it's all about teh ratios

6 speed roadster box, is just teh same as teh 5 speed with an overdrive

Anonymous · December 2, 2006, 19:17

that's a fair question, and i don't know the answer

Anonymous · December 4, 2006, 04:20

what do people think about the power fc being able to adjust to the removal of the exhaust bung?

will it need a remap?

benefit? probably

As I'm considering going 2zz myself I've been looking for an engine and today have been offered a 2zz engine and 6 speed box both from the same Celica with 7000 miles on them for £1900. For another £150 they will supply the loom and ECU.

What's does anyone think about the price? Is it reasonable or would I be paying too much?

Also if I decide not to have it does anyone else want pointing in the right direction!

dieamond · December 6, 2006, 20:05

it's a good price if it's a certified mileage and that you have a 6 month waranty

take the ecu, but you don't need the loom

check if the engine has some good ancilaries :
flywheel not too rusted, plugs, coils, damaged oil pan, etc

Just wondering if gavman or Rogue fancied posting the dyno plot ?

Would be interesting to see it.

Anonymous · January 3, 2007, 15:44

sorry, chaps

i'll get on the case for a dyno plot

one issue

tyres now last 1 month

gav

ps rod says 1bar @3000rpm on the gtr

does that prove me right or wrong?
can't remember
all i know is last week i went out in it for the first time,
and it almost tore my head off, so it all seems a bit academic now

think i might've overdone it....and she's not mapped yet s:shock: :shock: s:shock: s:shock: :shock: s:shock: :

How are you getting on with the reverse/first gear issue Gav? Is it something you just get used to or do you still feel it would merit a bit of development?

I've been speaking to LittleRocket on SC and he thinks the has the answer and would like to test it out. I think it involves swapping some selector parts (a spring & cover?) from the 6 speed Roadster box onto the Celica box. The problem is he's having trouble identifying the part numbers he needs to order as the 6 speed Roadster was never offered for sale in the USA. I've tried to locate an exploded diagram of the Roadster box with part numbers for him but so far I've had no joy finding one s:(

hey steve,

i feel further development would be in order

i have got used to it, but by this i mean i now select first and slip the clutch a little to confirm selection, before the traffic lights change.

this does make it a little harder to get the drop on people though, as you've just woken them up/ distracted them from their phone call

plus i now do what i used to criticise my girlfriend for, i.e. sit at the lights with my foot on the clutch and the car in first s:oops: :oops: s:oops:

My 2 driving instructors (one went off to play darts professionally!!) told me that this is how you should sit at lights anyway. First gear, clutch down, handbreak on.

you're joking?

is that true?

aaronjb · January 5, 2007, 13:17

Sure, if you'd like to:

a) Kill your release bearing in record time
b) Crash into any car in front of you should you be hit from behind (natural reaction will be to lift off the clutch, and you'll lurch forward/stall)

Anonymous · January 5, 2007, 13:24

that's what i thought...

Anonymous · January 5, 2007, 13:27

can't say i'd be happy relying on my handbrake to stop me if my foot slipped

and

try doing that with an HKS clutch in traffic

you'd end up walking in circles

as you'd totally overdevelop your left leg!

edward.carter · January 5, 2007, 13:54

i was taught as i presume most on here were stop handbreak neutral ...

filcee · January 5, 2007, 14:55

OR: (filcee method(c)(tm))
Right foot on brake, wait for lights to change, apply handbrake (holding the button in), apply throttle & let go of handbrake. SMT rules! s:-D :-D s:-D

Must learn to left-foot brake though s:-? :-? s:-? s:-P :-P s:-P

Anonymous · January 5, 2007, 17:18

easy when you've got no clutch
