I was driving towards home on Route 21 today and apparently I made some riced out Accord (semi-fart can, altezza tails, somewhat dark tint) want to race me because he was weaving in an out of traffic to catch up to me while I was cruising at 70. I know it was Inline 4, but as for the year, no...

Read topic. I want a number that'll give me a balance of power/safety. EDIT: AFR = Air Fuel Ratio :)

I usually see everyone going for summer tires, and the reviews I've read on this forum are mainly summer tires. Anyone have opinions on good all-seasons?

How do you guys react when you see one driving on the road, either the other way or on the road near you, etc? As bad as this may sound, I tend to ignore them completely. I'll keep the reasons for that to myself though :P

SAFC vs VPC+GCC+FCON Which do you feel is better? What are the advantages/disadvantages of each? Do not factor in cost. :D

http://craig.backfire.ca/pages/autos/horsepower Good stuff. Especially cause I hate the saying "Horsepower sells cars. Torque wins races" or whatever it is. EDIT: I self-moved it to OT from Gen Discussion.

For both turbo and N/A purposes, are there any advantages? I'm not too good with these types of engine concepts so knowing this would be nice. I don't understand the whole high revving craze and I have no idea why it could be advantageous. What's the point of losing torque to gain revs, etc? If...

I'm looking to add this info to the N/A Upgrade FAQ above this topic. So I'd like to know how you are supposed to fix the ACIS if it stops working? If you can, be as specific as possible, thanks.

I saw this on a Scion TC website (don't ask why I looked :D) Post up comments. We need a good discussion going on around here. Reason I posted this was because of all the backpressure myths and I wanted to see what everyone thinks...this also relates to the whole modifying headers and stuff too.

If the stock Throttlebody is so restrictive, why do people bother upgrading their intakes, or changing out their filters? Is it just to get a new filter to keep things clean, or do they actually think it will help performance (or will it really help performance)? Just wondering.

I want to go 1JZ, but if I do, I do not want to deal with the trouble of the stock twins. My conclusion is that it is luck which decides that they will blow or not, so I don't want to go through the trouble of it. What is the best path to take? I am not aiming for massive power. For now, around...

Are there any good 3 inch exhausts that wouldn't be too loud on an N/A? aka not an RSR GT2 Exhaust. :)

It's been awhile since the old N/A Upgrade FAQ was written, and I think it's time to write a new updated one that's more accurate, now that we've found a little more information. I'll list the modifications and stuff in "stages", 1 being the first thing you should do, and the highest number...

I need to know, cause I have to replace mine. (I'm N/A, but I have a spoiler, so I need turbo trunk struts) The Part #'s are: 68906-14030 68906-14050 68906-19016 It's one of them, I don't know though.

What are the advantages/disadvantages of each? Is there any real noticeable difference in handling, etc.? Please end this debate for me :)

As weird as this may sound, I want to disable it. Does anyone know how? I glanced over the TSRM quickly, and didn't find a category that would relate to the alarm system. (glanced, not thoroughly checked, I might have missed it).

Topic :D

I know next to nothing about sound systems, except the one I have now is pretty bad and the speakers are blown. Does anyone hear know what I can do to get a decent quality sound without having to buy an amp? I don't want to add that much weight, etc. I hear I'll need speaker pods from a 91+...

I was looking around cause I was bored, and I found a site where a VG30DETT front clip (engine+5 spd tranny) was 1500 bucks, much cheaper than the 1JZ clips. It makes me wonder, why has no one experimented with this idea yet? Is it because people refuse to put a nissan engine in a toyota, or...

Anyone have any good info on them? Stiffness, ride quality, stuff like that?
