hehe
just keep the wheel straight when you floor it and you will be fine. acceleration doesnt scare me anymore. i have been in too many 9 and 10 second cars. i give it a month before you turn the boost up again and leave it up. -------------------- 1994 Celica GT4 WRC Edition

Jay, that was a beautifully written review. I'm glad you're please with everything.
Also, why is the GT28RS also know as the "disco potato?" -------------------- |

I really can't wait to ride in this beast j..... I mean seriously you are only one state over... When you go to the US meet you need to swing by and when basketball season is done and finals are over I'm driving up
 Also if celiman05 can nail this awd conversion I think this would complete the car with a big break kit... Give it some thought?

As for other performance modifications, it will have to be some other car because I am done. -------------------- QUOTE(lagos @ Jul 10, 2006 - 1:55 PM) [snapback]454118[/snapback] i know your trying to do the right thing for your motor, but this is one of those times where you should just trust the guys who have had their swaps for a while and have done a ton of research into this. |

 Jay its good to hear that you are more than happy from your GT28RS upgrade How to you feel the launch compare it with the ct26....it is much harder?? "Third, and this was the biggest surprise of all, is performance downshifts. If I am cruising at 45mph in 4th gear and drop to third and punch it, the experience is absolutely breathtaking...." this must be a GREAT feeling please post a video!!!!!You car must be very impressive beacuse you are using a leathal combination here, having that great exterior look with serious horsepower

I could not spin the tires with the ct-26 without using the clutch. So the launch, like everything else, is much more powerful now. It also makes driving more challenging....and fun. I am going to try to post a video when I take my buddy for a ride. We haven't had a chance to get him out in the car yet. -------------------- QUOTE(lagos @ Jul 10, 2006 - 1:55 PM) [snapback]454118[/snapback] i know your trying to do the right thing for your motor, but this is one of those times where you should just trust the guys who have had their swaps for a while and have done a ton of research into this. |

I am looking for a nice 4wd 4cyl extended cab tacoma at the moment. The problem is that these things hold their value too well its hard to find good deals out there. -------------------- QUOTE(lagos @ Jul 10, 2006 - 1:55 PM) [snapback]454118[/snapback] i know your trying to do the right thing for your motor, but this is one of those times where you should just trust the guys who have had their swaps for a while and have done a ton of research into this. |
