Canberra - Green early Celica liftback Mon, 24 June 2002 22:04 Go to next message
Driving home last night, I came across a dark green liftback in the Weston area - It's definately not stock mechanically, just out of curiosity, does anyone know what it's running?

If that was about 9:30 or so then that'd be me Rolling Eyes It's running a 3t-gte with a ball-bearing vg30 turbo on about 14psi mounted on a custom manifold. What were you driving?

Could have been about 9:30, I can't remember now - I think it was later than that though.

I was driving my supercharged mr2.

I kind of remember driving past a dark coloured old-style mr2 along hindmarsh dr. near cooleman court (might have been black), maybe that was you. Is that with a 4agze?

Yep, that was me, it's actually grey.

I saw you give it a bit of a serve when the lights on streeton drive changed - Your car definately has a bit of go, I was just keeping station behind you. I'm used to catching up when I nail it Smile

Oh well, the new pulley shoud be here next week...

Look forward to running into you again, nothing like being beaten to spur me on to getting the car to run better. What boost does it run stock (8psi or so)? What is the new pulley going to be able to generate?

It's running about 10lbs at the moment, the new pulley should get it up around 14lbs or so. I'm not sure if the factory NA fuel pump will be up to the task though.

I only really got you off the line, once we were moving, it seemed pretty level - The instant torque of a ZE combined with the traction of a mr2 works pretty well off the line. Shame about the weight of the car though...
