Justin Bingo good memory DopeCelica it cost me in the area of $10K. Ryangts as I said in answer to your PM. No I haven't raced the car and I won't so I don't have any time slips. If the weather here on the Jersey holds up I'll be in my shop next week like I've been trying to do for the past 3 weeks to put the final touches on tunning. I'll post a dyno then for all to see.

What kind of tuning are you talking?

He is tuning his Piggyback ECU, you would have to tune the A/F ratio to as close to factory specs so not to throw a CEL and to keep the ECU from readjusting and going crazy. Tuning is done in dyno shops where they have a dyno machines and sensors to measure what your engine is doing, this is a good thing to do whenever you do extreme mods.

so.....you do not race?.....You may well have one of the best set up gt-s's , and no racing?....LOL I am not a racer either....For some reason , I have no desire to zoom a head of some other guy next to me....which is mystifying to some..especially since my 1zz is under boost...Instead , I find simple pleasure in swift accelerations, top end speed, and other joys of speed on the road....Everyday I drive to work on some hilly back road along the San Andreas Faultline....It is a lonely road...and a complete blast, that briefly winds along for about 7 miles...as it book ends my day to and form work... I guess I am more of roadster-type , than a racer.

I asked if I could bring the ZO6 and race the imports, the answer was no! Didn't hurt to ask. A do get pleasure when a ricer pulls up to me in the Celica on the open highways and booost and wave goodbye though:chuckles: :naughty: :bowdown:
