Just a random check in from me. Still have my Celi, and she's now safely tucked in a garage again after a recent relocation to Fort Wayne, IN. Still being driven quite a bit but not sitting outside all the time anymore. That 2 years spent outside took a toll on it's paint unfortunately, but once the weather breaks and it warms up some I'm going to go over it with a polisher and clean it up good.........
Gratuitous shot to prove she's still around.

I disagree, your car is very deserving of Celica of the Month.
 Still have the Trans Am?

Working wastegate bugs out.......I'm overpowering the spring even with the boost controller though I'm right at 200% spring pressure. It spikes to 17 PSI boost then quickly falls to about 14.5 PSI. Gotta find a bigger spring so I can get the 20-25lbs I'm wanting. Ran it last fall, best pass was 11.58@134 on a 2.0 short time, and blew a cold side coupler off 1 second before the traps according to my datalog, which cost me some time and certainly some MPH because the car fell on it's face. With a launch in the 1.6 range and a full pass I should be DEEEEEEEEP into the 10's and upper 9's with the boost issue fixed. -------------------- |
