Tyler..... lol

I was going to say that, but I didn't want to jump to conclusions. The next time I'm in FL. I'm going to want to race with you guys. I was down there in my Z not to long ago, but only got to meet up with some of the other rolla owners. I'll bring the tC down next time.

[BlindDrifter]

Just let me know.

@maxou5757. Both were modded and the vw had its turbo spooled. Do this from a dead stop and you might learn that the first 15-20 mph is more engine than anything.

@rdmcdani yea that happens to 1.8T GTI's. they run out of puff after a certain speed and unless they have an upgraded intercooler, they get heat soaked bad. clean run though

[maxou5757]

loll nice try shitty Toyota

Vw rules

Kool.....only problem with the XRS though, is that they really don't have much of an aftermarket support for them. They are JUST now even developing an intake manifold for them. Just about everything in Puerto Rico is fast...lol. There is a tC in Puerto Rico putting down 500+whp and Reving to 8000k rpms.

haha danm that sucks. I heard about the 2nd one but never seen it in action. That sucks about gushi. RIght now im planing to buy ether an old FC rx7 really love thos cars or a is300 and a older sc300. It anything ill just get and xrs like this one. Ive seen one turbod in Puerto rico making around 400hp its really nice

I use to have a 97 rolla. Loved that car, I was on my way to buy the 350z when the clutch went out in it. Good thing I was only about 2 mins from being home when it happened, and my fiance was behind me in our new 350. There are 2 D1 tC's now you know that right? Second one is driven by Tanner Foust and is powered by the V8 that Toyota puts in their Nascars. Has a Supra rear end. First outing, Tanner placed 3rd with it. Gushi put his tC into a wall, not sure where he qualified though.

High school....lol. I graduated HS back in 1998...lol. Best turbo kit for the tC now is PTuning. It's leaps and bounds over the Dezod turbo kits. It's designed off of PTuning's Time Attack tC. They make 504whp in their tC on a dyno dynamics dyno. That would be like 550whp on a dyno jet. Chris Rado's Time Attack tC is estimated to pump out 800ftbs of tQ this year. They stroked the motor to 2.7L. I sold my turbo setup so I can get the PTuning one.

Yea that nice lsd make a big difference. My first car was an 85 corolla with a trd lsd. It was quick as ball one of the best handling car i have ever driven in my life. Ive seen the D1 tc awhile back and thought it was pretty sweet

[rhythmnsmoke]

I didn't realize winning was a waste of money. Anyhow, it's getting setup for Time Attack now anyway. Not much of a street racer anymore, I'm getting more recognition for building it into a Time Attack car. My tranny should be back from PTuning in a day or two, just got the LSD installed. More to come with my tC. Plan to run 11's on the stock motor during the non-Time Attack days.

lol nah i didnt see your tc. I though you was just another high school kid talkin non sense. My friend has a tc and is thinking about geting the dezod turbo kit. I told him not to just build his own. Me im looking to get an xrs myself. Just wondering how much you put down in that tc?
