hmm nothing much, its a autocross / track spec car. sonic keep insisting he wants to take pics of my undercarriage to show here LOL  icon_rolleyes.gif
its one of a kind in malaysia i can say. doubt any other ae80s are like mine hahahaha

i too prefer ke70s which is why im looking for a dead one now, strip it down fully and rebuild as non-road car
*
ahh, so it's pretty much stripped. So u take part in autocross eh? your car needs a better engine, a little more horses and torque would not hurt wink.gif

yea, KE70s are great to play with, closest u can get to a drift car without going overboard with the budget. Problem with finding one now is that all are very bad condition and badly rusted. Can get for around few thousand but condition really needs a lot of work.

anyone of you guys experience the excessive floating in Altezza while driving at 200km/h?  hmm.gif
i thought it was the MEX highway problem, then again, it wasn't the crosswind area.
same problem happened at any road.
anyone can recommend a good shop for a useful bodykit?

thanks  icon_rolleyes.gif

excessive floating? hmm... what suspension are u using? standard?
i'm using TRD sportivo superlows, no floating when I travel 180km/h on MEX.

sorry bro, i've not change any bodykits to my altezza so don't know which ones to recommend. But I heard Nitro's good, they do custom bodykits as well and my friend sent his pajero there. Good quality. Here's the contact and map:

the car is running 160hp on wheel. should be enough for everything i use it for xD

i dont mind in terrible condition, but im looking for one that is totally dead without any engine. chassis + body can be paneled and spot welded since its not gonna see the road tarmac
*
160hp? wahh, not bad for an AE80. So it's not stock isn't it? so what have u done to the engine?
it's been so long since i've modified cars

thanks for the link. stock suspension with only bars / struts installed. no bodykit.
wondering if a good bodykit will help. perhaps, a simple diffuser.
btw, yours was the v6 or 3s-ge?
*
mine's a 3S-GE engine.

to be honest, stock suspension will not cut it for 200km/h as the original car has a 180km/h limiter and that will explain your floating sensation at high speeds on straights. Instead of getting a bodykit, might I suggest that u get a set of suspension for your SXE10, it would serve it better if u are planning to at run high speeds. Plus custom bodykits here do not have wind tunnel testing and there's no guarantee that it'll improve the aerodynamics of your car. Most of the kits out there are made to look good, not handle.

If it's handling u are after, your money will be better invested on changing the suspension

how i wish i could get the wilder 3S-GE instead.
currently looking for Tein adjustable but might put it on hold since Gong Xi Fa Cai is just around the corner.
btw, what is your tire size?
*
u mean your's is a GXE10? That's the IS200 model isn't it? Ahh, that's not an altezza, sorry to say but nevertheless still the same chassis. Well good news is not many ppl can tell the difference if u remove the badges.

TEINs are not bad but some complain that it gives a harsher ride. If u don't want too hardcore, TRD ones aren't bad. I'm running stock rims 215/45/R17.

yea, the 3S-GE engine is definitely more powerful but it's still weak compared to a lot of cars out there. I'm still wondering whether to mod the engine at a later stage of the car's life. Well here's a clip of a TRD-tuned altezza.

yepp. IS200. both are identical  sweat.gif 
currently using TEIN Superstreet on another ride. harsher ride indeed but it eats corner like no tomorrow  brows.gif
hardcore tuned 3S-GTE easily crank out more than 300hp but after years with turbo engine, now wanna play around with NA engine.
wondering if there is a better V6 engine available out there for the IS200  hmm.gif

nice video, btw!

i started with playing with turbo engines, then switched to NA. Now feel wanna go back to turbo. Waiting for the right time.

yea, that's a good video. Plus got hamsap tsuchiya-san whistling.gif

Hi to all Toyota fans,
I have a question regarding fuel consumption on my Toyota Corolla 1.6SEG (Auto) AE101 model. What is average fuel consumption for this model of car? Mine is about 0.22 sen/km  shocking.gif  . I am not sure this is normal or not cause Vios model only consume about 0.16 sen/km. Appreciate your feedback. Many thanks
*
wow! if u are getting 22cents per km for a 1.6cc, then i think my altezza with a 3SGE 2.0cc is pretty good. I'm getting 19cents a km. This is for combined figures.
