DJKOR

Spotted these guys at 8:42pm at a location that should be familiar to the Brisbane crew. There was a third one but I just missed him in the photo. Lucky I cleaned my car before they got there because they sure left a lot of dirt/mud behind. For those unfamiliar, they are the Hilux Heroes.

Women can multi-task my ass. Probably easier for you. You wouldn't know just how much I'm craving that f***ing steak right now.

I like how this is in the Aurion section and is ideal for post boosting. I like to have this thread moved to the Club Lounge.

You were no better with organising

I like big butts and I can not lie

FCK YEAH x10000. Also made me LOL from how cool it is. I so want one of those bad boys. Add that to my list together with the other one off mini items like the and the .Reposted for ease of viewing:

You need to look at that statement in more depth. With the Sprint Booster on, you aren't exactly driving 'normally' anymore are you? YOU may feel like you are driving around normally by applying light throttle etc, but the ECU will see differently. The ECU will think you are driving more agressively (still within it's standard parameters with no performance increase) and in turn will run the engine as such. The only thing that is being tricked in the end is your own mind thinking you are driving 'normally'.

lulz,i did that last weekend :P and its kinda exxy Yeah, I just looked at that. Certainly not like it used to be (LOL, that was many many years back though). Well, doesn't this just suck. Was looking forward to something to do today. Now all I want now is that damn steak.

LOL. This is just going to be like Boost where so many people want to do something but nothing gets organised. That said, what the hell is there to do? Maybe we can do can Go Karting

Hey Hiro. I think we are on the same page. I guess there is a logic here that we see but no one else does. In cases like this, I chose to now leave the discussion.

If this is occurring, it would be applied AFTER the ECU received the throttle pedal input. Nothing you do prior to this can affect the ECU if it's programmed to alter the way the throttle body reacts to the throttle pedal input. So basically, that statement means the acceleration is much quicker because at 25% throttle, your are at 50% throttle according to the ECU. That makes sense, but how is it any different to not having the Sprint Booster and putting your foot down to 50% throttle? However... So if the Sprint Booster isn't increasing the engine's power output, then how is it making them spin their tires easier? Sounds more like it's just due to the increased throttle signal to the ECU at lower throttle pedal travel... which can be replicated without the Sprint Booster. Anyways, at the end of the day, if you feel good about it and you think it has transformed the way it makes your car feel, then good for you. My opinion is that if you have two of the same car side by side, one with the Sprint Booster, one without, both can accelerate exactly the same, the only difference is that one will be lighter on the throttle than the other. I'm not here to change anyone's opinion. I am just saying what I personally think about such device and why I wouldn't buy one.

Say what? Proper sentences would really help. Trying to understand what you have written and it's bloody difficult. As far as I can interpret, it sounds like you are complaining about the camber on the wheels when your wheels are turned... which is completely normal. But then you mention tracking which is mainly noticable when driving and not going slow like when parking. But without you asking the question properly, I don't know what the heck you are going on about.

It was looking promising as the rain cleared but there was a large amount of rain overnight that needs to dry up. Oh wells. Something else would be good if anyone can think of anything.

I don't want to stir up this discussion but I will just say what is happening on a more technical aspect. As I have said before, this is my own view. I'm not here to say that what others experience is different etc or that it is money wasted as this is something that in the end is up to the individual. Each to their own. Everyone is allowed to make their own opinions. I don't tell you that you have to like my lifestyle. Your opinions on my lifestyle are your opinions. You're allowed to have them. Anyways, what the Sprint Booster is is essentially a voltage amplifier. It is inserted in series between the throttle pedal and the ECU throttle input. Nothing you do here can affect the maximum speed the electronic throttle body can operate at. If you were to wire up the throttle pedal so all you had to do is press a button for the throttle pedal signal to go from 0% to 100%, that would mean that you can go from 0-100% throttle in a fraction of a second. That said, you are at the end limited to how fast the servo motor in the throttle body can open the butterfly from 0% (or close to 0%) all the way to 100%. Now lets go back to the standard throttle pedal. Lets say the time taken for you to push the pedal to the floor as fast as you can (which can be pretty quick) is still less than the time it takes for the throttle body servo motor to open the throttle to 100%. By having the Sprint Booster there, lets say that at 50% throttle, it's output is 100% throttle. Even saving half the time because you only have to move the pedal half the distance, you still can't speed up the rate in which the throttle body can operate. So pretty much nothing else inserted between the throttle pedal and ECU input, including the Sprint Booster is going to get that throttle body to open any faster. What you feel and what your brain interprets can be quite different to what is actually happening. Because it changes the way the pedal 'feels', your brain sees this as improved throttle response. You only have to tap the accelerator to get the same effect as moving your foot a longer distance under normal operation. But in the end, that's the intention of such device. It's mean to change the way the throttle feels, but on a technical aspect, it's not really increasing throttle response. It's just applying more throttle instead to give that illusion.

I have said it time and time again. Everything I have said is my own personal view. The general word out there though is that people love it. I personally think that it is certainly doing a good job tricking their mind into thinking it is making a performance difference, when it's all an illusion. Anyways as said, I am just expressing my own opinion. After all, I don't own one so I have no right in making an opinion on it as others have told me. Throttle Controller The Sprint Booster or the E-Booster as you have posted don't have any adjustment. They would only be set to one mode similar to the 'Sports' mode I mentioned above.

May as well update. Make that 3. 2004 - 2008 | 1991 Toyota Camry Executive (SV21) 2008 - 2010 | 2007 Toyota Aurion Sportivo SX6 2010 - Now | 2007 TRD Aurion 3500SL

H11's are typically low beams because they come in 55W in most cases. High beams are typically at least 65W. I must say, in a fraction of the time it has taken to get all these responses, you could have simply lifted the bonnet on your own car, remove the bulb, and find out what type they are. If you have a problem with doing this, then I'd hate to see how you'd feel about fitting the HID's. If you have your owners manual, you could even find out quicker.

your suggestions sir? I dunno. I'm not good with that sh*t. Oh yeah, also found this when I went onto Willowbank's website. You can actually view all the previous 1/4 mile times for the events including TnT's. Without a subscription you can only view limited data, but for full reference, the atmospheric conditions are all published. http://www.1320go.com/willowbank/getDates.php

So shall we organise an alternate event for tomorrow, should the weather not clear up early in the morning?

I don't like the little CF bits at the ends of the spokes. Ruins the look IMO.

its not an iPhone 4 thing D :P The site detects the iPhone's user agent and rendenders a version that is meant to be more compatable with a mobile browser/easer to fit on the screen... thats great, except for the fact that it makes it impossible to access a bunch of the forums features. I have a tweak on my iPhone (that works with older ones too) that changes the user agent of my browser, so websites think I am using google chrome(or firefox, opera, etc) on a mac, not safari on an iPhone. Correction then. I've been browsing the full site with out of the box settings with no tweaks required :P

I've been browsing the full site on my mobile long before the iPhone 4

This weather isn't looking promising at all. I must say though, I'm looking forward to that Mega-cut + sundae more than anything.

Andrew is soft! :P maybe he is scared of the yaris. :P I know, that's what ****s me the most. I'll book a table tomorrow, we'll see if anyone else puts their name down for dinner. Quality quoting At least he's not as soft as EVAN.

I vote 2. Number 1 can't be true because you intake is just a little too small in comparison to a small car, and 3 definitely has to be incorrect because you don't take it home... either it takes you home, or it turns the Earth till the home comes to you. Thus number 2 seems to be the most true. As for me, today I sat in the office as I watched it drizzle and completely dirty up the TRD that was only cleaned yesterday.
