OMFG!! that car is FAST my friernd had a vacum solenoid disconnected, so we plugged it back up.. OH CRAP...see now.... I must have a ze not matter what! yes yes I kniow I may be crazy../but this is gonna be my new goal... get a good ze. He even beat a pgt with a ze in it and my frind is uising the 1.8 ecu and stock fuel pump, stock mani. I could imagine the gains with a millenia manifold and ecu...

You think Hector is just a little bit pumped up here. Quick, someone through him into a 4 point harness and strap him in before he explodes...LOL
Just a wee bit excited are we Hector? :lol:

I must admit I got pretty pumped up too after picking up the car from the shop after the ZE swap.

yes Im VERY excited..lol I even started working overtime at work..i HAVE to pay off everyone that I owe first to get this started..I give it.. 3 - 5 months. planning on running first with k8 manifold (doh) and stock wiring..as seeing as my friernds is fast as f*** for the meantime. But yeah thats my Number 1 goal for my car...whats with the kfze... is that a good engine to have?

kfze is 40hp and about 15tq better then k8. But definitely save a little longer and get a klze. Don't buy from osaka though, those bastards dont know how to run a business.

:werd:

I almost got mine from there, but someone else bought one right before I did and went through hell with them. Not a good rep. on this board.

yes Im a witness to that speed... he has stock mani and ecu..and really IS fast..i would imagine him faster if he had millenia manifold and ze ecu..the ecu he had was busted..but his k8 has been serving well, also stock fp. I cant wait to see it when its all in. Those celica seats are comfortable!

must be something wrong with the track....I NEVER saw a ze with all the bolts on hit the 13's with no internal works. the ones I saw was spraying. maybe it's the semi slicks :shrug:
