I need more time to think

Paint the engine cover and battery tie down yellow and get a yellow shift ****. Dont think, just do...

fun173

Yellow shift ****, yes. Where and what will fit?

Painted engine, No.

Scion202

less arguing....more modding

KidJustin

paint everything yellow

Won't be big bird without some yellow wings. Upgrade that spoiler!

Scion202

turn off the ECO haha

and dont forget to put premium gas in it. dont believe it, ask Ted

so does the intake sound like $200?

fun173

Never!





I love the spoiler! I chose black because I think it goes well with the rims, mirrors, grille and a pillars. However, I do like the cleverness of your post.

I put 89 in it. Can't turn off Eco unless I step on it?

I think the intake is absolutley worth $200.

Just got reminded of my old car byt the "Cleopatra" build thread so i thought i'd post a pic of it.

scroll through odometer/ mpg/temp. when you get to Eco just push in the pin and hold. no more stupid green light!

91 at least!

fun173

Thanks. Does turning it off have any effect on MPG or is it just a BS light. And what does 91 do for the car? Doesn't it take 87?

Scion202

Light turns off when you exceed whatever RPM they set. that's it. stupid phukin useless ****

takes 87! but with premium gas you have a more controlled combustion plus its has less crap in it cuz its higher octane(like more flamable) so everything burns off.....

Result:

Car feels much quicker, the VVTi kicks in faster

Car sounds better

Car feels more solid cuz there is less combustion related vibrations


Lotta ppl on here will call BS on everything I said. Just try it and be prepared to be blown away. Me and Ted had a long convo about this. After using 93 for a while and fueling up with 87 the car simply feels sluggish

Alright, I'm going to let the tank run low then next time I fill it up I'll try it with premium.

I'll just call BS on some of the stuff you said

-Premium gas doesn't have less crap in it/will not burn cleaner, the additive package is usually the same between grades (the gas station you go to affects this way more than the grade of gas)

-I highly doubt it sounds any different

-The only reason there would be additional vibration with lower grade gas is if there was knocking, which should not happen since the car was designed to run on 87 octane gas and the ECU would retard the timing to avoid knocking anyway

-If the ECU is also designed in such a way that it can advance the timing past the normal point for 87 octane gas, you would see an increase in power with higher grades because higher octane gas requires more energy for detonation (the cause of knocking)

Summary: use what ever grade of gas makes you happy and if the ECU can adapt to make better use of it, it will.

hey where did you get the engine cover from?

fun173

Ebay. It was just a one time thing though and i got it for $55 luckily. Save a search and there's bound to be more sometime soon.

Errikos

thanks ill keep my eyes peeled because 115$-130$ ehh not feeling it found it on a toyota parts website http://www.trademotion.com/parts/201...iagram=8522247

fun173

Yea, I was shocked I got it so cheap. I had set my high bid up to like $85 and still did not expect to get it.
