  1. My car has a heart and soul!!! There are love heart stickers on the rear window.
  2. Nope didn't miss too much we were playing with an android head unit and played with some TRD brakes
  3. 2 mysterious boxes of goodies arrived today.

  4. I dont get it, if you didn't believe in it, why did you tell someone else to look into it?
  5. Did you remove the rear splash guards? Just be careful in the rain if you did because it will be scarey when you first apply the brakes! To fix it you need to have slotted or need to slot the rotors.
  6. I am running the supra tt rotors with the twin piston brakes from the previous Camry v6 calipers. On stock brakes it fades so easily. And as I say our Camry do not use the rear brakes at all.
  7. I have done a lot of research in this areas, in summary, in some scenario, large rotor might stops longer due to brake bias imbalance. Brake balance is an such important factor to be considered, unfortunately, it is very hard to adjust, even with bigger front rotor, the braking distance actually increase..The first link below shows braking distance increase in a Honda DC5 after changing to a large front rotor I won't go for larger rotor because if you study the brake mechanism (http://www.myturbodi...c/brake/PF3.jpg), master cyclinder is not designed for that. changing the rotor will just imbalnce the braking equation I recommend you read the following articles. I have cleared up a lot of misconception about braking http://www.sportcomp...tech/index.html - case where a well designed big brake kit on a modified car resulted in worse braking http://www.zeckhause...kes.htm#Summary - test result on different size rotors, increasing the rotor size by 28mm will result in decreasing braking distance by 5 feet from 100mph to 0 http://www.myturbodi...q/brake_FAQ.htm Ahh yes but you are talking about a single application of the brakes. Now if you were going on a mountain run, your little rotors will struggle while the bigger rotor will be able to absorb a lot more heat and thus delaying or avoiding the fade issue. And the other thing, with gen4 camrys, it doesnt use the rears anyways. The car had done 70k and the rear pads were like 75% still... Yes I have upgraded brakes and yes they do make a difference.
  8. LOL i need it adjusted so the bite point is at the bottom! It is now right at the top after I fixed what 999 didn't do when they did the 5sp swap
  9. I'm out. Or does that mean I'm in? LOL But i require some mechanics skills to adjust the clutch pedal.
  10. Sigh! This will be the second item that we are going to buy and hopefully get cheap but has turned up in here.
  11. Oh by the way stu/dee, and ash you missed out on the first "boost standing" meet yesterday.
  12. But you get noise so that's instant gains!
  13. I think D was asking about the stock camry one that you have being restrictive. Pretty sure the most restrictive part of the intake is the air filter...
  14. Umm a good alignment is always at the $80 mark. Spring compressors so you dont lose a thumb = $?
  15. Mine?? Yup, I'm pretty sure I was sitting beside you along the Bruce Highway heading North near the Murrumba Downs one afternoon, possibly last week from memory, I wasn't in the car in my sig. See you tomorrow then :D You guys didn't even stop to say hi.
  16. lol 10-15k. You'll have to double that to get anywhere near that camry. That camry did more than just keeping up with the gtr, it wasted it lol.
  17. In case the pm got lost, just chasing the front caliper / bracket and the lines. Rears will not fit as the hand brake set up is completely different.
  18. + supercharger then it may be interesting.
