Do you know Mikey Tran pnyk33? I imagine this would make you guys rather nervous. Sad to see they are handling it this way.

William, mate, simply buy an Altezza with a beams black top in it. No hassle for p platers, and it can do this:

People are still Rick Rolling? Man that's sad. Though the drifting at the beginning was pretty sweet.

Or you could just learn to drive the car for what it is. I'm so sick of Lift Fanbois. There's also issues with oil pressure having the hi-cam point set that low I'm sure.

That was directed towards the OP btw BKS, not you obviously.

Lol, landing in lift. Its when you redline 1st gear and shift so fast, that when you slam it into 2nd, and drop the clutch, the revs are sitting in the Lift range.

All that = wheelspin and abit of a faster straight line time.

So you're wheelspinning, which is losing traction, yet you can still go faster somehow?

The ideal shift point from 1st to 2nd is 7,600 / 7,800 rpm. You land below the lift range yes, however the torque at 5,600 / 5,800 rpm pushes the car faster, and you end up in the hi-cam range without noticing anything.

This was advice given by someone who actually races 2zz's.

haha if you see my street you'd know why i speed down it :) its a freaking 50 zone, quiet, long, not even busy with people or nearby schools as such so hey why not :) dont sit there pretending your such a saint - the fact that you drive a sportivo may even mean something or your little "got lift" oh buddy your like so innocent aye, you've never sped in your whole life

its kinda hilarious the way people stereotype me as the person to talk lyk dish hehe keke bubble tea ? suck my d!ck

I always thought a good comeback started with actually reading the posts you were coming back to?

A saint? Hardly. Can you show me where I said that I never speed? Can you show me where I said I was innocent? I made no such point, the point I made is that your posts make you look/sound like an idiot, and that is no-one's fault but yours. Might be best to actually read my posts before trying to think of a comeback, you'd be amazed at the difference a little research makes.

I stand by my comment that 100k+ in a 50 zone is lunacy, I don't care what your street looks like, but I'm sure it looks better without your sportivo wrapped around a tree/pole/child somewhere along it. What makes it even more stupid is that your bragging about it on a public forum.

"Got Lift" on my avatar is a dead giveaway, your right, the Corolla in that pic was doing about 200kph just before that photo was taken . . . Gran Turismo 4's Photo feature and the Nurburgring are great fun, but nice try all the same . . . ;)

Once again people, I don't give a toss what you all do behind the wheel of your cars, but bragging about it on a public forum?

Anything else? No? kthxbai.

Update:

Constable Plod came knocking. He's looking at jail time.

Speeding is bad mmkay?

Good day all.

I will admit the braking department has taken a bit of an interest with me of late. Not looking to go bigger, but moreso, some slotted rotors and better pads maybe. I don't know though, have to do more research (which is why I clicked this thread while passing through). Cheers Bill (the intake / ITG filter is still going btw and untouched. It's worth it's weight in gold. Best mod on the car haha).

Unfortunately this brake kit is D2, and if I've learnt anything, I'm never touching anything with D2 on it ever again. Especially when it's something that keeps you from dying, like brakes or suspension.

not that stupid to speed on highways, but when it comes to quiter streets 5-10kms wont hurt to get home quicker - lols mind you i usually end up doing 100+ down my street - only because its long and straight :)

Confirmation in writing that your more of an idiot that previously thought. From what I have heard, you would have trouble driving your thumb into your posterior . . . let alone controlling a car at 100kph+ on a backstreet . . . You obviously haven't had any issues with dental floss just yet . . .

I cnt wayt tyl yew smsh me 4 ths pst . . . eyem lking fwd 2 eet.

suck my d!ck

This actually explains a lot. Now I know who the star in meatspin was.

(once you go turbo you never go back :P)

I went back. I'll take the blacktop of your hands then if you want :P

Bill, you're comparing apples to oranges.

I'm happy to take you on at wakefield. 5 laps in my car and 5 laps in yours each. Fastest aggregate wins.

Clyde Mountain Touge?

That was great mate. I hardly come on here anymore, but that made my day. I know where to go for a holiday myself now.

Cheers again.

I dont get it....

Initial D is a series revolving around Downhill, Uphill and Time attack street racing in Japan. It focuses on one Fujiwara Takumi, who drives an AE86 Trueno (2 door lift back rwd Corolla, started out with a 4AGE 16v motor, and was later replaced with a 240hp Group A 4AG 20v Silvertop).

You own a Corolla, so it's inexcusible for you to not know of this series. Go and watch it Simo. I also don't care if you dislike Japanese animation, you are to watch it anyway haha.

we'll let the numbers and $$$ do the talking next year

I challenge you to downhill.

When someone said, quote "Owf is the new ZZE based forum. Tocau is the ZZEmo forum." I became a teeny bit frustrated at the childishness of the remark. Then I laughed.

The next day when I had stopped laughing, I remembered the good old times of Tocau. I will always have them. No one can ever take that away from me. If it weren't for Tocau I wouldn't have met great friends (Micky, Jimmy, Simo, Micky C, Leroy, Bazza the CES mascot, who was last spotted climbing out of Bill's car at WSID and nicking bottles of NOS), and I also wouldn't have had the opportunity to have online barnies with people, because let's face it, online barnies are fun.

With probing love, you know who you all are *rubs nipples*

Nelson

yeah how is the ride with lowered springs? does it feel stiff? bumpy? like your driving a truck? or does it still feel normal like with the stock suspension?

I'm using stock 1zz shocks with King Lows... it doesnt improve the ride quality, put it what way .

Bumps definitely feel worse - but I'm certain you would be more than happy if you also put in Koni's or similar.

As for Kings vs Lovells... I know nothing about the quality of Lovell's. But after speaking to badboyz (a former member of this forum) recently, he said for Lovell's he wanted in the rear (a bit lower than Superlows) it was going to cost him nigh on 500!!

At that price, I'd just be waiting for some second hand King's or Whiteline's to come up in the Buy and Sell section.

I'm supposed to be dead, but well, call me Zombie Nelson.

I'll expand more on the above:

Lovells superlows are 5 - 10mm lower (give or take) than kings. I have Koni Yellow's in my car, although I forgot to tell toperformance to reset the circlip height (ie: the springseat height) 25mm lower.

This resulted in the rear, albeit sitting on superlows, to sit up 25mm more at the back. In short, it looks like a demon wedge from hell (and kind of lame). I 'was' going to order in custom lovell's for the rear 25mm lower with a higher spring rate, but as Leroy stated, it was $500 (I guess you could call them Super Super Low's). The circlip on the shock is now being machined 25mm lower locally.

Lovell's and kings are a much of a muchness. They're the same I'd say. Lovell's SL seem to drop the car even more though, so I'd recommend them only if you were also swapping out the shocks for something that has enchanced stroke (in fact, i'd probably be tempted to throw kings sl in the front to bring mine up a bit more, but it looks so 'time-attack' at the moment that I just can't!)

Thought I'd quickly pop this up in regards to the Koni's, as there is confusion around the rears in them at times from what I've seen.

The Koni's are unreal btw. Best thing I've done to the car.

Lucky for you the Best Motoring boys, in an episode of Hot Version, did a tyre test on the MX-5. The results are as below (left out lap 1 as it was a standing start);

Bridgstone Potenza RE11

Dunlop Direzza Sports Z1*Spec

Yokohama Neova AD07

Toyo Proxes R1R

Any of those top 3 tyres would be a good choice, the Toyo's look very inconsistant. If they are even available in Australia (or Tirerack ;)) I'd buy on price.

The winner was the RE11 as it was the most consistent, and only just, had the fastest lap time.

Dave,

Which track did they perform the tests on? Just curious.

Cheers

He means the RE-11, http://www.bridgestone.co.jp/info/news/2007121901.html

Not listed on the Australian site yet, but you can see the tyre it's replacing in the motorsport section, the RE-01R:

http://www.bridgestone.com.au/tyres/motors...cing_tyres.aspx

You can see on that page that the RRP for the 245/35/19 RE-01R is $530ea.

Cheers Jase.

nellie has to come too

I like this plan.

Yes, I'm Dead. I'm done with Tocau and have focused more on clubs down south now.

However, someone told me to look at this thread today, and I'm not really suprised.

I dont think Seano was owned... Mrs Sportivo doesnt have enough credibility to own anyone

Qkslvr thats the worst thing I have ever heard, and last week someone at work had the ham stolen out of there ham salad sandwhich when it was in the fridge.... but unfortunately there are many people out there who are a poor excuse for a human being *cough* Mrs Sportivo *cough*

im sorry who are you again ? do i know you ?

i could have sworen ive only seen you on the toyota forums

so poor excuse for a human being ? LOL thats funny, cos i dont recall actually talking to you or meeting you ? mms LOL ?

1. If you have nothing nice to say, then simply don't say it. Anthony just had part of his bike torn off, you bold little turd.

2. Micky is a moderator you idiot. By all means have a go at him an belittle him. You think you'd learn from the time Northy banned you. You have the memory of a goldfish, "Mmmmm flame wars! *Flame Flame Flame* -BANNED- Where was I? Oh yeah! Flaming! *Flame Flame Flame* -BANNED- Now wh...OH YEAH! *Flame Flame Flame*" etc etc etc.

3. It's nice to see you haven't changed as you said you would. You should have never been allowed back on here. It's a privilege to be on these forums, and of late, it's people like you who have sent the standards of tocau through the floor to the proverbial sewer.

You are the catalyst. I don't really care what you have to say either, because I already know what your response is going to be like:

"ER lolzolzolzolzolz sukadik n'gifuked you kent" and so forth. You're too predictable these days...

...somewhat like a goldfish.

Just wandering, what does CES CAI has the TRD CAI doesn't? There is an increase in KWs so just makes me curious.

Larger diameter

yerh my friend once had it on his car a while back now and he started his car up next to mine on a cold day and walked out to let it warm up and it stalled infront of us lool i think tooo much air was going in or somthing like that but it was pretty funny just chocked and died lol but was fine after just sharing stories =P

It's basically the same pipe dude. The larger diameter wouldn't increase the airflow that much to stall it I think. Hmm. I'd say his maf sensor was a bit grubby?

errr nope. CES is slightly bigger, and yes my car wants to stall when its cold, but only when I'm on the throttle slightly and its freezing cold. Its never stopped by itself.

Stoopid noobzor. Yew shood lrn 2 read n look into wot people write moar proper kekekekekekekeke lulz.

Mine's never stalled either dude, and our climate here is far colder to that of Melbourne. Do you have the CES intake on there now?

edit: Yes, I'm a d!ck and I should elaborate more on what I say in the future. Mmhmm.

what da hells going on... first of all it wasent in my car and second of all it did stall and like i said b4 it was freaking cold trust me it wasnt in the western suburbs it was in the country side area lilydale early morning but probly like u said micky it was cold only and it wanted to stall execpt this one did stall lol but yerh and rob ur lost man... o_O"

I was responding to Mick man. I agree with you Steve. /manlove your way

Oh yes, I was being serious about this by the way.

We can organise dinner with Nelson and the swinsuit competition on the same night

Melodysky Equation? You have any leads for me?

Member of the Year?

12 finalists?

Swimsuit competition? (Tayles and Superdave...gigiddy)

Free silver membership and sticker / shirts or something? Dinner with Nelson?

i use Potenza SO-3 "pole position" -amazing grip and really stiff sidewall - made a bigger improvement than the Eibach springs i fitted and they last well. Did you get them 5hite Turanza's fitted as stock on yours?

I reakon the Turanzas are not bad. Had it in my previous car. Grip like hell .........

They're a quiet tyre, yet have a hard compound that somehow wear out very fast. Not a fan myself :(
