[villain]

aye boy ghost you get the thing...but what you need with a zl-ve brain...you have the head?

[TurboDrive]

Villain what size did you go for the CAI 2.25 or 3". Any hesitation issues? I was thinking of building a CAI but I first have to get me hands on a toyota maf .

[FullStop]

d head...well i could get one if i want, u want it, i go link it up if u want, i considering mating d head to d zmde and controlling the svt,, the zlve cams aggressive enough?,,,and how would i go about raising d compression, want to make a b16a killa, fedup hear dem lil snat nose hodna boys talk bout they beloved b16...and anybody know where i go get a set of lightweight 16" racing rims for d 323 or what...oh and a fella recommend i send the head to get ported and polished in d states, he say they will measure airflow and make sure it equal out all of d ports, ,,those are just some of the possibilities i considering right now...lemme no allyuh opinions..and pm me d info about your cai na villain, u does get hesitation issues with it?

[villain]

Decide to paint the headlights. Seems to give a more aggressive look than the standard silver finisher. The writeup available on some protege sites and it is actually as simple as it is shown.. The aftermarket pair of headlights that just have the black finisher is around $2600TT

Fortunately a padnah has two BJ headlights put dong so i borrowed them to use in the interim.
This dont look like no 2 hour job with baking, sanding and painting....

Bumper came off easy enuf 4 clips and 7 bolts per side..

Headlights have 3 bolts each.

After removing all the rubber parts, 2 screws holding the lens and the bulb, its in the oven to melt the glue.



The wife was a bit skeptical.. more about her oven than the headlights

After 15min at bout 200F, undo clips



Pull the lens off the housing



There's 2 small screws holding the insert/finisher to the plastic lens.



Remove these and pull the finisher out and there you go...



Will sand and do a first coat paint tomorrow..

[FullStop]

yeah, flex joint and everything there,,,,welded good, ..strugglerzinc update on dat light thing, looks interestin, d wife was surprised that u use d stove or that u use it to bake a light?

[Strugglerzinc]

I quote... "don't let nutten catch fire in my oven else you buyin a new one"

[mazdamig]

that man bake a BJ light how it taste. Good too see ppl doing mods for themselves

[cinco]

nice move there stugglerz it real easy to do
and looks 100% better

[FullStop]

so, nobody get the hissing kinda sound?...i will epoxy up d egr line tomorrow and c if that help, car pulling nice though, after 80kph it runnin like hell to 120, and by then i at some blasted corner, y d flick it does have so much traffic after u mod ur car boy?

[TurboDrive]

Sounds like something either escaping or being sucked in somewhere. Put the car in park and have someone rev it for you. Then you might be able to determine where the hissing sound coming from.

[TurboDrive]

Right. I just found out that the 1zz-fe MAF new from toyota is $1866 + VAT. Not bad for a new MAF. Try pricing one from SS.

[villain]

you ask about the celica own?price? cause i try my mommy own and i find mine better and mine working better on her car... so is to try the celica own now...

well yeah it go pull good from 80 -120 cause the extractors change your power band...and unless you making a highway run...on the road we driving between 80 and 140(160 for others.. ) so that is where the power is useful to us...
if it was the 4-1 your power band would shift to top end...highway run...

i had dynoed my b14 when i put in extractors and compared it to another car...same engine that didnt...and it showed that we briefly started out together and i just jumped away...plus my torque curve was smooth..while his was jerky and fluctuating...

[FullStop]

yup d car runnin nice, it not making d soundwhen d car just idling, and i check it out, i kinda sound like it coming from by d intake manifold,,will epoxy up the weld d guy put later and see if that help, if not then hopefully when i put my 2 inch exhaust pipes and a nice straight through that will sort it out,,, villain, you had exhaust work done? about how much a good 2" will cost so, and recommend somebody na

[TurboDrive]

Check Imraj or specialist muffler in St. Madeline

[villain]

yup....

[FullStop]

where Imraj from?...will be checking both next week tuesday..thanks

[FullStop]

i will buy that maf from ebay or somn yes

[Strugglerzinc]

ghostbusters,
do the CAI first then see if you gettin the hesitation before you get the Celica MAF. I plan to do mine with 2.25 - 2.5 stainless piping. Dont think i should have MAF issues with that size pipe.

[Strugglerzinc]

anyone using the oil filter from the V6 engine? whats the number? i'd like to use the bigger filter... better filtration, flow and all that.

Goin to change oil tomorro at bout 7000km. Got me some Royal Purple 10W30.

[FullStop]

yup, i lookin for somebody to make d cai for me, i check qwkwhip, d fella say he could make it, allyuh have any experience wit them or what? or somebody gimme a address to check to get one made na?..royal purple's da real blood dread...good stuff
