houston
lets just say i REALLY love this car! just a shame it was raining yesterday, it kicked out of line once all day but the adrenalin was brilliant! took my mam for a spin and she wont get back in! i cant imagine what the turbos like!

Mine drinks fuel when I boot her.

didnt go very far, just been showing off a little and let my brother have a bit shot, im hoping its god for petrol if i take it easy, but i cant help myself, it sounds lovely even with standard exhaust! the police have already spotted me :ban:

I've got a spare delimiter / converter ..

whack it on your G'box and it'll make the speedo read in MPH ..

Picked mine up yesterday too, great cars aren't they. I have to agree they sound beefy as standard!
JappyBeast
They do.. altho I have a K&N, if you are in a high gear at low revs and boot it... the roar is amazing.
dawolf
Yeah an induction kit is the first thing I want to get, it must sound really sweet. What do you recommend? People keep talking about a dry kit?

Whats the Induction kits sound like on a Turbo? Does it let you here the turbo whistle more?

I had a K&N on an N/A and that sounded amazing!

Anyone?

Cheers

houston
bibbs, do i still need to change the dials? is it a hard job to put on? how much u want for it? and i dont think my licence would last with a turbo :drool:
Bibbs
I was ofered £25 for it .. but the guy never sent the cheque (look in the for sale section.)

and no about the speedo .. all you need is an MPH sticker over the KMPH one ..

Mine was soldered into the plug on the G'box .. I take it you have a rev2+? Otherwise you'll need a manual converter ..
houston
unsure about the rev 2 bit, its on a g plate, how do i check for the revision? can u tell i havent got a clue about toyotas?
JappyBeast
G plate is a rev1..
houston
thats that stuffed! anyone know where i can get dial kits then?
Bibbs
you can get manual de-limiters off several companies .. have a look in the "imoport" section on the forum ..
