (we are using pedders coilover). I might need a spring compressor to adjust the height of the spring --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Went to eastern creek yesterday, now is called Sydney Motorsport Park, trying the new layout.. Speedometer hits 182km/h on the main straight on 5th gear, my GPS shows 178km/h. My GPS shows measures the speed betwen 2 points in a straight line between each second, so it is only accruate on straight line The speed is so high that the wind has popped the front bumper off a bit a few times (I was missing one screw on the side of the bumper) First corner, the speedometer is 160-170km/h I push quite hard to get two 2:26...It is my first time on the dry, so I am happy.. The video has 2 clean laps followed some traffic, that green mercedes is a C43 V8 engine, I can still keep on, so it is good enough. He used Toyo R888 as well I have practised in computer game (rfactor) many times (old layout) before going there, the braking point, technique are very close The first left haripin is not easy, it is a double apex, I practised in computer game for a while in order to get it right (below is not my driving, but showing a good racing line) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qt9f_seQpug
  18. looks really cool,,, give me a feel of space ship, very unique design Those little silver dots around the wheels make me think of LED or diamond
