U guys notice something, the guy with the camry is on the forum, No one dissing him and he's not dissing us. Now why can't the HonDuh guys be that way? Keep up the good work guys, we need friends not jerkoffz.

 

Ahhh ahhh ahhh! we are being fu*king invated! Its open hunting season now baby!

 

The Honda guys aren't the ones that dis our cars, it is the VR4 guys...Have we recently had any Honda guys dissing us? If we have I don't remember it.

 

guys, gotta read the responses about this thread at the Camry board. that post about a Camry lasting 500,000+ miles makes me laugh like a ****.

must be a sore loser to drive a 500k miles car!!

I think it's http://www.cameryman.com or something, ask DOug, he knows.

My 88 V6 Camry lasted 250,000 miles and was still running strong before I got rid of it. It would have been a fine car still if I hadn't put it into a concrete wall at about 30 MPH. . . Engine still ran perfectly, only problem was the rest of the cars electrics were screwed after the first rain flooded the interior. I would have no doubt of it going on much furthur, but I wanted something else. . . The Maxima was more fun, but I have already had to do more to my car in one year than I had to do to the Camry in 3. I must say though that the stuff I had to do to my Max is general maintainence though, and some things couldn't be avoided due to poor replacement in the first place.

 

You not going to win every race you atempt.


Synki nice pic !

 

Maybe you guys don't know much about superchargers, but if this Camry had a stock exhaust like he says it did there is no way he was SC'd unless he is a complete idiot. SC+restricted air flow=blown head gaskets. You just have to face the fact that the Max is not the fastest car in the world.

 

Maybe in his eyes it looked stock..hehe not everyone puts 5 inch wide tips on their cars when they do the exhaust. You gotta watch out for those sleeper exhausts like the one TRD makes. It looks very much like the stock one.

----------------------------------------------------

Hey was i marked a "lurker" because im a camry owner or because i havent posted enough messages to be anything more? Like in the supra forums they got "miata owner" until you hit over 30 posts.

 

The TRD exhaust is pretty straight through; I have a picture (somewhere) of a flashlight being shone through. Plus it's small enough to not disturb the sleeper effect.

You are a lurker until you hit 25 posts. . . Then you become a Newbie. . . We have no idea what anything else is anymore as it was just recently changed and we are still trying to figure it out. I think 100 is Maxima Fanatic, 150 or 200 Maxima Enthusiest, 300 Maximaniac, 750 Maxima Obsessed, 1000 Maxaholic, ? Maxima Brainwashed. These are still skeptical though as some people have names that don't corrspond to their post totals.

Wow, this post is HOT! I didn't know I could cause so much trouble...especially from a small, innocent race

Maybe you don't know much about superchargers, or head gaskets. An sc can be pulleyed to increase boost by 0 psi, if that's what someone wanted; how much extra pressure/heat will that create in the cylinder? Conversely, one can pack a cylinder with enough fuel/air to blow any gasket to smithereens, regardless of what sort of exhaust system one has (open headers, whatever).

Toyota tested it's sc out very thoroughly. It delivers a modest amount of boost, which the exhaust system and gaskets can easily handle. A similar setup for Toyota trucks has been proven reliable (and warranty-able) for several years.

 

Tsong-

That has got to be one of the best import 4-door sleepers I've ever seen. I checked out your site, but I couldn't see any timeslips. What are ya running?

Dave

 

Thanks!

My best time NA was 14.8 @ 93. So far, I've managed to pull off a 14.6 @ 96, but that was with a slipping clutch. I haven't run with the ACT clutch in, yet.

I got pretty much the same car as TIEM and i posted a slip on another thread...

glok-
That is an impressive time for a close to stock Camry. I wish I could pull 2.1 60 foots. I'm stuck with in the 2.4 range with my 14.9s. Are you running drag tires or is your track just extremely sticky?

Tsong-
Same deal. Are you on drag tires or is your track super sticky? Hmmm...my best mph has been a 96.5mph, but that was on a 15.0 run with a 2.5 60 foot.


Dave

 

I was running the stock bridgestone tires that came on the car. The track was sticky but it was at night and it was cold out so it wasnt optimum. I just got a good launch on that run. My intake is whats killing me in stock form. Im gonna go back to the stock airbox with a K&N drop in to see if it helps any.

 

Nope, shiatty OEM all season Dunlops. I don't think the track was that sticky, just that everything else was going great. Car cooled down, temperature lower (here in Texas that's around 60...heh), etc. Got a 2.2x 60' on the 14 sec run.

THanks PRP. I got it on tape too.
