DANZZT231

Yes, our curve are consistent to what 2zz-ge should be producing with cold air intake. Lift seems to be later in your car. just a bit later.

in general it takes awhile. My Celica made 110.4kw at wheels at an earlier RPM than yours, but basically is quite of the same. I didn't get measurement of tourqe, as I am more interested in A/F ratio. Perhaps you have more tourqe than others? You can compare your curve with mario and kaze sportivo, see if there are significant differences.

I never driven the 8, but driven 8MR for awhile few months ago. Very quick and devastating car. And that's the car that made me decide to buy Bilstein for my Celica.

you got that right!

hmmm, i'm into something else at the moment and it really isn't the time for me to spend on car. But I would want 156 GTA for my first Sedan and thats my next target within 3 years. I don't care if its an old car by then.

yes it cost around AUD $80k - not sure for which grade. I am waiting to see if there is gearbox problem. User sometimes mistaken this gearbox as automatic, but really it needs to be operated like manual in particular during downshifting. Oh man, missed the selespeed from Alfa.

the GTR have a very advanced technology and very classy interior, leather all around the dash and quality fit and finish, which makes it justifiable for its $160k asking price. Yes, you can read this in Wheels magazin, and judging from the pictures of GTR album magazine my friend bought from Japan, they got to be kidding it only cost around AUD $80k in its homeland. This car no longer looks cheap inside and out. However, when you attend bar session, one with those who can really afford prestigous brand or the so called heritage class kind of car, showing your GT-R key next to some one who shows his Porsche key (regardless which model) would be no contest in my opinion. Sure you can say your car is faster, but these crowd don't measure car by its performance alone. Hell, maybe most of them don't even care about spec stats. And the babes don't dig it either. A similar story is Audi R8 and 911. You just need to know, Porsche have heritage with its 911. And thats what carried the brand name, regardless of which model you buy. I'll let the marketing professionals explain. But if you talk to sports enthusiast who admire performance cars, the GTR would have favor in that crowd. As for me, well, $160k is big money, maybe I'll walk into BMW showroom and get me an M3 :)

There isn't much nice bodykit for the ST204. Although, if I am not mistaken, the OEM bodykit that includes front lips, sideskirt and rear skirts are nicest kit you can buy. Even the TRD ones looked like a retard. But, I'll browse through my Celica tuning book and see if there are nice bodykit for the ST204. And yes, that model follows the tradition of Celica being the baby supra (remember, celica and supra used to be one called Celica Supra - it's the super version of Celica back in the days).

And my CFO told me he once owned a sports car - an MX-6.

That's the stroked 2zz isn't it?

i think MX-5 would be the real sports car in this context. 3 generations and none failed to impress the automotive community. History says something about that car.

I saw in MWR website TODA 1.9 stroker kit for 1zz-fe. That could be the kit to buy for serious N/A 1zz-fe.

Ah the Ghetto Low days with the Hamster, such a memory to remember, it must've sit 3 to 4 inch lower than standard during those days. Melbourne road is not bad if you ask me, but some road can be rough. I think for some, 50mm would've been the best drop.

Wow, a turbocharged sportivo in Melbourne. Anyone seen my previous car lately? I kinda missed it.

Looking at the damage, this car looks to be very safe.

Isn't that unit a universal module? I read on newcelica forum a member put it into his celica but have to choose honda as manufacturer to make the module reads the OBDII information. But hey it works! Under 300 bucks is cheap, where did u spot this? P.S - Oh I just saw ur link

someone would grab hold of that engine for sure.

With that budget your best bet is buy the copy version from E-bay. There's even one with Carbon Fibre midblade which looks pretty neat.

One of my favourite extreme bodykit supra. This one is up there with Veilside Evolution.

I thought King Springs are progressive springs?

Is you car equipped with PFC? Because I saw on that dyno sheet the lift engagement point in that dyno is below 6000rpm.

Aurion TRD is one handsome car.

Yeap he is on his way there as we went for the same direction.

Driven a Hyundai Excel for 1 week to reset yourself. Then drive the sportivo again.

Subaru never was a great looker anyway, so why try to be one when even with its strange looks people would still buy one for its turbo terror. But this one is build specifically to win WRC. I'm sure some of you may know thats why its decided to go hatchback.
