VVTLiR

oh i c what u mean,so its 141 at the engine and by the time it gets to the wheels its around 100 to 110.

if im getting the right message from you ?? lol

magic

yup

Theyd definelty be around 141kw at the engine, you wont really find a stock car doing the same kw at the fly as at the wheels. 30% of power is usally lost from the drivetrain.

This is mine

103.3kw stock

108.4 intake

115.3 intake and muffler

105.5 intake and muffler different dyno day (wtf)

111.6. intake only

110.7 back to stock

So i'd say average mine makes aroung 108Kw at the wheels, which is around a 23% loss through the drivtrain.

I dont know maybe make your own assesment, i reckon its just diffent dynos, temp and maybe fuel (although i always use bp ultimate). The car does feel faster moded, so i'd just say the peak doesnt really change too much.

I have have had a few differnt readings when dynod, stock then modified. The peak power changed everytime. So i wasn't convinced that i was gettign higher peak power readings (i.e. higher than stock, lower than stock, same as stock, seemed to be a +-5kw difference). As i understand other have had this happen too. So I just put it down to the dyno and air temp giving me higher and lower peak readings at the time dynoed. Although the car does feel more powerful, so i put it down to midrange power.

Generally varies from about 100-110kw at wheels stock. Mods (intake, exaust, headers, ecu) dont generally increse the peak power but do make up power everywhere else.

my tyres where noisy when mew, but after 5k they became quiet.

I had a 90mm drop with 18x7.5, they scrubbed on the front inner plastic guards on bumps and on the rear inner gaurds around corners. 18x7 (with the same tyres and same ride height) gets no scrubing at all.

last week i had to get a new battery and new terminal clips from toyota. i had to return to the dealer because both parts did not fit. the battery was too tall and the clips wrong size. you would think something simple and pretty standard toyota would get right.

the staff said they have trouble because of differing origins either japan or south africa. he also said SA is closed now because of problems. their experience was that turmoil in the country caused local staffing issues. they would train and skill them but they would get killed or die of spreading diseases.

I think im going to demostos my car now, hope it doesnt have aids.

VW and BMW are both SA, do they have the same probs or they import their own staff from germany.

are u getting insurance quotes cuz this confused me too

try get 18x7

TRD, AEM and Injen are fine. I would avoid the others.

Sorry to hear about this. Guess it's a case of being at the wrong place wrong time.

:(

What are the chances of it being a write off ie. not knowing the extent of damage, bent chassis etc...

Nah not a write off, mushed bumper, hatch and boot floor. Im not sure where my numberplate went. The lights are fine except for slight marks.

its on the 9th gen forums and its a downloadable zip file with pdfs.

I just bought a rear skirt, so thats buggered too. Damn only if it happend 2 weeks ago.

My Stivo rear ended this weekend. Got hit by an L plater in a 4wd. Her car looks fine, mine is destroyed. I can still drive it, but its all smashed up. Can any1 recommend a good repairer in Melbs eastern suburbs?

will post pics soon.

hey guys i have the same problem, how was this problem resolved ? and is it still safe to drive ?

I dunno what the problem was. Just take em out pull em apart them put em back in. I figure I just hadn't tightened something, cuz the noise has completely gone now.

Dont worry about it!!!!!!!!!!!!! It should be fine, just dont drive into a lake.

Nah mate lotus elise s runs the 1zzfe engine same from the corolla 70k.

The lotus exige s runs the 2zzge supercharged engine from the celica and retails at 115k.

learn to do your research better...

Elise 111s is a 1ZZ-FE yes... BUT

Elise 111r is a 2ZZ-GE

Exige is a 2ZZ-GE with a hard top

Exige 240R is a 2ZZ-GZE (ie supercharged)

These Exige S also runs the charger.

the cost of the skirt and the labour for modifying just doenst make it worth it.

However, since it is ABS plastic and not fibreglass, it makes remoulding alot more difficult.

What is remolding exactly?

cutiing the wheels arch section back then moulding a new section to fit it on the inside of the arch so it looks like its meant to be that way instead of just a hack cut. You can usally do work like that using fibrglas with no probs.

7 inch is perfect for the stivo plus legal. 7.5 fit but is a bit wide and usaually sticks out of the rim.

Does anyone have a sound clip of the ces exhuast?

the only clip i have of a ces on a corolla .... the first car has the CES the 2nd car is stock

i can "chirp" into second and i only have a 1zz...

So it must be possible in a tivo, yeah?

i believe he was refering to chirping the tyres when changing from 1st into 2nd .... and yes most certainly a stock stivo should b able to do this .....

with regards to the other part ..... yes ur gonna need a lot more power to spin the wheels simply by coming on lift ..... trust me i know

Yeah Xoom thats what i was thinking as well, the only way the wheels will spin is when lift engages in the wet. Bang bang Bang .... :P :P :P

If you can drive, a 1-2 lift change results in quick chirp and off you go...........and breaking the speed limit

A short shifter will help in getting that 1 to 2 chirp.

Yeah u cant compare the 1zz to the B16A, they each serve a completely different purpose and 1zz has no cam change mechanisim. The 2zz and the B16A are somewhat comparable since the Stivo is around 1230kg/141kw and the B16A civic has less power but is much lighter. I have never lost a run to such a civic, exept came close when i stuffed up the 1 to 2 lift gear change. Make sure u guys learn to drive the 2zz before you drag, otherewise u will embarase urself. Good driving can bring ur stivo into the mid 14s, while sloppy driving can make it a high 15 second car. Alot of it is in the driver.

As you can see we ended up with a Celica Sportivo rear skirt. The general dimensions are the same and could be fittted with some shortening around the wheel arches and some cutting around the back. However, since it is ABS plastic and not fibreglass, it makes remoulding alot more difficult. But damn it looks good on there.

King lows and superlows should still be way above 10cm. Are you sure he measured it correctly? Did he measure to the chssis or the exhaust. Maybe get some larger rolling diameter wheels/tyres to give u a bit of a lift, (hope they dont notice).

yeah im not a priest anymore

Go specialised 32inch
