How do you find it? What would you like to see from what you have just read? Do you think I need to go in more pre-turbocharging section?

Looks as if a Turbo kit for a 7A-FE may well be available soon.
Check out the following thread on celica.net:

Yeah, the evo. I personally do not like them.

We have them here, even the the EVO VII from last year.

We particularly like the wrx.

USA insurance parts does not sound right.

I believe the thing is support the USA economy.

There are muscle car done there. Big manufactures would not want the import beast to show them up.

What more details would you like to see before I finish off that part?

You see, everyone where I live is very serious about engines.

So I personnally think that you must be aware of industry before you start buying part stupidly.

So to me, everything is clear.

If you have the money, buy the blitz Power Meter i-D http://www.blitz-na.com/PM_ID.htm OR the the G-TECH/Pro Competition http://www.gtechpro.com if you do not have a dyno in the area and a drag strip.

Blitz qoute:-

"The Power Meter i-D is a unique monitoring tool that measures and displays horsepower and speed. The Power Meteor i-D is one of the only units in the world that can display both standard and metric measurements. Power output can be display in HP, PS and kW. Speed can be displayed in MPH and km/h. Both power and speed can be displayed in digital and graphical form. The Power Meter id also has a Chassis Dynamo function, which plots Horsepower to Speed in a graph form."

G-TECH/Pro qoute:-

The new G-TECH/Pro Performance Meter COMPETITION is a very sophisticated, cutting edge automotive tuning instrument. Weather you want simple RPM recording or complete Data-Acquisition. As an automotive enthusiast you will find recording acceleration runs and analyzing shift points, delivered horsepower and reaction times extremely valuable. Just imagine, having all that power of knowledge right there under your fingertips any time you want it, that's the new G-TECH/Pro COMPETITION. So, no more confusion after making modifications now simply get the results "before and after".

Measurements:
Reaction-Time
0-60ft time
0-330ft time
0-60mph time
1/8mile E.T and speed
1000ft time
1/4 mile E.T. and speed
Horsepower
Torque
RPMs
Braking distance
Handling G's
Accelerating and Braking Gs
RPM vs Time Graph
HP & Torque vs RPM Graph
Speed vs Time Graph
Speed vs Distance
Gs vs Time Graph


This will help you to see what your new mods are doing.

Your reply does not have to advice, but a question that you may want answer, but do not want to post.

Either way, just drop me a line.

I am proud to announce that I have purchase the GTECH/PRO Competition Meter.

This meter is very good. After all, the pro's uses it.

It seems to be some what better that the Blitz Power ID meter(from manual).

I would advice any one to purchase this device to see how you car is performing.

I must advice you not to purchase this if you do not have intentions of tuning your car for more power.

I have spoke to Extremeboost.com on my 3SGE + T engine if I decide to go ahead with my plans.

I am getting older now, more experience in my field and I am seeing myself save towards my land and house.

Either way, this may help you on getting your 3SGE up to spec.

Just a note here. You would be surprise how an a Good air filter, exhaust w/ 2.5" up to header + fuel enrichment+good racing plugs would have your car performing.

Try it and let me know what you think.

How the hell are you supposed to see out the back window with that spoiler?

As if the rear window wasnt hard enough to see anything out of in the first place.. More of a hatchback issue though.. :/

With the size of a that wing, I'd imagine there isn't all that much 'top'.. hehehe >>

I'm just not wing-lover, IMO, unless you are racing a 150+ MPH dragster or a F1 car they are useless...

Most of them don't even look good, although that is opinion and I can't back it up >>

Well, everyone have there opinion.

The new wings I posted very resently, are very good and have low drag. Also use in JGTC.

Have better connering, stability and straigh line performance.

If you want a show car, thats your choice. If you was perf. + stability, thats your choice.

Shut to hell up and keep those opinions to yourself.

If you have some to contribute, offer it, but leave the lame word to some other thread.

New tire To the MAX Performance community.

This tire seems to have toppled the well know Bridgestone Potenza S03 Pole Position.

Will Bridgestone USA Request from Japan there new Potenza RE01 to battle against this? If I was them, I would unless some better is coming down the pipe line.

The new tire that I am talking about is the Pirelli PZero Nero.

http://www.us.pirelli.com/en_US/tyres/cata...&productid=8263
