hey just curious as to why the road to burswood is 150kmph ??? if so that would be very cool :)

glad I don't have my car back with those hefty fines :S

instant usable power... turbo... should they be in the same sentence? maybe you should have said supercharged...
disagree here ..... u need to look at correctly sizing the turbo to the car and the new line of garret turbo's and u'll c y i disagree.
its great and all to have lift and that extra kick.. but I don't see the point of having it kick in at 6000rpm... who revs the guts out of their stivos in every day driving? i know some people are lead foots and like to guzzle the fuel but in my sc rolla now and then i'll redline which is all good, i just think 6k is too high IMOif u look into the dynamics of the high cam and low cam u'll work out why it kicks in at over 6K rpms ..... ill give u a hint .... has something to do with adequate air flow .... or should i say lack there of below 6K rpms on a stock car ......
some more details regarding said S/C rolla would b nice as well
turbo still needs to spool up regardless of the size... i'm just saying personally i'd go sc as it spins with the engine and instant response, no lag.
i'm not really interested in looking into the dynamics of the high cam and low cam, dont get me wrong lift is great and everything, i just wouldnt like to have to rev it that high for it to kick in, i mean redline is about 7k right? im not sure with the stivos but my seca is 7k redline 8k rev cut.
however u could also flip the argument around and say a charger doesn't build boost quick enough because it has to be matched and driven by the cars revs ...... if u compare a s/c kit vs a turbo kit for a non built 2zz it takes till over 6K rpms to get the 7psi from the s/c where as 7psi is achieved as low as 3K rpms on the turbo. And with what ur calling a spool delay for a close ratioed setup like the stivo ur @ 3K rpms in literally no time ...... drive one u'll c wat i mean.
The s/c vs turbo debate is so old however given where turbo's are @ these days ive seen many which will out perform a s/c in all facets ..... just some food for thought
Fuel cut on a stivo stock is 8250 and with a ecu lifting it to 8500 is fine ......stock lift engages around 6200rpms and u can get lift down to 5K rpms once ur car is boosted ..... remember air flow ..... we experimented below 5K rpms and it was fine as well but wasnt effective if the car wasnt @ WOT ..... under WOT we dug lift deep into the 4K rpm range ;)
well i'm not too sure how the sc would work with the 2zz because at about 3k i've already hit about 10-12psi. Turbo generally outperforms sc's because you can achieve massive power figures where sc is for that instant response.

im just going to wear overalls and boots lol

not so sure after the AHG driving because our cars will be pretty worn out hehehe... I might be up for it tho..
-
a guy i was talking too from perth rex said you need long sleves and pants?? is this correct.. they should have a list of requirements somewhere anyways..
i know thats definately the rules for motorplex but never been to AHG so dunno but will bring a jumper just in case

Hey Kenneth.. i'll come over and give you the money.. and you can put my name under Mike Okslong ... if you don't get it say it a few times out loud hahahaha

Alright, had my sportivo as said previously for roughly 2 years. I have been impressed by it and also not impressed. I feel some days i have to rip the guts out of it to get some decent power out of it. I feel a bit like a hoon too because of this. I am not a massive car expert but came someone shed some light to why this is happening. I have not issues with the car it just came out of it 60,000km service and i made sure my clutch and gearbox where throughly check and all came back clear.
More or less i am just worried that due to me having to hit a 4 or 5 grand rev to keep up for a decent flow of traffic with a v8 commo on my ***** it just feels like i expected more power?
You're missing the whole point of VVTLi and VTEC...
The idea is to have a normal well-behaved engine below 6000RPM and then a suprising slap in the face of torque and power after 6000RPM.
There is a normal/economy camshaft that makes your engine behave like a normal Corolla until around 5200RPM, then oil pressure builds and the engine engages the performance camshaft which is much more agressive and opens the valves wider and for longer periods of time. Hitting the high-cam is not ripping the guts out of it, it's designed to do that, and you aren't making excessive noise or pollution because the car has passed all ADR's so you are not a hoon either.
If you want a lump of torque under 5000RPM like a V8, then buy a V8. If you want instant usable power between 2000 and 6000RPM then buy a turbo car. But if you want a car with 2 engines in 1, great fuel economy and a bit of fun whenever you want it, then stick with the VVTLi and don't whinge!

really? i normally run mine at 290kPa which is like 42psi.. correct me if im wrong.. sounds wrong doesnt it? but i have never had problems
lol u will find that the middle of ur tyre wears out well before ur sides die.. your tyre placecard recommends 32psi all around and usually add 10% to tht to improve handling and fuel economy (apprantely) so 34 is prob what u wanna run it on normally but 42?! dude.. on a cold day maybe you can get away with it.. imagine on a hot day and a long run.. it will get up to maybe :S 48 psi? ouch!
deflate those tyres!!! have them on 34 or smething but on the day put them up to 38 or 42 if u like :)
PM ME YOUR FULL NAME PLEASE!!! BEFORE THE END OF THE WEEK or i would hv to make up some random name for u
lol the middle of your tyre wears out first assuming that your wheels are aligned properly hahaha
-
far out ken had a heart attack for a sec cause i thought u were talking about the 5th being tomorrow!!! coz car def wont be ready lol but im DEF up for next month :D
-
Sounds nice though given my location, it might be difficult getting there
And just remember, the boys in the easy have shown repeatedly that in the end, the differences between the 1zz and 2zz may not be that significant...
Yea I think with practice there could be a difference, anyways this driving course should be fun and make us better drivers!
count me in for 16th march driving course... but like ken is saying its probably better if we organise our own group if we can get enough ppl...
am definately down for whoop ***** wednesday but give me 2 weeks to be ready for it :P
-
k what do you think now?
confucious say turbo car with no brakes give big bang
lol what... firstly it is supercharged
2ndly its got brakes... the photochop is just a basic one which you won't see the front caliper or the rear drum as i only need to see what it will look like with these rims... if you said it didnt have a front bumper, then yes I would know what your referring to :P
-
k what do you think now?
-
i'm spewin that i couldnt make it! car still off the road until further notice. i'm sure the next meet will be even bigger and better! :)
-
Hey jayrome :) had abit of time so i made this :P
BUT BEFORE ANYONE SAYS ANYTHING.. I MUST SAY I KNOW MY PHOTOSHOP SKILLS ARENT GOOD..AND I HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO USE THEM AT ALL..SO THIS IS ALL I CAN DO >.<
just so u get a rough idea jayrome :)
I KNOW IT SUCK BALLZ..SO JUST HAVE A LOOK N SHHHHHHHHHHHH..hahaha
thanks jeremy !! i'm convinced it should look sweet, $999 from tempetyres including 4 new tyres all fitted and balanced :) 205/40/17 so should fit nicely.
Thanks for the comments angelo, can't wait till you get your charger :D
-
Not only its very exciting :) its very sexy
i know i've sed this once before, but jeremy your a darling
but im just concerned about the rims, will they suit, gold and black are awsome but need to know if it will suit my car
-
update
look at my new purchase!!! yay!!
for more info visit http://purchasenet.com.au/shopping/stinger...ment-p-129.html
sold my rims and got the stockies on wooO!!!
these are what i wanna get 17"x7 what yo think??
aircon compressor seized and is being replaced this week
along with a few other things, should have back friday but we'll see... very exciting!
-
Oh alright :D weekends it is then :) so sat?
yeah if its a weekend I can make it... not sure if i'll have the seca but i'll have the new daily hehehe
-
yeah mate u gotta take it back....coz they obviously didnt connect the cable back up again...should be free of charge....ahh nice to see u luv ur new exedy clutch....i dont think it needs a lengthy break in period...after the first few times u done the whole gear changes...its good to goo...basically its good to go as soon as its installed...bt its always good to drive a lil easier when u first get the clutch put in...just in case....bt i would say after the first drive...u can go harder....if u got the exedy heavy duty clutch...then tht thing should last for a very long time....nice to hear tht u got ur girl back....!!
mate I wouldnt go telling him that its good to go after the first couple of gear changes... unless he wants to burn his clutch.. give it at least 500km before you start droppin the clutch and givin it crap, far out dude
-
give me a week so my car will be back on the road otherwise i'll have to bring the daily, and it has no balls :P
