whew.
a whole day of caliper installation
and a/f gauge wiring (fail)

car sounds and is running smooth and fast.

a/f gauge is being a bitch and so are the people at prosport.
they deny that their product could be defected and that it is my faulty wiring

dyno next week

[Stambo]

I have the same problem with prosport. The day i got my boost gauge it was off 3psi now its off by 5-6psi. They won't work when on acc. but have both red and white back lights on.... They say the boost gauge is off cause of elevation. I just laughed at hung up the phone since i'm not even 1000feet above sea level.... Bastards

[Rusty]

have you got a video of it running smooth? cant wait for the dyno

[Tigawoods]

re-wired the gauge and again. it works when it feels like working. whatever haha

i will try to get a good video of it. i dont feel like using my video cam but i just got a new phone so ill try that out first.

dyno is this week. im excited for the numbers.
photoshoot as well.

[jordisonjr]

DEFINATELY can't wait for this photoshoot haha, I've always loved your pictures.

[Tigawoods]

im trying to figure out where i want to do it first.
i have a few special spots in mind ive been saving.

also before the dyno ive been trying to tune the car a bit.

it seems to be running decent so far, until when i lay down say 40% throttle +
then it goes rich and the A/F jumps to 12.5 then to 10.0

i have the SAFC Corrected to -7% @ 3200rpm then gradually curves up to -19% @5800rpm
idk what to do to lean it out any more.

[4-eyed-freek]

my gauge jumps like that to, untill about 4.5k and then it stays stiil in one place. i have always been wondering if it was the gauge but i guess more than just my car is doing it.

[Tigawoods]

gauge is doing a bit better.

took a couple shots. it rained so i couldnt do a shoot

full exhaust system connected??? how 'bout a good sample vid of some pulls on a "private" street I wanna hear this bad baby

[Stambo]

Tiga, i would just like to say, I think i did better auto crossing with my 7a than the 3s. Being hung over had a little bit to do with how i did too. With the 7a i could just hold it at the floor and turn since it had no power. Now I gotta get used to the 3s.

its all back on. im planning on redoing the whole mid section of the exhaust. dunno when but its going to happen. with another surprise on the planning process.
basically an unnecessary mod. but i want it.

snow plowing a bit now? its just the stock ct26 right? shouldnt give you problems. maybe some new sticky tires.
keep me updated! i want to see how you think it compares. next time without the booze lol


took off the wipers to paint em and im liking the removed look.
of course the two days i go out for a drive with them off itd rain lol











So i am in the process of writing out a short film of my car.
havent done anything video in a long while.
since the car is basically done. i think it is a better time than any.
i think that i should wait till i get my exhaust finished though.
dont expect it to be done anytime soon. still in the planning stages

[95st-celica]

ahhh, young son, soon you will learn, that you will NEVER be done with your car.

theres aways something to fix, remove, customize, SOMETHING.

when your done with your car, is the day i hit the lottery.

How you like the dunlops tiga? I am thinking about getting a set of those or the new bridgestone potenzas

[4-eyed-freek]

are you going to be going to the sep. 18th autocross, i have buddy with a 6th gen. thats comming with me.

[Stambo]

i should be, i made it to the aug 15 one

[Tigawoods]

I forget why I got the direzzas over the potenzas but there was a specific reason. Go for the dunlops. Haven't had a single problem with them so far. Another question. Should I race with a blown shock? I've been driving with it on there for the past 2 months. KSport still hasn't gotten the replacement in yet.

[Stambo]

Why not, one corner will just be a bit bouncy

[4-eyed-freek]

how did that go? and hopefully i will c ya there(celica party whoooo!)

[Tigawoods]

well...last race of the season is 2 weeks away.
2 day event i am really pumped. First race with the cams in!!!
Exhaust turned to crap. I think the resonator has crapped out on me, so i momentarily disconnected the exhaust until i get it fixed.
Money has been tight since i got back to school lol so im really pushing to get it finished before the race.

wanted to get the coilover fixed, still havent.
should i wait till later to have it fixd by them (send it out)
or have them ship it to me and have a shop disassemble it and fix it.

[whatthe]

Did you end up doing a dyno with the cams?
