I think something is just shorting out when it gets wet. Clearly something Toyota should address since it happens to everyone, but it’s incredibly annoying!
I bought a civic type r from them with 4k miles on it when dealerships were selling them for 42-45k new. I paid like 37k otd which was a steal. This was back in 2019 before the used car market went crazy. I did a trade in value for my Supra (20 with 12k miles), and they only offered 48k, which...
thanks man. I’m with you, cooling is absolutely a priority. It’s easy to get greedy chasing that extra mph or two especially when you’re a competitive person. It blows my mind what the b58 is capable of with relatively simple bolt ons.
As you’d expect, IAT’s were extreme on the top end. Right before crossing the line in 7th you could really feel the car start to pull power. There are definitely cooling mods coming in the near future. And I hear you on being content…after every major purchase I tell the wife “after this I’m...
I was more focused on data logging for my tuner than messing with the dragy. Maybe next time when I run with better traction. The car should put down around 700whp.
And yeah NFZ is a standing start now, which is nice since it keeps it a true 1/2 mile.
Thanks! I was pretty stoked especially with it being my first time. First run of the day was 171.3, backed up by another 171.3 later in the day.
Traction was a major issue throughout the day. I left the drag pack at home since I’m on stock axles and didn’t wanna end up stranded in Arizona. I...
I’m doing my first half mile event this weekend with Omega Motorsport in Gila Bend, AZ. I searched but didn’t see any threads specific to half mile racing here.
What kinda mph are you guys running in the 1/2? I’m expecting mid-high 160’s with my current setup but I’m keeping my fingers crossed...
im willing to bet that’s it. Depending on what the weather has been like in your area since you washed it could be a factor. Sometimes it’s just one side, sometimes it’s both sides (mirrors / windows / etc).
This happens about 50% of the time when I wash the car. There was a thread on here a while back with people experiencing the same thing. Usually fixes itself within a day.
Does this improve flow? Just ditched my tomei single exit for the stock catback because it was too loud. I love how quiet it is in normal mode on the freeway but wouldn’t mind a little bit louder.
Update:
I reluctantly brought the car to Toyota, as my go to bmw / zupra shop has been too busy to take a look at it. They acknowledged the sound but couldn’t narrow down what the cause was. They did say that while driving it sounds as if it’s coming from the rear, but they had a tech stand...
Pure800, PI, reflex, downpipe, e85 would get you there. But as it’s been mentioned and I’ve said before, build the trans. I thought I could run a pure turbo and dial the power down, but that didn’t work out. I did the pure stage 1 trans upgrade pretty much away because it was slipping like...
