Since we have quite a few different makes and categories, can you guys provide some suggestions of what categories to have. I would say 3-4 categories tops.

Im thinking 1.BEST STOCK COROLLA

2. BEST MODIFIED COROLLA

3. BEST TURBO

4.BEST N/A

MODIFIES INCLUDES ONLY ENGINE MODS, LOWERING ETC NOT CONSIDERED A DYNO MOD.

What you really need is for CES to make you a custom one :P

HOOON!!!!!!! I love it...thats just the Injen though, no exhaust, and you didnt land lift 1-2 either :P

If everyone on the list turns out, were pretty much booked, onlookers are always welcom. I will print out the list on the day, and when you rock up, you will just tick it so we know whose there. It will ne like a roll call :P

Remember guys, this is not a modding comp. With soo many cars i doubt you have time to change parts and do runs separately, but we will see on the day.

No need for water, just unzip the fly and ***** on it.

Might need the pepper and tweezers to find it first

Its gona have to be one big pair of tweezers :P might have to get CES to make me a custom pair stainless steel :P

Hi.

I'm looking to get a cat back exhaust and its difficult to find one that

you can simply buy and bolt on.

So what I want to know is, is there one you can buy and bolt on?

or where is the best place to get a custom cat back exhaust in stainless steel?

I'm looking at something reasonbly priced and good quality, nothing too ridiculous like a huge cannonball.

Blast from the past.

Yes, there is! A set-up similar to the TRD/Brash Brothers/CES system, when it comes down to it; and R&D research; who cares, its just a quality built pipe!

Talking to a few exhaust places, they claim that our set up is very good and efficient, and the only thing that you should do is get a more free-flowing/performance based catalyct converters. Apart from that, the rest is looks and noise.

I had that too mate, they look at me like wtf would you wanna swap this system, most of them cant believe how good it is for stock.

Did I hear a Vtec noise in here?? :D :P

Exactly my friggin point, when they first brought it out and i said its too expensive everyone was busting my chops coz its custom made etc etc. and not many brought it. Its not a world famous brand, its a local exhaust shop that gets into sports exhausts, im sure they didnt spend that much time developing. I just dont see the value in it, but hey thats just me , and a few others i think ;) . And Danthuyer if i was rolling around in millions i wouldnt get one, the issue is not money or how many car I own, the issue is bang for your buck. Like sportiv said, hes on a tight budget, doesent make sense for him to spend soo much on an exhaust. What you guys dont suggest is another alternative which I am trying to research, but its hard when everyone with a CES exhaust is soo secretive about it like its the shiet, which im sure it is, but thats not behaving in a community forum way, and you guys suck . Some of you dont know details etc, but some that have techincal info never mention it.

I expect some blasts so bring em' on!!!

I guess i just dont want something made in Queensland being flogged off by you ever since you signed on the forum :) surely you must be getting some comission from this a muffler is about $300, the rest of the system can be easily copied, its a 2.25 inch stainless, the muffler is the tricky part.

I agree Northy, but I personally wouldnt be spending that much for it. Then id have to get it shipped down here and installed, would easily set me back close to $1,300. Can get one done here for half the price, im just waiting to see when Magnaflow bring out their system. our system is more than adequate, its the muffler than needs replaced.

Yep, and i would never spend over a grand for an exhaust system.

Not to mention the friggin ridiculous price which keeps another shi*load of people from getting it ;)

Grow some Muscles :P

I think the Audio comp is self organised, just make your own doof doof, its an industrial area so should be allrite for noise.

Lucio -  i used that method in the past when my gear shifter was stuck at high revs and only hitting the rev limiter releases it for me to shift smooth and quick, and i used to land 1-2 LIFT 9/10 times.  But what Northy said is also true, hitting limiter can impede the car's forward progression so you can sometimes end up having less road speed than say shifting before hitting limiter.  It is a hit or miss thing with the rev limiter.

Actually ever since i got my clutch/flywheel/wheels/tyres i only landed 1-2 LIFT once and the tyres never screeched or chirped, just lost traction and you could feel it.  Maybe its te tyres or wheel/tyre combo weighing heavier all up compared to the old wheel/tyre.  Don't forget the old rims were 16x6 and Turanza tyres look lighter than my yokies now. 

But anyway i went for a drive again today to practice and i never grind or crunched 2nd today.  I never had issues with 3-2 downshifts or any other gears except occassionally 2-3 upshift hen i rushed it.  I put it down to me trying to shift too fast with a very firm hand on the shifter, slamming into 2nd.  The gearbox has let me know it doesn't like it   Now i have a much looser grip and i shift slower, feeling the notchiness, revs usually drop to around 5800-6000rpm each time i tried to upshift at redline.  So i just need to find more quiet stretches of road to practice now ;)

Yeah it does slow you down I noticed too, but i only use it on a 2-3 shift where it makes no difference.

You and your cruises :D

I went to see the place myself, spoke to Simon, pretty cool guy, specialises mostly in Nissans, so heres our chance to show him some sportivo power :D . The prises include Free synthetic oil for most powerful car and other stuff that will be given out on the day.

PS: No need to call him, if you have any queries pm me or give me a call on

0423 084 959.

We will try and run alll the corollas at the same time, all the astras at the same time and the RWD at the same time as they have to change the dyno around.

Allrite this is going to be great. :)

I found a little trick in my Corolla. Hit the rev limiter in every gear and you land in lift all the time. I guess every car is different, but this works for my car 100%. It always lands at 6400-6600.

Looks good mate, how much did it frop 40mm??

I can make it if its early in the day. BTW Tony were you in the Vic market area on Friday afternoon?

Come down man

I can only be there after 12pm, is that ok?

Should be allrite

Looks like Ford is getting serious about the focus with the turboed 165kw version making its way down here. It has 320 nm of Torque, 0-100 in 6.1 and a top end of 240. With the stivo's out of production its a good time for Ford to step in. Not to mention they have an awesome colour range compared to the bland toyota colours. Maybe its time for toyota to step in with the Supercharged Corolla.

Ok, just spoke to them again, you get 3 runs they provide a printout, and 30 cars is about the most they can do in a day. :D Let the battle begin.
