  1. That would be Dugong (Andrew). Lives around the corner from me... It sounds awesome and goes well.... shame its an auto...
  2. Thats what I paid for my Emanage... i was lucky enough for it to come with a custom harness as well... one the best mods I've got for rolla as it just pulled all of my other mods together and made it all work the way it should... I got some pretty decent gains from it as well...
  3. I was just about to put up a post with a similar question... Lately my rolla has developed a really bad whirring/whining noise from the engine... it comes and goes and not necessarily when im driving hard... it sounds like its coming from the drive belts... so far, my car's done about 93,000 Km...
  4. Spotted DuGong trying to reverse down his driveway...
  5. First of all, what an amazing set up!! Something I've always wanted to try, but never had the time or money... However, when I was thinking about it, I was considering using a mini mac with a fold out screen. Its small enough to mount in the dash like a head unit, as its the size of one, and the fold out screen would mount on top giving it a very clean look with no gaps. Also the mini mac is very good with multimedia and plug ins...
  6. HEHEHEHEHEEeeee :D :P Spotted hey!!!LOL always up and down hume hwy every day....But at the moment there is only 1 ignition X rolla soon to be 2!!!!!! And as for being on Oxford St u will catch me on that St between the hours of 10pm...12pm picking my mum up from work!!!Hey Heatseca were u the guy i waved to in the Maurone rolla????? If so spotted ya too!!LOL :P ← Hehehe... Yeah that was me! Knew it was you, so I thought I'd give the rev-and-horn drive by salute :P ....and by the way, it's Simpson Red!! :D
  7. Saw Sonny (RunX) last night on Oxford St.... .....I was just passing through, don't know what he was doin there.. :D
  8. Keep seeing this black sportivo parked at the Harbourside Carpark, Darling Harbour (syd). LUB-### Love your wheels and ride height!!
  9. Is this still gonna be on? This thread has been dormant for a bit...
  10. Hey just cam back from seeing it!! It was incredible!! Saw it from Sydney Harbour, then raced to the Stamford at Sydney Airport and went on the roof to get some incredible shots... When i get them developed i'll put them up.
  11. That road looks like fun... and this is after my exams finish so tempting.... I hope I don't have work that night!!
  12. I've been meaning to post it up but I dont have a scanner so you'll have to wait until I do it at uni or a friends place... 600 nm?? He he, I'd like to see that!! :P
  13. Questionable on a few things I know... Apparently the car was severly out of tune... It was too lean at low rpm, and way to rich at high rpm, so that was a key factor as to why the intial kw reading was low... Although the torque reading is insanely high, the tuner did say that would translate to around the 200 mark so then again I dont think its that out of the ordinary... I was also thinking that (i could be wrong here..) a dynometer doesnt have the same sorta friction you get on the road ie. the dyno allows your wheels to turn a little easier. Maybe that is why i got such a reading... Does that sound right? Then again we come to the old argument of different tuners and dynos and the different readings they give. There's even ambiguity between different engines of the same type. For example, I've seen a stock 1ZZ-FE get over 80 kw while another stock 1ZZ-FE give around 72 kw. Probably if I put my car on a different dyno, i'd get a different reading...
  14. hahaha not a chance.. the Stivo will still eat him alive ← just crushed all our little 1zz hearts :( haha ← But it would be good to have a run just for educational comaprison... :P
  15. I know what u mean... I heard they've crammed more features into the Yaris than in the Rolla!
  16. I know... it just sounds cool having a figure like that on the dyno! :P I'm sure on the road, that figure is a little less...
  17. I think there's been some discussion for turboing a 1ZZ-FE, but not sure about sportivo. I think rollamods once listed all the parts and costs needed to do such a job. If you search the forums, you'll find it. I don't think the list would change much for a 2ZZ-GE. Also check out monkey wrench racing (do a google seach for the website) these guys in the US have almost everything for the 1ZZ-FE to the 2ZZ-GE such as turbo kits etc. I saw a stroker kit there once, bore the engine out to a 2.0L. Hey, forget the turbo! :P
  18. I am as surprised as much as you are! Its no typo... I saw it on the dyno myself and its on the print-out. :D
  19. Thats what I thought. But were changing the VVTi (VTEC) settings and it changed the output on the dyno so it must have been doing something... The tuner mentioned something about changing some things about VVTi but not everything... The tune cost me about $300... Tuning is expensive... But the outcome was great. I was surprised myself to see that much torque, but there it was.. :P You can really feel it in the low rev..
  20. Yeah that what i meant.. :P In the support tool the VVTi was represented at VTEC, but it was still showing a reading. It was set to kick in at i think 5000 rpm and cut out at 4800 rpm.. I can't remember exactly to what we changed them to...
