Rear: Hardrace LCA w/Sperical bearing (adjusted to -2.3deg)

Front/Rear sways are Hardrace, both on softest setting.
RS-R coilvers are the Moto Spec ones, lowered 25mm



Might used some 3rd party camber tops for the front as I want to get more negative camber on the front. Either that or get some MCA coilovers.

Correct me if I am wrong, but doesn't the RSR coilover kit have a reverseable top hat you can set to 0 or -1.5 in the front? Given that, you should be able to get a lot more negative camber if you turn them 180.

Hmmm not too sure. I got these 2nd hand so i didn't really do much research into them. I'll have to check with Moto if that's the case.

Also, you did only rear and why?
What do you think about this mod after time?
Thanks.

They are 'one-use' bolts only. The bolts are 'stretched' when installed, and not usually meant to be uninstalled. They have a specific shear strength and its better to be on safe side and just to replace them.

Haven't installed them yet, been too lazy :/

Re-tune from United P100 to Shell V-Power

Was up for a tune today, did this last night. I replaced the resonator box in the engine bay. I previously plugged up the hole with a rubber stopper, but further research showed that its more beneficial to retain the resonator box.

Put the last remaining bits of my DEI Reflect-A-Gold tape on the engine side of the box, and used electrical tape to seal the connection between the airbox and the resonator to make it air tight(stock has 2 rivets holding it in place).

Pic below.


Thought I'd give a shot to see if my old TRD intake would fit the current setup. It won't work if you have the Crawford power blocks and the TorqueSolutions TB spacer installed. It *just* clears the sandwich plate of the HKS oil cooler though.



Here's some pics of the dyno.
Initial dyno power run on the car as-is(untuned) running SHELL V-Power. 177.3hp



Last dyno plot when car was on P100. 179.6hp

Comparison overlay of current hp vs bone stock hp. 183.3hp vs 129-130hp


Looking to do some more weight reduction. I believe the car's 'track weight' is around 1140-1150kgs or so now.

DI Cover Removal

1.333kgs saved

Didn't require to disconnect/reconnect the fuel lines to remove this. Just had to unscrew the oil filter and loosen and gently jiggle the DI cover out. Helps if you remove the bracket that's screw down to the cover also.

Why so much Camber at the rear's? I would like to have only -1,2 deg. instead of 2.0 on my car, and -2.0 in the front.

Maybe I should invest some € in these: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/EIBACH-TOY...-/330950032314 Look oem and work well, adjustment up to 2.0 deg.

What is the total weight of your car by now?

Normal weight is around 1200kgs flat. When I track and remove some other stuff, about 1150-1160kgs.

Going to get some front camber adjustable top plates soon, then will have the whole setup re aligned. -2.7 on the fronts and -1.7 on the rears.

A potential +3 car lengths increase






This will most probably be installed in 2 weeks time.
Planning on getting my wheels painted(hopefully before Thursday).
Receiving my V70A R-Comps by Friday, and getting them fitted that day too.

Also ordered some STi Group-N Engine Mount and STi Group-N Transmission Mounts yesterday. Since I'm going to get my complete exhaust wrapped in DEI Titanium heat wrap I thought I might as well change the engine mounts while I'm at it(I forgot to last time around). With any luck this will be done Tuesday next week, and finally get the close ratio installed next next Friday.

This are the STi Group-N transmission mount(TOP). Bottom is Stock mount.

I think part of the CUSCO transmission mount might be able to work with the STi mount too, might have a try.
may i know the toyota part number of the ring and pinion?

Front Camber Tops, Spark Plug check

Getting new camber tops fitted for my RS*R coilovers as I need more negative camber up front. Only running -1.2 or -1.3 camber if I recall.

Car keeps throwing a P0351 CEL code whenever I'm on the main racing circuit. So it will run fine for the first series of laps, then will bring up the CEL code. I proceed to reset after the laps, but the car after reset runs like its been detuned.

Also waiting for a Type 3 diffuser to come out. RB faux diffuser acts like a parachute at speed.

New STD Camber tops for the RS*R


Okada Coilpack

Diffuser Needed


Spark Plug after 1 year plus frequent tracking



Also had a 1/4 mile run two weeks ago. 15.2 seconds lol
