Hah! find me a 350Z for 10K and I'll buy it in a heartbeat. you might be able to find one with some miles on it and a dented quarter panel or something for like 15K if you're lucky... around here there are 350s at smaller dealerships selling for around 12k with about 60,000 miles on them. I don't know about where you live. I would also like an SRT-4 too but there are kinda low in supply around me... don't really see many here. |

QUOTE(playr158 @ Oct 15, 2007 - 8:43 AM) [snapback]605002[/snapback] stagged boost control is a common function through out turbo'd cars with the proper controllers. its a universal type deal not really car specific (though you can find car specific setup applications) even Turboxs offers staged Manual boost controllers, but its not very well known/used tool/setup around these parts. oh ok, well the guy said he had to drive to ohio to get it programmed and he said the program was only for hondas so it makes sense that you have to program your standalone to have step boost ... thanks playr. |

QUOTE(Blakout16 @ Oct 14, 2007 - 4:19 PM) [snapback]604853[/snapback] he probably ment 2 step boost. which means he can mash on the accelerator on a stop and i believe it has like a redline of xxxx rpm which then cuts ignition sooner than fuel which always a bit of fuel to go thru which gets ignited in the turbo which makes it spool off the line. however, turbos dont like combustion on its blades too well and turbos tend to not last long under this condition na i know it's called step boost and i know what is does.. i sets certain PSI to different gears to prevent tire spins and you get better acceleration.. i was just wondering if someone knows anything about it for our cars? |

i was recently talking to a co-worker who has a turbo 1.5 non v-tec del sol with 191 whp. He was talking about a program called step boost that he was going to put in his car. Has anyone ever heard of this for celicas? or is it just a honda thing? |

What kind of car are you gonna get after the Celica If It doesnt come back to life? I'm not sure what I'll do.. ill see if anyone wants to buy the car and if not, then maybe part it out... as for a second car.. I haven't really thought about it... I would like an Evo or maybe a 350z? .. ill have to see what prices are around here |

I was shocked too but it didn't seem as bad when i broke it down. ahh, it's cause of the new calipers, you probably didn't need to replace them or the rear e-brake drums and cable unless they weren't working right. well the calipers seized up and the brake drums were completely gone and mt e-brake wouldn't even hold my car when i put it up.. im just hoping my front calipers don't seize up on me now |

yea i've been spending so much money on it to fix it that i don't have enough to mod it.. i was thinking of a 5sfte or a swap but everything keeps going wrong.. after spending $900 on brakes i just don't think it would be worth swapping or turboing |

Well.. i bought my celica two julys ago and pretty much ever since i bought it, things have been going wrong with it. Up to date now, I've spent about $3500 to keep my car alive and drivable. Wednesday night, i was driving home around 9 PM, my car started to bogg down and idled low and didn't have much acceleration at all. My check engine light also came on and was flashing. By then, i pulled over and called my dad. My car is in the shop now and I'm sorry to say that i will be getting rid of the car if repairs are more than $300. Ive spent too much money on this car to fix it up and it never treats me right. Don't get me wrong, i love the car but i just can't afford to be putting all of this money into it while going to college. I'm just hoping that repairs aren't too expensive this time and I'll consider keeping it. Thanks for letting me rant, This has been on my mind all week and i needed to come out. |

QUOTE(Komail @ Aug 6, 2007 - 1:21 PM) [snapback]585774[/snapback] I just drove it for about 10 more minutes and now its SMOKING UP and VERY HOTT! maybe a new rotor? that happens every time you put new pads in .. they smoke for about the first 50 miles.. i just put new rotors and pads on and the same thing happened to me.. although.. your rotor could be uneven and making it smoke because of the new pads |

well... first off.. i didnt put them on.. also.. i just found out that the rotors have a special coating to keep them from rusting and that may have cause the smoking.. also.. my e -brake was tightened too much which cause it to also heat up rapidly and smoke.. they are fine now and the person who put them on said they will smoke for about the first 15 miles.. just got the car inspected and got the e brake fixed ... new brembo rotors and mintex pads .. highly recommended .. stops on a dime .. thx for the answers btw |

is it normal for new brake pads and rotors to smoke when you stop after you just got them put on? |
