Wow, that road looks like it sucks bad. Why would anyone still drive it? BTW, where did you mount your camera at?

[Bitter]

right upfront inside the 'mouth' of the front bumper on the stock lip. a few years ago it was in MUCH better shape, its really been let go

[Stambo]

Yesterday was a great day, i saw plenty of people driving, riding bikes all over. The celi sounds good man.

Too bad i took the insurance off mine for winter already....You know how unpredictable it is in the midwest.

[Bitter]

thanks. i'm really happy with how well the engine sound is picked up. lift sounds great, even with the stock intake. i made a 'muffle' over the mic pickup with some folded cloth (cut up an old sock) and cellphane tape. low tech, but it works flawlessly.

That thing does sound pretty good. Too bad that road has gone to crap. That could have been a pretty cool video.

[Bitter]

ugh yea


the last run of the day, we had just got done hiking around, the parking lot is between the 2 halves of the road there in the video. i pulled out and went down to the river taking it easy, near the bottom theres a line of 4 guys from a honda/nissan/evo meet. evidently its a bigass midwest meet with like 100 cars or something nuts. so i see them vroom vroom vroom vroom they go past me in a tight line. i'm like 'oh ****, i'm not passing up on this' and grin at my girlfriend. i pull a fast U in the parking lot and rip back off down the road after them. i get behind a slow TL (i'm 45sec atleast behind them), we get to the straight and i'm able to pass (in a legal passing zone!). i close the gap on a red S14 and keep up with the pack through the climb up, we part ways as they all turn around to go again. i didn't want to press my luck, i got a little loose around one corner and they were flinging alot of loose gravel at the car too.

my fingers were tingling, pulse was racing, and my breathe was short. it was fun.

Holy crap, I could've sworn that was a bike in the vid (I only watched about a minute). Wow that thing sounds good.

(5:39:21 PM) Me: haah

but yes, the sound of a 2ZZ-GE going full tilt is just pure sex.

I just watched the whole thing. Secks on wheels.

[Bitter]

very much so, the 7A-FE sounds nice too though. different sound totally from the 2ZZ, they're both nice (owning both). the 7A has a deeper growl from the intake and whines different when you wind it out. the powerbands are vasty different too. the 7A has meat down in the 3000-5000 band, the 2ZZ is happy from around 4000 to 7000+.

[SwissFerdi]

I actually had a girl tell me she loved how my car sounds...and I never really paid a ridiculous amount of attention to it, but it does have a decently deep tone.

[Celiquick]

Sheer hawtness. Your car does sound pretty robust. I need to make a vid sometime.

[95st-celica]

this is not a 7a....we know this right?

you can hear what sounds like vvt-i kicking in

this cant be a 6th gen more so a 7th

cool video none the less

[SwissFerdi]

^ 7th gen GTS.

[richee3]

I know the Midwest Meet you are talking about. Believe it or not, a couple of my friends started that a few years back. Maybe you guys watched that video I posted of the guy with the teal green Honda Civic... That guy started that meet. It's grown every year. I meant to go last year, but I had no job and no monies.

Well, considering that it is a 2ZZ-GE, that's certainly more than likely.
