So if thats the case, then technically the 0-400m should be more like low 15's maybe even high 14's?

Heheheh a commie!!! i mean DA DA!!!!! :D

Peekay has more than 103kw, trust me ive been in his car, he would leave most if not all of us behind. Every dyno is different, ive seen his dyno sheet, and his car wasn' tested in shootout mode, if it were,it would spit out 125+.

;) Ohh man not this again, just chill it guys.

You gota know your limits mate!!!!!! :P :P a little bit out of our league :D :D

Hmmmm that sorta explains why the scooby didnt blow me off when i landed in lift 1-2.

heheheh, do you think she had a CAI!!, i mean did she have nice big luscious lips? :D :D My ex thinks i broke up with her because since i got my car i was spending more time with the car than her. I told her, you want me back? i wanna hear you scream like my rolla at 8000rpm, she hung up on me!!!

Nah mate not quite :P , although you can feel the sucking motion better

I think your a clown!!!!! :o :o :P :D :D , it's all good man, takes alot to get me offended. I tell you something though, ive had a few vaccum jobs in the car, and they sucked harder than my cold air intake

What!!!!!!! do you guys know how to drive manual??? you only really need 1st for takeoffs once the car is completely still, even then you can take off in 2nd, you just gotta rev it around 3 grand before you let the clutch go, i reackon the car is a real beaut in slow traffic, it's the only time other peole have the opportunity to check the car out :D

Yeah it should fit fine, im still hiding 3 porn DVD"s and a pair of handcuffs under there, along with a pack of ansell. Hmmm might vaccum the thing tomorrow B)

Nah guys, you are all way too greedy.I would just buy a real blonde playboy model, not the crappy blow up ones, and get her to permanently look after the leather trim and the 6 speed knob. and any of you guys that want to go for a spin. I'd make sure she's a real screamer after 6 grand just like the car :D

I dont see the big deal, all that a CAI is , is a pipe with a pod and the hole for the airflow sensor. I cant see how much research has been put into it, heck if i had the choice again i would probably do it myself too, but theres too much stuffing around with pipes etc. As for power gains? depends on the weather, on cooler night more power of course, but you get used to it. I wouldnt know unless i took on a stock system. The sound is definetly throatier, especially when the engine is cold.

Classic!!!!!!! so your CAI doesent do a good job then?? she swallow yet?

Man, dont waste your time, i mean if you gona go all the way get a CAI. Shortram intake will suck more air, but it will be warm engine air. If you dont already know, colder air is more compressed, therefore when it hits the combustion chamber it will give the car more power as there is more air. Ever driven an ordinary saloon, you can feel it's got more ballz on a cool night, coz the air is thicker(compressed). But hey, it's your choice dude :D

HAHAHA DANZ you tightass :D good work man, do you feel any performance improvements? I mean does it feel any better after 6 grand :P :P , just kidding dude :D.

A remus would be nice, but how much more power is it likely to create?, i mean 315 euros is about $A500 plus shipping, still beats $850.

The stivo is made is SA as Peeks said, thats why toyota can afford to price them soo cheaply due to the foreign exchange rate, etc, and why Holden have to charge 40+ for a Turbo Astra since they are a German made opel, and the currency exchange is not as good with the euro. It's why the stivo was gona be a hit from the start, because at the end of the day 10 grand in your pocket is alot and performance differences between the hot hatches isnt that much, i mean were talking 1-2 secs at most, surely that cant justify 10 grand. Take Note Illuminati.

Yeah Peeks is spot on, ive seen the man in action and the hand hardly moves when switching gears, pitty the geraboxes are soo notchy.

You guys realise that thing reached almost 100mph in very little time. it reached 60mph in around 5 secs, that thing hammers.

I like how they call it a cult car :D

OK, ive stopped using optimax after my 3rd tank. It made the car weak, and i had problems shifting in high rpm and low rpm, i mean it was hard. I used up that tank, i nearly went to toyota to throw the keys into their face. I filled up with Mobil synergy, and the car was soo much different, smooth, easy to shift, power back etc. Bad fuel puts more strain on engine components, increases vibration, harder to shift. Ive used Bp ultimate, its ok, but synergy 8000 is the fuel i always use, id rather ***** in the tank then use optimax. Thats my personal opinion, you guys use what you like, but anything under 98 octane, not for me.

210 in my stivo, still in 5th with about 600rpm left

Youre looking at 40+ on road, way too much, only 4 bangers, youre getting into the xr6 territory with those prices, but thats up to you. About the gearbox? not everyone has problems. By the time you make up your mind, they might have a new model out :P :P just kidding.

I hope you guys arent using Optimax ;) .Im pretty sure toyota wouldnt make a gearbox that cant handle those revs, just dealers that might have too many costumer complaints and cant handle them all. The only reason for hard shifting would be caused by vibrations at those high rpm, i'm not a mechanic but there is quite alot of stress and strain at those revs. Mine is fine just sometimes dodgy on the 2-3 shift, it sort of jolts back like a horse. It's definetly not a smooth gearbox, by any standards. Keep hastling them, these complaint will be eventually resolved, the car is under warranty. If redline is at 8200, then you should be able to change at those rpms in every gear. I feel for you guys, coz my box is pretty good, no hastles soo far. Keep Complaining, something will get done!!!
