I’ve been browsing, and trying to learn. It’s not really THAT educational, as most of what’s inside is stuff I’ve picked up over the years anyways. It’s nice to have a quick, solid reference on hand though. I could quote you some of the fine print, to justify my build… but I don’t mind acknowledging that YOU TOLD ME SO […]
2 I think this picture looks good…for something to come off an iPhone… I might have to come make another camera purchase. The doors on the barn have finally unfrozen (half at least) and I let the car sit and idle while I once overed all the bolts and tweaked the alignment in preparation for being out on the road this […]
Fancy Lights
5 AFM tuning. The car is all but road worthy after a solid afternoon in the barn. An alignment and a few other details remain, but the turbocharger is fitted in it’s entirety.

The downpipe is on and fitting good, although it took a 5 pound sledge to get a safe distance off the firewall, and Dave Coleman’s […]

Between the irregular shape of the turbo outlet, and the tight confines of the steering column and frame rail I was quite fearful of screwing up and wasting time and materials. Hammer forming the […]
Downpipe Dekiru?
2 Well… not quite, but I’m going to look into it. The truth is… our RAV-4 is actually gross. It’s more gutless than our Echo even… and it’s not actually getting great gas mileage. 480km on 50Liters is worse than 10L/100km. The Echo surprisingly… uses about 30% less. But more than that… I’ve been frustrated over and over again, finding time […]
