Although something doesnt add up she is running 11psi but she has stock exaust manifold, or that could just be the heatshield, then there are stock ignition coils too, and its automatic. How does that tranny handle that power?

Looks nice, good find. Maybe she has the Starlet auto.

11 psi is "only" roughly 160 crank on the 5e DIS the auto tranny should be fine...

That's Christmas' ride, it has been around for a while. I remember seeing it a long time ago. I think it is no more sadly.

If my memory serves me correct. I believe the story was that she was cruising with a bunch of high end cars down the free way at some pretty intense speeds. When her car got too hot and something went wrong. Because it caught fire and burned up.

^ Very sad indeed...

Freebie Paseo · 10-04-2006, 09:58 PM

so exaclty how much boost can the 1.5 take 30psi?

Ahhh, back when hardly anybody knew how to tune these cars. That is why that car sucked so bad.
