Welcome Aboard. Pics of Yota? You _will_ catch some haters for modding that particular car to that ($) extent… especially whle being a student. Have you used student loan money to pay for some of it? I’m assuming you’re building it to turn? Check out the Spring BBQ / Track meet. ---

Check out the Spring BBQ / Track meet. oh i already know that already. people hating on my car doesnt really bother me. its quick for what it is though. no, i have not used any student loan money to pay for it. The car was a graduation gift and i used paychecks from part-time jobs to mod it. Yes, i do have a passion for curves. 😉 once i get coilovers and some lighter wheels i will be another step in the right direction. ---

Haters be damned! I like Corolla’s. I have a secret hardon for the Corolla XRS. Just a shame about that whole no-clutch-pedal thing. 😛 So what kind of power does a 1ZZ with intake, exhaust, pulleys, cam, and a tune make? Ever dyno it? ---

Ever dyno it? ask and you shall recieve. keep in mind, car is auto, and on 18’s (yeah, i know…), also, dyno run was done in 2nd gear with Overdrive off.

Ooof, seems like the factory rev-limiter cuts in way too soon looking at that graph. Looks like it’s just starting to taper off. But big ol’ boats are quite fun to toss around. 🙂 Side topic: [This shifter rules.](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0k7xU1YSV3A&NR=1) ---

That automatic isn’t doing you any favors on the dyno, but as long as you’re having fun with it. I imagine it will handle very well when you’re done with it so it should do great at autoX. ---

I imagine it will handle very well when you’re done with it so it should do great at autoX. Deffinitly having fun with it Mike! Car has been off the road all winter, and i need to have it inspected sometime soon. i have a few questions though… what will happen to the tuning if i were to plug in the 02 sensor? what will happen if i unplug the e-manage and then hook it back up later? will the tuning that you did be lost or “deleted”? also, if i plan on getting my own wideband and gauge, should i bring it back for tuning once i get that? > [@jrod0187](#): > > I live right off of Jagow RD.
