Nic's Toyota 2JZ - Tercel

[tarzan]

Fully prepped drag cars and they still cant catch Jody's full body drag Supra.

But it's their first day out with the car uncle.. Where you expecting them to run 50lbs of boost and reel off a few 6 second passes?

SMH

after three passes in st.lucia jody hit 8.9....he was also in the learning process

on its maiden run the supra blasted a fantastic time...

Apples and oranges people...

The Supra was a fully running 8 second race car in the US before Jody or whoever got it.. This topic was discussed before. Not only that, but it's not as complicated as the Tercel.. The Supra has more or less a stock rear suspension & auto tranny which will shorten the learning curve.

The Tercel has NEVER seen the track since it was constructed.. You have many variables in this setup that would cause a longer learning curve. This is a full chassis - Pro Stock style race car people, not a 1300hp stock bodied Supra with stock IRS suspension & power glide

I think they did pretty good for their first outing with the car... This is probably a big leap for those fellas, so with time they'll get the hang of it.. This is a 6 second car in the making if everything is setup right and they have a good track to run on. Good job fellas!!

I think you confused with another because unless you have evidence to prove what you saying here......believe half of what you hear and all of what you know!!!

Yuh right boy... Me eh know what I talkin bout. What was I thinking

*jumps in meh crims out Almera and head back to country side*




Sometimes yuh just have to leave it as is.. SMH

car ran some more today, different things happened on every run...slowly sorting out the stuff...

btw tarzan, we didn't have the downwind pushing the tercel up the track like jodi did in st lucia,
nor was it easier to have +3 more gears to shift, rather than ONE shift


this isn't an argument, it's making trying to make sense out of a rather dumb comment.
and rotary boyz is right, its a totally different learning curve.... even the burnout was somewhat hard to get the hang of it.

no light comin to the end of the day, so the car still holds the fastest time for the event. 9.7 it is.

Ah could just hear the experts bawling "aye, wah rong wid da man boi... da man cyah jive.. He starting he bun out in 3rd and ended it in 5th.. like he eh know is fuss gear he suppose to start off een"

It would of been nice to shake it down in PR before shipping it to Trini.. That way the chassis & everything else sorted with the help of the locals.

Any pics or videos of the event?

[nigie]

WHATTTTTTTT.....what ever variables peeps want to attribute to the cars performance over the weekend .....i wondering with all the experienced mega power that went to grenada .....he holds the fastest car time for the event....hummmmmmm
Congrats ...to nic and his entire team

[gt4tified]

wayzzzzzzzz.....ah wonder if he interested in a trade?

Lolz.

You're sure right. Too many keyboard experts! You don't have training for that level so head back to the country side!

[mr. mindz]

Nice setup guys NA 2jz will make some good power have fun with it guys.

they didnt use that engine for this event.....

this was the 2JZ-GTE that was used in the escort.

highly impressive for a Bamboo Engine under Microtech btw.

i think the 9.7 was pretty decent for a first time i that class of machine...i honestly expected worse, not from the platform but from misuse of it...

whats more interesting, is, the motor intended for the mutant tercel is supposed to be an n/a 2jz? and not the boosted lump in the pics? DO TELL...

[calleocho]

lol.... check ting hya.

well done nastiness and team.
did great with small boost...

[Bezman]

lol anything below 11's real impressed me

(this may be a 7 sec car on the right track, but allot to learn/handle on a poor track)

did they make any runs with the front hood/fender/clip/aero on?

this would contribute allot to stability, time, traction etc...

impressive

[BlueIce]

too many fan boys out there think that its as easy and making a meelion whp and doing a 1 sec pass on the first try.

9.7 is respectable and im glad the owner didnt get taken by the hype and push the car too hard. Well done.

[cinco]

nah dan he supposed to go all out first run and destroy the car and himself
very respectable first run
has he even experience sub 10secs before?

[Rooki3]

[/not impressed]

[Sinister_Audio]

so we data logged the car YESTERDAY (yes monday) when no1 was at the track, jut before we left to head to the port....

apparently the car did 9.7 on 9psi....

now THATS one for the haterz

we learnt a TON of things about the car this meet, but unfortunately this car will not return to grenada due to inappropriate track conditions... the car simply outperforms the track conditions...

it should be heading to possibly curacao later on this year to clock some better times... the car did better passes than the 9.7 on sunday, but the timing system was PHAWKED.... so no slip...

[Sinister_Audio]

i also forgot to mention the car was not dyno tuned

[2 Towers Distribution]

The car did pretty well, congrats to the team

[TriniGT]

/thread, no dyno figures no care . Dyno Queens FTW!!!!

But seriously 9psi and 9.7 WTF will tell my friends in Curacao to look out for the bullet.

[A172]

if that was 9psi that's amazing

Sinister you datalogged the car?

[Rooki3]

good job sinister

[Sinister_Audio]

well i was hoping for the camera to catch it on the dash but checked back and got none

but it damn well stood out on the microtech log... checked it twice actually....

[Rooki3]

respectable time, well done on your teams accomplishment!!!

[A172]

well i was hoping for the camera to catch it on the dash but checked back and got none

but it damn well stood out on the microtech log... checked it twice actually....

oaaarrrr yuh meant yuh flim it....when yuh say "we" i well say you actually datalog the car, my mistake

anyways....very good results there, wish there were better conditions@ the track for those guise
