Hey. You won't be able to come see the car on wensday. I've already got the car down at the shop. We started to take it appart today.

Also I might need some info on that early AE92 engine you put in. I find that it is nowhere as fast as the stock one. It seems to lose it's balls in 4th. Where as the other Corolla just flew. I'm going to give it a tune up and hope that will do some thing.

keep in mind that you now have a 2.25" cat and exhaust on there..

ie you need to get the revs up there , cuz you definitely have less torque down low now..

Hey Randy what ever happened to that owners manual?

driiift_hachiroku · 06-26-2002, 01:28 AM

Gord, do you have a full size spare that is mint?? I want one!

martiniracing · 06-26-2002, 02:18 AM

randy has had 3 of my mint full size spares hahahah.. they're mint!

mr_sinister · 06-26-2002, 09:21 AM

sorry gord, I still have it, i'll give it to you at some point..

but you still haven't answered my question, what RPM's are you shifting at??

Voodoo.Priest · 06-26-2002, 08:54 PM

Usually 3,000-4,000RPM.
Should I wait for it to go higher?
All I know is I can do a burn out in 4 out of 5 gears. Mind you this was after the tune up. Before the tune up I couldent even do a burn out. The engine is all good now. I can feel the speed that my other GT-S had in this one now. This makes me happy.

well you will feel a lot more 'pep' if you shift at 7800 rpm

but i'd reserve that for times when you're really in a hurry :wink:

mr_sinister · 06-26-2002, 11:00 PM

also, how are you doing a burn out in 4th gear??

you're probably slipping the clutch a little too much hehe

Voodoo.Priest · 06-26-2002, 11:43 PM

I didn't do the burn out my dad did. I'm still learning how to drive stick.
My dad keeps stealing my car. I think he wants one to now. LOL!
You can tell he misses 5 speed. He has been stuck drivin around the 88 Olds too long.

martiniracing · 06-26-2002, 11:45 PM

wow mr. bond, you sure learn quick. i've been driving stick for less than two years and i can only make the tires 'squeak' twice while shifting through the gears

Voodoo.Priest · 06-26-2002, 11:55 PM

Like I said I didn't do it my dad did.
But before the tune up it couldent do one at all. Seems this engine had some power after all. It just took $350 to bring it out.

speaking of shifting....derek is prolly one of the cleanest shifters i have encountered. George is prolly the quickest and jover....well put it this way...banging gears to him is an understatement. Jover pops the clutch and crashes the gates like a man possessed to destroy honda civics.
