So smooooth.

So smooooth.

That coming from you, just made me tingly in my man parts.



I do try to be smooth as possible, as I figure that it is nicer on the machinery (and this car is too expensive to bend or break). Also, I'm used to driving a stock 1600cc Corolla, where momentum is everything.

The cars passing me on the track video are both race cars. The Corolla "FXGT" is running a 7AGTE (1800cc + turbo), and the Starlet is a rocketship 1300cc turbo putting out about 220kw at the wheels, lapping something like 8 seconds faster than me .... the Starlet guy is also building gradually, a twin engined Starlet turbo, because he wants something he can beat Evo's in at hillclimbs on a mode regular basis. He's a bit insane.

[CudaMan]

Isn't that about typical for car guys in your part of the world though?

It isn't mandatory, but is encouraged.

Old rear rotor solid, new one not solid.

Big difference in size between old poverty spec, and new GT spec fronts.

They're so cute!

Parked just down the road from my place of work. I do like the look of these every time I see them, the promo livery on this one didn't hurt either.

That is a really cool livery. I honestly haven't been decisive enough to change much on the exterior of mine yet.

So I installed a Turbo kit last week.

Still in the tuning process, but I can tell it's going to be so much more enjoyable, right up until it blows up (then comes the LS swap)

Haven't even given it all its got yet, nevermind when I get E85 in it....

Thinking about a Crosstrek to replace it as a daily driver, and keep it as the 'fun' car only.

Get an oil cooler ... a whole bunch of the local conversions have killed engines with added boost
