  1. however in the just recent Bathurst PRoduction car races,the celica racing team, explained how they used a motek management system to advance the timing i think....and thats one of the best success stories ive heard so far...

    But they put 10s of 1000s of dollars into their 7th gens for race mods so im sure it wasnt cheap..

  2. There is not real gains from advancing lift in the 2ZZ, this has been discussed at length in many celica forums. Unlike the VTEC where aftermarket controlls are plenty, There have been many unsuccessful attempt at advancing lift for any performance gains..

    I believe i read somewhere TRD japan has come up with a controller but refused to sell it to TRD America and so it has stayed in Japan an not really avaliable to the general public...

  3. when i got my levin and asked for an upgraded alarm...

    they installed a whole new one.

    i thought that 'was' the upgrade...a new alarm....isn't it?

    sum1 explain what their 'upgraded alarm' was?

    i was thinking of getting one that was remote start and really fancy and stuff....hehehe.....it's just cool. like a boomerang one.

    basically im with stoopid head :D

    an upgrade will mean the alarm will run off ur factory computer which already controls central lockin etc from ur factory remotes....so that not only do the remoted lock and unlock ur doors, they arm the alarm system which will add immobilizer/siren/shock sensors, whilts all from ur stivo remotes..

    if u buy a new alarm and NOT an upgrade they will usually have their own remotes supplied with it. You can put these types of alarms on but its generally a pain in the ***** having two stivo remotes + two new remotes that come with the alarm..

    The boomerang one im sure comes with its own remotes, sure remotes start is funky but its borderline **** factor at time :lol: ...but if u do decide to go for it u will have a boomerang remote to carry around too, basically because there are no spare buttons on ur stivo remote...

    Personally I would just go for an upgrade on ur stivo remotes, but that is just me - its neater and less hassle.

  4. Does anyone use OCTANE BOOST?

    i was contemplating on using OCTANE boost every 2 tanks....

    using the premium fuel.....we're running 98 RON. plus octane boost....possibly running 100 ROn, which is what the japs use.

    What you guys think?

    i thought our engines were tuned down so we dont need 100ron.

    98 ron (BP ultimate) should be more than enough as its meant to run on normal premium which is 95ron anyways..

  5. xtiger u prolly already know this but make sure u get an upgrade and not a whole new alarm! (unless of course im wrong in assuming the stivo comes with keyless entry...or im wrong and he likes having two remotes on his key chain!) :lol:

  6. yeah c'mon guys lets get this thing rolling (no pun intended)

    I really wanna have a look at peoples mods.

    anytime is good for me, i work on a week to week basis so as long as i know about the meet a week in advance i can get any time i want off.

    Hey Influx, did you get those eyelids yet, any pics

    B)

    well what do you think about mon night this week?

    I am thinkin double demerits shouldnt have kicked in by then, it'll be the 22 of dec

    or maybe they will have kicked in by then lol

    Im free sun night too after 6pm

    otherwise given holidays it prolly wont happen till jan sometime

  7. I love my new 'Rolla, but it's WAY too noisy inside...anyone done any work on sound deadening kits for them ??

    Someone said there's a place in Dandy specialising in deadening materials and kits...any clues who they might be ..??

    Cheers.

    sound deadening material is avaliable from a few places, i know strathfield car radios keep it handy for sub setups and trunk noise etc....so you could check ur nearest store..

    or even a hardware shop should have similar materials. If you still dont have any luck pm me mate

    its a bit costly though, i havent got the price off hand but i know it goes by the metre from memory

    hope this helps

    and whats with that "aural magic" of the engine comment, ***** someone needs to put the KY away when driving his rolla hahahhaha :lol:

  8. penrith toyota suck balls

    well i had a bad experience with them thats all, theyre service was horrible and he was overcharging like a mofo..

    castle hill toyota does the same parts and can help you out with good prices

    yeah how much for the CAI also how much did u pay for the TRD air filter? and where did u acquire this awesome equipment :D

  9. Hi

    Given we have members from all over australia on or who can register to be on this board, it would be great to record the location of a member in their profile perhaps, and have it displayed alongside his name, avatar and post count etc.

    It would make it alot easier to work out who is from where and stuff, as well as co-ordinating meets

  10. Headys are different on the Matrix unfortunately... :(

    JDM Parts Guru can get Eyelids at a reasonbale price ... Hes a sponsor from memory maybe somebody should pm or email him...

    well in anycase there is money to be spent.

    I was considering getting a CF bonnet for the 7th gen celica with the raised scoop, approx 1300 dollars.

    THe TRD exhaust is approx $1500

    Im gonna get the air filter asap prolly before we arrange anything

    possibly eyelids for the celica..but yeah, once we all meet up its hell easy to work out. plus toy cruise :lol:

  11. 2,000km....really? :(

    yeah, drive the car a little harder..but....i wouldn't race it till the 10,000km service.. :(

    ok fellas where gettin a little confused.

    I think xtiger is gonna wait till 1000/2000 before opening her up, but once he does he will use lift and such yeah ???

    which is on for 6-7.5Krpm anyways, what hes sayin is he wont redline the biatch till after atleast 10000kms, i presuming here u mean u wont hit revlimited till then yeah?

    coz if ur not using lift till 10000kms, return ur damn stivo.

    and blackrolla, damn first i heard of a dealer doing that, or atleast that bein recommended

  12. I think we should have a meet maybe and work out who needs what at a cruise, and then put a bulk order to carmate and demand a discount otherwise tell them we'll take our business elswhere, form the orders here its almost a grand to be spent, let alone the others that might want gear and other rollas...
