Paul at Anything Racing in Capalaba does a lot of Carb stuff: https://www.facebook.com/AnythingRacing/

I've done them in both steel and aluminium. Steel's a bit easier to weld mount lugs etc onto so you have a clean face, alloy's a bit easier to work with in terms of cutting/shaping. This one's steel...

I'm waiting for the VNB to be released so it's a bit more formal

[jasonp1977]

yes, have just swapped in a C38-91 to try and get a bit more efficiency in terms of charge temp, increasing from 25-30psi on the previous C38 came along with a 20-30deg increase in intake temp post intercooler....

we're running a fairly weak mix of redline water wetter in a 300kw atw 1.8L 2zzge which used to get hot and push coolant at lakeside. One of the nice things compared to the Toyota LLC mix it used to run...

good to know, I've budgeted 90K for my 18x11x4.5 and hoping it will come in a bit under, flat block with no levelling or retaining required

[jasonp1977]

That was an initial thought, but the cars don't move all that fast when summoned compared to the damage it did. Didn't hear too much more about it or see if they were able to get the CCTV

There's quite a lot of people in my team at work that have Tesla's, was an amusing post on our whatsapp group at the start of the year about one that malfunctioned and did a bit of damage in one of our...

yeah, I believe it would be better value with factory fitted LSD's compared to fitting aftermarket. At 1.2-2.2K each for the diffs depending on type/brand along with labor/setup to build the diff and...

which option pack adds Y1.2Mil? The high performance spec is an additional ~Y600K and you get the better seats, rims, rubber etc

[jasonp1977]

the clutchpack is for the front-rear split, in the higher performance spec it gets torsen LSD's and the torsen is geared 1% higher in the rear

[jasonp1977]

I like that the digital speed readout can go higher than 199

[jasonp1977]

good to see the breakdown and options between the base and high performance specs. Now to see what Toyota Aus decides to give us. Active Noise Cancelling in a Yaris would be amusing

[jasonp1977]

with the input from their world champion rally team, I'd guess it will handle fairly well

[jasonp1977]

I'd like one, but not prepared to buy one until I have a hoist in the shed for the maintenance

[jasonp1977]

just noticed on the toyota news release that there's a pov-spec seat too, so I guess that's what Australia will get. The one without the harness holes: https://global.toyota/en/newsroom/toyota/30976...

[jasonp1977]

I've budgeted 50K for one, wouldn't surprise me if they're released at WRX pricing

[jasonp1977]

The Japanese video posted earlier in this thread had a good run through the interior, be interested to see if Toyota Aus downgrade that in any way: https://youtu.be/zHuagkhlKqM?list=FLY7a-9fnLa-5TL5G...

[jasonp1977]

was going to say, the knock sensors are on the intake side of the motor. Toyota uses a fibreglass type sheath with silicone style outer on stuff in hot area's they can't avoid running wires. It's similar...

[jasonp1977]

Problem you'll find is that the majority of "off the shelf" fast response sensors are too short for the stock 2J location (and also too small a thread pitch). NZ EFI sell an extended reach fast...
