Post free performance tips Options

[rocky2006]

Post anything for free (or very little money) that will help keep Celi's performing theyre best. To get it started, how do I take the slack out of the acceleration cable to insure im getting WOT when i floor it?

[x_itchy_b_x]

ride close behind cars to stay in their air thing draftin or whatever. that helps... lol

[Ale_lock]

Drive downhill & also for more hp, have someone behind the car blowing on it.

[Defgeph]

put ur windows up while driving on the highway !

well, you could take out ur ac and power steering pumps.
Get some smaller belts, you should notice a difference.

later

Poor Rocky can't get any straight answers.

The answer is methodical oil changes, regular tune-ups, not overly beating on your car, and addressing problems before they become big.

Weight reduction is free...you could take out your sub, but I'm not sure if you'd want to do that.

There really aren't too many free or very cheap ways to get more power out of our cars...

[scorpian3243]

Find the the biggest fan in your house. Strap it to the top of your car and wire it to the battery. That should at least look like you tried to be cheap on performance. Just Kidding.



Oh and when someone asks what the hell it is. Tell them it is a custom turbo! ..................HaHa!

[fastgt]

[boosted_K2]

horsepower isnt cheap.

some ways to free up wasted HP on your vehicle:
Weight reduction
remove EGR system
gut cat(s)
remove A/C and powersteering
and most importantly learn to drive the car better

[celicaspeed]

Boosted k2 ! There finally is someone here that nows what I am saying!I tell every body the samething and they dont listen then they ask me why my car is so fast.I take out things I dont need and I dont spend my money on lights and stickers! I dont drive a rice ride like the honda owners.Look at me I have a civic sir.130 hp and i put blue light in thats 20 hp!!! retards.

[Ale_lock]

huh?!

[recneps]

what hes saying is if you put blue lights in you car youll lose hp.

[macavely]

reomver the radio system.. and close all open voltage loops... remove power doors and windows.... airbag system... power brake system... headlight lights windshield washer pumps.. a/c... ABS,,,cruis control..and if you still have you stock airbox..pack ice around it.. make a fiberglass underbody cover...

[playr158]

relocate your air filter to the front of your car (in the front bumper)(don't make the tubing bigger than the throttle body)
take out the back seat
smaller 14"-15" wheels
take off your muffler entirely (HAHALOL *cough def at sport compact*)
remove the excess systems-radio is easy, door panels are easy,
short shifter(for manual applications)
spark lugs, wires, cap and rotor, sythetic oil, 2 bottles of octance boost that are a boost in 10 points each(equivelnt to 1pnt=.1octance number so 2 bottles equals 93 octane is now 95)LOL
get rid of your girl
the passenger seat
ect

[turboinduction]

[scorpian3243]

Hey rocky were are you from in stl. City or county. Just askin I never see anyone from stl on here but me.

[rocky2006]

I live in South County. To be even more specific, I live in Oakville. Also, one of my friends (not on the forums) has a '94 Celica GT. We are the only 6th gens I see on the road for the most part. Let me know where you live and how old you are, were only 16, but ill be 17 in 2 months.

[scorpian3243]

I live in the city. Next spring I am starting a project on my gf's 6g st. we are re-buildind internals and turboing it.

[scorpian3243]

Their isn't much you can do to our cars unless you have money. Or you do what they said and take everything out. But overall look at the good side if your car has been well taken care of it will practically outlast anything on the road (except another toyota.) But if you have the money you can do the mods.

[jayi12-15psi]

stl celicas!!!

[rocky2006]

[5sfeTurbo]

Just make your baby look real sexy and she will be o...k....I.E.and maybee a header will bring you 4 1/2 horsies not worth it to be honest, just be happy you have what you have.

[scorpian3243]

I agree with 5sfeturbo. Theirs nothing wrong with makin it look good. Just don't go thinkin you speed racer it annoys people.

[uzthedentist]

Good quality tyres are a must!!! or TIRES as you yanks say! tires in the oxford english dictionary=to begin to feel as if you have no energy and want to rest or go to sleep, or to make someone feel this way

theres a tuning guide on my website, although its not quite finished!

TUNING

[specialchowmain]

if you get octain booster make sure you advance your timing a bit, i've heard of people making quite a few horses this way.

hey. i'm a noob here.... i drove a 6gen ST before and after my dumb ass friend crashed it, i got myself a 6gen GT. lotsa power difference.... free performance... i think nothing's free.. but there's definitely cheap performance stuff.... i got my intake for 20bucks, replaced it with a K&N filter $25, got a breather filter from auto zone, 11bucks, replace all sparks with iridium sparks..$50bucks+, if you are in NYC.... instead of spending $400++ on Greddy SP catback.. get a muffler you like and go to shea stadium to redo the piping... i got mine for $100 plus tip. their welding skills are alrite... hope i helped in any way.

[spunky393]

Do i count for being from Quincy st. louis people? ooh ooh wait, what about this, my sister is a Ram's Cheerleader, does that make me count????? (She's Erin Bradshaw)
