bumpbump

up up and up

few items pending, happy to ship interstate :D

+1 to before and after, recommended by my workshop, i generally just change it to some cheapishy synthetic like castrol magnatec, have my fun on the track and return it back to royal purple.

edit

daily bump, can remove tyres off enkei's to make them cheaper! don't be shy, make me an offer

haha let me know justin :) they will come off the car in a few weeks.

$700 take it away? tanabe headers cost me about $500 and sard cat is $750 new lol

you'll need to cut and weld, i've had to do that even on the AE111 due to the highflow sard cat (if that is of interest to you aswell)

no worries justin, let me know. although i'm unsure if it will straight bolt onto a 16x 4AGE? i can't see any reason why it won't but you're welcome to test it once it's off the car.

it was cosmetic damage, then i thought it was a good (very bad) idea to pull out everything in the engine bay other than the engine/gearbox, clean it all up and reinstalling it. on the bright side, i started it up today for the first time in 2 weeks, 4AGE still screaming at me, fingers crossed this will be there on saturday!

Car atm, will i make it!?!?!

On the dyno you'll find the FA20 will put down closer to 25-30kw more at the wheels compared to the 20V. It's got more power and torque throughout the whole range than a 2zzge. Here's a dyno graph of the FA20 v's 190hp 2zzge in the elise: That's an american dyno but you can see it's ~123kw which is quite a bit more than the typical 80-90kw a stock 20V will put down. They're already getting 5kw atw gains from cat-back exhausts alone, I'd expect 10-15kw more and deletion of the torque dip with full exhaust and a reflash with ECUtek or Romraider. Don't forget the FT86 is about 200KGs heavier than an AE111, 0 - 100 on the FT86 is 6.9 seconds, IMO my AE111 would achieve/beat that... Even disregarding an AE111, a S2000 has much more power, with the same weight.....

disappointed about the power... i like the idea of FR, but for a car with as much options as my 15year old AE111 and barely 15KW extra, it's hard to justify... for it's weight and being NA it really needs to be closer to around 180KW to make it move and compete with S2000s, silvias and 350/370Z.. what concerns me is the aftermarket potential, with F20C, SR20s, RBs, Kseries, Bseries there is alot of aftermarket support and alot of tuning potential, I would like to see what the tuning houses can do with the car before i jump into one.

i think racing abit risky, i don't quite trust myself/others... want to go to tampered 28th of July?

A few videos of the 20v 4AGE BT in action

been a while since i've done an update, unfortunately this one is going to be a tad sad. track prep for winton, installed a SABELT 6pt harness and stripped some of the interior from the back. I only ran it as a 4pt on the track because 6pt was going to crush my balls. was soo excited hitting the track again, until 20minutes from winton we hit a kangaroo, my friend was driving my car, the kangaroo was running right to left and we tried to swerve right to avoid it, unfortunately the kangaroo stopped and we swiped it... fender gone, headlight gone, foglight knocked out, bumper cracked.... some friends helping out with emergency repairs pumping the guard out. ohwell, we were at winton, might aswell run, least i get more air into the intake. session 1: it was a non timed session and it was quite low temp and slippery on the track, mainly just tried to accustom myself to the track again, although i did spin out on the back of the track, left 90* corner. ended up doing a 2.03 but didn't really care. session 2: went pretty good, felt abit slow as i was overtaken quite abit, got maybe 1 or 2 good laps in but i span out on the left 90* after the corner, had a few issues with that and span again on the 90* right after that, decided i was pushing too hard so i backed off and waited for the track to get more heat. got a 1.56.3, beat my old PB by 0.3 but i was displeased. session 3: things started to get better and i got into the rhythm, as the track got grippier i started feeling more confident in attacking the corners, ended up getting 1.53.xx with the left 90* still being an issue, started taking a wider line but loosing heaps of speed. session 4: started pushing hard with the car and no real issues other than the left 90*, ended up with a 1.52.xx but displeased because i wanted a 1.50!!!! session 5: all or nothing, pushed the car as much as i felt it could, unfortunately had a small spin on the 90* again, by this session the brakes were almost gone and i had to brake earlier than in the previous sessions and i knew i had to get a quick lap in before it all gives up on me. ended up with a 1.51.6.. I think if I pushed one session sooner, or skipped a session to push it on the 5th session, I would have easily made 1.50.x or maybe into the 1.49.x as I lost alot of time on braking. still had alot of fun! beat my pb by 5 seconds, .... big thanks to the exe crew for putting such a great event, JAK workshop boys helping me build the car, Simon, Eason for the emergency repairs and Nam for helping me drive the car up! Now the real challenge beings as i'm rebuilding the AE111, fender has already been ordered, i'm thinking of putting the AE111 on a diet to get some free KW out of it, going to start looking for some semi slicks to put on my track wheels... I wonder what the future would hold..

i'm out :(

lol... leave my obnoxiously loud exhaust alone! btw there is a track day on monday if anyone is interested.. we can totally have a toyota group!

well it depends on the tyre profile you are running, wish i could give more definite answers but it's very trial and error.. i've played around with my coilovers/spacers heaps

http://svc097.wic026v.server-web.com/catalogue/kings_master_catalogue.pdf okay looks like ae92 springs is not interchangable with ae101 / ae102... this makes me think that the coilovers are unlikely to be interchangeable either
