Old rotaries are unreliable but the later 13B seems to be more reliable as long as you treat it nicely (I mean extra nicely like not forgetting Valentine's Day, Wedding Anniversary, etc) and don't do anything too crazy, it'll be reliable :)

Sounds like a good alternative! I'm curious though, which of the 3 above is the one for the ZZT? and which one is for the ZZE? Cause I'm concerned about placement of inlet/outlet and diameter of the inlet/outlet. I did a good job confusing myself XD

Hello ladies and gents, Just out of curiousity, how effective is your stock radiator when dealing with your stock/modified 2ZZ both daily (in traffic in particular) and track conditions? Crazy I know it may seem but I'm considering alternative radiators for my AE111 atm, the stock radiator can't hope to keep the water temp down. In open air its fine but in moderate traffic, it reached 120deg! If anyone could provide photos as well or links cause I'm getting conflicting photos... Celica GT/GT-S Radiator? Celica ZZT Radiator? Koyo Racing Radiator for Celica? Thanks guys :)

If anyone looking for top service and excellent pricing... Reflect Effect is great ;)

Put me in as confirmed, I'll use a flatbed or a F1 Team Truck if I have too *gets ready to high jack from Melbourne* Lol XD

Actually I'm half Asian. I just grew up learning how to get out of things. If you aren't able to do that... then you weren't sneaky enough. Obviously, you've not been held at blade point XD I kid I kid brother ;)

Ummmm... Flashback?

I guess you're not asian then lol... If you tried that in a sterotypical Asian family, you'll be disowned and killed on the spot for trespassing...

Did you have a passenger? Witness might help by 1%... Its more of a his word against yours though... If you know the procedure for the usage of the tag gun, maybe argue he was given a false reading and what not... Not much hope though unfortunately... Btw a complementary comment: "Don't speed..." :P

Don't take my word as gospel though =P Well put it this way, pretend Fred had an accident where he couldn't stop in time cause the person cut right in front of him (he likes to take the rear door...) if the insurance company find out that he had none approved brake lines, hasn't told them about it (braided hoses with none approved fittings) and/or detached his ABS, they could void the cover he purchased based on the fact he didn't advise them of the changes/alterations to his car.

^^^ Unfortunately, left lane unless overtaking, the truck on the right is probably overtaking, just not in the same context or speed you and I are use too...

AE86 Black Edition, rare as errrr... Dunno but its the rarest special version of the AE86 series, comes with that crazy digital dash, black interior and what not...

Awesome advice, I might look into it but well see what happens, I've got a long way till I start looking at what to do with the engine, main reason why I want to do it is coz I dont want to be a lemming, I like being different Dw, I know what you mean :) Though having a look at the engine bay and the 2ZZ's placement... Doesn't exactly inspire confidence does it...

Anything not advised won't be covered so if you've got the stock parts, best to fit them on, don't give them any sort of reason to void the insurance (probably not applicable in your case since mother nature decided to attack you guys...)

For a daily tyre, RE001s are a softish compound so if you drive it with some gutso then it won't last you exactly that long. To give you an idea, my friend with an Accord Euro has done 2 trackdays @ Wakefield and has driven to and from work (30 - 40min drive each way) its lasted him a little more than 3 years so far and still going XD But on the other hand if you drive like a maniac, torture tires, go to RNP/Galston/Old Pac/etc every night, don't expect it to last you past 2 years...

Just buy another car, why would you want such an old car, you don't deliver tofu @ 3AM in the morning with a client who's coincidently on the other side of a mountain... :P MX5 comes to mind as a much better alternative... Nobody is Takumi after all If you do manage to find an AE86 for cheap, its got Touge run or Dori Dori damage... Or significant bits and pieces are missing...

Lucky for me, ITBs come standard ;) ITBs is the ultimate step for NA tuning (Well it can be applied for force induction but lets not go there ;)) you pretty much do it last, its costly, if you're actually looking for power gains, you're looking in the wrong place (NA gains power/torque either via cams or via displacement if all else is kept equal). Do everything else to the engine forged internals, (forged internals if you're planning on revving out to stratospheric heights) machine work (port n polish, combustion chamber adjustment, blueprint, balance, etc etc) and decide on where you want your powerband to be which will dictate what cams are needed and if your valvetrain needs to be strengthened. Also if you're fuel system is reaching its limits then may have to look within the family (Supra, Chaser, Celica GT-Four) for bigger injectors and fuel pump. Then as mentioned an ECU that can handle it, most likely a standalone needs to be used. Its just a general plan above cause I'm not too familiar with the exact specs of the 2ZZ and the auxiliary components around it.

WOW!!! :D Nice work guys!

Hey Kenshin, they're a good price, I got mine fitted and balanced for $167 each :) I dunno about that $240 each, sounds like drivel to me ;) To OP, if only we had such magical tires ;) I've ran Yoko C-Drives, Yoko S-Drives and RE001s... RE001s walk all over them in all departments :) Will be trying Pirelli P-Zeros later :) We all have different tolerances and views on aspects of tires (like any other thing eg exhaust) so even if someone says its comfortable like riding on clouds, it might not be like that for you ;)

When you say tractor, do you mean like it sounds like an old school diesel?

Well even if you kept the service interval the same, depending on how you've driven the car etc will impact on the degradation of the oil. As some of the others mentioned, I'm not a believer in flushing the oil regularly...

Join me in the 10,000RPM club =D DO IT!!!

Or the previous driver can't drive for **** =P Power doesn't really damage clutches, torque does it for you that's why clutch are rated by torque and pressure rather than by power. If its not in properly though, I'd expect more than just a little problem XD When you say evident on clutch, what signs are given to you?

Weaksauce...

well it would atleast have to run quicker than 12.5 down the quarter to be a trade up otherwise i'd just stick with my stivo .... wat r u thinking r the options ? Lolz, not an easy task when you look at it XD (Considering it takes a Porsche GT3 to go down the quarter 12secs, I know its not made for it but puts things into perspective XD) What other requirements xoom? :) Style? Practicality? Fuel Consumption? Sounds like you should stick with the Stivo or buy a MR-S and do the 2ZZ conversion in that
