ancullen Posted August 3, 2007 Report Posted August 3, 2007 Is it wrong of me to already be looking at performance improvements for a car I don't have and have never driven? http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi...hlink:middle:au Performance cams: 10.8mm lift 275-degree duration Stock are intake 240-degree 8.7mm lift, 236-degree 8.2mm lift. Tempting, but I think I'll wait till I get the car. Although these cams, with an aftermarket ECU and upgraded internals for the CT20B would be nice...
Pure-SX Posted August 4, 2007 Report Posted August 4, 2007 Hey all been awhile been slack lately. Well with my rolla /sigh it currently has no oil in it rofl. I am guessing a ring has decided to run away but atm I am not sure. At first I believed that it was running mega rich due to the quite strong smell after a little bit of "spirited driving" and sometimes on idle on a crappy day. But at my dismay after a nice wash I decided to check oil and guess what it was below the LOW line lol it bearly touched the dip stick. So depending on the damage I may get the current engine fixed cheaply, get a new Silvertop engine and possibly gearbox as mine is about to laugh its last laugh so to speak or go the 4agze :o:D:D. All depending on the extent of the damage. So yeah fun fun fun(spending money woot).
Pure-SX Posted August 4, 2007 Report Posted August 4, 2007 Also with the silvertop VTI doesnt really give a kick there is a noticable "power increase" at about 4-5k but nothing as extreme as a turbo or FULLY HEKTIK VTEC BRO DAT PWNZ ALL TOYOTAZ. :o Toyota owns Honda any day of week :D
ancullen Posted August 5, 2007 Report Posted August 5, 2007 Good to hear from you Steven. It may be cheaper to buy another Silvertop from down south and drop it in. And the gearbox should be easy to find a replacement for - any FWD Corolla five speed will go straight in.
wasfishing Posted August 6, 2007 Report Posted August 6, 2007 i hav the gearbox outta my wreck mr2 if ur interested.
ancullen Posted August 6, 2007 Report Posted August 6, 2007 Sorry I forgot to get in touch with you yesterday about the seat Shane. I've got a birthday party tonight and dinner at Mum's tomorrow, but could come and see you either night just after work to drop off the money and grab the seat. Whichever suits you best.
ancullen Posted August 6, 2007 Report Posted August 6, 2007 How about tonight then? I'll be heading out to Humpty Doo anyway - it's easy for me to stop by your place on the way. I'll be around about 5.15pm-ish?
ancullen Posted August 9, 2007 Report Posted August 9, 2007 Very happy with my new seat - thank you Shane. Now eyeing off other stuff to buy: Garrett GT30 turbo (or KKR 480 cheapy version), T3/T4 adaptor plate, ECU...
