Sorry guys,
I have to pike out of race day on Tuesday, too many orders to fill. I won't be able to make it until after Christmas, rest assured I will be at the track every opportunity from Jan-March which is my 'quiet' time.

Zuffy - have to dissagree with your note that gains are only at 5500+

My dynobum says SIGNIFICANT TORQUE gain right across
the range - I actually thought that with reduced back pressure
that losses in the sub-3000 rpm with gains as you describe
would be the order of the day, but surprised to say that
the vehicle feels much stronger all thru and certainly less
asthmatic at the top as you say.

Adds extra to an already grunty engine - never had an engine
that can pull the way it does from 1000 rpm - I've got a
couple of "test tracks" around Ncle - and my HSV 5L iron
wedge was not this tractible.

Best advice to anyone CONTEMPLATING PURCHASE

GO FOR IT ! ! !

(but wait a few weeks for upgrade.)

 

So anyone went to Wakefield on Tuesday? If so, then how did you go .... anyone measured the lap times or noticed their top-speed on the straight? How did the car feel?

 

There didn't seem to be any interest after Zuffy reported his binggle on the site, so I didn't go.

 

i was sick on the day anyway!

And as ky350 said, I had a run-in with a truck. The repair bill is only $14800.
That should be my turbo money...alas, tis not so!

 

ZUFF - got to disagree - torque gains RIGHT ACROSS THE BOARD.

See my post somewhere else.

Torque gains seem more significant in this already torquey
engine - and you can feel the extra "urge" in normal
everyday driving.

FROSSTY

 

The repair bill is only $14800.

That's some fairly major damage!!!
Any photos of a truck parked in your boot - driver obviously didn't realise how small the Z boot is!

 

Nothing structural...it just looked worse than it was!

I'll have it back in a week or so..

 

Holy #$%* Zuffy!!!

Sorry to hear the bad news, but I'm glad you're okay.

I've been up the coast on holidays and I come back to this.

Anyway all the best with the repair and all. Let us know how you go.

 

What do you know I'm getting my car back tomorrow.

After a whole month without my car I feel like i'm just picking one up from the dealer. It's had a full body paint job too, so it's looking "perty".

Better order some Zaino asap.

 

Eggggggsellent!!!!
Bet you've been hangin' for a drive. What have you been gettin' 'round in in the meantime? Did they give you a loaner?

 

yeh... a new 1.8l toyota corolla!

LOL

 

I heard there was a new kick-a$$ version of the corolla. Too bad you didn't get that one.

 

I doubt there will ever be a 200kw Corolla anytime soon.

Till then it's just a car you get at the smash repairs. I was impresssed that they gave me a new car (well it had 4k kms on it).

I should have some pics to post of the repair job when i pick the car up. I hope they have one of it completely stripped down.

 

The new Corolla had I think in the range of 147??? kw

Have seen pics of a stripped 350 before - was a bit disturbing. how do you spell "baaaaaaaaaarf"?

 

Got my car back..... man, i must have gotten too used to the thing.

I feel like i just bought the damn car, and it has power too. I never recall it being this fast!

WTF!!!

 

Good to hear you're back on the road. Watch out for trucks
