  1. Too way over hyped and if it fails to impress then your pretty much gone.

    Hatch is Butt Ugly, but the sedan is really nice!!

    1 vote for the sedan!!

    the sedan does look really good, doesn't look anything like the hatch. Weird how most hatches at least share 70% of the shape as the sedans.

    Also for the price, there's a huge hot hatch market now as well, to be honest doesn't really compete against the leaders.

  2. Group:

    Protek Performance (Preston) - $40

    Kamakazi Motor Sport (Blackburn) - $45

    NT Performance (Footscray) - $40 incl Lunch :D !!

    Dyno runs - 2/3

    Printouts - Max KW, HP, Air fuel Ratio + constructive feedback from the dude/dudet and a free peerve (i.e. NT Performance Grrr grrr purrr purrr)

    1zzfe's will put out between: 75kw --- 90kw.. ... ..

    Stivo's (aka lifta-matrons) will put out between 95kw --- 120kw+

    always varaialbe due to:

    - Service (oils etc)

    - CAI

    - Rice bits (hehehe)

    - Other go fast bits (clutches, pipes, dry ice... ..)

    - Weather (heat soak etc.)

    - Dyno calibrations (always good to do in groups/back to back as individual dynos are pretty much useless)

    - Fuel (Boosters...)

    - Running in period since last ECU resest*

    How much will my auto 1zz-fe put out? lol

  3. I'll probably come to watch, don't think my CAI made much difference to my auto 1zz-fe haha.

  4. Hi, I installed an AEM CAI in my 1zz-fe. I'm getting worried it might suck in water, what's the chances of water getting trapped in the area where the pod is located? It looks to be safe, but does the mud guard lining stop water from getting in?

    How much water can the pod suck in to start causing damage to the engine?

  5. OUCH! You survived that man, rather her than you. Don't worry i'm pretty sure that will buff out, it's still good! :D Same thing happened to me, but can't compare mine to that.. Alot of dickheads out there.. Hope your back to good health again brah!

  6. sedan has different muffler to hatch. the sedan is longer because of the boot and therefore has a longer muffler body. the tip however is still the same small thing.

    be careful on the muffler since you need back pressure or will lose power in the 1zz. many have gone with the twin loop style available from xforce.

    overseas where the sedan is more popular there are professional centre pipes to buy offself. after talking with some people, some used things like n1 and lost power. now most sedans are running fgk which is fujitsubo. these are sometimes made for the wagon however since the wagon is only a little bit longer than a sedan, you can get away with installing this (bolt on) and not have the tip sticking out too far out once you install a rear skirt.

    without a rear skirt it will stick out and look funny.

    I'm going to take your word for it Marcus, cos' your more trustworthy. :D

  7. Yeah man, tell me about it! All they are doing is milking the name dry for all those die-hard fans.

    Watched TMNT, was shocked and honestly disgusted. They absolutely ruined that movie. 3D animation, seriously wasn't the way to go. Also how screwed was the storyline? Were the writers on crack? Pure utter crap!! Part 1 and 2 were my favorites.

    With the technology they have today, they could make awesome lifelike suites like in Norbit and not to mention a few others. It would be more appealing to the older generation that grew up jumping off the sofa kicking and punching, as the turtles kicked some foot soldier a55!

    Back to the point. If Hollywood was a guy, I'd kick him in the balls. :D

  8. hey guyyys,

    I don't own a toyota myself, but I do drive my mum's 1994 camry like it's a 10 sec beast.. plus some of my friends are around on these forums and also my dream car is the supra tt. :D

    that's it in it's good days.. since my sister has driven it, she's side swiped it, reversed into a car and apparently somebody kicked the headlights, so one of them has no lens :rolleyes:

    And this is my car, not a toyota, but it's still a car right?!

    IMG_3478_s.jpgIMG_3510_s.jpg

    It's a Lancer GSR. As for mods, I'd flood this post with them. :lol:

    gg noob

  9. I get heaps @ the servo lol:

    MX-5 - 'SMVCRIM'

    Calais - 'GMH2NV'

    VS - 'PLEZNU'

    VL Turbo - 'OFTAAP' (my favorite)

    NSX - 'OBEY' (dealer for sure)

    S2000 - 'ALRIZE'

    BMW 1 series - 'MADEIT'

    i reckon it catches too much attention, if you do get one it should be car related, like 'TRD-XXX' something along those lines. Or it has to be quirky.

    Ferrari F350 - 'COMPO'

    Lamborghini Diablo - 'BANKRUPT'

    two of my favorites :D
